New York, New Tensions

Summary of RHONY Season 15, Episode 1: "Apple of My Lie"

The season opens with tension among the cast members, especially between Brynn and Ubah, who end the episode on bad terms. Brynn’s new Gramercy Park apartment and her visit from her brother Daris set a lighthearted tone, but deeper issues quickly emerge.

Jessel and Pavit navigate parenting struggles, expensive IVF cycles, and Jessel’s desire for luxury gifts. Erin and Ubah, close friends, discuss their friendship and they are like peanut butter & jelly, while Erin’s friendship with Brynn is strained due to past rumors of Brynn being a call girl—a misunderstanding from Jeff Lewis’s podcast.

Meanwhile, Sai focuses on therapy and personal growth, trying to mend fences with Jenna. Jenna is purging her apartment with the help of her girlfriend’s mom and her friend Racquel, who both share their experiences of coming out after previous marriages to men.

Erin, dealing with her mother's cancer diagnosis, contemplates family life while house-hunting. Tensions rise at Brynn’s party, where unresolved issues resurface between Brynn and Erin, as well as Jenna and Sai, leading to heated confrontations.

Brynn’s exit after a fight sets a dramatic tone for the season, with Ubah entering the party only to discover the aftermath.
