The drama between“The Real Housewives of New York City”stars Sai De Silva and Carole Radziwill isn’t cooling down—it’s just moving to the next platform. On Tuesday, Sai posted and quickly deleted an Instagram Story that had all the hallmarks of another jab at her rival: a glamorous selfie paired with the caption“Just out here asking the questions that everyone wants to know…”
The timing, of course, raises all kinds of questions. According to reporting, Sai and Carole clashed throughout the upcoming season after Sai brought up Carole’s name appearing in the Jeffrey Epstein files, as well as her past association with Ghislaine Maxwell. What started as a single confrontation escalated into a season-long feud, with the two butting heads repeatedly as cameras rolled. Sources say the tension never let up.
Carole has already addressed her ties to Ghislaine in an interview with The New York Times back in March, saying“Imagine knowing someone…and then they turn out to be, like, a monster.”It’s a fair point—knowing someone before they’re exposed as part of something horrifying is hardly unusual or damning. But in the reality TV ecosystem, context rarely wins against narrative momentum.
What’s interesting here is that the season appears to have wrapped, yet Sai is still firing shots via Instagram Stories. The cast is still filming confessionals, which typically means there’s more drama to come on screen. But Sai’s choice to delete the post just as quickly as she posted it—while still knowing it would be captured and reported—suggests a calculated move. She’s keeping the feud alive without fully committing to it, which is its own kind of power play.
The question now isn’t whether these two will make peace before the season airs. It’s whether Bravo will lean into this conflict as the centerpiece of the upcoming season, or whether viewer sentiment will shift once everything’s laid out on screen. Either way, Sai’s made it clear she’s not done talking.
