Eboni K. Williams is speaking out on The Real Housewives of New York City spin-off and has an idea why Bravo decided to split the original series into two. Fans met Eboni for the first time during RHONY season 13 as the show's first black housewife. Rumors had been swirling about her role on the show for some time, with viewers excited to see some diversity in the cast. However, things took a turn for the worst with Ramona Singer when Eboni hosted the infamous Black Shabbat.

After this episode, it was clear RHONY season 13 was going downhill and later ended abruptly. With the reunion already delayed, it was then revealed there would be no season 13 reunion.

"They were unwilling to come to the table and meet me even halfway in that negotiation." Eboni added that if there is one thing she knows about business, it's that "you can't close" without some sort of negotiation. Ultimately, Eboni believes the other ladies' unwillingness to negotiate on anything led to the idea and announcement of a RHONY Legacy series.
