Pixabay A RHONY star got sick on the red carpet.
One of the new stars of “The Real Housewives of New York” reboot had a terrible time at the premiere party held at the Rainbow Room in Manhattan on July 12, 2023.
According to Page Six, multiple sources saw Jessel Taank vomit on the red carpet as well as other places during the event.
“She did it right on the carpet,” one source shared. A source said that Taank later got sick in the sink of a bathroom.
“She looked very pale and wasn’t smiling or interacting with a lot of people,” the source shared, adding, “At one point, she sat at a table by herself to catch her breath for a bit, and people pretty much left her alone.”
One source close to Taank told the outlet that the reality star had been traveling and going on practically no sleep, which made her nauseated and thus caused her to fall ill. However, Taank says that she had a stomach bug.
“I wish I was drunk!!. Unfortunately just a stomach bug guys … nothing to see here,” she commented on Page Six’s Instagram post.
Heavy has reached out to a rep for Taank for additional comment.
