Your First Look at the RHONY Reunion

There's always drama during any Housewives reunion special, and fans expect that. But up until now, none of the 'Wives have actually ever fallen asleep during a reunion taping. Leave it to Ramona Singer to blaze the trail and do just that during the Real Housewives of New York's Season 7 sit-down, in a moment that caught co-star Kristen Taekman by surprise.

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.

"Ramona falling asleep. I mean, like, really? Ramona fell asleep. I don't know, did she like not get enough sleep the night before? Like, it's crazy to me," she laughed to The Daily Dish. "I think she's got that personality where if she's uninterested or not a part of it, she just doesn't care and she zones out. And I think she thought she was like on a different couch of some sort. She thought she was home. I think I nudged Heather [when it happened] and I was like, 'Are you kidding? Is she sleeping?' and it spiraled from there."

Besides that moment (which you can see in the supertease above), Kristen revealed that it was a cathartic night for the group, after all the ups and downs they faced throughout the season. "Everybody definitely aired their dirty laundry, which is really good," she said. "I think that there was a lot of tension building with some women, myself included, throughout the whole season. So that's what the reunion is all about and we really accomplished that this year. Tension was really building, you know, between Heather, Carole, and Luann, and it was really nice to see them face that head on."
