Ramona Singer DENIES racist claims and says she ‘always liked Eboni Williams,’ as star claims Bravo investigated and cleared her years ago — but she’s fired from real estate job amid ‘racist slur’ row
Ramona Singer is still in hot water over allegations that she used the n-word to refer to a black member of The Real Housewives of New York City production staff.
And while she denies the claims and insists she always liked fellow housewife Eboni Williams, she continues to face significant backlash for her alleged behavior.
On Tuesday, the reality TV star, 66, was fired from her job as a real estate agent at Douglas Elliman.
However, Singer claims that this issue was investigated by the Bravo show’s production company in 2021 and she was cleared to continue working on the series, per TMZ.
A report from Page six claims that the results of that investigation were “inconclusive” and that as a result she was acquitted in good faith.

Singer was also fired from BravoCon in Las Vegas this week after she tried to defuse the controversy, which only led to more problems for her.
And it’s a case of self-sabotage, as it’s her more recent comments trying to downplay her 2021 behavior that got her removed from the three-day convention.
One of the racially insensitive comments Singer made was during a training call for that same topic.
Eboni claims that Singer wondered why so many black people did not have fathers growing up.
‘What if they don’t have a father? Why can’t I say that? Most of them don’t,” Singer reportedly said.
On the work front, Singer joined the real estate company in November 2021 after taking the real estate exam earlier that year.
All the details of the messy situation were revealed in an in-depth report from Vanity fair.
The bombshell feature delved into the many scandals surrounding the Housewives franchise.

The Vanity Fair expose also reported on an alleged off-camera interaction between Williams and Singer after Luann De Lesseps stormed out of the room.
“Ramona slammed her hands on the table,” Williams said. ‘She says, “This is why we didn’t need black people on the show…. This is going to ruin our show.”
Singer emailed the publication to tell her side of the story.
She said that interaction was “absolutely.” didn’t happen. “I was actually in favor of adding several cast members long before Eboni was added.”
