The ‘Real Housewives Of New York’ is shaking things up and making history in the process.
Because, the hit Bravo show has officially unveiled Eboni K. Williams as its first Black Housewife.
Full story below…
The attorney/media maven becomes the first Black cast member in the show’s 13-years on-air.
Speaking to TMZ, 37-year-old Williams – who has worked for FOX and Revolt – said:
“NYC is filled with successful and dynamic Black women. I’m excited to join this legendary franchise as the first Black housewife. Can’t wait to share a slice of life in this city that hasn’t been seen before.
Anyone who’s aware of my work knows I don’t hold back. I’m going to keep it just as real here as I do everywhere else.”
Williams’ recruitment comes on the heels of Garcelle Beauvais joining the ‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.’
Suffice to say, diversity seems to be a top priority across the Housewives franchises. Which is little surprise given that the ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ – which is anchored by an Afro-American cast – remains the highest rated amongst all the Housewives shows.
So we’re just gonna call everybody with a lil tan, “black”, huh? 🤔
I think us unacceptable for this just to be on this long and just now getting its first black person. Sickining.
Exactly. And why no Asian housewives for any of the cities? Bravo has me giving them the side eye
I’m happy they finally added a black woman to the cast, but why did it take 12 seasons for them to do so? Seems like they’re saving face because of BLM and all of nenes yapping
This franchise is done, over. Period!!!
