The second season of the “RHONY” reboot is here (officially Season 15) and while some friendships have mended from last season, others have been brewing.
Erin Lichy and Ubah Hassan almost got into blows during Season 14 when Erin jokingly hid the model’s cell phone. As retaliation, Ubah grabbed the sunglasses off Erin’s face and the two nearly threw down in Anguilla.
This season, the two are close as can be and according to Erin, she talks to Ubah more than her own sister. My, how things can change after six months.
We see some tension between Erin and Brynn Whitfield in the premiere “RHONY” episode and it blows up into a huge fight. Sai De Silva and Jenna Lyons also have a bit of a spat because of some past-season drama.
With all the weird friendship dynamics going on, it’s hard to keep up with who is fighting with whom so here’s a breakdown of “RHONY” Season 15 beef.
Erin Lichy and Brynn Whitfield’s game of telephone
In 2023, Erin went on Jeff Lewis’ podcast to talk about the “RHONY” Season 14 drama and he asked if Brynn has someone helping her financially, alluding to a possible sugar daddy. In the clip of the podcast episode shown during the Season 15 premiere, Erin says, “I don’t think so.” However, Brynn somehow thinks that Erin affirmed that she does have a sugar daddy.
“Don’t talk about my money, don’t speculate, let alone speculate about something so lewd and disgusting,” she tells the cameras.
Erin had apologized to Brynn after the podcast appearance but there’s still some residual resentment there. Brynn feels like when Jeff said he thought she had a sugar daddy, Erin should have shut that down ASAP.
While having lunch with Ubah and Rebecca Minkoff during the Season 15 premiere, Erin tells them about another drama that went down prior to filming. Apparently, Brynn told Jenna, “By the way, Erin called you poor.”
As Jessel Taank describes, Erin and Jenna were in the Hamptons and Jenna’s car broke down. Erin called Jenna an Uber but never got paid back.
However, the rumor is that Brynn is telling people Erin said Jenna’s having money problems. “Never did I say she had money problems,” Erin swears to the cameras. “She thousand percent said it,” Brynn claims. Not Jenna F*cking Lyons a pauper!
Sai De Silva told people she disliked Jenna Lyons
During Season 14 of “RHONY,” Jenna set herself apart from the other ladies a bit and made things even worse when she didn’t want to fly coach with them to Anguilla.
Her reasoning was that she has a skin condition and wanted to tan beforehand to even herself out a bit. However, when Sai only heard that Jenna wanted to fly business without knowing the reason, she called her “corny.”
After that, Sai had apparently been going around telling people how much she “hated” Jenna, which gets brought up in “RHONY” Season 15.
When Jenna confronts Sai at Brynn’s get-together, Sai says she didn’t use the word “hate” but did admit to talking smack about her and apologizes.
Sai De Silva calls Brynn Whitfield satan during the RHONY premiere
Sai is enjoying a nice cold plunge with Jessel, followed by a sauna when she reveals that she hasn’t spoken to Brynn in a while. Flashback to their fight last season when Brynn revealed Ubah’s secret boyfriend at a party on camera, which Sai had divulged to her in secret.
Sai ended up screaming at Brynn and apologized to her during the reunion, which was rejected. “I have a million friends. I’m good,” Brynn said.
In the sauna, Sai tells Jessel that she took Brynn in as family, which is why she’s so hurt that she was cast aside so easily.
At Brynn’s party, she finds out that Brynn was the one who told Jenna that Sai “hates” her. When Erin and Brynn argue about the Jeff Lewis show, she gets triggered and calls her “unwell.”
“I don’t know if Jenna and Erin got on your nerves because they got close, but that night that I went to Jenna’s house and I walked in … the night was weird,” Sai claims. Brynn responds by accusing Sai of calling Jessel’s husband Nemo.
That’s when things go bad. “You’re a gaslighting, narcissist, f*cking a**hole. I love the way you switched this sh*t,” Sai says. “Not today, Satan,” she screams before she walks away.
