Bershan Shaw may be new to the Real Housewives of New York, but she has already established an alliance with ‘OG’ Ramona Singer.
The Business Coach/Motivational Speaker publicly shut down accusations that Ramona is ‘racist’ after her cast mates Sonja Morgan, Luann de Lesseps, and Leah McSweeney confirmed they believe Ramona uses Black people as props to prove she’s not racist.
The newbie stepped in:
In an exclusive interview with US Weekly, the RHONY ‘friend of’ reiterated, โIโd say this again. Everyoneโs like, โSheโs a racist.โ Sheโs not. We just grew up in different ways in different areas.โ
โRamona didnโt grow up in a diverse area, right?โ
The โBuckle Up With Bershan” podcast host continued to defend her new friend. โSo, Ramona lives in her bubble, right? Her friends. But when we met in the summer, we hit it off. โฆ Sheโs a straight shooter.โ
Don’t hate the player, hate the game:
โThey [New Yorkers] stay in their neighborhoods. Theyโre here, theyโre there. I just think she has a world โ itโs Upper East Side. She goes to the Hamptons. Thatโs her world and thatโs her own bubble.โ
โIโm not like, you know, kissing her butt โฆ but sheโs like a lot of New Yorkers.โ
