Racquel Chevremont is joining The Real Housewives of New York City Season 15 as a full-time cast member.

The model and art curator joins fellow openly queer Jenna Lyons, as well as Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield.

Chevremont said the decision to join the Bravo reality series was made in conjunction with her family, adding, “My entire adult life has been about representation and using whatever platform I have to get the voices of queer folks of the diaspora out there. What better way to do so if not as a member of this iconic franchise.”

Chevremont noted that it’s important to her to “show people a loving fun family along with our chosen family,” and having a platform like RHONY will give visibility to the queer community.

“In the current world climate it’s important for not only our community to see themselves represented but also for the world to get to know a queer family in a more intimate way and show that we all have more similarities than not; That queer women can be successful, beautiful and in loving relationships raising children too; That this world exists,” she said.
