The women on Actual Housewives of New York Metropolis are all returning for Season 15. That is considerably stunning, as Jenna Lyons appeared to be over it, effectively earlier than it even started. General, Jenna’s not minimize from the identical camera-loving cloths as her costars. Nonetheless, she’s now chopping her personal model of filming-fabric, breaking the mould on what’s anticipated, and what’s really given.
You see, upon her return to filming, Jenna had one tiny little stipulation, which known as for a storyline ban on her relationship with Cass Chicken. Truly, Jenna doesn’t even need Cass’s title talked about on-air, in any respect. “That’s my dedication to her. It’s off the desk. I joined this course of. She didn’t,” Jenna rigorously defined.
I really get this transfer. When relationships go reside for all to evaluate, most of the time, they fail. Subsequently, if Jenna’s allowed to decide on what she shares, then I say good for her, and cheers to boundaries. However, this does pose the query of, will Jenna’s time on RHONY final, as a result of her safety of one thing that’s so paramount in her life?
Jenna’s solid may balk
Jenna isn’t the one RHONY star that’s fought for her privateness. In Season 14, Ubah Hassan adopted this similar path along with her boyfriend. In the course of the season finale, Ubah was agency about hiding her boyfriend’s identification on-air. The one tidbit that the viewers even acquired got here from Brynn Whitfield, who let it slip that Ubah’s man lived in CT.
And similar to that, “Mr. Connecticut” was born.
On the reunion, Ubah defined that “He’s very non-public due to his work.” Fortunately, for the viewers at the very least, Season 15 may present Ubah opening up a bit greater than in Season 14. I say this as a result of after the reunion, Ubah lastly went public along with her man on-line. His title is now identified, and it’s Oliver Dachsel.
Even nonetheless, Ubah caught flack from her costars, as she wasn’t mentioning all of it throughout their time spent filming. Whereas Ubah’s stance is perhaps altering for Season 15, Jenna’s hard-set no nonetheless stands. Subsequently, her failure to relate the small print about her relationship may as soon as once more set this solid on edge. If that’s the case, hopefully this powerhouse finds her voice this season, as a result of it’d be nice to lastly watch Jenna standing up for herself, whereas setting and sustaining her vital boundaries.
The viewers may name for Jenna’s transparency
If the title Robyn Dixon popped into your head when listening to about Jenna’s determination, you’re not alone, as a result of sames. Nonetheless, these two girls, in my view, have vastly completely different tales occurring. Jenna’s relationship, from what I can collect, is wholesome, and he or she needs to maintain it this manner. In distinction, Robyn’s marriage to Juan Dixon is poisonous, but she’s filming cowl tales and lies about her man’s Juandering eyes, and the followers hate it.
To restate this, Jenna resides truthfully, however protectively. And Robyn resides in a relentless state of survival and half-truths (a beneficiant fraction, I admit). Even Andy Cohen got here down onerous on Robyn, grilling her throughout an intensive one-on-one episode of Watch What Occurs Dwell. He did so after Robyn lastly opened up about Juan, however her transparency got here behind a paywall, not totally free on Bravo.
Whereas Jenna isn’t within the sizzling seat with Andy or the viewers simply but, she did have one encounter on WWHL that raised a number of eyebrows. After sporting a hoop on that one finger, many speculated a few doable engagment. When pressed by Andy, all Jenna would say is “I’m very completely happy.” Thus far, the audiences haven’t known as out Jenna’s lack of transparency, however her want to guard Cass may finally see backlash forming in Season 15.
Jenna’s relationship may also see friction come up
Filming for the Actual Housewives sequence can rapidly eat away on the starring girls schedules. Let’s face it, there’s events to attend, dinners and brunches to muddle via, and cheese boards to dissect. There’s additionally the often-seen solid journeys, reunions, and random WWHL appearances, which all of them usually attend in some unspecified time in the future alongside the way in which. Which means whereas Jenna’s sorting via the “cheese tensions” along with her costars, her girlfriend is off some other place, not spending time with Jenna.
That is completely different than in a typical relationship, the place each events have their jobs, their pals, after which one another. Right here, Jenna technically has an extra job, alongside a specific set of pals, and each at the moment are being marked as off-limits to Cass. Whereas absence may certainly make their hearts develop fonder, it very effectively may do the alternative, and friction may begin forcing it’s method into the up and coming neighborhood of Tribeca their hearts.
On the finish of the day although, that is Jenna’s life, and so long as she stays trustworthy and true to herself, all we are able to (and will) do now could be pipe down. Oh, and cross our fingers for a hopefully iconic RHONY Season 15.
Earlier seasons of Actual Housewives of New York will be streamed on Peacock.
