Carole Radziwill returned to the show «The Real Housewives of New York City» amid increased interest in the life and untimely death of her close friend Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. This was announced in March when Carole, who previously appeared in seasons 5 through 10, officially confirmed her return to the Bravo franchise. A month prior, the FX series «Love Story», - dedicated to Carolyn’s relationship with John F. Kennedy Jr., premiered.
In the new season of «The Real Housewives», - Carole faced questions about Carolyn when her colleague Jessel Tank asked if Carolyn was a «bitch». This remark caused discontent among the other cast members. Carole noted that she had not watched the series and could not judge how her friend was portrayed. She added that she had only watched a few minutes of the show and found it too heavy.
Later, Jessel brought up the topic of «Carolyn Bessette’s summer style», - to which Carole responded that she did not like it. She later admitted that Jessel’s comments were «rude and inappropriate». In one episode, Carole shared that she felt «triggered» by the series, as it reminded her of the most painful moments of her life.
Carole also recounted a recent incident when she saw girls taking selfies outside the building where Carolyn lived, calling it «creepy». In one episode, she decided to clarify the situation with Jessel, explaining that Carolyn was a real person and her best friend, not just an aesthetic. Jessel acknowledged that she did not know Carolyn in real life, to which Carole replied that no one, except for her family, truly knew her. Carole expressed dissatisfaction that Jessel’s comments made her seem like a «fool» rather than a mean girl.
