Congratulations to Sai De Silva. The Real Housewives of New York star just experienced her first-ever hot mic moment. That’s kind of like a right of passage for a reality star! The only problem: she got caught completely dragging Rebecca Minkoff, who Bravo hasn’t even confirmed as a cast member.
Sai said what?
It all went down during an episode of Sirius XM’s Jeff Lewis Live. That’s usually where all of the trouble happens. Sai thought they were in an off-air commercial break, but the whole thing was being recorded by the Radio Andy cameras. Not only did Sai confirm that Rebecca was a part of the RHONY cast, but she basically called her a wet blanket. If Sai of all people is calling you boring, then you must be a snoozefest.
“She’s nice. She’s really, really nice, but [she’s] kind of boring, to be honest,” Sai admitted.
She continued, “She’s too nice for the show.”
Another guest on the show suggested that the cast bring her down into the gutter with a good old-fashioned takedown. According to Sai, they’re already trying, but it’s not working. Rebecca isn’t taking the bait.
“I think people are trying to take her down, but she’s unresponsive,’ Sai explained.
Yikes! It sounds like Rebecca might have taken a note from the book of Jenna Lyons, where you show up and collect a Housewives check based on name recognition alone. Is that the best strategy for someone whose casting was already controversial? Probably not.
Either way, it remains unclear what role Rebecca will be playing on RHONY Season 15. Bravo has yet to confirm her casting. We just know she’s been running around New York City filming scenes with Sai and the other ladies. If she’s as boring as Sai says she is, then it would be surprising to see Rebecca end up with an apple.
