Season 13 of Real Housewives of New York was disappointing and dismal. Eboni K. Williams came aboard as the first Black Housewife on the franchise, and immediately clashed with Ramona Singer and Luann de Lesseps. There were rumblings that the show was going on a permanent hiatus.
Then, the RHONY reunion was cancelled. While most fans assumed that the reunion was scuttled due to poor ratings during the season, the real reason was something unexpected.
According to TMZ, Eboni filed a complaint against Ramona, alleging that she made a comment that was “racially motivated.” After a lengthy investigation by a third-party, which involved interviews with the crew and the cast, Ramona was cleared. By then, producers decided that it was too late to film the reunion. Prior to Eboni, a crew member supposedly also filed a similar complaint against Ramona.
Eboni took Ramona to task during the season when she referred to her staff as “the help.” Page Six reported that the comment that Ramona allegedly made was, “This is why we shouldn’t have black people on the show,” referring to Eboni. Ramona reportedly made the remark after Luann kicked Eboni out of her house during the Hamptons trip.
As always, Ramona took her lack of accountability to soaring new heights. “I never said that. It’s a terrible lie,” Ramona stated. “It’s very disappointing that even after my name was cleared that people still want to slander me.”
Earlier this season, Bershan Shaw, Ramona’s friend, said that her RHONY co-star is “not a racist.” Amid all this drama, Ramona also denied reports that she was fired from the show.
Of course, Ramona and Luann are on the new Peacock series, Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. In the trailer, which was shared by @JaysRealityBlog on Twitter, Ramona is in the thick of the drama. She gets into it with Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Cynthia Bailey.
When Ramona says “f*ck you” to RHOA peach Kenya Moore, you know it’s on! Kenya clapped back, “Who the f–k do you think you are Ramona?” It’s safe to say that Ramona will continue to ruffle feathers during this trip to Turks and Caicos. I’m curious to find out what tactics Ramona employed in her quest to grab the best room.

It seems that Kenya had an issue with Ramona before the trip even started. Kenya slammed Ramona for “exposing the girls to COVID after we were, like, in the bubble.” That seems to be a favorite past-time for Ramona. “I was like, ‘Oh, no. You’re not going to put my health at risk,’” Kenya commented. “I think I just kind of called her out, and she didn’t like that.”
Page Six reported that Kenya weighed in on the RHONY investigation launched by Ramona’s alleged racially insensitive comment. “I’d hate to speculate on something like that,” Kenya remarked. “I don’t know her well enough, and I didn’t personally firsthand witness anything.”
The RHOA star continued, “That could be very damaging to someone, especially if it’s not true. I just would like to have more evidence or know more about what is alleged or just simply wait until it’s an actual fact or not.” Fair enough.
During the RHUGT filming, Kenya didn’t get the vibe that Ramona is actually racist. Kenya stated, “I didn’t get that sense. I got the sense that she was just a jerk.”
