New ‘RHONY’ star Eboni K. Williams to debut as first black cast member

Seven years ago, Eboni K. Williams was broke. Trying to transition from being a lawyer to a TV personality, she was living in Los Angeles and working mostly for free as a commentator at places like the NFL Network, just to get experience.

“It was the last $340 I had. I could have either paid my car payment or bought a [ticket] to New York to interview with CBS,” she told The Post. Making the “ultimate bet” on herself, Williams opted to audition as a national correspondent role for the network. “My car was repossessed by the time I got back, but that was OK because CBS gave me the job.”
