RHONY: We finally know who was pregnant in the trailer... And it was all a lie
By Lacey Womack
So... Remember that season 15 trailer for The Real Housewives of New York where Jessel Taank was heard talking about how someone "ended up getting pregnant by some other guy"?
And Sai De Silva said she "almost died" when she found out the whole story? And even Andy Cohen spoke up about how scandalous the news was going to be?
The episode finally aired and, well, it looks like the pregnancy rumors were all a prank. Fans are not thrilled and this comes after a full season of criticism from fans about how Bravo's attempt at rebooting The Real Housewives of New York has been dull and, according to Bethenny Frankel, maybe even "unwatchable."
On the November 12 episode of RHONY, Erin Lichy -- who also coincidentally announced her own pregnancy on the same day that the episode aired -- told fellow housewives Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield that Rebecca Minkoff was pregnnat and that her husband, Gavin, was possibly not the father.
According to Erin, she found out through a mutual friend and told the group that Rebecca was stressed out about it after having a "crazy night" because she didn't know which man was the father. "It's very, very early on and she's really stressed about it," she told them.
Things get a little crazy during the episode when Brynn Whitfield spills the beans to a couple other housewives and eventually, the whole cast finds out and while everyone was gossipping, Jenna Lyons thought that they went too far by bringing family members and children into their gossip, which means it was no surprise that Jenna went to Rebecca to warn her later about what everyone was saying about her.
Rebecca, outraged that Erin told them, stormed off of the dodgeball field and Erin followed after her but once the two of them were out of the view of the other housewives, they had a laugh about what a "good one" that was.
Although Erin Lichy and Rebecca Minkoff might be proud of the prank they pulled on the rest of the cast, fans are not feeling it. On Watch What Happens Live, even Andy Cohen and guest Jeff Lewis said they're not fans of prank storylines.
But, it's entirely possible that there's more to this than it seems. Although Erin and Rebecca seemed to be pranking the other housewives, Brynn did claim that she spoke to a friend of Gavin's who said that Rebecca and Gavin have some kind of arrangement, so if that's true, there might be more drama to come.
