‘Who Cares Just Give Her an Apple’: Fans React to Remy Ma Reportedly Being Considered for ‘RHONY’ But Not Granted Opportunity Because of Residency

Some would say “The Real Housewives of New York” were about to go all the way up after consideration for rapper Remy Ma to join the cast made its way onto the scene. However, the decision hit a rough patch due to Remy Ma’s residence being in New Jersey rather than New York. 

According to TMZ, “The Real Housewives of New York” cast member Eboni K. Williams, mentioned Remy Ma’s name to the casting crew, “suggesting Remy would be a great addition to the show.”

It was also discovered by a source who reportedly told TMZ that the “Conceited” rapper did in fact have an apartment in Manhattan while her name was up in the air for “RHONY,” but eventually moved and got rid of her apartment. 

After news broke surrounding Remy Ma’s missed “RHONY” opportunity, many fans expressed disappointment in producers and even brought up the residence of those who are a part of other “Real Housewives” installations. 

“This would’ve been great casting wise for the revamp of the cast. Remy is level headed enough to eat on here.”

“Remy should have been picked because all those wives don’t live in Potomac or Atlanta.” 

“Entire cast of RHOBH lives in Encino, Studio City Hills, and I think Garcelle lives in like Santa Clarita?”

While some fans were displeased with Bravo’s choice in moving along without further consideration of Remy Ma, others shared a sense of hope that one day she will get a “Housewife” opportunity and receive her well-deserved apple. 

“RHONY does need at least one black female who’s on the hip/hop rap scene”

“Remy would have done great on Real Housewives, let’s reconsider one more time.” 

“Who cares, just give her an apple!” 

While Remy Ma may not join “RHONY” for its 14th season, if the rapper ever decided to move back to her home state, at least she knows people would love to see her on the show.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
