The wait is almost over! An all new season of The Real Housewives of New York will be premiering on Tuesday, October 1st.
In an all new teaser released by Bravo, this season promises to entertain. With a brand new queer cast member, Racquel Chevremont joining the series, this season is extra exciting for LGBTQ fans.
Watch the trailer here:
After an already groundbreaking season with the inclusion of lesbian fashion designer and entrepreneur Jenna Lyons, fans are excited to meet Black queer model and art curator Racquel Chevremont as she joins the Real Housewives universe.
Lyons introduces Chevremont in the trailer and explains that when they met, “Racquel and I had both been seeing men.”
“We were married to men!” Chevremont reminds her.
“And how did you like that?” they are asked.
“Not enough!” they laugh.
Co-star Brynn Whitfield describes Chevremont as “the LeBron of the art world,” and jokes “Uh-oh, Jenna’s got competition!”
“Lesbian, lesbian!” they chant, playfully at the table.
As more clips from the upcoming season play, it is revealed that Jenna may have a crush! “What was that about you having a crush on who?” Ubah Hassan asks. To which Lyons replies, “We cannot deny that Racquel is hot.”
Fans will have to tune in on Bravo or Peacock to find out what happens next!
GLAAD exclusively announced Racquel Chevremont joining the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City back in June. In the exclusive interview with GLAAD, Chevremont said, “My entire adult life has been about representation and using whatever platform I have to get the voices of queer folks of the diaspora out there. What better way to do so if not as a member of this iconic franchise.”
She added that, “In the current world climate it’s important for not only our community to see themselves represented, but also for the world to get to know a queer family in a more intimate way and show that we all have more similarities than not. That queer women can be successful, beautiful and in loving relationships raising children too. That this world exists.” Read the full announcement here.
The Real Housewives of New York City season 15 premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
