New York City, NY - Reality TV star Ramona Singer, known for her role on The Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY), has found herself in hot water yet again after a controversial New Year's Instagram post. The 67-year-old singer shared a photo of herself posing in front of a fireplace in Beaver Creek, Colorado, with a Native American portrait hanging above the mantle.

One particular comment on Singer's post caught the attention of fans and followers. Fellow RHONY cast member Luann de Lesseps, 58, expressed her disbelief, writing, "Have you no self-awareness😮". The comment quickly attracted a slew of replies, with followers divided in their opinions on the photo.

This controversy comes on the heels of Singer's recent N-word scandal, as exposed in an October 2022 Vanity Fair article regarding Bravo, the network behind RHONY. The article accused Singer of using the racial slur during a conversation with a Black crew member while filming for Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy, which premiered last month.

Screenshots of apparent messages also revealed that Singer used the N-word in a text exchange with a Page Six reporter when discussing the allegations against her. As a result of the scandal, Singer's name was removed from the BravoCon attendees list, and she did not appear at the three-day November 2023 convention in Las Vegas. However, her daughter, Avery, did make an appearance at the event.

Sources close to Singer revealed that she has been deeply upset by the entire situation and plans to lay low for now. It was reportedly a mutual decision between Singer and Bravo that she would not attend BravoCon, given the circumstances surrounding her controversy.

While Singer has been a controversial figure over the years, de Lesseps has also faced her fair share of criticism. Some fans pointed out de Lesseps' comment on Singer's post, recalling her own past controversy where she was accused of portraying blackface during the RHONY season 10 premiere in 2017. De Lesseps has denied any intentional harm and stated that her costume was intended as a tribute to Diana Ross.

As this latest controversy unfolds, it remains to be seen how Singer's actions will affect her standing within the RHONY franchise and her public image. Real Housewives fans are known for their passionate support of their favorite cast members, and such controversies often spark heated debates and divide opinions.

It is clear that Singer's use of offensive language and lack of self-awareness have not gone unnoticed, and the repercussions of her actions may continue to unfold in the coming weeks. As the new year begins, it is yet to be seen how Singer will address the backlash and move forward from this controversy.
