Rebecca Minkoff and Racquel Chevremont join Bravo’s ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ for season 15, premiering Oct. 1. The fashion designer and art curator explain why they wanted to sign themselves up for reality TV, revealing who they knew before coming into the cast. The duo previews the group drama and personal stories set to play out, including Racquel’s relationship with Dr. Mel Corpus, which apparently started in ‘scandal,’ and conversations surrounding Rebecca’s personal beliefs as a Scientologist. Rebecca also clears up a misleading headline about attempting to start fake fighting with Jenna Lyons on the show.
