In addition to Chevremont, the cast for RHONY Season 15 includes the return of Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield. Meanwhile, Rebecca Minkoff joins the series as a friend.

In the trailer, Whitfield is seen having a go at Hassan over her modeling career. Whitfield also throws shade at “friend of” Minkoff over where her fashion line is being sold. Lyons expresses she has a crush on newbie Chevremont, who are both openly out.

One of the scenes that pops from the teaser is Lichy having a conversation with her husband where she says, “You have been lying to me, and it’s f***ed up.” Although it’s not clear who Lichy is referring to, the trailer cuts to a scene with her crying and saying, “And it’s rocking me, and I’m just not OK.”

Ahead of the premiere of RHONY Season 15 on Tuesday, October 1 at 9:00 pm ET, Bravo is hosting a fan experience at the Chelsea Factory in NYC on Friday, September 20.

The pop-up will feature a picturesque autumn apple orchard setting and offer attendees a taste of Bravo’s hit show through a larger-than-life photo experience inspired by the stylish cast.

The Real Housewives of New York City is produced by Shed Media.

It’s about to get real for Racquel Chevremont.

The 53-year-old Afro-Puerto Rican art curator and model has joined the cast of the Real Housewives of New York City for season 15.

Racquel Chevremont,Chevremont will be joining the previously announced cast of Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield as a main cast member.

Rebecca Minkoff, it has been previously reported, is also joining the cast in a friend role.

RHONY, which is currently in production, doesn’t yet have a premiere date.

Chevermont is the franchise’s second openly queer housewife, following Lyons, who joined the show last season when RHONY went through a cast reboot.

“My entire adult life has been about representation and using whatever platform I have to get the voices of queer folks of the diaspora out there,” Chevremont told GLAAD when making the announcement. “What better way to do so if not as a member of this iconic franchise.”

Chevremont began working as a model in the ’90s, appearing in ads for brands such as Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Fila, L’Oréal and Nivea.

As an art curator, the newly appointed housewife has worked on collections for film and TV projects including Severance, Empire and And Just Like That.

As for what her joining the cast means for representation, she told GLAAD: “In the current world climate it’s important for not only our community to see themselves represented, but also for the world to get to know a queer family in a more intimate way and show that we all have more similarities than not. That queer women can be successful, beautiful and in loving relationships raising children too. That this world exists.”

Following a tumultuous 13th season that was marred by allegations of racism among the cast after the longstanding franchise introduced its first Black cast member Eboni Williams, Bravo replaced the legacy cast with a new main cast in 2022 ahead of season 14. It was previously announced the rookie cast would be sticking around for season 15.
