NYC DNA Testing had the pleasure to help Eboni Williams find closure and performed this collection from the comfort of her own home. While this appearance was done for the reality television series 'Real Housewives of New York', NYC DNA Testing regularly performs discrete, legally admissible DNA tests for high profile individuals in New York City who need the privacy and discretion.
Eboni K. Williams, on "The Real Housewives of New York City," sought to confirm a potential biological sister. Eboni K. Williams is finding her family. Or at least, who might be her family. In this episode of The Real Housewives of New York City, the lawyer turned TV host FaceTimes with a woman named Ashley, whom she believes to be her half-sister. Ashley has agreed to get a DNA test to see if she and Eboni do in fact share the same father, a man named Kenneth.
"Kenneth is Ashley's father," Eboni explains in a confessional. "I did not have a relationship with Kenneth. My mother, during our trips to see her family in Louisiana, knowing that he could potentially be my dad, we had a handful of visits."
"I don't even know how to act, 'cause I've never seen you on the video!" Eboni exclaims once the call is started. "You're beautiful. ... I'm tripping! I don't know. This is, like, so crazy to me."
"This is a long time coming, this DNA test with Ashley," she goes on to share in an interview. "My whole life, since I was 6, you know, there's been rumors and suspicion. So, to be able to have fact-based evidence around who my family is, I can't wait."
"I appreciate you, Ashley, for being willing to go through this journey with me," Eboni tells her potential sister. "I realize the little bit of family I have is dwindling, and before it's too late, Ashley, I want to make every effort -- at least the effort -- to see if I have additional family out there. Even when you told me Kenneth had passed, that didn't even really deter me, because it's still family."
As RHONY viewers know, Eboni's grandmother died not long before she filmed this FaceTime call, leaving the 37-year-old with just one known living blood relative, her mother. When reflecting on the recent death of her potential father, Kenneth, though, Eboni says the news didn't really affect her.
"I thought I was gonna get heartbroken by that, like, 'Oh no! He passed!' It… it, I mean, no shade to him, it just didn’t faze me because there's still beyond, the family beyond, him," she tells Ashley. It's a sentiment to which Ashley agrees, admitting that she, too, didn't feel hurt when Kenneth died.
DNA test yielded a negative result, however, Eboni later discovered her biological father and has since connected with two half-sisters!
