Real Housewives of New York alum, Sonja Morgan, “sustained minor injuries,” causing an ambulance to be called “out of an abundance of caution.”
ICYMI, TMZ published a photo of the RHONY star was seen on a stretcher being loaded into an ambulance outside of Echo restaurant in Palm Beach, Florida.
Sonja spoke on the matter:
The socialite gave a statement to People that she received medical assistance after being injured while helping a fellow patron.
“An elderly patron at the restaurant I was dining at appeared to be in distress. I called for medical assistance. While assisting during the commotion, I sustained some minor injuries. Out of an abundance of caution, the EMTs wanted [Sonja] to be checked out.”
“I’m incredibly grateful to the first responders for their swift care and professionalism.”
Sonja was issued a trespassing warning by police:
Captain Rothrock of the Palm Beach Police Department confirmed that officers responded to a medical call at the restaurant at The Breakers Palm Beach.
Rothrock noted that the department “issued a written trespass warning to Sonja at the request of the Breakers Hotel (owner of Echo).” The statement didn’t mention if another patron was involved.
TMZ reported that Sonja refused to sign the warning. But, police were unable to corroborate that report. “I didn’t want to leave. I insisted on making sure she was cared for.”
Sonja was “seemingly upset while loudly speaking to responding officers” for about 15 minutes before being transported via ambulance. The Palm Beach Fire Department also confirmed that they responded to a call for medical service at the restaurant and they treated a patient on the scene.
