Sai De Silva appeared on Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, where she reacted to Ubah Hassan‘s statement suggesting that Naomi Campbell and Gisele Bündchen wished they were her.
After Brynn Whitfield, 37, was seen reminding Ubah, 41, that she wasn’t Naomi, 54, or Gisele, 44, the 44-year-old Real Housewives of New York City star shared her thoughts on Ubah’s claim and reaction to Brynn’s call to Abraham “Abe” Lichy, offered an update on where she stands with Pavit Randhawa, reflected on her accusations of Jessel Taank, 45, taking too many pics, and more.
“I think that Ubah gets so hot and frustrated she kind of blacks out about what she says sometimes. She’s such an amazing and nice and passionate person that once you poke her to that point, she’s so gone she really doesn’t even know what she’s talking about,” Sai explained of Ubah’s outburst about Naomi and Gisele on the January 14 episode of WWHL. “She didn’t mean that at all … I don’t think she was comparing herself. She is friends with Naomi. She does know Naomi, so I do believe that Naomi knew what she said — I think.”
As for Ubah getting upset at Brynn for calling Abe amid her and Erin Lichy‘s effort to play a dirty joke on him, Sai described the reaction as unnecessary.
“That’s not her husband. If anything, I think Erin should’ve been more upset. But I think she was just trying to protect Abe cuz she really adores him,” Sai reasoned.
Then, when a caller wanted to know why she didn’t approach Jessel about the lingering animosity between her and Pavit, who she compared to Dory from Finding Nemo, Sai admitted they have no relationship.
“I don’t think I need to have a relationship with Pavit. I adore Jessel and that’s about it. I don’t think anything was gonna get solved … I’m not expecting anything, so I’m just moving on from it,” she stated.
Also speaking of Jessel, Sai admitted to being regretful about her complaints about her photos.
“I think it’s great for her. She had a huge glow-up. I think she’s having a phenomenal year, [and] she should celebrate herself. I think I was just roped up and manipulated into a conversation I should not have been in, and I take full ownership,” she said.
Another caller wanted to know why she seemed to have made a habit of gossiping in a group and then blaming the others involved as they signaled to her and Erin’s chat with Brynn, who they later told Jessel was gossiping about her.
“I totally told on myself. I went to her room, and I said, ‘All three of us were talking, including [Erin].’ [Erin] got on the bed and said it was only me and Brynn. I thought we were being mean girls,” she revealed.
Sai then played a game in which she was asked what her RHONY castmates should be called out for.
Speaking of Ubah, Sai told her co-star, “Just listen to us. Just be quiet and let someone talk.” Addressing Jenna Lyons, 56, she added, “Stand on business. Say it with your chest. Say what we’re all meaning. I know you want to cuss someone out. Just do it.”
Moving to Brynn, Sai continued, “You’re a transplant. Please stop telling New Yorkers how to behave.” And to Erin, she stated, “Stop following Brynn around and just tell her the truth. She’s full of sh*t.”
Although Sai wanted to see more from Jenna during the season, she hinted that Jenna went to bat at the reunion.
“She did phenomenal. She said it with her chest,” she explained.
Sai also shared that she found it hard to be “vulnerable” on camera before looking ahead to the “dark” finale.
“We had to break that up … It was a rollercoaster of emotions and you were kind of … We’re just like, ‘What door to I pick next?’ And you didn’t know what to do. I think people are going to be really shocked,” she teased.
Also on the live airing, Sai confirmed she was Team Ubah amid her feud with Brynn, admitted it was “uncool” when the series’ husbands involved themselves in the ladies’ drama, and named Brynn as the cast member who thinks they’re the “biggest star of the show.”
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Sai was asked about Jessel’s confessional, in which she admitted Ubah was saying what she was thinking in regard to the “gross” beach in Puerto Rico.
“I was a little disappointed she would say something like that considering how hard of a time that the island has been having,” Sai replied. “The island does need tourists. We do need money to bring people to this beautiful island and see all the things we have to offer, the culture, [and] the food. People are very warm in Puerto Rico, so I was very sad to see that one experience and for her to repeat it when she knew what the situation was. It was a very rainy day. It wasn’t a great day. But Puerto Rico is absolutely beautiful, and if you can, please go and visit.”
The Real Housewives of New York City season 15 airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
