“The Real Housewives of New York City” is entering Season 15 of the popular franchise, and the cast is bringing new housewife Racquel Chevremont along with them.
That’s right, the gang’s all back, and that’s including Sai De Silva, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield. Designer Rebecca Minkoff will also be tagging along this season as a friend of the show.
Chevremont stands as “Real Housewives of New York City’s” second queer housewife. She told GLAAD that she hopes to bring forth more LGBTQIA+ representation.
“My entire adult life has been about representation and using whatever platform I have to get the voices of queer folks of the diaspora out there,” Chevremont told the outlet. “What better way to do so if not as a member of this iconic franchise?”
She continued, saying that the opportunity is “exciting.” I wasn’t sure if they were going to want two queer women on a franchise that has historically been about married heterosexual women. I think it was a bold decision and honestly a more authentic representation of NYC,” Chevremont added.
The series returns on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Here’s everything to know about the newest “RHONY” cast member.
