Lizzy Savetsky

A dumpster fire is the right description for the reboot of RHONY now. If Bravo wanted a fresh start free of toxicity, they’ve failed miserably.

Lizzy Savetsky, one of the most central housewives in the reboot of RHONY, left the show after a racial argument with Brynn Whitfield.

I say “one of the most central housewives” because she was tested for RHOD before she was cast for RHONY. 

This is a woman Bravo wanted on a show!

But this is not the first disaster for RHONY.

Earlier this year Bravo and Cocktails posted a rumour about the test filming being a disaster and that 3 housewives had quit!

I didn’t expect any news about the reboot of RHONY at Bravocon, but they shocked me by announcing the new cast of RHONY.

With the amount of disasters I’ve read about in the rumour mill, it was hard to believe we would ever see these women as housewives.

But I guess that Bravo wants us to believe that this is happening. Were you excited about the announcement of the cast of RHONY?

The women were Lizzy, Brynn, Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Dana Lichy, Jenna Lyons and Jessel Taank. But Lizzy has now quit the show.

I didn’t write about the announcement because I don’t believe in this project. I doubt Bravo themselves believes in this project.

Bravo should go through with the show but call it something else and remove it from RHONY altogether.

Bring RHONY Legacy back from Peacock! But that remains to be seen as they announced the cast at Bravocon as housewives.

And the struggle with this reboot makes me worry about the future of Real Housewives.

Will shows be cancelled when the OGs gets to a certain age instead of trying to establish new “producer pets”?

Because it doesn’t look like this franchise is going to survive a generational change.

Their attempt at more diversity is a failure.

Bringing in younger housewives has kind of flopped, with for instance Noella Bergener, Leah McSweeney or Crystal Kung Minkoff.

The RHONY reboot seems to be dead on arrival. After reports of nightmare casting, now a housewife has dropped out of the production!

According to Page Six there was a heated moment between Elizabeth “Lizzy” Savetsky and Brynn Whitfield during filming that led to Lizzy quitting the show.

Lizzy is a matchmaker and when Brynn asked her to set her up with a Jewish man, she answered that she only set up Jewish couples.

Brynn had allegedly been offended by Lizzy’s comment and basically referred to her like a Nazi!

When I read this story, my mind immediately went to the feud between Margaret Josephs and Siggy Flicker on RHONJ! And that didn’t end well…

When Lizzy and Brynn were done filming, they had a phone call where they talked about racial slurs.

But instead of calming the situation, their phone call only created more turmoil. It only increased more fuel to the fire.

Brynn had allegedly used the N-word and Lizzy was afraid that she would insinuate to the other women that Lizzy had used the N-word too, for some reason.

And her husband had allegedly used the N-word to a producer while discussing the situation too. So… yeah, it doesn’t look good.

It seems like her hand was more or less forced to remove herself from RHONY though.

Lizzy posted a statement on Instagram, saying this:

“Unfortunately, from the time of my announcement in the cast, I was on the receiving end of a torrent of antisemitic attacks. As this continued, I realized that this path was no longer right for me and my family.”

Is it an excuse that she’s blaming antisemitic attacks as a reason for leaving? Was she forced to leave by the producers?

Lizzy was first tested for RHOD as she’s originally from Texas and I think she was the first housewife Bravo wanted for the reboot of RHONY.

It must be a huge failure for Bravo that she’s now leaving the production.
