NBCUniversal The cast of "The Real Housewives of New York City" season 14.
“Real Housewives of New York City” star Jenna Lyons weighed in on the feud between her castmates, Brynn Whitfield and Sai De Silva. In the October 15 episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” alongside Julia Fox, Lyons referenced that De Silva told Whitfield “f*** you” after she divulged that she told her details about Ubah Hassan’s private boyfriend in the RHONY season 14 finale. Hassan was also upset with Whitfield and exited her 36th birthday celebration early.
Andy Cohen asked the former president of J. Crew if she believed De Silva “breach[ed] [Hassan’s] trust by telling [Whitfield].”
“I think she did. And I think she fully admits that,” said Lyons.
Lyons also shared she understood why Hassan did not want to share information about her romantic partner.
“I truly honor and respect Ubah’s desire to keep her life private as I have wanted to as well. Because that’s not about her. That’s about someone else. And to me, the privacy — it’s one thing, I can do whatever I want. I’m on the show. I’ve made that decision but the person who’s dating Ubah did not. And I think that she’s allowed to keep that private,” explained the fashion designer.
During the “Watch What Happens Live” episode, Cohen inquired how Fox felt about De Silva’s reaction toward Whitfield in RHONY season 14, episode 16.
“What did you make of Sai getting so upset with Brynn for saying something about Ubah’s Mr. Connecticut when she was the one who shared the tea in the first place?” asked the Bravo producer.
The “Down the Drain” author replied she believes De Silva was projecting as she felt guilty about divulging information about Hassan’s romance.
