The finale. . .finally!

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.

I must start with a huge thank you to Bravo for giving me this extraordinary opportunity to have such a tremendous platform to reach others. You have allowed me to connect in such a personal and meaningful way with amputees and physically challenged people who found inspiration in the day-to-day life of a middle-aged, nutty housewife doing her thing. Thank you, Bravo, for giving voice to the struggles and triumphs of amputees and for helping so many of us.

Viewers, I am deeply grateful to you for watching! Thank you for your love, laughter, tears, and anger. You are all amazing, and I appreciate all your comments good and bad, hopeful and harsh, constructive and castigating. I promise, I am listening and learning.

Aviva Walks the Catwalk

There is so much coming up on the reunion that I will hold off on writing much more until then. However, I just want to thank Heather again for asking me to participate in her event for the Kellner Foundation. Heather’s passion for helping children like her son, Jax, is inspiring, and I am honored to support this organization’s important work.

I am further honored to have been able to work this season with such an extraordinary ensemble of women. I have learned a great deal from my fellow 'Wives, as well as the amazing viewers who have let us into their lives. Thank you Carole, LuAnn, Ramona, Heather, and Sonja -- you are all intelligent, capable and beautiful women, and I have appreciated every minute of this experience with you.

Stay tuned for the reunion. . .and thanks for watching.

Love,
Aviva
