How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c and stream next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.

Seeing myself on TV for the first time this season was overwhelming but it absolutely made me realize me for who I am. I realized a lot of characteristics about myself that I didn't necessarily see day-to-day which leads me to thank everyone for this opportunity to be a Real Housewife of New York City. I was able to expand on the classic definition of “housewife” and show everyone my story, from being a single mom and having my beautiful twin girls, Jesse and Zoe, managing and expanding my business, completely bare, and introducing myself to a new group of friends and/or frenemies.

More importantly, I wanted to say how amazed I am by all of my fans and followers. Without your constant support (#TeamCindy) and loving words I couldn't have done it without you!

But wait! It might have been the reunion but I am still ready and waiting for all of your questions and thoughts through my Facebook and Twitter @CindyBarshop!
