The second season of a rebooted Actual Housewives of New York kicked off earlier this week, and by most accounts, the artwork world is effectively represented by Racquel Chevremont, a curator, mannequin, collector, artwork adviser, and former associate to artist Mickalene Thomas.
Whether or not Chevremont will come to be a breakout star on the present is but to be seen. She was launched in scene that noticed head housewife Jenna Lyons rummaging by means of her closet whereas her girlfriend’s mom—whom she has simply met for the primary time–seems on. (Lyons famously refuses to make her relationship a part of the present’s drama, however evidently relationship-adjacent of us and instant household didn’t make the contract negotiations.)
RHONY followers didn’t get the possibility to turn into too aware of Chevremont on the season opener. In line with the Each day Beast, she “could be very a lot consistent with the artsy, aspirational angle Bravo has wanted with the reboot.” Nonetheless, she could also be “a bit too self-aware” to ship the drama that viewers mainline the present for.
Chevremont’s queerness struck a chord with some observers. “What I like about Racquel is that she isn’t just queer, she is a lesssssssssssssbian with 13 s’s,” reads a overview of the primary episode in Vulture. Whereas the earlier LGBTQ girls on the present had been “fairly, femme lesbians who put on robes,” the overview stated, Chevremont “is in braids, carrying leather-based, and on the again of a bike along with her even butchier girlfriend.”
Whereas a few of the different girls, like Brynn Whitfield and Erin Lichy, are caught up in acquainted feuds and misunderstandings, Chevremont’s story provides a singular perspective, with the added bonus of maybe drawing Lyons out of her shell a bit due to the pairs actual life off display friendship.
In line with the New York Put up, Bravo has so much using of this Housewives reboot, nevertheless it’s far too early to inform how a lot followers will go to like, or hate, Chevremont. However so long as it’s one of many different, the rankings needs to be nice.
