New Real Housewives Of New York City cast member leaves show, citing "anti-Semitic attacks"
Lizzy Savetsky has left the show in the midst of filming season
One of the new additions to the Real Housewives universe has already departed. Real Housewives Of NYC’s Lizzy Savetsky has officially left the reality television series due to a barrage of “anti-Semitic attacks” in the wake of her casting announcement last month.
“I will not be continuing on The Real Housewives of NYC,” Savetsky wrote in a statement shared on Instagram. “As a proud orthodox Jewish woman, I thought participating in this series would be a great chance to represent people like me and share my experience. Unfortunately, from the time of my announcement in the cast, I was on the receiving end of a torrent of anti-Semitic attacks. As this continued, I realized that this path was no longer right for me and my family. I’m looking forward to my next chapter. Stay tuned—and thank you for your support! All my love.”
