From Christian Louboutin to Manolo Blahnik, Brynn Whitfield proved she’s not safe in pumps. The Real Housewives of New York star experienced a shoe snafu at the US Open. As always, Brynn was able to laugh at herself … especially after her Wicked Witch of the West moment at BravoCon 2023.
Pump Rules:
While Brynn and her red bottoms broke the internet – and the escalator – it was a pair of Manolo’s that almost took the RHONY reboot favorite down this time. In the stands of the A-List only tennis match, Brynn went to take a photo of two sports fans with the tennis court in the background.
The vivacious redhead’s red pump got stuck in a crack in the concrete of of the stands, forcing her to take her shoe off … just like BravoCon. Brynn put her shoe back on and proceeded to take the photo.

Brynn’s Wicked BravoCon moment:
The chess-playing, first edition book collecting Real Housewife had a hunch her heels “were going to get stuck. I could feel it.” BravoTV.com quoted Brynn. “It looks like the Wizard of Oz. Do I have to pay for the escalator?” However, she remained undaunted. “I have a cute pedicure so I don’t care.” Brynn quipped, “You have to be prepared.”
Andy Cohen later made a special appearance at the panel discussion. “That is iconic,” he said upon seeing the stuck Louboutins. “Is there a dead person under it? That is the photo of BravoCon.”
Can we circle back to Brynn and the Pump Rules pun?!
Last year, Brynn revealed her longtime friendship with Lisa Vanderpump‘s daughter, Pandora Todd, could have gotten her a gig on Vanderpump Rules … if she was willing to work at SUR.
During an appearance on the Mention It All podcast, Brynn not only “knew Lisa Vanderpump before the show,” she’s been to Villa Rosa! “You’d go over there on a Tuesday random night and there would be rose petals up the staircase and candles. It would look like Valentine’s Day and it was a Tuesday. She’s that fabulous.”
Brynn reminded the listeners, “I’m friends with Pandy” and they were super chummy when Pump Rules was casting. “Back in the day when they were starting Vanderpump Rules, they were like, ‘We’re starting this show. Would you maybe want to think about being on it?’ I thought, ‘I’m going to have to quit my job at this PR firm and work at the restaurant?!?!’”
Although Brynn didn’t end up on VPR, she confessed to kissing an OG cast member. “I think, that manager, [Peter Madrigal], and I made out with him once on Halloween. This was like 2006.”
