Eboni K. Williams is speaking out to TMZ and she isn’t holding back at all.

The new Housewife insists that all her talk about racial issues on the Real Housewives of New York has NOTHING to do with the show’s recent ratings plummet. Currently, less than a million viewers are tuning in to watch the show live each week.

In fact, Eboni puts all the blame on RHONY producers. She notes that she shouldn’t be the scapegoat for the show’s declining ratings since she doesn’t have the final say on what makes it to air – producers do.

Eboni points out that RHONY has tackled numerous difficult topics over the past 13 years including mental health, alcoholism, bankruptcy, and divorce which is why she believes the discussion of race shouldn’t be any different.

Sources claim that the New York Housewives are sick of being schooled on racial matters. However, Eboni says that if her co-stars didn’t exhibit microaggressions she wouldn’t need to have race-related conversations with them.

She also says that producers are to blame for fans not getting the lighthearted, fun shenanigans and drama they are used to.

Some fans have accused Eboni of being “preachy” which the budding reality star owns completely.

“My answer is simply this. A — I’m a little bit of a preacher and I wear that as a badge of honor. And I’m a little bit of a teacher too,” she said on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

After talking with TMZ, Eboni sent a message to her fellow Housewives, saying, “…These deranged bigots are just mad AF that their days of dominance are coming to an end.”

The New York Housewives franchise is in MAJOR turmoil.

According to the DailyMail, the Real Housewives of New York franchise is in serious turmoil as its ratings are plummeting week by week.

As a result, Bravo has informed the cast members that filming for the season 13 reunion has been delayed from August 5 until at least September. They also told the cast that filming for season 14 wouldn’t begin until 2022.

An insider tells DailyMail.com, “All hell is breaking loose behind the scenes at the Real Housewives of New York. While the cameras are down, the drama is continuing.”

The insider continued: “The cast is completely divided, and the women are not getting along with each other. Filming ended with all of the women as friends, but as soon as the show started airing, Eboni K. Williams went to war against her castmates – particularly Ramona and Luann, and the audience is switching off week after week.”

Last week, RHONY had its lowest-rated episode of all time. The episode only earned 764,000 live viewers.

The source continued: “Our viewers don’t want to be lectured to. They want a fun show – tipsy, middle-aged women with money fighting about petty stuff. Yes – let’s talk about the important issues facing our nation – but this cannot be the center of our show. It’s not what our show is, but week after week, scene after scene, everyone is being schooled by a former Fox News host.”

It turns out that Luann de Lesseps doesn’t want to film with Eboni K. Williams out of fear of being dubbed a racist. Ramona Singer is also pissed that one of her co-stars is leaking lies to the press. Meanwhile, Leah McSweeney is furious that fans believe she is the leak.

“The Countess is uncomfortable to film with Eboni as she is concerned that she will be made to look like a racist for speaking up when she felt defamed in her own home,” the source explains. “Ramona is pissed that someone is leaking against her and that false stories are coming out painting her as a nightmare who is about to be fired… Leah is furious that she is being made out to be the leak as she is very close to Eboni and has a good relationship with the rest of the cast. She wants this show to be a success too and wants the leaks to stop.”

The Real Housewives of New York City airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

There’s some conflicting information floating around about Ramona Singer’s fate on the Real Housewives of New York.

While multiple sources are certain a casting shakeup is coming to Bravo’s New York Housewives franchise, they can’t agree on Ramona’s fate – some say she’s safe while others insist she’s getting fired. Only time will tell what the truth is.

A new report from the DailyMail claims that Ramona “isn’t going anywhere” this comes a day after Radar Online reported that Bravo was planning to fire the OG New York Housewife following a disastrous season.

“Ramona Singer ain’t going anywhere,”  the network insider revealed. “This story is complete rubbish.”

“We do not make casting decisions this early in the year; we decide after the reunion episodes have aired,” the source said. “The production company Shed, and the network Bravo really take into account what the fans say online and how they respond to the cast.”

“One Housewife, in particular, has it out for Ramona, and she wants her off the show. This Housewife is leaking to news organizations that Ramona is fired in an attempt to push the network to get rid of her,” the insider continued.

The source added, “Over the coming weeks until the reunion is filmed, there will be “anti-Ramona” stories leaked everywhere as this Housewife attempts to push her off the show. The only problem is, Housewives fans who have stuck with the show this season know what the problem is, and this year it isn’t Ramona Singer.”

Radar Online recently claimed that Ramona was “too expensive” for Bravo to keep on since she’s been a main star on the show since the beginning. The report also claimed that Ramona’s “behavior isn’t great TV anymore.”

However, DailyMail’s source insists that Ramona isn’t getting fired but notes that some New York Housewives should prepare themselves.

“Ramona also isn’t the cast member that should be worried,” a well-placed source quipped. “There is one cast member who producers have found particularly problematic as what viewers are seeing on television isn’t real.”

“Ramona has been the backbone of the show this season, and she’s been a key part of the series since day one. Love her or hate her, she makes great reality television,” the source continued. “We’ve seen her raise her daughter, re-marry Mario, deal with his infidelity, get divorced, and then hunt for a new man. She opens up her home and her life with transparency. That can’t be said about other members of the cast.”

They added, “Just like OC, you can expect a cast shakeup, though. This show can be saved. Look at how great Beverly Hills is now.”

The Real Housewives of New York City airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
