'Real Housewives of NYC' Star Sonja Morgan Files for Bankruptcy, Blames John Travolta
Sonja Morgan is joining fellow 'Real Housewife' Teresa Giudice on the bankruptcy train. Somebody call up Ramona Singer and get this woman some "Turtle time," stat.According to the Wall Street Journal, Morgan, a recent addition to Bravo's 'The Real Housewives of New York City,' filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In her petition, Morgan listed $19.8 million in debt with $13.5 million in assets. The source for her financial woes? None other than John Travolta.
Prior to Sonja's divorce from John Adams Morgan, the two began the aptly titled Sonja Productions, an indie movie company. The company produced 'The Marsh,' starring Forest Whitaker. Sonja Productions struck a deal with Hannibal Pictures Inc. to produce 'Fast Flash to Bang Time,' a film that had Travolta attached to star.
However, Morgan wrote in her affidavit that things turned sour when Travolta started making demands that Hannibal Pictures and her company could not meet. After the film deal fell apart, Hannibal Pictures took Morgan to court and won a $7 million judgment.
In her documents, Morgan said she wishes to preserve assets and her spot on 'Real Housewives' to allow her to pursue new endeavors. She listed her monthly income with support as $26,000.
'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Giudice filed for bankruptcy earlier this year, claiming more than $11 million in debt.
