Lizzy Savetsky, a fashion influencer from Fort Worth with over 200,000 followers on Instagram, is set to join the Bravo show, Page Six reported.
The NYU-educated mother of three, who is married to Dr. Ira Savetsky, a plastic surgeon, publicly shares her support for Israel, her Jewish faith and more on social media.
The 36-year-old has also recently gone public about her struggle with alcohol, which Page Six noted has become a common issue among the housewives.
The most recent season of "RHONY" ended with a "messy behind-the-scenes deadlock" among housewives, according to the outlet. Bravo then fired the entire cast, with the intention of bringing some of the original cast back in a separate "legacy" show.
A source told Page Six that "Bravo found people aren’t responding as well to the constant bickering and fighting of the [previous] cast," adding that "they’re hoping that this new cast will be a bit more inspiring and attract the younger audience."
Savetsky will now be one of the new women on the series, replacing Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Eboni K. Williams and Leah McSweeney, who is "already strong in the influencer space, and they are more aspirational," the source said.
They added, "They're women who have their own brands,or at least strong Instagram followings."
