Whitfield, who people thought was leaving the show earlier in the season, was angry that Hassan said that she probably slept with someone to get her job on The Real Housewives of New York City. Later, Hassan and Whitfield made jokes about it and Whitfield made a sexual joke about herself. It was then turned back onto Hassan and the two were screaming at each other with Whitfield alleging that Hassan knew she was sexually assaulted and that's why it hurt Whitfield's feelings. As their fight went on, Whitfield admitted that maybe Hassan didn't hear her when she told her about it.
This fight led to the women all being angry with Whitfield at the opening credits photoshoot and got to the point where even Jenna Lyons yelled at Whitfield in the trailer for the reunion episodes. The casting call did not state that any of the wives were leaving but the rest of the cast did send Bozoma Saint John from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills a gift and Whitfield was not included on the card, but the rest of the full time cast was.
