Eboni K. Williams is under fire after jumping on stage in the middle of Chanel Omari’s All Star Comedy Show presented by the Chanel in the City podcast in New York City.
As she enjoyed a night out with Real Housewives of New York City alum Barbara Kavovit and former Real Housewives of Orange County castmate Braunwyn Windham Burke, Eboni took issue with comedian Sam Bloomstone after he referred to her table as the “JCPenney collection.”
After some back and forth, Eboni got out of her seat, walked to the stage, and grabbed the mic from Sam, who quickly said, “I put my life savings that whatever you are going to say is nothing funny.”
But she was undeterred.
“It’s not about being funny, b-tch. What it’s about is you respecting a motherf–king Black queen,” Eboni told him. “What we don’t do is JCPenney b-tch, OK? A b-tch like me, you gotta respect, bro — on your worst day.”
Eboni then slapped Sam on his butt and informed him that she was actually wearing Italian designers.
“I’m sure a bunch of Italians have been inside, don’t worry,” he shot back.

Despite the drama, an insider told Page Six, “All the Housewives, especially Eboni, had a great time. They love Sam and think he’s hilarious.” And after facing backlash on Twitter, Eboni insisted her behavior was all in good fun.
“Come on Eboni…nobody looks good when they are disruptive at a comedy show, can’t deal with a slight roast you were asking for, and then demands respect and smacks the a– of comic making [$30] to be there. This is cringe and who the eff goes to a nyc comedy show to be respected??” one person wondered.
“It was all a joke…no clue why everyone is taking this all so seriously. As you accurately said…it was a comedy show…all in fun,” Eboni replied.
Comedian Rae Sanni also had some choice words for the RHONY star, telling her, “You don’t get on stage during a comic’s show. Even heckling is wild to begin with, but to get on stage and take the mic?! Wild.”
“Not really,” Eboni noted.
“I’m a stand up comedian. Like, professionally. I’m telling you that behavior is wild. It’s disrespectful and disruptive to the show,” Rae said further.
“I disagree,” Eboni clapped back. “It was a charity armature night. It was all fun…not the same as you performing at a professional show.”
Eboni also shared a post in which she confirmed she and Sam actually hung out after the show.
“It was a fun night ya’ll,” she insisted. “Relax…the comedian joined us all for dinner and more drinks later. And yes, I was drinking before I took the mic. Sorry I’m not perfect and had a little fun.”
The Real Housewives of New York City was put on hiatus following a reunion cancellation and a lackluster 13th season.
