Jesse Turnk and Bryn Whitfield's friendship is deteriorating as season 15 of “The Real Housewives of New York City” comes to an end.
In an exclusive interview with Page Six's “Virtual Reali-Tea,” Turnk said her relationship with Whitfield “broke up” after she realized that Whitfield was acting like a “bitch” behind her back. spoke.
“It's definitely broken, and there's going to be a lot of work to do to get her trust back,” Turnk said, adding that Whitfield's pot-stirring habits got her into bad blood with several members of the “Rhoney” cast. I admitted that I had caused it.
“I think there are many girls who think that way.”
On the Jan. 7 episode of the reality show “Bravo,” Whitfield repeatedly called out Turnk.
The marketing consultant inexplicably criticized PR gurus for hiring professional glamor and photographers ahead of family events and public appearances, which is common practice for Housewives stars and wealthy women in general. It's a kind of act.
Whitfield also accused Turnk of having a “different face and different teeth,” disparaging the “old Jessel” who has made obvious cosmetic tweaks since her reality show debut in 2023.
These comments were made when Turnk was not in the scene or when Whitfield was speaking one-on-one with producers in a confessional.
“I think, unintentionally, she was just… kind of mean to everyone,” Tank says of Whitfield, the season 14 fan favorite in the second unscripted series. . “I think she probably went into the season feeling like she was God and that she was playing God in a way. And that didn't resonate.”
Taank elaborates: “But here's what's interesting. On the surface, everything is cool. But as you've probably noticed, all the sarcastic remarks come in the form of confessions of what's going on behind the scenes.”
Reflecting on the season, Turnk realized that Whitfield was “very two-faced” and was forced to reconsider their future as friends. “I don't like it and it's not cool,” she says.
But what hurt most was Whitfield's decision to share a “distortion of the story” in front of the camera, claiming that Turnk once said her husband Pavit Randhawa was “not a lover.” [her] life. ”
Turnk said the story, which she didn't know about until she watched the episode herself with Randhawa by her side, had a “very damaging” impact.
“Over the holidays last year, we had…a fun, innocent conversation about the craziest relationships.” [we’ve ever had]. She twisted and manipulated my entire story in a way that actually caused great damage to my marriage,” she explains.
“Looking back, I had no idea that was even being discussed. So I'm sitting on the couch with Pavitt and my jaw is on the floor and I'm like, 'Wait, that's not going to happen. All I can say is that there wasn't. So this is my word for Bryn…and it didn't work out that way. That literally never happened. ”
In addition to Turnk, Whitfield also found himself at odds with Uba Hassan, Cy de Silva, Erin Richie, and cast “friend” Rebecca Minkoff.
Turnk told Virtual Reali-Tea that he hopes Whitfield can grow from these struggles with time and reflection.
“I really hope that we can see how she's acting on the show and on the season and use that to reflect on, because I don't think anyone really loves Bryn,” OUSHQ founder people give their opinions.
“I think she needs some help.”
“The Real Housewives of New York City” airs Tuesdays at 9pm ET on Bravo.
