Jessel Taank Calls Carole Radziwill ‘Old’ Amid Ongoing Feud

During a recent discussion on the Bravo after-show, Real Housewives of New York City star Jessel Taank referred to fellow castmate Carole Radziwill as "old" while addressing their ongoing disagreement over the meaning of "dingbat."

In the conversation, Taank stated, "Being British, I've never been called this before. She's old, right? So I was like, 'Oh, is she trying to be like, with this term? I know that it's not a compliment, but I didn't know it was that severe." Meanwhile, Radziwill defended the word by describing its nuances: "I could've said, 'Shut the f*ck up. You're a f*cking idiot.'"

This development marks the latest escalation in the feud between Taank and Radziwill, who have been at odds since joining forces on Season 16 of RHONY. For those unfamiliar with the controversy surrounding "dingbat," it appears the debate centers around whether the term carries an insult or a hint of endearment. Radziwill maintains it simply describes someone flaky or airheaded, while others claim it packs a harsher punch.

To provide some context for readers, Radziwill originally joined the show in 2012 during Season 5 and remained a main cast member until departing in 2018. She resurfaced in Season 16 as a "Friend of the Cast." In contrast, Taank made her RHONY debut in 2023 as part of a revamped cast, marking a historic milestone as the series' first South Asian and Indian addition.

While no clear resolution to this conflict seems imminent, viewers are likely eager to continue following the developments as they unfold. With both women firmly entrenched in the ongoing battle of wits, there's little doubt this will remain a central storyline throughout the remainder of Season 16.
