Good morning Upper East Siders, or should I say city people? Or even worse, pigeons?? The season 15 RHONY trailer is graciously upon us, making it easier to stomach the sad truth that there are still quite a few months until the show premieres on October 1 at 9 p.m. EST/PST. The following three minutes and one second of Bravo bliss are pretty much the only things that matter today if you ask me. As a refresher, reboot legends Jenna Lyons, Sai de Silva, Brynn Whitfield, Erin Lichy, Jessel Taank, and Ubah Hassan are all back in action along with newcomers Racquel Chevremont and Rebecca Minkoff (as a friend of the show).
Let’s dive in and break down the best moments from the RHONY season 15 extended trailer.
From the looks of it, the ladies start off the season trying to play nice by “moving on!” figuratively and literally (thank God Jenna didn’t break those glasses I’m sure cost the same as my rent playing dodgeball). It makes sense Jenna and Racquel are bonding over their mutual dismissal of men as a whole. Meanwhile, Sai (whose new therapy-led coping mechanism is saying “fuck off”) and Brynn make efforts to get their friendship back on track after the end-of-season trainwreck that came from Brynn spilling the beans about Ubah’s Mr. Connecticut (beans she only had to spill because Sai told her in the first place, to be fair). But then (finally!!!), the drama arrives: Erin and Abe are looking tense over unnamed lies, Jessel and Pavit are bickering over whether to have the next Elon Musk or Beyoncé (the classic Housewives “my husband doesn’t want a baby” storyline) and Rebecca Minkoff is shutting down the Scientology conversation (she’s previously stated she is a scientologist).

The real tea comes when a secret pregnancy rocks the group, demonstrated by some melodramatic slow-mo cutaways that I hope make the final edit. What I’m less thrilled about is this bizarre pigeon references they harp on. Everyone who’s ever lived in New York for like a day understands the pigeon situation. Why it’s a thing now is unclear, but I guess we’ll find out at Ubah’s pigeon-themed dinner. The insult seems to apply to all of the group, but especially Brynn, who Ubah is feuding with again. Brynn did warn us she’s the only girl in the group willing to go toe to toe with Ubah, which she proves here with already iconic zingers “You’re not Naomi, you’re not Gisele” and “You’re delusional! You model for Dressbarn.” Was that warranted shade? If October would hurry up and come already, we’d find out!
