“I’ve heard so many great things,” Rebecca said when she met Ubah.

Ubah knew the Rebecca Minkoff brand. “I know your name like I know Coca-Cola,” Ubah said joyfully. “I’m so excited to meet you.”

Rebecca said the feeling was mutual. And when Ubah noted that she thought Rebecca was very New Yorker, Rebecca replied, “Well, 20 years.” Two decades ago is a long time to make a name for yourself.

As they drank coffee—a large black Americano for Rebecca, a latte for Ubah, and an espresso martini for Erin—the women settled into girl talk.All in all, it was a pleasant first meeting.

“I knew you guys would love each other,” Erin said.

“She’s a good matchmaker,” agreed Rebecca, mother of four.

Being in the same fashion universe, Rebecca knew about Jenna Lyons and Sai DeSilva. She would also meet Jessel Taank, Brynn and the new season 15 housewife, Racquel Chevremont, an art curator and model.

At first, all the ladies at the party played nice. But tThe evening eventually took a turn for the worse as simmering tensions between Brynn, Sai and Erin boiled over.
