Leah McSweeney Wants Real Housewives of New York Reunion to Tackle Off-Screen Fracture Among Cast
Season 13 of Bravo's hit franchise is in the middle of a press war over cast hirings and firings
EntertainmentVideoVideoJust like us, Leah McSweeney is trying to keep up with the Real Housewives of New York drama that’s unfolding off-screen. “I don’t have Google alerts on,” she tells Jezebel. “Of course, I keep up with what people are saying and everything, but I do feel kind of removed from it and I have to do that for my sanity.”
The series is in the middle of a press war between insiders, outsiders—and God knows who else—over next season’s cast and this season’s ratings. Then there’s this incredibly detailed deuxmoi tip that, to my mind, sounds a lot like it could have been written by Eboni K. Williams, Miss Carey, or her long, lost sister—it’s the “prestigious outlet” that helped Bravo “bask in her star power,” but I digress.
With the reunion allegedly filming soon, the streetwear and sleepwear designer says the spillover drama has got to be addressed. “Basically, the reunion needs to address not what happened during the season when we were filming— we had a great finish. We need to address everything that’s happened since then,” she says.
