Tax troubled 'RHONY' star Brynn Whitfield was once evicted from NYC studio apartment for 'not paying $7K in rent'
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Brynn Whitfield has a history of financial problems, according to a recent report, and was evicted from a New York City apartment in 2014.
According to court documents obtained by The US Sun, the 36-year-old reality star was facing eviction from her Upper East Side studio apartment after falling behind on "nearly $7,000 in rent".
'The Real Housewives of New York City' star, who is reportedly behind "about $30,000 in back taxes," began renting the property in 2013.
According to court documents, once a yearlong rental arrangement on the residence ended, the landlord agreed to lease the property to Brynn on a monthly basis at a cost of $2,500.
In August 2014, the Indiana native and two others she shared the property with, referred to in court documents as Jane and John Doe, were presented with an eviction notice.
According to court documents, Brynn, a communications professional, continued "to be in possession of the premise without the permission of the Petitioner-Landlord after the expiration of said term."
According to court documents, the socialite was behind on her rent for the months of July, October, November, and December 2013. As per the court documents, Brynn was in arrears on the unpaid sum incurred in January and February 2014.
By October of that year, the landlord had petitioned the court for a "final judgment [to] be entered against" Brynn and her two co-tenants.
They were also going to receive "a warrant of eviction to remove respondents from possession thereof, and that a judgment be issued for the rent arrears."
In the lawsuit, a court ordered her to repay the unpaid debt.
Does 'RHONY' star Brynn Whitfield have outstanding tax debts?
A Los Angeles County clerk verified in July that the new Bravo star had one open state tax lien in California, as well as an IRS lien.
According to a lien issued against her in 2021, Brynn owes the state of California $11,359 in back taxes.
On the federal level, she has an IRS lien against her for $16,487 that is still active, as of 2019.
What is 'RHONY' star Brynn Whitfield's net worth?
Flaunting riches is the name of the game in the realm of the Real Housewives, and Brynn has done her best to play the game. The reality star dressed in a garment that looked to be made of pearls in a cast shot.
She is reportedly worth $3 million, according to a dubious article that was released despite her obvious financial difficulties. Following a Season 13 shakeup, she was brought on as part of an all-new cast for the totally rebuilt 'RHONY' series.
Prior to joining the series, Brynn worked in brand marketing and communications.
Where does 'RHONY' star Brynn Whitfield live now?
Brynn believes she has the nicest view on her street. When the veteran public relations professional and new 'RHONY' cast member stares out her living room window, she can see right into one of the West Village's magnificent single-family brownstones.
Through the paned glass, one can see what looks to be a spidery Serge Mouillé ceiling light, a new version of which costs $8,500 at Design Within Reach.
Despite the fact that her prewar flat is a quarter of the size, Brynn decided she needed one of her own and went to West Elm to purchase a look-alike for around $400.
The fact that Brynn's one-bedroom flat is a rental hasn't prevented her from making updates—at least the type that can be readily undone when she moves out.
