REAL Housewives of New York City fans accused Luann de Lesseps of acting “racist” for calling Eboni Williams an “angry woman” during their argument on last night’s episode.
Ramona Singer was also slammed for her behavior towards the new housewife as they dined in the Hamptons.
During last night’s episode of RHONY, an argument started among the housewives as Ramona slammed Leah McSweeney for talking explicitly about sex and then calling out the veteran housewife for being a hypocrite.
Leah claimed that the night before, Ramona had flashed her in the bathroom but now was acting superior than her.
As Leah reached her boiling point, she stood up from the table and pointed. finger at Ramona, Sonja Morgan, and Luann saying: “You’re a h*, you’re a h*, and you’re a h*!”
Following her outburst, the housewives went on with their meal and new girl Eboni tried to explain why Leah had gotten angry.
However, things got extremely heated when Eboni claimed she was the most educated woman at the table, bringing up her law degree.
The Countess then picked a bone with her saying she was not more educated than her, saying to the camera: “She’s trying to make us feel like idiots!”
As the two women bickered, they both raised their voices.
Luann told her: “You’re the one screaming now,” to which Eboni said she simply has a loud voice.
Ramona also hopped in the wagon and said: “You are, oh my god, my ears are hurting.”
Eboni quickly slammed her and said: “Your white fragility is killing me.”
Luann immediately stood up for her long-time friend and said: “Don’t go after her race, we don’t go after your race!”
As the the two women ganged up on her and Eboni showed her anger, Luann asked her: “Why are you getting so angry? Why are you yelling right now?”
Eboni simply smiled and said: “Oh so now I’m the angry Black woman.”
Luann continued to taunt her: “Why are you so angry? You’re an angry woman right now.”
Eboni then explained in a confessional why Luann’s comment about her being angry was problematic, saying: “Our friend, Leah mcSweeney, not five minutes ago, storms off in a mad dash and we don’t see her a** no more. And nobody called Leah angry.
“I simply take a visceral response to something that felt deeply personal and painful to me and I’m immediately called ‘angry.’ Tell me it’s not about race.”
Sonja then added during her confessional: “The girl doesn’t seem angry to me, she seems to be using her words.”
Luann proceeded to kick Eboni out of her Hamptons home and claimed she had offended them.
Following the episode, many fans took to social media to slam Luann’s behavior towards Eboni as she refused to see why her comment was racially-charged.
One fan wrote: “Luann and Ramona were gaslighting Eboni. Luann also exhibited very anti-black behavior, continuously referring to Eboni as angry’ and ‘loud’ even after Eboni pointed out the angry Black woman stereotype. Meanwhile, Ramona and Leah screamed and were the loudest no one said anything.”
Another fan addressed Bravo and Andy Cohen themselves and said: “You let the Countess slide with the Diane Ross blackface. I want some accountability for the angry Black woman comment.”
Back in 2018, Luann wore a Diana Ross costume for a Halloween party and she covered her face in bronzer.
A third fan claimed that “these white women cannot see how built in them their racism is.”
A fourth claimed: “First Luann does Black face and now she’s acting like Eboni is saying they are white is a hate crime about race when she was just trying to get her point across. […] Money really can’t buy you class.”
And a fifth one said: “This is an example of a microaggression. No, Luann didn’t say ‘You’re an angry Black woman’ but angry was the first word they thought of with Eboni yet Sonja was yelling like a damn wombat the night before and Leah just called them all hoes and angry was never used.”
The fifth fan was talking about the fight between Ramona and Sonja the night before when, after a couple of drinks, the J.P. Morgan heiress grew furious at Ramona suggesting Eboni use another bank.
The brief comment sent Sonja into a frenzy – as she turned to her pal and repeatedly yelled “shut the f**k up!”
Sonja then hits Ramona’s shoulder and pushes her down in her chair, once again screaming “shut the f**k up!”
Ramona stood up and exclaimed “stop it” but Sonja also got on her feet – and got in her costar’s face.
She is now red in the face and shouted: “You want to talk about Wells Fargo? it’s not my family! It’s not JP Morgan!”
“Stop drinking! What is wrong with you?” Ramona yelled back.
The housewives quickly hugged Sonja and made her feel better despite putting her hands on her best friend.
