Jessel Taank has signed with WME for representation in all areas.
Taank, a British-Indian television personality, entrepreneur and cultural commentator is best known for her breakout role on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City,” joining the series in 2023 during its highly-anticipated reboot. She quickly became a fan favorite, offering sharp wit, viral one-liners, emotional depth and a fresh perspective to one of reality television’s most iconic franchises.
With an extensive background in luxury fashion and brand strategy, Taank has led high-profile campaigns for top global fashion houses and held senior roles in media and PR. In 2024, she launched OUSHQ, a curated retail platform that merges the elegance of Indian and Middle Eastern fashion with a modern, global sensibility.
As “RHONY’s” first South Asian cast member, Taank reshaped the narrative with a blend of humor and authenticity. Taank was born in London and is now raising twin boys in New York City with her husband, Pavit.
Taank is expanding her influence across entertainment, lifestyle and entrepreneurial spaces with a growing slate of projects spanning unscripted television, brand partnerships, and cultural storytelling.
“Joining ‘RHONY’ was a pivotal moment that opened new doors in entertainment — but it’s just the beginning,” Taank says. “Partnering with WME gives me the platform to expand my creative vision across unscripted, scripted, and cross-platform storytelling. I’m excited to develop bold, innovative projects that challenge industry norms and shape the next chapter of my career.”
She continues to be represented by Stride Management & Kopeikin Law.
