New RHONY star Rebecca Minkoff is a hardcore Scientologist who rubbed shoulders with Danny Masterson and has donated MILLIONS to the church - while her doctor dad was implicated in horrifying wrongful death lawsuit of Lisa McPherson


The Real Housewives of New York City may have found its most controversial cast member yet in fashion designer and avowed Scientologist Rebecca Minkoff.

Last year, Minkoff was named as an arbitrator in a lawsuit by former Scientologist Valerie Haney, who claims she escaped the church in 2016 by hiding in the trunk of somebody's car to sneak out of the infamous Gold Base compound. She will be joining all of the returning stars from season 14, which includes Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield, as first reported by Deadline on Tuesday. Previously, Bravo introduced a whole new cast after viewership continued to decrease following the show's controversial 13th season, which was bogged down by polarizing political discussions about the 2020 presidential election and Black Lives Matter.
