Brynn Whitfield and Ubah Hassan clashed on the “Real Housewives of New York City” Season 15 finale — enough for producers to get involved.

Their heated argument stemmed from Whitfield, 38, claiming that Hassan, 41, had called her a “whore” despite knowing she is a sexual assault survivor.
The co-stars ended Season 15 with a heated argument. Getty Images for Glamour Whitfield claimed Hassan knew she was a sexual assault survivor before calling her a “whore.” Bravo“Here’s the reason why it’s not just an insult,” Brynn told viewers in a confessional. “It’s because of the fact of, like, I’m still dealing with something, so I don’t want any f—ing low blows that aren’t true, but let alone about something that is still something that I wake up in the middle night [and] I can’t breathe over.”
The marketing consultant alleged to her castmates that she told Hassan before BravoCon in November 2023 that she had been “raped and [was] still dealing with” the trauma, which she also opened up about in a December 2024 episode.
“I’m in support groups trying to deal with s–t that happened to me,” she continued. “You want to go there? And Ubah knows this. Ubah knows this.”
Because of this, she claimed Hassan’s statement was “not just an insult.” Bravo Hassan was “completely blindsided” by the accusation. BravoStay one step ahead with all the exclusive tea on your favorite reality TV stars!
