‘RHONY’ boxing coach slams Eboni K. Williams for ‘betraying’ Leah McSweeney

Reality TV

Those are fighting words.

Martin Snow, the fan-favorite boxing coach who appeared on “The Real Housewives of New York City,” is accusing Eboni K. Williams of “betraying” Leah McSweeney.

The trainer took to Instagram Friday to air his grievances, beginning a lengthy caption, “In other news, I got blocked by Eboni for commenting on a bulls–t claim she made about McSweeney in a book she wrote.”

“If you believe it back it up,” he continued. “If you think McSweeney was using you as a sidekick say it to her face.”

Snow then slammed Williams for speculating about McSweeney’s motives, saying in the fashion designer’s defense that she is “one of the most loyal people” he has ever come across.

The Trinity Boxing CEO claimed Williams had sold out her friend in order to sell her new book, “Bet on Black,” which was released on Jan. 31.

“Enjoy the 30 pieces of silver they gave you to betray her,” he added. “You’ll need it. As far as the rest of the show goes, at least they tried.”

Snow also criticized Williams’ efforts to speak up for social justice issues on “RHONY,” writing, “Fighting for justice on BRAVO is kind of like fighting global warming on the Food Network.”

He concluded, “Anyhoo, hope you unblock me someday do I can do my part in keeping things real. By the way, my dog has his own instagram account so if you get any snide remarks from a sarcastic pit bull it’s not me.”

Snow shared the snarky post alongside a selfie he took with Williams, 39, McSweeney, 40, and their fellow “RHONY” alum Sonja Morgan.

His remarks come days after Williams penned an essay for Newsweek, in which she wrote about her time on the reality show and said of McSweeney, “I suspect she felt that I would be a great sidekick to that ascension, perhaps regarding me as being a kind of Lisa Turtle to a Kelly Kapowski.”

“As you can imagine, being the Black sidekick was the last thing I had in mind,” the attorney added.

A rep for McSweeney could not be immediately reached for a response on Snow and Williams’ remarks, but she appeared to side with her coach, as she “liked” his post.

Williams’ rep did not immediately return requests for comment either.

The “Equal Justice with Judge Eboni K. Williams” star has downplayed her friendship with McSweeney in the past.

In November 2022, Williams said she and the Married to the Mob founder were just “friendly colleagues.”

The legal expert starred in Season 13 of “RHONY” — and was the first black “Housewife” to appear on in the Big Apple-based series — but amid a ratings decline and public criticism, the reality show was soon after revamped with a brand-new cast.
