Bravo TV officially confirmed Leah McSweeney’s full-time role on The Real Housewives of New York City over the weekend at BravoCon.
According to a report from People magazine, the 38-year-old founder and CEO of Married to the Mob was announced as a new cast member as she filmed an episode of Watch What Happens Live with host Andy Cohen and her new co-stars, Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Tinsley Mortimer, and Ramona Singer.
During the show, Cohen asked McSweeney how she felt about her cast mates.
“They’re all unique individuals, but they’re all very bada**,” she replied.
Rumors of McSweeney’s addition to the Real Housewives of New York City first began swirling in August, just after cast member Bethenny Frankel confirmed she would not be returning to the show for Season 12. At the time, People reported that McSweeney had been brought to the show’s cast to replace the longtime star.
