Carole Radziwill is finally back on Bravo!
On March 2, Bravo announced that the former RHONY star will return for Season 16 in a “friend of” role.
Carole joins returning cast members Erin Lichy, Sai De Silva, and Jessel Taank.
Variety reports that filming begins this week.
Brynn Whitfield and Ubah Hassan — who were at the center of Season 15’s controversial final episodes — are out. Racquel Chevremont will not be back either.
Jenna Lyons previously confirmed she wouldn’t return, and Rebecca Minkoff, who held a “friend” role last season and never quite found her footing with the group, is also done.
ICYMI: Carole left RHONY after Season 10 following her intense feud with Bethenny Frankel. When she announced her departure in July 2018, she said:
“My original curiosity about reality television has waned over the years and I am focusing on TV and writing projects that better suit my more steady temperament.”
There was also the long-running tension between Carole and Andy Cohen, which played out publicly for years.
However, in fall 2024, Andy revealed that the two had buried the hatchet.
Last summer, Carole even returned to Watch What Happens Live for the first time in years to surprise Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers.
Now she’s officially back in the mix — just not holding an apple…
