RHONY’s Erin Lichy Teases Who’s In the ‘Hot Seat’ During Season 16 Reunion

The Real Housewives of New York City’s Erin Lichy is hellbent on not being the only Housewife in the season 16 reunion hot seat.

“Yeah, I won’t be the only one,” Erin, 39, exclusively teased to Us on Tuesday, September 1, ahead of the hit Bravo show’s highly-anticipated Tuesday, September 8, season 16 premiere.

“I can tell you that — and actually, there are people that I will be putting in the hot seat as well,” she added. “Big time.”

Bravo fans met Erin in 2023 after she joined the rebooted season 14 RHONY cast. She’ll return for season 16 alongside costars Sai de Silva, Jessel Taank and Carole Radziwill, who previously appeared on seasons 5 through 10. New Housewives Hailey Glasman, Daisy Toye and Erika Hammond will also be joining the fold.

While Erin declined to dish on what is sure to be a drama-filled reunion, Us also spoke exclusively to Jessel, 46, who was also quick to tease a very full reunion hot seat.

“I think it’s going to be a mixture between Erin and Daisy, 50/50 equal,” Jessel exclusively told Us on Tuesday. “Actually, no, I take that back — 70/30. Seventy Erin, 30 Daisy.”

As the Housewives prepare for the season 16 premiere and the upcoming reunion, Jessel shared her advice for the women who are new to filming a hit reality TV series.

“I feel like my biggest piece of advice is just be authentic, because the audience can see right through you,” she told Us. “You guys are way smarter than you know we could consider or believe. So I think it’s like they can smell through the bulls***, and I think the minute you try to be something you’re not, it really shows.”

As for her well-known and admitted pot-stirring costar Erin, the real estate agent and entrepreneur is continuing to ignore the comments section and the lingering misconceptions fans have about her character.

“I don’t really give a s*** what people think about me,” she teased on Tuesday, before admitting, “No, I’m kidding. Sometimes I do.”

She added, “I feel like people think that I’m so pampered, and I have worked so hard. I was not given anything. I mean, I definitely grew up in a comfortable way, and I grew up in New York City with a lot of opportunity but I have worked my ass off. And sometimes I feel like people don’t really realize that — a lot of people do, but a lot of people don’t. That kind of bugs me a little, but I’ll show them all.”

Season 16 of The Real Housewives of New York City premieres on Tuesday, September 8 at 8/7c on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.
