Almost a decade after a thrown plastic cup cut her lip in the process The Real Housewives of New York trip to Montana, Taekman injured herself again — this time, losing a toenail during a trip to St. Barts.

The gruesome injury happened in episode 5 Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacywhich premiered Thursday on the Peacock.

Taekman, 46, was surfing with actresses Luann de Lesseps, Kelly Bensimon and Dorinda Medley when she noticed her left big toe nail was hanging off. “Oh my God, my toenail just popped out,” she told the producer, who was called a medic.

The mother of two went on to explain that she stubbed her toe “badly” about six months before the trip. “For a while, the toenail was fine,” she said.[But on] on the second day of dancing in St. Barts noticed that the toenail was a little loose.”

After seeking advice from an EMT named Frank, it was determined that Taekman’s toenail “could come off completely” because “at this point, it’s not really.”

“I think you have to take it off. I think you just have to take it off,” Taekman said, biting her finger and screaming in agony as Frank examined the wound with a scalpel. “Oh my God, that hurt. Oh my God! Just rip it off!”

“Can you make some rosé? As legal. I need some wine,” pleaded the model while looking at her RHONY costars for support. “Can someone come and hold my hand?”

Medley answered the call, though she admitted it was more because she was “in love with the ER guy.”

“So if I ever need a toenail pulled, I’ll call you. Maybe you should give me your number?” she cheekily told him, as he joked, “You have to lose your toenail first.”

“Let me think about it,” said Medley, 59. “I’m going to need some blood to get his number.”

Meanwhile, Taekman continued to scream in pain as Frank began to remove the nail.

Morgan, Medley and Ramona Singer looked on in disgust, squirming at the sight. “Give her a pain pill!” Singer, 67, shouted as Morgan, 60, mimicked the sound of vomiting. “I can feel it,” Medley winced.

She was then left to confine herself from the beach, jokingly teasing her colleagues for leaving her hanging. “So, so cute, this group,” she said. “And you wonder why people travel with their husbands…”

Taekmen opened up about the injury — which she called a “neck on her toes” — in a video posted to her Instagram on Thursday.

While getting ready, she explained that she and her housemates were “dancing in the sand” when she suddenly noticed (with a gag) that her toenail was “rising” and that there was “sand” underneath it.

She said she then volunteered to surf first “because I looked down at my toe and the whole thing was up and up. So gross.”

“The minute I got out of the water, you see me go to the production person and say, ‘Uh, guys — I’ve got to take care of this.’ ”

Taekman, who left RHONY in 2016, she also took the moment to clarify that she had been surfing before the trip, and blamed the editing for “not looking like a good surfer”.

“For the record, I stood up many times, and they never showed it. So whatever,” she said after sharing that she had previously surfed in Costa Rica, Hawaii and the Hamptons.
