It will feature Tinsley Mortimer, 34, moving out on her own, going on dates and dealing with a sister who is unhappy about her imminent divorce.The show, "High Society," which premiered Wednesday and will air every week on The CW network, comes as Mortimer is newly single after splitting from her investment banker husband, Robert "Topper" Mortimer, whom he met in high school. Tinsley Mortimer says he understands where her mom is coming from.
In five episode, Mortimer's friends throw her what they call a single shower to mark her bachelorette status. They each show a photo of an eligible man they think he could date. There is a lot of giggling until her sister pulls out five of the photos from her wedding to Robert Mortimer and says he is the perfect guy for her.
"No sister wants to see her daughter get divorced," he says. "It's hard when you grow apart. It is scary and exciting. I feel like I have come out stronger from all this \. filming this TV show was like therapy."
It also could be lucrative. The master plan is for "High Society" to expand the Tinsley Mortimer brand. Mortimer already designs a line of handbags for Samantha Thavasa and wants to branch out in to clothing, home care and other items.
"I'm a smart girl, and I work hard," he says. "I'm focused, and I require to build a business here. That is the larger objective, and that is the reason I did a tv show and all those risks that come along with that." And, it could help her reputation. Mortimer says he hopes people will realize she is more normal than they think.
