Season 15 of The Real Housewives of New York City released episode 10 on December 3, 2024. Titled Strictly Ballroom Affair, the episode was named after Raquel and Mel's ballroom-themed engagement. It also saw Jenna organizing a sale of clothing she collected over the years.

The Real Housewives of New York City episode 10 also saw Brynn talking to her ghostwriter, Hanna Lustig, and the things she wrote about Brynn's life. Hanna said that the assault was the most difficult part of Brynn's story.

The scene then flashed back to Brynn talking about how difficult it was to return her grandma's calls when she went through the assault because she couldn't explain it to her.

She also teared up in a confessional talking about the impact it had on her life. She told Hanna that her writing about her life had been therapeutic and that she saw herself coming back.

Fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills came to X to react to this episode of Brynn and praised her for being courageous enough to share it.

"I feel so sorry for Brynn. I can’t imagine what she went through. I’m so proud of her for sharing this story about her assault. It’s clear she’s still shaken up over it. My heart really goes out to her," said one fan.

"Jenna looked so good in her look. And I see why Brynn hides behind her humor. She has a lot of pain she is covering up," said another fan.

"So over Brynn and her self-absorbed privilege. Would never read her book. I am not insensitive to her “me too” experience but having one myself, I think she is exploiting it for a storyline," a third one added.

"Her sit down with her brother was bittersweet because she’s sharing something so personal, but you could just tell how much they love & support each other," another wrote.

Some fans of The Real Housewives of New York City acknowledged that such things are hard to share.

"Not easy to do, and explains a lot of her struggles with dating," an X user wrote.

"Brynn shared something that I personally know is SO HARD to share," another X user wrote.

"Big love to you, Brynn. I stand with you as a survivor of SA. You’ve totally got this, ma’am," commented one.

"I feel so sorry for Brynn. I can’t imagine what she went through. I’m so proud of her for sharing this story about her assault. It’s clear she’s still shaken up over it. My heart really goes out to her," another wrote.
