Who's who in the all-new 'RHONY' season 14 cast? Let's get to know the ladies
For the first time in 15 years, the 'RHONY' season 14 cast features an entirely new group of New York women
Bravo is making it nice with an all-new RHONY season 14 cast.
Last year we questioned if RHONY was cancelled, but then Andy Cohen reassured fans that the series wasn't going anywhere. In fact, he revealed that RHONY season 14 would switch things up with both a recast and a reboot. Our glass of Pinto Grigio runneth over.
"We're at a crossroads for RHONY," Andy Cohen told Variety in spring 2022. "We've spent a lot of time figuring out where to go. And the plan that we've come up with, I think, is a real gift to the fans."
He gave some insight into said gift during the network's annual BravoCon event on October 16, 2022, and now we have six new Bravolebrities who will bestow reality TV goodness upon us. Here's who's who.
Get to know the new 'RHONY' season 14 cast:
"There are thousands of stories to tell here [in New York]," Cohen further revealed to Variety. "This is the most multicultural, diverse, and energetic and exciting city in America: We are searching for a multicultural group of friends who really best reflect the most exciting city in the country."
For the new lineup, Bravo has revealed its most diverse New York Housewives cast to date. (Last year, Eboni K. Williams was the first Black cast member on the show.) Here's the season 14 group:
- Ubah Hassan
- Jenna Lyons
- Erin Lichy
- Sai De Silva
- Jessel Taank
- Brynn Whitfield

Arguably the most notable name on the newbie list, Jenna Lyons was the former president of J. Crew and the star of HBO Max's one-season reality series, Stylish with Jenna Lyons. The New Yorker and mother of one has taken on a new role as CEO of the beauty brand, LoveSeen
Sai De Silva
Sai de Silva is a born-and-raised New Yorker residing in Brooklyn with her husband and children—Alex McCord must be losing it right about now—and the founder of the lifestyle hub, Scout the City.

Though stylish like her co-stars, Whitfield is a brand marketing and communications professional with a focus on her love of interior design. The Midwesterner was raised by her grandmother and taught the importance of being strong and independent.
What happened to Lizzy Savetsky from 'RHONY'?
The Texas native found her way to the Empire State for college and decided to never leave. She and her husband Dr. Ira Savetsky share three children and she's focused on her online dating business for Jewish singles.
However, Lizzy Savtesky's heritage is what ultimately led her to exit the season before it even began filming. In an Instagram post, she revealed the abuse she was enduring online upon joining the crew.
"Unfortunately, from the time of my announcement in the cast, I was on the receiving end of a torrent of antisemitic attacks," she wrote. "As this continued, I realized that this path was no longer right for me and my family."

When is the 'RHONY' season 14 release date?
The new season debuted on Bravo on Sunday, July 16 at 9pm Eastern. (It's available to stream the next day on Peacock.)
In an "Ask Andy" segment before Watch What Happens Live, Cohen said of the season: "They’re super fashionable. The things that they are arguing about are as ridiculous as early RHONY. I think it’s going to be a different show. It’s so hard because everyone is going to compare it to RHONY, which was so perfect. And I hope this is perfect in a totally different way.”
Need a TV show recommendation? Maybe a few decor tips? Danielle, a digital news writer at Future, has you covered. Her work appears throughout the company’s lifestyle brands, including My Imperfect Life, Real Homes, and woman&home. Mainly, her time is spent at My Imperfect Life, where she’s attuned to the latest entertainment trends and dating advice for Gen Z.
Before her time at Future, Danielle was the editor of Time Out New York Kids, where she got to experience the best of the city from the point of view of its littlest residents. Before that, she was a news editor at Elite Daily. Her work has also appeared in Domino, Chowhound, and amNewYork, to name a few.
When Danielle’s not writing, you can find her testing out a new recipe, reading a book (suggestions always welcome), or rearranging the furniture in her apartment…again.
