What happened on The Real Housewives of New York City season 15 episode 5?
On The Real Housewives of New York City, Season 15, episode 5, Racquel goes to Ubah's place, where Ubah shares her love for art. Reflecting on her journey of becoming a model and moving to America, Ubah expresses gratitude that she has the freedom to follow her dream. Soon, their conversation topic changes, and Ubah opens up about her clash with Brynn.
The Real Housewives of New York City cast member shared that Brynn told her off-camera to be careful, or she would be edited as an “angry black woman.” This statement confused Racquel, who thought Brynn was the one to trigger Ubah and that her behavior felt "manipulative." During her confessional interview, she said:
"I don’t know what Brynn is thinking. You’re the one who triggered her into behaving in a way where she could be painted as an angry black woman. It all feels very manipulative to me.”
Later on in The Real Housewives of New York City Season 15, episode 5, Erin shared that she didn't feel "close of a friend" to Jenna anymore. Erin explained that she had always been by her fellow cast mate's side and took a stand for her even when the rest of the friend group wasn't on good terms with Jenna. The two tried to talk things out. During her confessional interview, Erin implied to the cameras that she didn't want to stir up drama "especially at a birthday party."
