'RHONY' Season 14: Erin Lichy slammed for questioning co-star's marriage after husband Abe says he would cheat for sex

Erin Lichy and her husband Abe discussed Jessel Taank's lack of sex life over dinner with Sai De Silva

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Erin Lichy and her husband, Abe Lichy, are under scrutiny as one of the newest 'The Real Housewives of New York City' couples.

So far, the pair has presented a unified face, as both appear to be engaging in their everyday lives.

Bravo viewers are yet to decide if they like Erin as a housewife, but Abe has had fans worry whether the Real Housewives curse will catch up with their marriage.

When asked what he would do if he were to find himself in a sexless marriage for more than a year, Abe gave a poorly thought-out response. 

Abe and Erin discussed Jessel Taank's lack of sex life over dinner with Sai De Silva and her husband.

David Craig, Sai's husband, questioned him, "If your wife did not have sex with you for a year and a half, what would happen?"

Abe said in less than a second, "I'd f*** other women."

Even though she laughed, Erin said, "I don’t appreciate his candor right now. He’s such a little s**t."

Fans could tell Erin had a realization when she realized her spouse could be looking for a new sex partner whenever she was having a bad day.

As fans find the couple gossiping about Jessel and Pavit, yet again in Episode 13, which aired on October 8, they quickly call out Erin for her hypocrisy.

When Pavit had to defend himself and his relationship with his wife after being accused of being "perhaps unfaithful" in the context of the PR guru flying to Vietnam "alone," Erin was reminded by the fans to focus on her own marriage.

On X, fans wrote, "Erin better watch how she speaks about Pavit & Jessel cause with the way abe is… "

Another person asked, "How did they twist what Pavit said? He literally said Jessel is his perfect complement because he can be himself with her and vice versa. It’s way better than David who’d leave Sai if they don’t have sex or Abe who would cheat on Erin for same."

Another user further commented, "This is so weird. These folks aren’t friends. This isn’t an episode of Friends. Why are Erin and Abe and Dave and Sai so invested in Jessel’s and Pavit’s sex life??? Eeew."

A user quipped, "They were sitting in silence with absolutely nothing to talk about so they pivot to discussing Jessel and pavit again. Now we’re pretending Abe and Erin are having sex like rabbits."

One user tweeted, "Why does Erin insist on bringing Abe into women business? Every time she tries to gossip with him for a gag, he embarrasses her. He’s probably about to book a trip for his damn self."

Another person chimed in, "Abe The Babe gives me the ick. Something in the buttermilk ain’t clean with him and Erin."

One person wrote, "Sooo Erin’s husband wants it all the time and she doesn’t wanna give it to him and her and sai are giving Jessel shit for not wanting to have sex with her husband after twins via IVF AND having postpartum depression? Ok, got it."

Others called out the couple saying, "So Sai’s husband scraped every detail about himself off the internet and Erin’s husband talks about how he can’t get enough, wants threesomes and said he’d cheat on her… But Jessel and Pavit are the weird couple."

Jessel Taank claims she made Tribeca ‘relevant’ after ‘RHONY’ scene with Erin Lichy

Did Jessel make Tribeca famous? The 'RHONY' star admitted on Page Six's 'Virtual Reali-Tea' podcast that she believes she popularized the Lower Manhattan neighborhood.

She quips, "Hello, I made it relevant," before punctuating her statement with a line from 'Mean Girls'. "I made fetch happen with Tribeca!"

Jessel admits to having a little fun getting under Erin's skin during her 'Virtual Reali-Tea' discussion.

"I knew in that moment how to piss Erin off. And I think that was the lightbulb that went off in my head because, like, ‘Ah, I’m basically insulting a realtor about where she lives and about where she thinks the hottest neighborhood in New York City is,'" she adds.

"And it was a little bit of an a-ha moment, [me asking her], ‘Is it there?'"

Jessel, who lives in Chelsea with her husband, Pavit, and their 2-year-old twins, Kai and Rio, suddenly knows why Tribeca is so desirable. "I do get the cache," she confirms.

The fashion publicist, on the other hand, is perplexed by the appeal. "I grew up in England, I lived in LA, I lived in New York, I spent some time in Asia," she said. "And so when I walk around Tribeca, I’m like, ‘Why would people pay $50 million to live in a one-bedroom warehouse? I don’t get it.'"

'The Real Housewives of New York City' Season 14 airs every Sunday on Bravo at 9 pm ET.
