Real Housewives of New York Season 15, Episode 15 is finally here. The episode marks the finale of the season, and it was explosive. There has been tension between Ubah and Brynn throughout, but it came to a head in tonight’s episode and honestly, I don’t know if they will ever recover from this. If you missed the drama, don’t worry, we have you covered.
Here is everything that went down during RHONY Season 15, Episode 15…
What happened on Real Housewives of New York Season 15, Episode 15?
The Season 15 finale was more dramatic than I could have imagined. Brynn and Ubah’s season-long feud finally exploded and the women were forced to choose a side. Brynn made a comment that hurt Ubah so deeply that I am unsure if they will ever be friends again. The drama was plentiful but it was so sad that it wasn’t even enjoyable. I hope these women can find a way to move forward peacefully at the reunion.
Jessel and Sai clear the air
Tonight’s episode began with Erin, Jessel, and Sai clearing the air. Last week, Erin downplayed her involvement in the conversation about Jessel’s marriage and excessive use of glam services, telling Jessel she was more of a “listener” than an active participant. Sure, Erin. Whatever you need to tell yourself girl. Sai throws shade at Erin in a confessional, stating, “Erin likes to leave out the piece of the puzzle she’s involved in because if she puts that piece of puzzle into the story then she’s guilty.” Oop. It’s true, Erin does have a pattern of deflecting blame.
Erin is upset that Jessel told Sai about their conversation, calling her “a little creep” for doing so. Poor Jessel. She was trying to figure out who was trash-talking her outside, which is perfectly understandable. Erin says her main point in her conversation with Jessel was that Pavit should apologize to Sai for calling her a b*tch and bipolar. Sai gets emotional thinking about Pavit’s comments because she dealt with a bipolar person her whole life (her mom). Jessel says Sai’s feelings are completely valid and they hug it out. In a confessional, Sai says she’s in a good place with Jessel but is still wary of Pavit, which is fair given their history.
Brynn and Ubah throw jabs at each other during the RHONY Season 15 finale
After Jessel and Sai make peace, the girls (minus Ubah and Brynn) grab drinks and join Jenna and Racquel in the bedroom. Racquel asks how Brynn and Ubah are doing after the whole “maybe you slept with a man to get this job” fiasco. Erin says she loves Ubah but she has to stop calling Brynn a whore. The women agree that Ubah’s comments at dinner were too far.
Ubah enters the room while the women are gossiping about behavior at dinner. To Sai’s credit, she addresses the situation head-on, telling Ubah, “You can’t keep calling her a whore, baby.” Lol. What a sentence! Ubah gets defensive and denies calling Brynn a whore. Brynn enters the room and, of course, the situation escalates extremely quickly. Ubah clarifies that she said Brynn MAYBE slept with someone for the job with the key word being MAYBE. Girl, that doesn’t make it better.
Her comment activates Brynn who begins negging Ubah, trying to get her to say other mean comments. Ubah retaliates by calling Brynn a “narcissistic b*tch.” Yikes. The women start throwing mean-spirited jabs at each other. Ubah says Brynn doesn’t have a job and Brynn makes fun of Ubah for modeling for dress barn. The other women are silent except for Sai who chimes in to say “that’s not nice” as she sips on a glass of white wine. Iconic behavior. The fight ends with Ubah storming out of the room and Brynn calling her a “six foot toddler.”
Brynn drops a bombshell about Ubah in RHONY Season 15, Episode 15
Brynn breaks down after Ubah leaves the room. She questions why it is so hard to believe she could be successful without the help of men. The women comfort her and agree that Ubah’s comments were not fair. Brynn continues to tearfully explain why Ubah’s words affected her so much, revealing that she is in a support group for sexual assault. Brynn opened up about her sexual assault to the viewers in a previous episode but the women had no clue about any of it. Brynn reveals that she told Ubah about the sexual assault and the women are horrified that Ubah would make such insensitive comments knowing what Brynn went through.
The cameras go dark on the season finale of Real Housewives of New York
The women have broken the fourth wall quite a bit this season, but tonight’s episode took it to a whole other level. The madness began when the girls were about to go to bed. Jessel, still reeling from Brynn’s shocking confession, went to Ubah’s room to try to get some clarity. She asked her friend why she would attack Brynn given what she knows about her past assault. The cameras are not rolling during this conversation, so the women have to piece together what happened through their confessionals. Racquel says she heard Ubah screaming in the other room but wasn’t sure why. According to Jenna and Racquel, Ubah entered their room and wanted to know if they believed what Brynn said. Ubah sworn she had no prior knowledge of the assault, allegedly telling Racquel, “May Allah strike me down and kill my first born if i did this.”
Ubah’s reaction makes the women start to doubt that she had any knowledge of the sexual assault. The cameras resume filming and we see Erin, Racquel, and Jenna confront Brynn in the hallway. They tell her Ubah said she has no memory of Brynn telling her about the sexual assault. Brynn recalls a conversation she had with Ubah right before Bravocon where she briefly mentioned the assault among a few other things. She admits it’s possible Ubah did not clock the comment. Damn. That is a huge accusation to throw out there if you don’t know it’s true. This isn’t looking good for Brynn.
Brynn and Ubah go their separate ways
Ubah leaves her room and joins the women in the hallway where she starts yelling at Brynn for making up a lie about her. She calls her “a lying b*tch” and a “psycho.” The night is becoming very intense and it’s a bit uncomfortable to watch. At this point, producers are forced to intervene and separate Ubah and Brynn.
Ubah and Jessel leave the Villa and go to a hotel for the night. The cameras cut once again, forcing the viewers to rely on the cast to recount what happened next. The women say that after Ubah and Jessel leave, Brynn admitted that Ubah may not have known about the assault. The women are shocked that Brynn would make such a careless accusation without knowing definitively if Ubah knew or not. In confessionals, the women state that they absolutely believe Brynn was assaulted, but they don’t believe Ubah had knowledge of the assault.
The next morning, Brynn decides to leave the vacation early and avoid further communication with Ubah. Jessel and Ubah return to the Villa where the women assure her they believe she did not know about the assault. She seems extremely hurt by Brynn’s comments but is grateful that the women are on her side.
The episode ends with the women at a promotional photoshoot for the season back in New York. Brynn and Ubah completely ignore each other at this event and it is beyond awkward. I am unsure if this group of women will be able to come together for another season. We’ll have to see what happens at the reunion.
Real Housewives of New York airs on Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
