People are slating this controversial Real Housewives star as she goes on a political rant
Not just her, but her husband, too
It’s not every day a reality TV personality steps into politics so boldly that eyebrows raise, tweets fly, and commentary explodes.
But that’s exactly what happened when Lizzy Savetsky made waves with some very pointed remarks about the New York mayoral race.
Known for her social media presence and originally linked to the The Real Housewives of New York City franchise, Lizzy has shifted gears from matchmaker-influencer to full-on political provocateur.
Controversial Lizzy left RHONY
Before the tweets and the political commentary, Lizzy was set to join RHONY’s rebooted cast.
But, she exited the show before properly appearing on it amid backlash, ultimately deciding the reality TV path wasn’t the right fit for her and her family, per Page Six.
With that chapter behind her, she’s now leveraged her platform to voice strong opinions on Jewish identity, activism and, yes, politics. Her pivot from reality TV to influencer-activist appears to have been pretty quick.
Now people are slating her political rant
So what sparked the latest uproar? Lizzy took to social media and delivered a frank critique of the mayoral race in New York, calling out the current candidates and the direction the city is heading.
In an Instagram video, she referred to Zohran Mamdani as “Zohran the moron,” highlighting her stance clearly.
Another of her posts was also reshared on X/Twitter, stirring further debate with her call to action and dissatisfaction with the status quo.
Online commentators and political watchers were quick to pick up on her controversial remarks. Some applauded her willingness to speak up; others slammed her message and called Lizzy and her husband, Ira Savetsky, “racist.”
