Just minutes into the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City, and it’s already pretty clear to audiences that things aren’t picture-perfect with the cast.
Viewers were immediately thrown into the high-stakes drama in the Season 15 premiere opening, where cameras picked back up for the RHONY opening credits photo shoot on June 25, 2024, five days after filming ended. It appeared tensions threatened scheduling as the Housewives from the Big Apple got glammed up for the gig, as seen in the Season 15, Episode 1 cold open.
Here’s what we know from the flash-forward scene, and what juiciness awaits audiences in Season 15.
What will happen on RHONY Season 15?
Jessel Taank looked on from her glam chair before clips of the upcoming season — including some major back and forth between Ubah Hassan and Brynn Whitfield — gave viewers an epic tease of what’s to come, especially a lot of drama with the whole cast.
Erin Lichy, in the makeup chair ahead of the opening credits shoot, told Jessel, “We need to stand up for what’s right.”
“I feel like you and I have kind of been in the middle of this,” Jessel said back to Erin.
Tensions behind the scenes continued brewing, and a producer could be heard saying that one of the 'Wives didn’t want to be mic’d.
“I don’t even know how they’re going to be in the same room together today,” Erin commented.
It was impossible for the other Housewives, such as Sai De Silva and Jenna Lyons, not to feel the heat of their surroundings backstage. Jenna even agreed with Sai’s statements that the past events of Season 15 were “f-cked up.”
“What the f-ck is happening?” the typically calm and composed Jenna said in a flashback scene. “What just went down was insane.”
One Housewife, indistinguishable in the shadows of the flashback clip, could be seen walking away from producers as cameras followed. In the light of day, Erin and Sai agreed that whatever went down was “shocking.”
“I don’t know how this gets repaired,” said RHONY newcomer Racquel Chevremont.
But ultimately, all the women headed into the studio, ready to take their apples and show off their incredible looks.
“There needs to be apologies from both sides,” Erin told one of the 'Wives.
“Where do we go from here?” Sai wondered aloud.
Cue the opening credits and their ever-so-bold taglines.
Only time will tell what transpired between the Wives, but based on the premiere’s glimpse into the future, it’s crystal clear that it will be a season packed with show-stopping craziness.
