How do you like them apples? Lizzy Savetsky, Jessel Taank, Ubah Hassan, Jenna Lyons, Erin Dana Lichy, Brynn Whitfield, and Sai De Silva were introduced at BravoCon as the new Real Housewives of New York. Andy Cohen marched the new girlies onto the stage, holding up their signature apples. The RHONY reboot (REBHONY?) was announced in March, alongside a Legacy spin-off. The Legacy series will focus on people who are already in the Housewives canon, so to speak, whereas Cohen said that the new RHONY would be more representative of the city’s diversity. “It’s all over the city, and it’s aspirational,†Cohen said Friday, per “Page Six.†“I think it’s legit. We’re definitely expanding beyond the the Upper East Side with these women.â€
