'RHONY' Star Brynn Whitfield Criticizes Jessel Taank for Hiring a Photographer for Her Children's Birthday Party (Exclusive)

The Real Housewives of New York City is heating up! On tonight's episode of the Bravo series, the ladies of the Big Apple continue to enjoy their trip to Puerto Rico, that is until they begin to air out their grievances with each other. In this exclusive clip, Erin Lichy gets the ball rolling, asking Jessel Taank why she's upset with Brynn Whitfield.

While at dinner, Taank recalls a moment when Whitfield stepped in front of her for a photo opp, which upset her deeply. "The kids eat dinner at 6, like I have to go home," Taank explains in her confessional. "But then she jumps in front of me because guess what? Her puppy needs her!"

However, Whitfield isn't buying this, calling out Taank's emphasis on her image and constantly hiring photographers. "I feel sometimes with you, it's a lot of like, the kid's birthday ... photographers! Your birthday ... photographers!"

One housewife who has Taank's back? Jenna Lyons. In a confessional, she says, "I don't know why she's giving Jessel sh-t." She goes on to say that Taank is living out "every girl's dream," and that Whitfield is just "poking" at Jessel.

When Taank asks Whitfield for specific moments that may have rubbed her the wrong way, Brynn explains, "You take pictures that we all take together and then give them to People," referring to photos from Taank's birthday party that debuted on People Magazine.
