The Real Housewives of New York City is back and there is already a lot of drama in the Big Apple.
“We obviously have some expectations,” cast member. Jessel Taank shared exclusively with Us weekly ahead of RHONY premiere of season 15. “With one season under your belt, you understand what this world is about. Ultimately, for us, we really wanted to continue to be fun and entertaining. “I think that's what it should be and it should be joyful, and I hope that comes through in this new season.”
It wasn't all fun and games during the Bravo premiere on Tuesday, October 1. In the first minutes, viewers felt the tension that was brewing between Brynn Whitfield and Change Hassan during a cast photo shoot.

I think what happened in the finale of last season, where Brynn somehow gets over Ubah's love interest, I think really raised a lot of doubt and I think it created a lot of tension in their friendship from that point on.
One friendship that seems to be in a better place is Jessel's bond with Sai De Silva. While the duo spent much of season 14 clashing, Tuesday's episode showed the couple in a good place.

After Erin, 37, denied the allegations in the RHONY In the season premiere, Jessel hopes the entire cast can focus more on moving forward and less on the past.

“[Racquel] It is essentially New York. She is very tough and adds a very interesting dynamic to the group,” Jessel joked. “I had never met Rebecca before. “We're obviously mixed in the same circles, but it's been a pleasure getting to know her.”
