Radziwill addressed the Post's report that her SUV accumulated 83 traffic violations, including 17 for parking offenses over six years, resulting in nearly $8,000 in fines. The reality star shared a photo of the cover on Instagram, captioning it, "I’m on the cover of my hometown paper?! This is like a fever dream."
She further commented on her parking habits, stating, "I ♥️ the traffic cops. I ♥️ my city and I ♥️ the New York Post." Radziwill also jokingly added, "(Btw, I only overslept 17 times in 6 years? I deserve a 🗝️ to the city) Beep, beep, bitches. 🚗🚗" The star clarified that she has paid all her tickets and supports the Department of Sanitation.
The New York Post report highlighted Radziwill's use of an expired FDNY union placard on her dashboard and Con Ed traffic cones, which she previously mentioned on "RHONY" as a method to avoid parking tickets. During an episode, she explained, "The cone is a cop family hack. If I’m parked illegally or slightly too close to a hydrant, they will keep on walking."
Radziwill, who initially starred on "RHONY" from Season 5 through Season 10, returned for the current 16th season. The show also features returning cast members Sai de Silva, Erin Lichy, and Jessel Taank, along with newcomers Hailey Glassman, Erika Hammond, and Daisy Toye. Radziwill has also been in the news this season for her name appearing in the Epstein files and her defense of her late friend Carolyn Bessette.
