Carole Radziwill Makes the New York Post Cover! RHONY Star Caught Up in an $8,000 Parking Ticket Controversy!

The Reality Rundown | October 20, 2026

Well, well, well! Look who made the front page of the New York Post! Former Real Housewives of New York City star Carole Radziwill is making headlines, and it's not because of a glamorous party, a new boyfriend, or another Housewives argument.

It's about PARKING TICKETS!

Yes, you read that correctly! Carole Radziwill has reportedly accumulated nearly $8,000 in parking and traffic violations since 2020, and now everybody has something to say about it.

Honey—wait a minute! Eight thousand dollars? That's somebody's rent money!

Carole, What Is Going On With Your Parking?

According to the New York Post, Carole received numerous parking violations, including 17 tickets for failing to move her vehicle during street cleaning.

But that's not all!

Carole has also discussed using orange traffic cones to help save parking spaces. The newspaper reported finding an expired FDNY parking placard displayed in her Jeep.

Now, excuse me! Are we talking about a former Real Housewife or somebody running their own private parking lot in New York City?

Because this story is getting ridiculous!

Carole Isn't Embarrassed About the Headlines!

Now, here's where things get interesting.

Instead of hiding from the controversy, Carole appeared to enjoy the attention.

She even joked about purchasing copies of the newspaper and using them as wallpaper.

Girl—well, excuse me, Carole! Most people would be trying to stay away from the cameras, but you're ready to decorate your house with the headlines!

Andy Cohen also reacted to the story, joking about Carole's parking habits.

And I have one question: Is this going to become another storyline on RHONY?

Because you already know these ladies can turn the smallest disagreement into a three-episode argument!

Carole Says She Paid Her Tickets!

Now, let's be fair.

Carole has maintained that she paid her parking fines. She also suggested that paying occasional tickets can be cheaper than paying hundreds of dollars every month for a parking garage in Manhattan.

And I understand that New York City parking is expensive.

But here's my question.

If you can afford to live in one of the most expensive cities in America, why are you collecting parking tickets like they're loyalty reward points?

At some point, somebody needs to move that Jeep!

Is Carole Becoming RHONY's New Controversy Queen?

Carole Radziwill has always been known for speaking her mind.

During her years on The Real Housewives of New York City, she had friendships, disagreements, and memorable confrontations with other cast members.

Now she's back in the headlines, and the parking controversy has given fans something else to discuss.

And let's not forget, Carole has also faced renewed public questions about her past association with Ghislaine Maxwell.

Between those discussions and this parking situation, Carole certainly has people talking.

But are these headlines helping her public image or making people question her behavior?

My Reality Rundown Opinion

I'm sitting here laughing because I never thought I would be writing a reality television blog about somebody's parking tickets!

We have Housewives fighting over relationships, friendships, money, marriages, and designer handbags.

And now we're talking about traffic cones and street cleaning!

Only in New York!

But seriously, I believe everybody should follow the same parking rules, whether they're famous or not.

Paying a ticket doesn't necessarily make it acceptable to keep breaking the rules.

And if Carole thinks paying fines is cheaper than renting a garage, that's her explanation. But other New Yorkers still have to deal with parking restrictions and street-cleaning schedules.

Let's Talk About It!

I have a few questions for my RHONY fans:

1. Do you think Carole Radziwill's parking controversy is being blown out of proportion?
2. Would you rather pay parking tickets or spend $800 a month on a parking garage?
3. Should celebrities be held to the same parking rules as everybody else?
4. Do you think this controversy will become part of the RHONY drama?
5. Is Carole enjoying the publicity a little too much?

Drop your opinions in the comments!

Because I want to know whether you think Carole is being unfairly criticized or whether somebody needs to take those traffic cones away!
