Jessel Taank, a newcomer to the Real Housewives of New York City franchise, is taking steps to address the situation. Despite reports from Page Six claiming that she was seen vomiting on the red carpet during the RHONY season 14 premiere party on July 12, Taank reassured fans that her illness was not a result of excessive alcohol consumption.

"I really wish I were intoxicated!" exclaimed the new Bravolebrity in response to Page Six's Instagram post on Thursday, July 13. "Unfortunately, it's just a stomach bug, folks...nothing noteworthy."

Taank wasn't the sole victim of a severe stomach virus this week. She posted a photo on her Instagram Story on Thursday, showing her husband, Pavit Randhawa, holding one of their twin sons while mentioning that both of them had also fallen ill. (Taank and Randhawa are parents to two-year-old twin boys, Kai and Rio.)

“I left the boys in Greece for the RHONY premiere and we ALL got a stomach bug,” she wrote alongside the photo. “So glad these lil guys are feeling better today .”

(l-r) Jessel Taank, Erin Lichy, and Sai De Silva gracefully attended the season premiere of 'The Real Housewives of New York City', despite Taank not being in the best of health. Taank, along with her fellow new franchise members Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, and Brynn Whitfield, confidently posed for numerous red carpet photos. Taank exuded glamour in a stunning gold cutout gown designed by Christopher Kane, complemented by elegant fringe drop earrings.

Taank is not only a member of the first all-new RHONY cast since season 1 premiered in 2008, but she is also the first Indian cast member in the show's history. In an interview with Vogue India published on Tuesday, July 11, the fashion publicist expressed her "truly honored" feeling about having this distinction.

Initially, she felt a great deal of pressure representing a culture that is already underrepresented on national television. However, throughout this journey, she has gained valuable insights and learned important lessons that have helped her understand the importance of simply being herself.

Taank said that she adds a significant amount of shock factor to the show through her discussions on taboo subjects. She mentioned that she divulges personal details about her experiences with conceiving and life after childbirth, and viewers will get an understanding of the challenges of balancing life as a working mother of twins in New York City. The fourteenth season of The Real Housewives of New York City will debut on Sunday, July 16th, on Bravo.
