Season 3, Episode 4 : GETTING REAL WITH SAI DE SILVA

It’s easy to dismiss reality TV as nothing but fluff. But when the storylines of the city’s rich and glamorous begin to overlap with the biggest political scandal of our times, that’s when entertainment becomes a cultural phenomenon.

On the latest episode of Your Favorite Auntie, Auntie (host Marjon Carlos) sits down in her proverbial living room with Real Housewives of New York ’s Sai De Silva, who this season traded in the usual Housewives theatrics for a little boots-on-the-ground journalism, dared to question her castmate’s involvement in the Epstein files, and proved why you can never check a girl from East Flatbush, Brooklyn. The content creator and mother of two has had a breakout season, while also mitigating a public divorce splashed across the tabloids, the on-camera dissolution of a years-long friendship, the grief and loss of her mother’s death, and racial microaggressions from her castmates.

In a refreshingly candid conversation, the Housewife sets the story straight on the rumors and misconceptions that have followed her marriage, identity, and even her home (and all its amenities!) across three seasons. Subscribe to Your Favorite Auntie on Substack to follow along this season.
