Carole Radziwill returns for ‘RHONY’ Season 16 premiere
The sixteenth season of ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ premiered on Bravo on September 8, featuring the return of Carole Radziwill after a seven-season absence. Radziwill, a former journalist and author, noted that her return was influenced by fan enthusiasm following BravoCon. During the premiere and subsequent appearances on ‘Watch What Happens Live’, Radziwill discussed the emotional difficulty of being questioned by castmates regarding her late friends, John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, following the release of the FX series ‘Love Story’.
The new season introduces several new cast members, including Hailey Glassman, Erika Hammond, and Daisy Toye. During the premiere, Martha Stewart, who has worked as Toye’s makeup artist for nearly 17 years, made a cameo and commented on Toye’s kitchen setup and store-bought food.
Viewers can access the new season via Bravo or through streaming services such as Peacock, FuboTV, and DIRECTV. The season is expected to feature evolving dynamics among both returning members like Sai de Silva, Erin Lichy, and Jessel Taank, and the new additions.
