Real Housewives of New York: Why Fans Are Worried About The New Season

After watching the release of the explosive season 13 trailer, The Real Housewives of New Yorkfans are “worried” about the new season. Eboni K. Williams is a new addition to the cast. Leah McSweeney is returning to settle a score with a few ladies. Ramona Singer’s entitled attitude appears to set the stage for a showdown with Eboni.

When Dorinda Medley got fired last summer, Bravo fans were already wondering what would happen to the show. Shortly after her removal, producers announced that the new housewife who was coming to fill the void, Eboni, would be the franchise’s first Black housewife. Reality television is something new for Eboni. She built a name for herself as a news analyst and worked as an anchorwoman at CBS News, FOX News, HLN/CNN, and more. Most recently, she served as a host on Revolt TV, while also embarking on a new reality TV career. Her work experience means that she is used to holding her own in fierce debates, Eboni is the perfect addition to the group of shade-throwing housewives, despite her self-described “third wheel” dynamic with Sonja and Ramona.

As the RHONY cast prepare for the May 4 premiere, viewers are sharing how “worried” they are about where the new season is going. There are concerns because the cast has dwindled in size. “RHONY Season 13: Are you ready,” one Reddit user captioned a thread that shared the season 13 cast photo. “I really wish they would give us 7-8 ladies but regardless am super excited for this upcoming season,” they added. It was earlier this month when the season 13 trailer teased the topless party that Instagram-popular current housewife Leah hosts. It also showed her return to her boxing gym with her beloved trainer, Martin Snow. Additionally, Eboni’s back-and-forth with Ramona was seen. Eboni educates the “Singer Stinger” about gaslighting.

The Real Housewives of New York fans joined in to discuss what they saw in the season 13 trailer. “I‘m worried for this season. I’m not sure why,” one fan confessed. “Maybe it’s the absence of Dorinda. But I’ll never not watch NY,” they added. Others were very excited to see the return of Heather Thomson. She left the show in season 7. Since then, she’s made brief guest appearances on RHONY. “I love watching the real housewives but I can’t say I like any of them,” said one Redditor. That Reddit user continued, “They have their likable moments but that’s about it.” Others agreed that LuAnn De Lesseps, Ramona, and notorious “worst tipper” Sonja Morgan are hard to like.

The Real Housewives of New York season 13 was filmed during the pandemic. This makes some viewers anxious because of how rough 2020 was. “I’m worried about all my shows when they have to start showing covid sh*t because it’s no longer allows me to avoid reality!,” quipped one fan. Despite all the worry from fans, it’s clear that they will be tuned in when season 13 kicks off in a few more weeks.
