The Real Housewives of New York is on an indefinite “pause.” And no one is necessarily asking for another season, given the prior ratings.
It could be assumed that the cast was out of a job until producers decided to start filming again. But on June 9, Brynn Whitfield made an announcement that she was quitting RHONY.
Now, an insider is coming to Brynn’s defense after backlash, and speaking to her authenticity.
“Regardless of how the show attempted to portray Brynn, she was one of the sweetest people I ever worked with,” a source told Ok! Magazine. “She was kind and gracious and completely real.”
The insider claimed Brynn “never” came off as “fake.” It’s a statement to contradict what her co-stars said about her transparency while filming. Although, the source suggested the real issue is with editing. The show supposedly “has a way of mischaracterizing people.”
“I never got the impression she wasn’t being completely sincere with me,” they stated.
The source continued, “I can safely say from personally knowing her, she was definitely not the person they attempted to make her out to be. That being said, she certainly wasn’t above the fray in terms of stirring the pot. She liked to do that and knew it came with being on Housewives — and, frankly, she was good at it. Regardless, she will have a bright future without the show.”
The marketing and communications consultant shared her parting statement earlier this month. She called her time on RHONY the “most fun, chaotic, and magical chapters of my life.”
“After a lot of thought, I’ve made the decision to walk away from reality TV. For now,” Brynn wrote on Instagram. “Last week, Hoppy — the dating app I co-founded and proudly serve as Chief Marketing Officer — hit a massive download milestone. I can’t even put into words how surreal it feels. All I want to do now is pour every ounce of energy into building Hoppy into the #1 dating app in the world.”
The RHONY alum continued, “It was the honor of a lifetime to help reboot such an iconic franchise. From day one, I’ve believed RHONY is a fan’s show — we’re just temporary custodians of something that truly belongs to the viewers. I hope I made you laugh (a lot), cry (a little), and more than anything — I hope there’s a TV in heaven so that Mimi (who LIVED for her shows) could watch me and be proud. To every person who gave me a chance, cheered me on, and afforded me love and grace – thank you.”
Catch The Real Housewives of New York streaming on Peacock. The show streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
