‘RHONY’ star Rebecca Minkoff’s motherhood remark creates rift between her and Brynn Whitfield
Rebecca Minkoff and Brynn Whitfield's beef just reached a whole new level during the girls' trip to Puerto Rico. During Episode 11 of 'The Real Housewives of New York' Season 15, Rebecca and Brynn got engaged in a heated argument while selecting their rooms.
In the episode, Rebecca asked for a solo room. “I have four kids, and I shared with Jessel last time in Anguilla, and I was just looking for, like, a break,” she said. Soon after, Brynn entered the chat and shared, "I have a puppy,” responded Brynn. "We all have very busy lives … It doesn’t matter if you have kids or not.”
While making an appearance at Bravo HQ, Rebecca shed light on the entire matter and mentioned that it does matter when you have kids. “I just said, ‘When you have kids you’ll know.’ It’s, like, one of those things … Until you give birth, you don't know how painful it is," she expressed.
Ubah Hassan also agreed with Rebecca's viewpoint and went on to say, “Kids are annoying." Then, Rebecca mentioned that she loves her kids but they can be difficult to handle at times. “The touching, the needing, and the ‘mom, mom, mom, mom, mom!’” she further added.

The fashion designer continued, “I knew she wanted to be a mom, but a lot of people say that. I didn’t know she was freezing her eggs ... So, when I doubled down on my statement, I really got an explosion. And I was like, ‘Oh, wow.’”
Jessel Taank also came in support of Rebecca and stated that she didn't feel that Rebecca made her comment “in an awful way.” Jessel chimed in, “You really don’t know what life is like unless you have kids. It’s something that you truly cannot predict or experience."
