Sai de Silva Tries to Walk Back Her Comments to Madison LeCroy

Sai de Silva is doing some damage control — Bravo-style. The “Real Housewives of New York” star is finally addressing the messy back-and-forth with Madison LeCroy, after the “Southern Charm” cast member publicly branded her “the meanest girl she’s ever met.”

The drama reignited at BravoCon 2025 when Madison doubled down on her comment, prompting Sai to clap back online claiming she had never met her.

“You must have me confused, not all brown people look alike,” Sai wrote on Instagram — a comment she would later attempt to walk back.

Madison responded by posting a photo of the two sitting inches apart at a BravoCon 2023 panel… along with leaked DMs showing Sai calling her “unmemorable.”

Sai de Silva Clarifies (Sort Of) What Happened With Madison LeCroy

During an appearance on “Jeff Lewis Live,” Sai attempted to explain why she insisted she didn’t know Madison in the first place.

“I see her clip at BravoCon, and I go… who is this girl? Yeah, I don’t know her,” Sai said. She admitted she had been “a little tipsy” and fired off her Instagram Story without thinking it through.

Sai defended her controversial line — “you must have gotten your brown girls mixed up” — by pointing out that she and her RHONY castmate Jessel Taank were repeatedly mistaken for each other all weekend. Still, she acknowledged she could have phrased it differently.

“I’m gonna take accountability here because I could have said that differently,” Sai said. “People were confused.”

Sai eventually conceded that she did meet Madison — she just didn’t remember the encounter until she saw the footage.

“When she was on Jeff Lewis, she says that we talked about Amazon, we talked about blogging… and then I said, ‘Oh my god, yes. I do remember that,’” Sai explained. “So how am I mean if we actually had a conversation?”

Madison, however, has her own take.

Speaking with ET, she confirmed Sai has not reached out since the footage resurfaced. When pressed on calling Sai “the meanest person,” Madison shrugged.

“I should have corrected myself and said she’s just really mean,” she said. “And now… it checks out.”

Madison insisted she felt the energy shift during their 2023 panel. “She wasn’t Southern, you know,” Madison added. “She didn’t have a warm welcome… I could read that she was not a fan of me. I see the devil in that girl.”
