RHONY - Season 15 - Episode 1: Apple of My Lie

Season 15 of The Real Housewives of New York City begins with a bang as the women return with new energy, fresh homes, and plenty of drama. From navigating new relationships and apartment moves to reigniting old tensions, this season promises more laughter, tears, and, of course, iconic moments. As the Housewives gather for Brynn’s cocktail party, the tensions simmer, setting the stage for a season full of twists and emotional highs. Episode 1 is just the beginning, and if the drama at the party is any indication, it’s going to be an unforgettable season.

The season premiere of RHONY Season 15 kicks off with a mix of familiar situations and fresh drama as the Housewives give us a glimpse into their new lives. Both returning and new cast members bring their own flair, and potential conflicts start to simmer.

Brynn shows off her new apartment

The episode opens with Brynn proudly introducing her new apartment in Gramercy Park. “I needed a bigger space because I’m expanding my family,” she says with a bit of humor as she introduces her new puppy, Sugar. Moving in New York City is, in her words, “actual hell,” as she deals with grumpy movers. She jokes, “It’s just a bunch of moving men sweating and hating you.”

Jessel and Pavit’s subway adventure

Meanwhile, Jessel hasn’t changed much since last season, but this time, she and her husband Pavit take a new step: riding the subway. “I spent nearly $1,000 on Uber last month,” Jessel reveals, and Pavit is understandably shocked. However, Pavit continues to indulge his new career as a food influencer, showing a particular obsession with bao buns in Chinatown. The couple shares a light-hearted lunch, and Jessel humorously reflects on how her husband went from being a banker to a food fanatic.

Jenna Lyons and her designer wardrobe

Next, we catch up with Jenna Lyons, the fashion icon, as she declutters her designer shoe collection with the help of her girlfriend’s mother. Despite publicly stating she wouldn’t involve her girlfriend on the show, viewers are left questioning Jenna’s boundaries as she interacts with her partner’s family on camera.

Group gathering at Brynn’s cocktail party

The episode reaches its climax as the Housewives gather at Brynn’s cocktail party. Here, tensions between Erin and Brynn come to the surface. Erin is upset that Brynn has been telling others that she called Jenna “poor” after a mishap with an Uber in the Hamptons. Erin denies the accusation, stating, “I don’t talk about people like that. Jenna’s got a $10 million loft and a $5 million beach house!” But Brynn stands by her claim, insisting Erin made the remark, which strains their friendship further.

The argument continues to revolve around miscommunication and gossip within the group, as stories are distorted and tempers flare. Despite the drama, there are still moments of lightheartedness as the Housewives joke about dressing up as men and other humorous situations.
