Romona Singer has reportedly been cut from the 2023 BravoCon lineup just days ahead of the annual event. The move comes in the wake of news that the former Real Housewives of New York City star has allegedly used a racial slur multiple times.
On Tuesday, Oct. 31, sources confirmed to Page Six that Singer—who was slated to attend the three-day event in Las Vegas starting on Nov. 3—will not be attending BravoCon after all. Her name has also been removed from the festival's app.
Singer's axing comes after an Oct. 30 Vanity Fair article brought to light a Nov. 6, 2020, incident during which Singer reportedly used the N-word. Allegedly, she used the slur while speaking with a senior producer, Darian Edmondson (who is Black), during the production of RHONY Season 13.
Edmondson told Vanity Fair that Singer was comparing an interaction with co-star Eboni Williams to when Jewish colleagues used a "Catholic slur" by calling her a "shiksa" (a Yiddish term for a woman who isn't Jewish).
"Ramona, I have no idea what you’re talking about," Edmondson reportedly replied.
To that, Singer allegedly said, "Oh, it’s literally like somebody calling you a n-----.”
Singer reportedly clarified her choice of words in a recent text to Page Six, with the publication sharing a screenshot of the alleged message: “And the word I used was ‘NWord’ Not n-g…” Hours after allegedly sending the message including the partial slur, her name had disappeared from the con's lineup, according to the publication.
Furthermore, Williams told Vanity Fair that Singer reportedly said "most" Black people don't have present fathers during a training call with racial justice representatives and other NBCUniversal employees.
“’What if they don’t have a father? Why can’t I say that?’” Singer reportedly said, according to Williams. “’Most of them don’t.’”
Singer starred on all 13 seasons of RHONY before the series rebooted with a new cast.
