Eboni K. Williams was caught outside recently on camera and asked what she thinks about the lack of a reunion the Real Housewives of New York Season 13 was receiving. It’s safe to say she wasn’t happy about it. And why should she when the season nearly exclusively evolved around her fitting into the cast as the first black cast member who tried to have conversations about race with women that often were either flippant or simply annoyed with the discussion.
This adds to her recently saying in a Washington Post article that reality tv is built on the blacks of black women. “I think that reality TV owes everything to Black women. I think it’s built on the backs of Black women,” she said. “And I think that Black women actually have so much to gain from the medium, if used properly.”
“…there is nothing like the impact of reality television. I think we all thought it was gonna be a ‘hit and quit it’ thing, like, maybe 15 years ago. We’re on 13 seasons of ‘New York,’ 15 seasons, 16 seasons of ‘Orange County.’ It’s not going anywhere. So if you can’t beat ‘em, maybe it’s time to join ‘em.”
And as for what’s left of Seasono 13, Williams said they have loose ends to tie up and she looks forward to doing so during the next season. So we look forward to seeing her as well. What would really be messed up would be cutting her without getting a chance to finish her storyline.
