Quick Summary

Daisy Toye, a newcomer to "Real Housewives of New York City" (RHONY), explains in an interview that she would not want Martha Stewart, her close friend and occasional makeup client, to become a full-time cast member because she prefers their relationship without the stress of reality TV. During RHONY Season 16, Stewart has made several guest appearances and seems entertained by watching herself on the show, according to Toye. The article also clarifies a recent controversy where Stewart's brief appearance at a dinner with the RHONY cast was misinterpreted as an attempt to avoid paying for her meal, which Toye dismisses as unfounded.
