Alicia Carmody stirred speculation about a potential breakup through her Instagram Story on Friday.
Though the posts were soon removed, the Real Housewives of Rhode Island personality had already raised eyebrows. She hinted that her long-term partner, Billy Kitsilis, might be taking financial liberties without her consent and that someone was exploiting her likeness for profit. This left many convinced that she was considering ending the relationship.
In her initial post on May 15, shared via Sutton’s Roller on X, Alicia queried, “Asking for a friend? Is it acceptable if your partner takes your money to pay bills without your consent, and you never see your money or paycheck?”
She followed up with a second, now-deleted post, asking, “Asking for a friend, is it standard for someone to use your image and story for a business without you receiving any financial benefit?”
After Sutton’s Roller posted the screenshots on X, fans weighed in, many of whom were convinced that both of her messages were about Billy.
“Relationship problems?! We need [Andy Cohen] and a camera!” one person declared.
“She’s gonna leave him omg yaaaaassss,” said another.
“She lives in a common-law marriage state. They’ve been together 10 years even if she leaves she still gets half,” posted a third.
Others shared excitement over a “single Alicia” on RHORI season two as they noted that they hoped that she could see her “value and worth.”
“This is a big issue … she needs to get smarter and the money she makes from housewives needs to be in a separate account… no more acting dumb about stuff,” another X user stated.
During an episode of Watch What Happens Live at the end of last month, Alicia, who previously expressed frustration with her name not being on the house that she lives in with Billy and their daughter, Celina, was asked if he gave her an allowance.
“[Billy] gives me credit cards. I just like cash in the house. I like a wad of cash. I hate that I have to ask him. I feel like every Friday, you restock that cash. I want it in the house in the drawer,” Alicia shared on the April 19 episode of WWHL.
Then, in regard to why she hadn’t yet married Billy, she added. “I kind of felt like after not getting my name on the house, I was like, kind of like vindictive, like, ‘Okay, so you can’t have me.’ But I’m not leaving. He’s the best guy. Where am I going?”
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island season one airs Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo.
