Fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff has indeed filmed some Real Housewives of New York City scenes, Reality Tea can confirm. However, a source close to production has said her role on the show is yet to be determined. Despite filming with some of the Season 15 ladies, she’s not guaranteed to land a full-time spot. Bravo is yet to confirm whether or not she will snatch an apple and place in the opening credits, or if she’ll simply be cast in a “friend of” role. It could also be that none of these two things happen, and she’s simply not the right fit.
Rebecca’s eye for fashion might be the perfect Real Housewives fit
Rebecca founded her self-titled American fashion brand alongside her brother, Uri Minkoff, in 2005. It specializes in a wide range of apparel, such as jewellery and handbags. Rebecca Minkoff retail stores are scattered around the world, from New York, to Tokyo, and the brand is distributed in over 900 stores separately.
While Rebecca’s name and Real Housewives hadn’t been mentioned in the same sentence publicly ahead of this week, she might be a natural new addition. Jenna Lyons is, after all, entering her sophomore season. She quickly became a fan favorite after debuting in Season 14. Could the same happen with Rebecca?
Rebecca’s relationship with Scientology
Rebecca has previously opened up about her “study” of Scientology. “I’m Jewish so I have my beliefs with Judaism and God and I go to Scientology to learn knowledge, she said during a podcast appearance in October 2021.
She also shut down critics of the faith. “I’ve been around it and in it for the better part of 20 years,” she started. “And I’ve never seen anything kooky or weird or anything, except a bunch of nice people who go out of their way to help others in need.”
As for whether Scientology is about the belief of aliens? “There’s no such thing as an alien,” Rebecca said emphatically. “We don’t believe in a f*cking – all the crazy stuff, ‘the aliens are gonna come,’ whatever.”
The Real Housewives of New York City Season 15 is expected to debut on Bravo in late 2024.
