The TV personality’s outing comes just one day after she was removed from the BravoCon lineup due to a report that claimed the star used ‘racial hostility’ and used the N-word while talking with a Black crew member on set of RHONY.
The anticipated BravoCon event is slated to be held later this week from November 3rd through November 5th in Las Vegas.
Ramona was also accused of claiming that most Black people didn’t have, ‘present fathers’ which the Black crew member refuted.

Latest controversy: The RHONY star – who was removed from BravoCon lineup after a claim she used ‘racial hostility’ to a Black crew member on set – enjoyed an outing in the Big Apple
She was originally slated to promote the fourth season of Bravo’s The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip while attending BravoCon.
However, Page Six revealed that shortly after the report was published, Singer’s name was removed from the lineup.
Singer was set to promote the new Ultimate Girls Trip season at the convention with Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, Kelly Bensimon and Kristen Taekman, though now she won’t be a part of the event.
The upcoming season is slated to premiere later this year in December on the streaming site, Peacock.
She previously appeared on the first season of Ultimate Girls Trip in 2021 with de Lesseps, RHOA’s Cynthia Bailey and Kenya Moore, RHONJ’s Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga and RHOBH’s Kyle Richards.
This new season will reunite her with many of her past cast members, though notably absent are the most recent RHONY Housewives before the reboot – Leah McSweeney and Eboni K. Williams – the first Black Housewife in RHONY’s 13 seasons.
The original bombshell report from Vanity Fair claimed that, when Williams joined the cast ahead of Season 13, the rest of the cast underwent a ‘virtual education session’ which delved into what types of things were fine to say on camera.
Singer and Williams were present, along with Leah McSweeney, Sonja Morgan and Luann de Lesseps, along with an NBCUniversal communications executive, a Bravo publicist and two representatives from a racial justice organization.

Claims: Ramona was also accused of claiming that most Black people didn’t have, ‘present fathers’ which the Black crew member refuted
Williams – who claimed the meeting was a ‘cover your a** move’ – said that the meeting had covered things cast members should avoid saying like ‘the racist trope that black fathers are not present for their children.’
‘What if they don’t have a father? Why can’t I say that?,’ Singer said during the meeting according to Williams. ‘Most of them don’t.’
The Bravo publicist – who is Black – told Singer that she did have a father though Singer continued that she read a study that claimed most Black children don’t.
Singer responded to the Vanity Fair report by stating, ‘The training included “open dialogue. In that spirit, I asked a question about a statistic I had read about single-parent households, where children with single-parent households were statistically less likely to succeed than two-parent households.’
The report also shed light on a scene where de Lesseps called Williams an ‘angry woman,’ which Williams took as meaning an, ‘angry Black woman.’
While Williams left the set, Singer stayed behind and reportedly, ‘slammed her hands on the table’ and said, ‘This is why we didn’t need black people on the show… This is gonna ruin our show.’
Singer told Vanity Fair that, ‘absolutely’ did not happen, adding, ‘In fact, I supported adding diverse cast members well before before Eboni was added.’ Williams left the show after the 13th season, with Bravo even cancelling the typical season-ending reunion special.
During her recent outing in NYC, the TV personality put on an edgy display wearing a pair of black pants as well as darker, brown-colored T-shirt.

For a finishing touch, the reality star slipped into a pair of knee-high, black crocodile-embossed boots that contained a small heel on the back.
Her blonde locks were parted in the middle, and flowed down naturally past her shoulders in light waves.
Ramona opted for minimal accessories, and chose to wear a pair of dainty, hooped earrings for a flashy flare to the look. As she made her way up a few steps that led towards a building, Singer was seen holding a stack of papers in her left hand.
