The “Actual Housewives of New York Metropolis” reboot could have introduced a recent solid to the display screen, however in line with OG star Luann de Lesseps, that’s precisely the place Bravo went mistaken. In a latest interview with Parade, de Lesseps shared her candid ideas on the revamped collection, the franchise’s previous, and the opportunity of her return.
“I feel that they need to mix the solid,” de Lesseps recommended, providing what she believes to be a easy repair to the reboot’s struggles. Whereas followers had been curious when Bravo launched an all-new, youthful lineup, the choice didn’t sit effectively with the longtime RHONY viewers — a fanbase deeply linked to the unique girls who helped form the franchise.
“I imply, I feel the primary downside was that that they had an all-new solid and so they didn’t preserve the OGs,” de Lesseps defined. “I feel that was an enormous downside, and I’m positive they realized that was in all probability not the very best. However it’s what it’s. It occurred, so let’s see what they’re gonna do shifting ahead. Watch what occurs! You gotta watch what occurs!”
RHONY initially premiered in 2008 and ran for 13 seasons earlier than it went on hiatus in 2021. De Lesseps doesn’t mince phrases when reflecting on the legacy of the unique present, calling it nothing wanting “epic.”
“It’s like Intercourse and the Metropolis, proper? These days — you seize them and, thank God, they’re captured on movie, proper? As a result of I can’t get these again. It’s that sort of factor,” she reminisced.
Talks of a doable return or reboot involving the unique solid have swirled for some time, and although Luann doesn’t verify something, she’s not ruling it out both. “I imply, pay attention: know, they talked about [bringing it back],” she stated, although she admits she’s uncertain the place Bravo — or her former co-stars — at present stand on the matter.
With most of the authentic Housewives now residing in Florida — together with Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan (who “lastly bought that townhouse, thank God”), and Jill Zarin — any reunion would include logistical challenges. Nonetheless, Luann stays near the New York scene together with Kelly Killoren Bensimon and Dorinda Medley.
So, what’s subsequent? Luann leaves the door cracked open: “We’ll see what they cook dinner up. I by no means say by no means. I say possibly.”
