Quick answer: On the November 3 RHONY: After Show, Sai De Silva said she and Daisy Toye had a long estrangement after working together at a club, described the younger Daisy as “a little bit of a hater,” and said she has always known her as Nicole (Reality Blurb). Daisy said there was no specific falling-out and that she took the name Daisy because another Nicole worked at her salon.
The Sai and Daisy story on The Real Housewives of New York City was sold as a friendship of more than 20 years. In Season 16, that history has become the fight.
What Sai said about Daisy
According to Reality Blurb, Sai said the two met working at a club, then went a very long time without speaking. She suggested they may have had no contact from around 2006 until they reconnected.
Sai said she mostly knew Daisy as a friend for nights out. She also said that, in those years, Daisy would talk about other people. Now that Season 16 has finished filming, Sai said, she feels that earlier version of Daisy is coming back.
The name question
The name discussion began when castmate Hailey Glassman claimed that “Daisy” had been Daisy’s middle name before she married husband Eugene Toye, Reality Blurb reports. Sai disputed that it was her middle name.
Sai said Daisy’s family and husband know her as Nicole. She also recalled confronting Daisy about a name card reading “Daisy” at an event a couple of years ago. Sai added that she suspects Martha Stewart is the only person who actually calls her Daisy, though she believes Stewart knows her real name too.
Daisy’s side of the story
Daisy’s account was far less dramatic. She said nothing specific ended the friendship, and that they lost touch for a few years after they stopped working together and their social circles changed.
She also said the two had grown extremely close over the past year and a half, spending nearly every day together because their sons are best friends.
As for the name, Daisy said she started using it because another Nicole worked at her salon.
How the feud got here
The After Show comments came a week after another round of tension. In the scene discussed on the October 27 After Show, Sai was trying to get Carole Radziwill’s attention when Daisy told her to stop yelling for Carole. Afterward, Sai said Daisy had talked down to her and was trying to turn the group against her, while Daisy said Sai had been out to get her and that she had been trying to protect her (Reality Blurb).
