'RHONY' Cast Response to Brynn Whitfield Leaving
Brynn Whitfield is leaving The Real Housewives of New York City, and apparently her costars with the decision. To put it mildly. "The cast has largely distanced themselves from Brynn, and it was a relief for all of the ladies to hear that she will not be returning," a source tells Page Six. "Whether or not any of the girls get to hang on to their apples, they're elated that Brynn has dropped hers. Honestly, they'd be scared to film with her again after the mess she made last season." Brynn announced her decision to leave the Bravo show earlier this week, writing in part "After a lot of thought, I've made the decision to walk away from reality TV. For now. The Real Housewives of New York City will always be one of the most fun, chaotic, and magical chapters of my life. It was the honor of a lifetime to help reboot such an iconic franchise. From day one, I've believed RHONY is a fan's show — we're just temporary custodians of something that truly belongs to the viewers. I hope I made you laugh (a lot), cry (a little), and more than anything - I hope there's a TV in heaven so that Mimi (who LIVED for her shows) could watch me and be proud. To every person who gave me a chance, cheered me on, and afforded me love and grace-thank you. I'm endlessly grateful." Brynn also said she'll be spending her time working on her dating app and gearing up for her book. Read her full statement below!

Sol Brynn interview: Injury latest, Middlesbrough 'moment he dreams of' & next aim
IN A matter of weeks, Sol Brynn went from achieving his lifelong Middlesbrough dream to sitting alone in the Riverside dressing room on gas and air in the knowledge his season had almost certainly just been brought to a premature end. The highs and lows of football always seem even more extreme for goalkeepers. Twelve months ago, in an interview with the Northern Echo on the back of third successive impressive loan spell, Brynn told of his ambition of becoming Boro's No.1. That's always been the dream for the Teessider, now 24, who has been with his hometown club since he was just six years old. And this was the season when he looked to have achieved his dream. Brynn made his full Boro debut in the Carabao Cup first round win at Leeds back in August. "That was one of the best nights of my life," he said. Fast forward to November, on the back of signing a new long-term contract at the club, and it was time for a full league debut in the 6-2 win at Oxford. Two more starts followed before Seny Dieng returned from injury. But just a couple of games later, Brynn was preferred to Dieng for the home win over Millwall, the first of three successive starts for the keeper and, it seemed, the opportunity to nail down his starting spot. Then, disaster struck, a freak injury in the Boxing Day draw with Sheffield Wednesday and a shoulder badly dislocated. "That wasn't great, to be fair," he says in typically understated fashion. "It was more frustrating rather than anything else. I'd got my chance, I had a few games under my belt, I felt I'd played quite well then sod's law that happens. "It was the first save, I felt it pop out and it was excruciating pain. Then I looked up and saw the ball was at the fella's feet, so I thought 'oh god, I've got to try and save it!'. "I went off obviously and watched the rest of the second half with gas and air then went and got scanned and got it operated on the week after or so. "My emotions were all over at that stage. But then when you get told you're not going to play again this season, you flip your mindset to smashing the gym, trying to get fitter and better in every way. "It's about changing your mindset and not getting too frustrated." Surely that's easier said than done? "There's no point thinking about what could have been because that's just going to add to your frustration," he says. "The focus was on being positive. What I would say, the staff at Boro are really good and were great with me. They kept me focused." RECOMMENDED READING: And Brynn's focus now is on next season. "The injury is good, it's alright now and I'll be fine to go straight away in pre-season," he says. "When the lads broke up I was in for a week and a half. I'll have a couple of weeks off then go in for another week and just keep doing it like that. I'll come in a week or two early before the rest of the lads and just crack on from there. "My aim for next year is to be the established number one, play as many games as I can and do as well as I can." That's what Brynn did at Queen of the South, Swindon and Leyton Orient, stepping up in levels with each loan and taking it in his stride. And that's what led to the decision last summer that the goalkeeper wouldn't be going out on loan again. Instead, he was deemed ready to stay and challenge for the gloves at Boro. "There wasn't a big deal made of that last summer really," he says. "If I remember rightly I think it was Jamie Jones who told me he thought I'd be staying and it just kind of happened. "I was obviously buzzing. It's what I've always wanted, I've been at the club since I was six or seven and I've always said I want to play for Boro. That's always been the dream. "The Leeds game was obviously brilliant. It was a big game and the chance I'd been waiting for. I always knew if I got my chance I had to take it so I just approached it as an opportunity to show I was ready. "Then I remember before the Oxford league game, Seny had an injury and the gaffer pulled me and just said, 'you're going to be playing tomorrow'. Again, I was just absolutely buzzing." Brynn adds: "Coming into the season I felt like I'd learnt a lot from the loans. One of the big things I think is how to deal with a mistake. "Obviously you don't want to make them but if you do, put it behind you, you can't do anything about it. It's about how you react. "The loan moves were great. They stood me in good stead so coming back to Boro and getting my chance all felt quite natural. Rather than over-thinking it or worrying about whether you're ready, you've served your time and gone through the leagues so you know you are. I knew I was in a good place." You get the impression Brynn isn't the type to worry about much. "I've always been quite laid back, probably to the annoyance of my missus," he laughs. "Everyone is different but it seems to have worked OK for me. "Even when I was injured, it was frustrating obviously but I knew I'd earned my chance before and to have that confidence shown in you is all anyone wants. "It's obviously frustrating sitting in the stands when you're injured but I was just focusing on getting back and doing all I can to come back fitter and better." Brynn used to be in the stands as a kid. "I was there every week, I had a season ticket in the South Stand,' he says. "The game that stands out for me is the promotion game, Brighton, and Dimi catching the ball in the last minute. "That's the type of moment you dream of growing up, isn't it. I'd love a moment like that one day."

Goodbye (for Now) to ‘RHONY,' a Perfect Reality Show in Which Nothing Ever Really Happened
Sometimes it's hard to say goodbye to a thing, even when it needs to end. In the same way that I cried at my college graduation despite being extremely ready to stop attending, so do I mourn the end (for now, at least, per Page Six) of The Real Housewives of New York City, even though the show was—pretty objectively speaking—ready to conclude its recent trend of working passionately to make something out of nothing. While I can't speak for much of RHONY's 17-year history, I am intimately familiar with the goings-on of the current cast, and as such, I feel reasonably qualified to say that not much was going on with Jenna, Brynn, Ubah, Jessel, Erin, Sai, Racquel, Rebecca, or any members of their extended universe by the end of last season. Indeed, much of the drama painstakingly squeezed out of Season 15 concerned a fake rumor spread among the women for the specific purpose of seeing how far it would travel. And yet! I was somehow still riveted! Do I think it's a matter of national import that RHONY continue to air with its current cast lineup? No, but checking in to see what nonsense the girlies were up to felt like attending a weekly dinner party with longtime friends I had nothing in common with anymore but still enjoyed gossiping about. In a way, I wonder if catching up on RHONY drama in my 30s has replaced the chaotic friend-group drama of my 20s: Now that I've stopped picking inane fights with my friends, I've had the emotional capacity to keep up with the socio-emotional mess wrought by the RHONY crew, and it's hard to imagine my week without them. Someone pick up Season 16 on another network challenge! Those are my emotional support toxic besties!
