Now Page Six is reporting the alleged comment that launched the investigation. During a fight at lunch, LuAnn de Lesseps kicked Eboni out of her Hamptons home, to which, Ramona allegedly said, “This is why we shouldn’t have Black people on the show.” Ramona immediately denied it, but… like… shetotallysaidit(allegedly)…
