Real Housewives of New York City stars face internal disputes

Cast members of The Real Housewives of New York City are involved in multiple disputes following the premiere of the show's 16th season.

Carole Radziwill has criticized Sai De Silva for asking questions regarding Radziwill’s past connection to Ghislaine Maxwell. Radziwill accused De Silva of seeking a “gotcha moment” for entertainment rather than seeking clarity. Radziwill stated that her friendship with Maxwell occurred twenty years ago, that she never met Jeffrey Epstein, and that she believes certain stories should not be exploited for reality television.

Separately, Sai De Silva has accused cast member Erin Lichy of spreading rumors. De Silva alleged that Lichy shared information regarding De Silva’s divorce and further accused Lichy of spreading “despicable” rumors concerning Jessel Taank’s husband, Pavit. Lichy has denied these accusations.
