(Jewish Group) 'Real Housewives' star hit with backlash after blurting out anti-Semitic trope [View all]

An actress and model who hosts a popular podcast has drawn rebuke for trafficking in an anti-Semitic trope, The New York Post reports on its celebrity gossip Page Six.

Gizelle Bryant, the “Real Housewives of Potomac” star during a conversation on the “Reasonably Shady” podcast with co-host Robyn Dixon said “the Rubinsteins” would be paying for pricey Drake concert tickets, using a common Jewish name in an apparent attempt to associate the religion with monetary wealth.

“They are paying for their little child and their friends to go sit on the floor and see Drake,” she said.

Dixon is heard laughing saying “right” several times.

First, who?! Second, gee, this is the first I have heard of it being anti-Semitic to refer to Jews as monied peoples and brokers of power through wealth. Thankfully, no one on our side would ever make such a mistake. Do I really[/]i need the tag?!
