Erin Lichy Reveals the ‘Crazy’ Pregnancy Prank Details
Erin Lichy, one of the vibrant stars from ‘The Real Housewives of New York’, recently dropped a bombshell about a rather outrageous prank during an interview. Lichy described how she and fellow cast member Rebecca Minkoff concocted a wild scheme to make the other cast members believe Minkoff was pregnant — but here’s the kicker: the father was a mystery. This little escapade unfolded just before a group dodgeball match at Bravo Fan Fest in Miami, so you can imagine the antics! She recounted that she joined in on this strange plan not because she’d lost her marbles but to expose the gossipers in the group. “I thought it was kind of a crazy idea to make that rumor about yourself. But I was down to carry it out because I wanted to see who the pigeons really were,” Lichy told PEOPLE during the event. What could possibly go wrong, right?
The Consequences of the Prank Unfold
But what started as a lighthearted joke quickly spiraled into what can only be described as a mini soap opera episode. As the gag unfolded, Lichy and Minkoff found themselves in hot water when the other housewives began to feel betrayed. You see, unbeknownst to Lichy, Brynn Whitfield had been in on the joke the whole time, which threw a serious spanner in the works when the truth emerged. Lichy herself was accused of gaslighting the group — a term that seems to get tossed around more than a beach ball at a summer picnic lately. To add fuel to the fire, housewife Sai De Silva threw down some harsh truths in her confessional, pointing out that with three members of the group currently hopeful for their own baby news, the timing couldn’t have been worse. “Maybe Rebecca and Erin need to possibly check their baby privilege at the door,” she said, summing it up with a side-eye nobody would miss.
Real Family News Amidst Prank Drama
But! There’s a delightful twist to this tale. While Minkoff isn’t expecting, Lichy actually is — with baby number four on the way! Yes, you heard it right. Her family is excited to welcome another addition, joining sons Levi (9), Elijah (4), and daughter Layla (7). As Lichy humorously noted, her kids have been practically on their knees begging for another sibling. “They were begging me to get pregnant, begging! ‘Please, we really want another baby,’” she shared. Ah yes, nothing like sibling pressure, but that’s what you get for being a housewife! In a nod to the melodrama around the prank, Lichy confirmed Abe, her husband of 42 years, is the father, all while playfully admitting that her cravings are healthier this time around — except for that persistent love for carbs. “It’s harder because I’m just more exhausted by everybody,” she jested, clearly relishing in the chaos that is motherhood.
In an unexpected twist of playful mischief, Erin Lichy decided to play along with a rather outrageous pregnancy prank during season updates of ‘The Real Housewives of New York’. The original intent was to sniff out the group’s gossipers, but it quickly morphed into a spattering chaos of accusations and misunderstandings. Just as the dust settled from that prank, the real news broke: Lichy is pregnant with her fourth child! Truly, a story full of juicy moments and entertaining revelations for fans to celebrate.
