Ramona Singer and Emma Roberts shared a lighthearted moment this week after the former “Real Housewives of New York City” star mistakenly brushed off the actress, thinking she was a fan.
The interaction, which both women recounted in a selfie-style video posted to Singer’s Instagram Story, quickly turned from awkward to amusing.
A ‘Classic’ Ramona Moment
Singer, 68, quickly took to social media with a clip of her and Roberts recounting the mishap. “So guess who I ran into!” Singer exclaimed to her followers, before panning the camera to the “American Horror Story” actress. “She wanted to say ‘hi’ to me. I said, ‘Not now!’”
Roberts, 34, took the mix-up in stride. “She said, ‘Get away! No!’” the actress joked, imitating Singer’s reaction by holding up her hand in a “stop” sign.
Fans flooded the comments section to laugh along at what many called classic Ramona behavior. “I would love to be shooed away by Ramona! Classic ❤️❤️,” one commenter wrote. Another chimed in, “Ramona is Ramona. That’s just how she is 😂.” A third added, “’I was busy’ … aw man. I love Ramona, I don’t care what anyone says. No one is as nonchalant as she is — then she makes a joke out of it 😆😂.”
Avery Singer Steps In to Smooth Things Over
The situation was quickly rectified thanks to Singer’s daughter, Avery, who entered the video and explained how the confusion was cleared up. “You need to immediately go fix it because you have no idea who you just shooed away,” Avery recalled telling her mother.
Taking matters into her own hands, the 30-year-old approached Roberts to offer a sincere apology. “[I said], ‘Excuse me, I really would like to apologize on behalf of my mother,’” she explained in the video.
Despite the awkward moment, the two women appeared in good spirits, with Roberts assuring viewers that everything had been smoothed over. “Now we’re BFFs — all of us!” she said, smiling next to the Singers in the clip.
While some online have previously criticized Singer for being “rude” or “tone-deaf,” this incident was handled with humor and grace by all involved.
A ‘RHONY’ Reunion
Just this past week, Singer reunited with former castmate Luann de Lesseps, sharing a photo on Instagram with the caption, “Loved running into so many friends, especially @countessluann @sunsetbeachhotel.”
Former “RHONY” co-star Kelly Bensimon also joined in on the fun, commenting on the snapshot, “I was there on Saturday!!!”
As Bravo weighs the next chapter of “RHONY,” the OG’s reunion and Ramona’s headline-grabbing antics prove the original cast still commands attention.
