Carole Radziwill’s Parking Habits Draw Scrutiny from NYC Sanitation

Radziwill’s return to the Bravo series has been defined by controversy, ranging from her personal life to her disregard for municipal parking regulations. In a recent episode, the author confessed to keeping ConEd cones in her vehicle, deploying them to shield her SUV from citations when parked illegally or near fire hydrants. She described the tactic as a "cop family hack," though the city’s sanitation department maintains that such behavior directly hinders their ability to clear litter from the streets.

An investigation by the New York Post revealed that Radziwill accumulated $7,587.79 in fines since October 2020. While she insists her debts are settled and refers to the fines as part of a "New York ritual," the Department of Sanitation issued a public statement inviting the star to advocate for cleaner neighborhoods rather than obstructing maintenance efforts. Andy Cohen, the show’s executive producer, weighed in on the situation via social media, jokingly labeling his star a "menace" to the city for the attention her parking habits have garnered.

Beyond her traffic woes, Radziwill’s season 16 arc includes intense scrutiny regarding her past association with Ghislaine Maxwell. While she has denied any connection to Jeffrey Epstein, the reality star continues to navigate public pressure and accusations from co-stars, characterizing the ongoing criticism of her reputation as harassment by online detractors.
