Brynn Whitfield called Ubah Hassan “delusional” and shaded the fact that she “model[s] for Dressbarn” during a particularly heated moment in the trailer for Season 15 of The Real Housewives of New York City — and now, Ubah’s hitting back.
The model, more specifically, took to her Instagram Stories on August 13 shortly after the RHONY trailer dropped. “Just to clarify, my [Dressbarn] day-rate could easily cover six months of her cheap, no-view apartment rental,” she wrote. “xoxo Ubah.”
Brynn has yet to publicly respond, but she did further diss Ubah in the RHONY trailer after the latter cast member told her, “Darling, go Google my name.”
Replied Brynn, “You’re not Naomi. You’re not Gisele.”
Ubah is, however, a model in her own right.
Who does Ubah Hassan model for?
In addition to working with Dressbarn as she stated in her recent Instagram Story, Ubah has walked in fashion shows and posed for several brands over the years, including Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, and Gucci, per L’Officiel.

Brynn’s apartment, meanwhile, is impressive in its own right.
Where does Brynn Whitfield live?
Brynn resides in a two-bedroom apartment located in Manhattan’s Gramercy Park. She gave Architectural Digest a tour and shared her vision for the space back in July. “I don’t have a key to the park, but I’m going to become a Gramercy girl and do what I always do, which is decorate, decorate, decorate, pour money into a rental, and not care if I get my security deposit back,” she joked, pointing to the beautiful paint colors used in different rooms and “funky contemporary pieces” she added to the mix to achieve “1970s Parisian vibes.”

In the same AD interview, Brynn opened up about the importance of her current living situation.
“I have so many deep traumatic associations with home…. I came from Section 8 housing and welfare,” she said. “I’ve gone out of my way to make sure that I would have the exact opposite experience as an adult and love my home and be proud of it, not ashamed.”

What to expect from Ubah Hassan and Brynn Whitfield on RHONY Season 15
Ubah’s official bio for RHONY Season 15 is as follows: “Happier than ever and madly in love with Mr. Connecticut, Ubah Hassan’s dreams of becoming a mother seem closer than ever. Though as her relationship continues to prosper, she struggles with the thought of giving up her independence.”

Brynn’s, meanwhile, states: “Life for Brynn Whitfield is as sweet as can be since moving into her dream apartment with her energetic puppy, Sugar. Now that she’s perfected her new space and settled into life as a dog-mom, she’s ready to explore the next chapter: motherhood. But as rumors begin to swirl, she finds the life she’s worked so hard to create is questioned.”
The Real Housewives of New York City Season 15 premieres on Bravo on Tuesday, October 1 at 9/8c. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
