RHONY OG Ramona Singer “wasn’t invited” to RHUGT: RHONY Legacy premiere event after racism scandal but showed up anyway! Get the tea!
Page Six reports that Ramona Singer‘s appearance at the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy premiere was unexpected to everyone, including Bravo and her co-stars, following her racism scandal.
An invitation for Tuesday’s RHONY Legacy premiere included the names of stars Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, Kelly Bensimon, and Kristen Taekman.
The invitation was missing Ramona’s name because she was set to be in Palm Beach, FL, and wouldn’t be at the premiere.
However, Ramona changed her plans and tried to scheme her way into the party but instead “crashed” the event, which was a star-studded fete.
“She wasn’t invited, came anyway, didn’t stay long,” a source said.
A second insider says that Ramona “called the day before” the event to let them know she would be in town and could attend the party.
“She wasn’t so much invited as she just decided to show up,” the second source quips, noting that many were “surprised” to see the Real Housewives of New York OG walking the red carpet.
A third source says Ramona only attended the event for about ten minutes.
Meanwhile, a source close to Ramona says Bravo and Peacock knew she would be at the RHONY Legacy premiere and that the cast was happy she was in attendance.
This is the Bravo star’s first public appearance for the network after she was disinvited to BravoCon 2023 after texting a partial slur to a reporter while attempting to defend herself amid racism allegations hurled at her in Vanity Fair’s October expose on Bravo and the Real Housewives.
In Vanity Fair‘s article, it was alleged that Ramona used the N-word in a conversation with a black crew member while filming season 13 of RHONY.
Ramona also allegedly said that “most” black people don’t have present fathers in their lives. The 67-year-old insists that she “never” used the N-word but acknowledges that she did bring up a “study” she read about while discussing parenting.
Amid the controversy from Vanity Fair‘s article, the RHONY OG put her foot in her mouth yet again and wound up using the racial slur once again.
“And the word I used was ‘NWord’ Not n-g…,” Ramona texted a Page Six reporter.
As a result, the RHONY OG was cut from BravoCon.
During day one of BravoCon 2023, which is being held in Las Vegas, Andy Cohen stood by Bravo’s decision to disinvite Ramona from the weekend-long event following her racial slur controversy.
“Well, I mean I think listen, not to dwell on it, but I think just the events of this week led to her not being here. I think it was the right call and period dot,” Andy told Page Six.
When asked about Ramona’s future with the network, Andy said: “Well, I mean, we already shot ‘RHONY Legacy,’ so you will see her there, yeah.”
RHUGT: RHONY Legacy is currently available on Peacock.
