“Real Housewives of New York City” alum Ramona Singer has ignited a major firestorm. She posted a controversial photo on Instagram. In the image, Singer stands smiling next to Daniel Penny. Her caption and hashtag have drawn severe criticism. Many fans and critics are expressing outrage.
Ramona’s “Proud” Post and “#apennysaved”
Ramona Singer shared a photo. She is seen with Daniel Penny. Both appear to be at an event. Singer’s caption read: “So proud Daniel Penny !! #apennysaved #hero.” This declaration immediately polarized her followers. Some comments supported her. They called Penny a “hero for sure 👏” and a “true American hero!!🇺🇸.” One user wrote, “This makes me happy Ramona thank you for standing for the truth !”
However, a much larger wave of comments expressed disgust and anger. “Literally murdered another human being in cold blood. But go off,” one person retorted. Another asked, “Proud of what exactly? He murdered a homeless man! You are shameless.” The hashtag “#apennysaved” was particularly condemned. A social media user called it “actually insane and delusional.” Many comments questioned Singer’s judgment. “Alright Ramona I think we are done here,” one popular Instagram comment stated. Another said, “Even for you this is LOW.”
RHONY: Fans Slam Singer’s “Hero” Praise
The backlash quickly spread to social media. A thread titled, “For anyone who needs a reminder that Ramona is the POS who ruined RHONY,” gained traction. Users there echoed the Instagram outrage. “So disgusting,” one commenter wrote. Another labeled Singer a “vile POS.” Many linked this post to past accusations of racism and classism against Singer. “It’s always been racism,” a user asserted. Another added, “Also like this bitch doesn’t ride the subway… so what are her concerns.”
Critics felt Singer’s post was deeply insensitive. “Imagine saying you’re ‘proud’ of a man for killing someone,” one Redditor began. They continued, “Racists like her literally get joy from Black people being murdered. She is fucking despicable.” Others recalled Singer’s past problematic statements. One user mentioned an incident “about a black woman suffering during a traumatic birthing experience.” They felt Ramona inserted herself inappropriately. The overall sentiment was that Singer’s actions were deplorable.
Did Ramona “Ruin RHONY”?
This incident has reignited discussions about Ramona Singer’s impact on RHONY. Many believe her behavior contributed to the show’s eventual reboot. “Thank you for reminding us why RHONY was rebooted and ultimately cancelled. It was you,” an Instagram user commented. Her political leanings also became a topic. One Reddit user stated, “Ramona’s a MAGA turd through and through.” This was contrasted with other co-stars. Luann de Lesseps is largely seen as a Democrat. Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill reportedly voted for Hillary Clinton.
The post amplified existing criticisms of Singer’s character. “Ramona has always been a racist asshole,” a Reddit user declared. They added she “Should never be given any platform again.” Her perceived lack of awareness and empathy were focal points of the criticism. Many feel this post is another example of why her time on the show ended.
RHONY: Other Housewives Dragged into the Controversy
The controversial post also drew attention to other Bravo personalities. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Camille Grammer (Meyer) reportedly liked Singer’s post. “Of course Camille liked it,” one Redditor commented. This brought Camille into the wave of disapproval. Dorinda Medley also apparently liked the post. This surprised some. One user suggested Dorinda was “Likely tipsy and doesn’t know who he is.” Another thought, “dorinda just likes everyone’s pictures.”
