Carole Radziwill Reflects on Her Time on The Real Housewives of New York City

Carole Radziwill will exit The Real Housewives of New York City after six memorable seasons with a lot of memories. She's been through a lot since she said, "I may be a princess, but I'm definitely not a drama queen" as her first tagline when she started in Season 5.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Peacock and catch up on the Bravo app

"I think back on some of the things that happened in Season 5 and my reaction to some of the things that happened in Season 5 and there was, like, this innocent naiveté that existed that now is a little bit more informed by getting to know the women and getting to understand the show better," she told The Daily Dish in the video above. "When I first started, I didn't watch the show so I wasn't really fully aware of what the drama usually circulated around."

She acknowledged that she's been through a journey with Luann de Lesseps.

"When I first met Luann, I didn't understand her very well at all," she recalled, "And then over the years, I got to like her and we were friendly and of course we had a falling out. And then this season, we kind of started in the place where we ended last season, which is, I think, tolerant of each other. But we don't end up in that place. We end up in a totally different place, so that was an interesting evolution of a friendship."

"She doesn't know how funny she is," Carole said of Ramona Singer, as the two are shown in a flashback when Ramona can't quite utter the right pronounciation of the word reggae.

Carole confirmed that she won't return to RHONY in a statement to The Daily Dish on July 25. "After six seasons on Bravo’s RHONYC, I have decided to return to what I do best —  journalism and producing," she said. "I am sure this does not come as a surprise to any of the viewers, all of whom have been supportive, encouraging, and kind. My original curiosity about reality television has waned over the years and I am focusing on TV and writing projects that better suit my more steady temperament. I have worked with amazing producers, made great friends, and I’m thrilled to leave frenemies behind. I will remember this entire experience with delight, humor, and a veracious accuracy. Next."
