There are still some big questions in the Big Apple regarding The Real Housewives of New York City.
“Everybody’s asking [about season 16], but I have no clue,” cast member Racquel Chevremont exclusively shared with Us Weekly at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards on Thursday, March 27. “We just wait and see. I’ll find out probably around the same time you do.”

“I would love to be filming with all the ladies, but I’m closest probably to Erin [Lichy] and Sai [De Silva] and Jenna [Lyons],” she told Us at the Beverly Hilton hotel. “I would love to see them again.”
Season 15 also featured Ubah Hassan, Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield. Rebecca Minkoff served as a friend of the cast but previously announced she would not be returning.

During season 15, viewers were introduced to her love story with fiancée Mel Corpus, who was also in attendance at GLAAD’s star-studded event.
Cameras rolled as Racquel tried to build a relationship between her mother and Mel.
“[It’s a] work in progress,” the art curator told Us of Mel and her mom’s relationship now. “It works out that way sometimes.”
While every family unit is far from perfect, Racquel continues to be overwhelmed by the outpouring of support she receives from strangers who connect to her story.

Before accepting the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Reality Program on behalf of The Real Housewives of New York City cast, Racquel was reminded of some of the personal messages that recently landed in her DMs.
“It is technically a show that’s been mainly about heterosexual relationships, and [I was worried] how the fans would actually embrace a queer couple with a family, and they’ve been incredible,” she said while wearing Alexis Bittar jewelry. “I have received nothing but just inspirational DMs. Everybody’s in my DMs. From mothers to teenagers growing up to people about to come out, later-in-life lesbians, all of it. While I was terrified and it was incredibly vulnerable and scary, I’m happy I did it.”
The 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards ceremony airs on Hulu Saturday, April 12. Stream old episodes of The Real Housewives of New York City anytime on Peacock.
