Overview
- Deadline first reported Friday that Devyn Simone will appear on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 16 in a recurring “friend” role.
- Simone is listed among an ensemble that includes returning cast members Erin Lichy, Sai De Silva, and Jessel Taank plus newcomers Hailey Glassman, Erika Hammond, and Daisy Toye, with Carole Radziwill also set to return as a friend.
- Simone is a reality‑TV veteran who first rose to fame on MTV’s The Real World: Brooklyn in 2009 and later competed on The Challenge before building a profile as a dating expert and daytime TV panelist.
- Reporting names Shed Media as the series producer and lists Lisa Shannon, Lauren Volonakis, Anne Swan, and Andy Cohen among the executive producers for Season 16.
- The move underscores Bravo’s ongoing strategy of blending franchise veterans and media personalities to draw crossover viewers, and Bravo has not yet announced a premiere date for the season.
