Soon after a post about the article was made by the user @allabouttrh on Instagram, several viewers responded to make their opinions clear.

One wrote, "I feel like this isn’t translating to the audience then," while another commented, "Did she though? I feel like she was the weakest link." 

"Am I the only person that doesn’t find Jessel interesting… at all…," inquired a person. 

A fan asserted, "Rolling Stone .. nope. This headline is not what translated on screen and absolutely don’t appreciate politics being dragged into it," pointing to Rolling Stone calling Erin Lichy an "ex-Trumper." 

One more remarked, "There’s no way the face of NYC is someone who makes up lies about their life to make it seem like they “belong”. I can’t. This really is some transplant BS. What every real NYer hates!!!!!!!!!" 

Another quipped, "Stole the show? In what world ? 🤣," while an 'RHONY' viewer declared, "This is a joke."
