A chance encounter between two Bravo personalities turned into a chaotic — and unexpectedly funny — moment, according to “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island” star Alicia Carmody.
During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s “Page Six Radio,” Carmody shared the story of how she unexpectedly crossed paths with former “The Real Housewives of New York City” cast member Carole Radziwill — and completely lost her cool in the process.
Alicia Carmody Says Fans Kept Comparing Her to Carole Radziwill
Carmody explained that the comparisons had been building long before the moment happened in real life.
“Everyone [was] writing to me, ‘You look just like Carole,’” Alicia said, referencing her social media DMs. “I saw her at the Berkshires. My glam squad did her hair and makeup.”
She added, “We talked. We connected.”
The connection didn’t end there — and that’s where things quickly escalated.
A Chance Encounter Turned Into a Chaotic Moment

The RHORI star added, “She looked – she must have been scared.” Alicia explained that she was hanging out the window, continuing to scream at the RHONY star.
“‘It’s Alicia from the Real Housewives of Rhode Island! People think we look [alike]!’” Alicia said.
“I got like all crazy. [I yelled], ‘They did your makeup in here!’ She was, like, so startled.” She added, “And I was like, ‘I love you! We’re twins! Bye!’”
RHORI — and Alicia — Are Already Winning Over Fans
GettyWhile the moment itself played out off-camera, Carmody’s personality is clearly resonating with viewers — and fast.
Across social media, fans have been quick to embrace the RHORI newcomer, with many calling her one of the standout personalities from the new franchise.
“I love @aliciacarmodyri!! She’s one of the breakout stars of RHORI,” one fan wrote.
“Like I told you last night, you are the star of the show!!! Stay real Girl..❤️❤️❤️,” another added.
Others kept it simple:
“I’m so obsessed with her.”
“Alicia is hilarious 😍”
Even Bravo’s official account chimed in on the crossover moment, commenting, “Our worlds are colliding! 🤩”
The reaction points to a bigger trend: “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island” may be new, but it’s already starting to carve out its place in the Bravo universe — and Carmody is a major reason why.
A Bravo Crossover Fans Didn’t See Coming
Carmody’s story also comes at an interesting time for longtime Bravo fans.
Radziwill is set to appear as a “friend” in Season 16 of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” bringing her back into the mix after stepping away from the franchise.
The unexpected overlap between franchises — with a current RHORI cast member and a returning RHONY personality — adds a fun crossover moment that viewers don’t often get.
A Moment That Feels Straight Out of the Bravo Universe
From mistaken identity to an impromptu roadside shout, Carmody’s story feels like something straight out of a Housewives episode — even though it happened entirely in real life.
And if early fan reactions are any indication, moments like this are exactly why viewers are already locking in on both RHORI and its emerging stars.
For now, fans will have to wait and see whether Carmody and Radziwill ever reconnect in a calmer setting.
But one thing is clear: Alicia Carmody isn’t just having viral moments — she’s quickly becoming one of the most talked-about new faces in the Bravo world.
