Radziwill was asked to comment on two documentaries about women on “RHONY” who were in trouble with the law.

She refused and shaded the show for focusing on women misbehaving.

Radziwill said the show only showed women in a sexist, misogynistic, and negative light for their benefit.

According to her, Bravo exploited the behaviors of the women on set, no matter how gory it was.

“RHONY” had low ratings in its 13th season, and most fans blamed it on the newbie Eboni K. Williams for making it too political.

Radziwill claimed that the views were dropping because the show was going off its original plot.

Andy Cohen said that he changed Radziwill’s life.

Radziwill replied and said it wasn’t true; instead, the housewives changed his life.
