Former Real Housewives of New York star Ramona Singer faced backlash after posting a sunny clip from her Florida getaway amid the devastating LA wildfires.
The fires, which have claimed 10 lives and forced over 130,000 evacuations, have affected many in Ramona’s celebrity circle, including Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newbie Bozoma Saint John, who lost her $5 million Malibu home.
The 68-year-old reality star — no stranger to controversy after being removed from Bravocon for an alleged racist slur — drew criticism on Friday for what many called a ‘tone-deaf’ post.
The drama erupted when Ramona shared a video of herself beaming on her oceanside balcony, soaking in the ‘beautiful morning in Florida’ while gushing, ‘What a way to wake up! So happy.’
Her caption didn’t help, reading: ‘A beautiful day to wake up to… unfortunately, people in Cali have no idea what their day will bring.’
Fans wasted no time flooding the comments under a repost, with one quipping, ‘Why would Ramona start thinking about others now? #ToneDeaf.’

The 68-year-old reality star — no stranger to controversy after being removed from Bravocon for an alleged racist slur — found herself under fire for what many called a ‘tone-deaf’ post
Another fan chimed in, ‘It’s just classic Ramona – this woman is insufferable,’ while someone else added, ‘Ramona will NEVER miss an opportunity to do the wrong thing…’
Yet another commenter put it bluntly: ‘She isn’t tone-deaf. This is who she is as a person. Very egocentric.’
Over the past few years, The True Faith Jewelry owner also became embroiled in a scandal involving ‘racial hostility,’ and was even removed from the 2023 BravoCon lineup.
However, the star has now admitted that fame just wasn’t for her.
‘I never liked being famous. Isn’t there a saying, “fame isn’t what it’s all cracked up to be?”‘ the Real Housewives alum told Us Weekly in November while attending the 26th annual Angel Ball in New York City.
However, interestingly enough, this is not the first time that Singer has shared this sentiment about her time in the spotlight.
‘I haven’t been on TV in two years now and I’m more relaxed now, I’m happier,’ Singer told DailyMail.com in March 2023.
‘I don’t have to deal with negative things being put out there that isn’t true,’ she added.

Later, Ramona shared information on how to donate to victims of the LA fires
‘For me, it is like the ship has passed now when it comes to me being on [the show]. Life is like a shark, you’ve got to keep moving forward. I have some many things in the works to look forward to.’
In 2023, however, Singer was shot back into the spotlight after a Vanity Fair article claimed that she was at the center of numerous racial-based complaints within Shed Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, Bravo, and NBCUniversal.
She was accused of using the N-word with a black Real Housewives Of New York crew member and saying that ‘most’ black people do not have present fathers in the bombshell report.
All of the details of the messy situation were revealed in the in-depth report.
However, sources close to Singer claimed at the time that this issue was investigated by the Bravo show’s production company in 2021 and she was cleared to continue to work on the series.
The feature also dove into many different ‘Real Housewives’ scandals, and heard from stars like Bethenny Frankel and Leah McSweeney.
Since 2021, the Real Housewives of New York has rebooted with a new cast that includes former J.Crew President Jenna Lyons, fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff and real estate agent Erin Dana Lichy.
