Ramona Singer is still in hot water over the allegations she used the n-word to refer to a Black member of The Real Housewives of New York City’s production staff.
And while, she is denying the claims, insisting she’s always liked fellow housewife Eboni Williams, she is still facing substantial backlash for her alleged behavior.
On Tuesday, the reality TV star, 66, was fired from her job as a real estate agent at Douglas Elliman.
However, Singer claims this issue was investigated by the Bravo show’s production company in 2021 and she was cleared to continue to work on the series, per TMZ.
A report from Page Six claims that the results of that investigation were ‘inconclusive’ and she was cleared in good faith as a result.

Singer was also axed from BravoCon in Las Vegas this week after she tried to brush off the controversy, which just led to more trouble for her.
And it is a case of self-sabotage as it is her more recent remarks trying to downplay her 2021 behavior that got her removed from the three-day convention.
One of the racially insensitive comments Singer made was during a training call for that very subject.
Eboni claims that Singer asked why so many Black people didn’t have fathers present while growing up.
‘What if they don’t have a father? Why can’t I say that? Most of them don’t,’ Singer reportedly said.
As for her job, Singer joined the real estate firm in November 2021 after taking the real estate exam earlier that year.
All of the details of the messy situation was revealed in an in-depth report from Vanity Fair.
The bombshell feature dove into the many scandals surrounding the Housewives franchise.

The Vanity Fair expose also reported on an alleged off-camera interaction between Williams and Singer after Luann De Lesseps stormed out of the room.
‘Ramona slammed her hands on the table,’ Williams said. ‘She goes, “This is why we didn’t need Black people on the show…. This is gonna ruin our show.”‘
Singer emailed the publication to tell her side of the story.
She said that interaction ‘absolutely.’ didn’t happen. ‘In fact, I supported adding diverse cast members well before Eboni was added.’
