Sai De Silva reportedly confronted Carole Radziwill on camera over her past social ties to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein on the upcoming Real Housewives of New York City season.
According to insiders close to production who spoke to TMZ, Sai, 45, questioned Carole, 62, during filming for season 16 after Carole was mentioned in the Epstein files and linked to Maxwell, who photographed her for her 2005 memoir, What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love.
For Sai, the subject was personal. The sources said she pressed Carole because she has young children and wanted answers about what Carole knew and when.
The exchange reportedly followed the cast through production, with Sai and Carole remaining at odds even after regular scenes wrapped. The season has finished filming, though the women are still recording confessionals about what happened.
Carole appeared full-time on RHONY from seasons 5 through 10. Producers were reportedly pleased with Carole’s return as a “friend of.” Season 16 is expected to premiere in the coming months.
She has shot down any suggestion that she knew anything improper about Maxwell.
“Imagine knowing someone… and then they turn out to be, like, a monster,” Carole told The New York Times in March.
On X, Carole wrote, “We didn’t know,” adding, “When people are doing bad s–t they hide it well. It’s f–king creepy.”
