'RHONY's Heather Thomson Seemingly Claims She Was 'Assaulted' By Co-Star Leah McSweeney

Heather Thomson is dishing on her return to The Real Housewives of New York City.

Heather appeared as a main cast member on the hit Bravo reality show in seasons five through seven, but has continued making guest appearances on the show.

She will now be returning as a guest again for the upcoming 13th season, which is premiering on Tuesday, May 4.

In a new interview promoting the upcoming season, Heather revealed that she was “assaulted” during filming.

“I get assaulted this season,” Heather said on the Friends of Dorothy podcast. “The show has changed a lot, breaking the fourth wall.”

Heather then alluded that it was at the hands of Leah McSweeney, who joined RHONY in season 12.

“People were interested in putting me down, dragging me down and showing me who is the queen bee,” Heather added. “I just don’t have time for that stuff. It’s the new girl who was intimidated and wanted to show who’s the queen bee.”

Back in March, Us Weekly reported that Heather had stopped filming RHONY after a “messy” exchange with Leah.

In the trailer for season 13 of RHONY, the drama between Heather and Leah is teased, with Leah referring to Heather as “a Karen.”

RHONY returns for season 13 on Wednesday, May 4 at 9pm ET on Bravo.
