REAL Housewives Of New York star Eboni K Williams was slammed for storming the stage to heckle comedian Sam Bloomstone during his set.
In an exclusive interview with The Celeb Report, the standup comic revealed the Bravolebrity should’ve been “removed by security” at the Broadway Comedy Club show in NYC hosted by fellow star Chanel Omari.
The Chanel In The City podcast host had not only Eboni, 38, in attendance but also RHOC alum Braunwyn Windham-Burke at the All Star Comedy Show on Wednesday night in honor of City Harvest.
A slew of talented comedians took the stage and near the end of the evening, Sam Bloomstone was one of the final performers.
In a video from the set, Eboni’s table, which also included Braunwyn and her girlfriend, Victoria Brito, can be heard heckling Sam throughout all of his jokes.
The night then took a turn when Sam pointed at Eboni and said her ensemble of a black sweater, pants and leather boots looked like it was from the “JCPenney collection.”
Eboni appeared offended by the light-hearted remark as she stormed the stage and grabbed the mic out of the comic’s hand.
“I put my life savings on that whatever you are going to say is nothing funny,” Sam told Eboni – though she persisted to talk.
“It’s not about being funny, b***h. What it’s about is you respecting a motherf**king Black queen,” the Real Housewives Of New York star fired back.
She continued: “What we don’t do is JCPenney b***h, OK? A b***h like me, you gotta respect, bro – on your worst day.”
The reality star then slapped his backside and walked off the stage with a mixed reaction from the audience.
Appearing to not know where to go from there, Sam ended his set with the joke “thanks guys for coming, I’m Dave Chappelle” and exited the stage.
In an exclusive interview with The Celeb Report, Sam explained that during his set, Eboni and her table “would not stop heckling him” despite it “not being the forum” to do so.
He explained: “I got through half the joke and that’s when Eboni got on stage. So I was like ‘listen JC Penney collection,’ that was apparently the meanest and most offensive thing I could say to someone.
“So she had to come on stage and defend her honor. And that doesn’t really happen in comedy clubs, if so security would be there in two seconds.”
He added: “She just wouldn’t stop talking. And I didn’t know who this was, I didn’t know at the time it was Eboni, I didn’t connect the dots until after I got off stage.”
HECKLING HOUSEWIFE
When asked about appearing frustrated on stage over the interaction, Sam said: “I mean they kept interrupting the show.
“It was fine after but I wasn’t super pumped when it happened, obviously. I assumed security was going to come in the next five seconds but they never came.
“She grabbed the mic, what am I supposed to do? Security should have stepped in.”
However, he had a sense of humor over the situation, saying: “In hindsight, it’s funny though and it was fine.
“We went out to dinner afterwards and it was all in good fun. It’s all positive in the grand scheme of things. They were very nice but if it was a non-Housewife, I definitely would’ve said something.”
When Sam was asked if he thinks Eboni owes him an apology, he said: “That’s for the jury to decide. And judging from Twitter, it’s looking like yes.”
After a clip of Eboni rushing the stage circulated online, fans bashed her for the “embarrassing” move.
‘EMBARRASSING TO WATCH’
One person tweeted: “Ughhhhhh. Eboni that was cringey. Whyyy? Who gets on stage with the comedian?!”
Another said: “Eboni has such a bad case of main character syndrome it physically hurts to watch.”
A third agreed: “Well I’ve been saying Eboni did not ruin the season but she definitely ruined this guys stand up routine.”
While one more insisted: “I’m sorry this is awful, she should have been thrown out for this behavior. This man is at work. Yes he’s talking to them but to come up on stage…she’s feeling herself too much.”
Despite the backlash, Eboni doubled down on her behavior in a series of tweets, including one which read: “It was a fun night ya’ll! Relax…
“The comedian joined us all for dinner and more drinks later. And yes, I was drinking before I took the mic. Sorry I’m not perfect and had a little fun.”
She also admitted while she was not apologizing for what she said on stage, she did regret slapping Sam on what appeared to be the butt.
BRAVO BASH
But Sam holds no hard feelings over gesture, saying: “It was harmless and I don’t think Eboni meant to do that.
“Obviously if the roles were reverse that would be unacceptable. Guys should not do that but neither should women. But it’s not the biggest deal.”
Other than Sam and Chanel – who has also written and opened for fellow RHONY star Luann De Lesseps – other comedians who performed at the sold-out show included Mark Normand, Aaron Berg, Mae Planert, Santiago Angel, Nikki Mcmullan, Gibrani Saleem.
Earlier in the evening, Eboni and Braunwyn went on stage, along with RHONY alum Barbara Kavovit, to sing “Happy Birthday” to their pal, Chanel, before the group headed to a Greek dinner.
