Did Jenna Lyons insult Ubah Hassan's hot sauce brand? 'RHONY' star fires back after co-star's dig about her business
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: In the second part of the Reunion of 'The Real Housewives of New York City', Ubah Hassan is ready to defend herself and her pet project: her hot sauce company. When host Andy Cohen addressed the tension between Ubah and her co-star Jenna Lyons, things got heated and insults were hurled.
In the preview clip, Andy questions Jenna about the time on the program when she mentioned "getting a taste of Ubah Hot."
The scene shifts to an earlier episode of the show, when Ubah visits Jenna at her home, unaware that cameras are present.
Ubah informs Jenna in the scene that the latter's secretary texted her about the invitation, but didn't specify they'd be videotaped. Brynn Whitfield and Sai de Silva also attended.
Ubah expresses her displeasure at being taken off guard as Jenna apologizes.
Ubah says to Renuion, "Jenna, I was very disappointed to hear what you said."
Jenna attempted to defend herself, claiming that whatever was stated had nothing to do with her hot sauce company. "I would never try to dupe you."
According to Ubah, there is a distinction between being "angry" and being "assertive."
What is 'RHONY' star Ubah Hassan's Hot Sauce Company?
The African-inspired UBAH HOT line reached Oprah's list of 2021's favorite things, which is no small achievement. It was included in an Oprah Daily story about Ubah, who has modeled for Gucci, Ralph Lauren, and Oscar de la Renta, among others.
A passion for flavors is never far from the model's mind. In fact, she told The Fashion Spot that if it weren't for modeling, she would have been a chef.
According to Oprah Daily, Ubah discovered her love for life immediately after relocating from Canada (where she'd relocated with her family at the age of 15) to New York City to pursue her modeling career at the age of 26.
At the time, she shared a sixth-floor walkup apartment with seven other models, all of whom were attempting to make a name for themselves in the profession.
When COVID-19 put a halt to her modeling career, she began concentrating on her brand of spicy sauces.
Ubah told Oprah Daily that she didn't want to eat monotonous foods like steamed fish and plain veggies.
The UBAH HOT website features some of Ubah's tried-and-true recipes that use any of three different hot sauce flavors.
The first, 'Ruby', is characterized as a sweet, strong flavor inspired by Ubah's two Virgo nieces and prepared with Fresno peppers.
The second, 'Yellow Tanzanite', is a "rare and special" habanero pepper recipe "inspired by my beloved mother, my roots, the one who taught me to see the good in everyone."
The third is titled 'Emerald', after a phrase by Marcus Aurelius that states, "Whatever anyone does or says, I must be an emerald and keep my color." Serrano peppers, cilantro, and garlic flavors mix beautifully in this recipe.
Each sauce jar has a distinct colored label to match its title (red, yellow, and green, respectively), with a drawing of Ubah on the labels.
'RHONY' co-stars Ubah Hassan and Brynn Whitfield engage in fiery exchange
When Ubah said she was trying to be assertive, Brynn begged to differ. In the dramatic preview clip for the 'RHONY' Season 14 reunion Part 2, Brynn warns her that she's not scared of her.
In the sneak peek released by Bravo, Ubah stated that Brynn, who had a difficult background, did not "know how to be loved."
"Watch your f–king mouth. I’m not afraid of you. You put people in the hospital, I put people in the funeral home," Brynn responds gently but forcefully.
Andy, the long-running reunion host, is taken aback and exclaims, "Ooh."
'The Real Housewives of New York City' Reunion Part 2 will air on October 29 at 9 PM ET exclusively on Bravo.
