'Real Housewives of NYC' Stars Under Fire for Transphobic Comments

Two Real Housewives of New York City stars have apologized after being caught making transphobic remarks at a runway show during Fashion Week.

Dorinda Medley posted a video to Instagram (now-deleted) of the Garo Sparo show, and in the background, she and fellow cast member Sonja Morgan can be heard commenting on trans model Yasmine Petty as she walked down the runway.

“Well with a body like that, it’s a guy. That’s a guy,” said Medley.

“With a body like that it’s a guy, you’re absolutely right,” agreed Morgan. “Oh lord.”

To make matters worse, Petty said she could hear them talking about her as she walked by.

“I was really excited to do the fashion show for Garo Sparo for New York Fashion Week because he was using models of diversity,” Petty told Page Six Style. “And I knew they were filming the Housewives of New York and I knew they were front row and literally, as I was walking down the runway, I heard them making these statements.”

Morgan and Medley were also caught making similar unnecessary comments about drag queen Miz Cracker, asking, “Oh, that’s a guy, right?”

The women issued a basic joint apology shortly after the story broke.

“We have a history as long-standing supporters of the LGBTQ community in many ways and apologize for our offensive comments at the fashion show,” they said.

Though, of course, it’s not uncommon for people who “support the LGBTQ community” to fail to support the “T.”

“It’s pretty disheartening and disappointing, especially this day in age and being in New York City,” Petty said.

“My philosophy is that people can’t choose their sexual orientation. They can’t choose their gender identity. They can’t choose or not choose to have a disability or a mental illness or even their race, but things people can choose to do is not to be rude and cruel to people over things they have no control over.”
