Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York season 15 has delivered drama as the cast navigates friendships and conflicts. This season features Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank, Brynn Whitfield, and newcomer Racquel Chevremont. The confrontations in New York and ongoing feuds in Puerto Rico have been central to the storyline.
However, viewers expecting episode 13 of The Real Housewives of New York on December 24, 2024, were disappointed as the show did not air. The series is taking a break due to the holiday season, with no new episodes scheduled for December 24 or next Tuesday, December 31, 2024.
For fans wondering when The Real Housewives of New York will return, new episodes are set to air on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, at 9/8c on Bravo.
Why didn't The Real Housewives of New York season 15 episode air on December 24?
The holiday season, which many networks use to adapt to changing audience preferences during this time, is the reason for the airing pause. Bravo has put the series on hold for two weeks to prevent viewers from missing important events when many are preoccupied with holiday celebrations.
The voyage to Puerto Rico, where emotions are already high, is anticipated to continue in the upcoming episode. Major conflicts are hinted at in the preview, such as Ubah Hassan accusing Brynn Whitfield of having questionable reasons for appearing on the show. Jessel Taank and Erin Lichy are also expected to argue after a contentious dinner conversation.
Highlights from The Real Housewives of New York season 15, episode 12
The last episode, titled A Tantrum and a Truce, aired on December 17, 2024, and focused heavily on the group’s ongoing Puerto Rico trip. The hour was packed with emotional confrontations, reunions, and a few unexpected moments.
Brynn and Rebecca's heated confrontation
The episode began with Brynn Whitfield and Rebecca Minkoff continuing their tense feud. The argument stemmed from Rebecca’s previous comment,
“You’ll understand when you have children,”
Brynn found this patronizing due to her personal struggles with starting a family. Rebecca, however, held her ground, accusing Brynn of being dismissive and rude since they first met. While their issues remained unresolved during dinner, they eventually apologized to each other and ended the night on a positive note.
Racquel’s emotional reunion with her mother
Racquel Chevremont’s storyline took center stage in this episode as she reunited with her mother, Marian, after six years. The moment came during Marian’s visit to Puerto Rico with her boyfriend, Santiago.
Racquel shared her struggles with her mother’s absence and hopes of rebuilding their relationship. The episode highlighted the conversation between the two, where they made plans to reconnect further.
Erin’s unexpected overshare
One of the humorous moments of the episode came during a shopping trip in Old San Juan. Erin Lichy shocked her castmates by showing them an explicit photo of her husband, Abe.
While Jenna Lyons and Brynn Whitfield found the situation amusing, other cast members, like Sai De Silva and Ubah Hassan, reacted with discomfort. This moment sparked a larger conversation about boundaries and privacy, leaving the group divided on Erin’s actions.
The ongoing Puerto Rico trip in The Real Housewives of New York has tested the group’s dynamics. Room assignments, pranks, and personal grievances have caused tension among the women. Erin and Ubah’s unresolved issues from the season 14 finale were reignited, while playful moments, like Brynn’s games, continued to stir the pot.
For those looking to catch up on the series, seasons 1–14 of The Real Housewives of New York are available for streaming on Peacock.
