A new Vanity Fair exposé claims the former “RHONY” star’s alleged racist behavior went farther than fans initially suspected.

While filming, Singer allegedly expressed racial hostility and used the N-word in a conversation with a black crew member during Season 13 production,, participated in a “virtual education session” that broached the topic of race and what types of commentary were not OK to say, according to the exposé. Singer, Williams, Leah McSweeney, Sonja Morgan and Luann de Lesseps appeared on the call, as well as an NBCUniversal communications executive, a Bravo publicist and two representatives from a racial justice organization.Former co-star Eboni K. Williams recalled Singer allegedly asking, “‘What if they don’t have a father? Why can’t I say that? Most of them don’t.’””Williams, 40, recalled Singer, 66, asking why she shouldn’t speak to the racist trope that black fathers aren’t present in their children’s lives. “’What if they don’t have a father? Why can’t I say that?’” Singer said, according to Williams. “’Most of them don’t.’” The network publicist, who is also black, informed Singer that she has a father, but the “Housewife” said she’d read a study that confirmed that most black children do not. McSweeney corroborated Williams’ account, the publication noted.The Vanity Fair exposé also confirmed Page Six’s report that Singer once said the show “shouldn’t have black people.”“The training included ‘open dialogue,’” Singer told Vanity Fair in response to the allegations. “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.”“I never said that. It’s a terrible lie,” she told Page Six at the time. “It’s very disappointing that even after my name was cleared that people still want to slander me.”Singer denied the incident again, adding in an email, “In fact, I supported adding diverse cast members well before before Eboni was added.”The real estate broker’s comment about “RHONY” not needing black people reportedly made producers’ “hot sheet,” a post-filming document that recounts on-camera dialogue and action in detail. King of Bravo and “Real Housewives” producer Andy Cohen received the hot sheet at the time and responded in an email obtained by VF, “These are incredible reads and will be amazing episodes. The fact that this particular journey through white fragility ends with Ramona DM’ing Bryan Cranston is next level.” That same season, Singer also allegedly told a black female production staffer, “’There’s so many of you guys here now, please don’t change your hair as I’m not gonna be able to remember anybody’s names.’”Singer responded to that claim by insisting it merely spoke to her “inability to remember names.”But two sources familiar with production told the magazine that Singer allegedly exclaimed, “There’s so many black chicks!” The'Friends' cast 'reeling' from Matthew Perry's sudden death: sourceHeidi Klum teases Halloween costume with naked pic: ‘Calm before the storm’See All Former co-star Eboni K.
