Erin Lichy Reveals the Truth About Husband Abe's NSFW Pic — and Defends Showing It
Erin Lichy insisted she was actually defending her man on The Real Housewives of New York City.
The Real Housewives of New York City ladies remain divided over the issue of Erin Lichy whipping out a picture of her husband’s goods for some to see. But, at least we know why she did it.
The now-expectant mother offered an explanation to Bravo HQ following RHONY Season 15, Episode 12, when Racquel Chevremont questioned why Erin thought it would be a “good idea” to reveal a pic of her husband’s nether regions. It happened during the girls’ trip in Puerto Rico, and to prove to the others that Abe Lichy was — ahem — well-endowed, Erin shared a photo of a naked Mr. Lichy.
“I was a little tipsy,” Erin admitted to Bravo HQ.
Erin Lichy on Showing Abe's NSFW Photo
Erin showed a naked photo of her husband to Jenna Lyons and Brynn Whitfield on Real Housewives of New York City. It happened after the trio separated from the rest for a shopping day in town, leaving after a few margaritas to visit a boutique. Erin had asked the shopkeeper about possibly purchasing men’s clothes for her hubby, commenting that Abe was a size large.
Jenna was a little incredulous, cheekily saying, “I don’t think there’s anything large about Abe, but that’s OK.”
Erin, in defense of Abe’s manhood, debated showing the women a picture of “his d-ck,” though when she did, Jenna and Brynn were left speechless and beside themselves.
“I take it back,” Jenna conceded. “I take everything back. Wow.”
Erin proudly reveled in Jenna and Brynn’s slack-jawed reactions, and they even exchanged high fives.
At Bravo HQ, Erin admitted it was an old, once-off photo.
"He doesn't ever send me d-ck pics," Erin confessed.
Not all the Housewives were on board with it, though. When Erin, Jenna, and Brynn made their way to San Juan’s La Casita restaurant to join Racquel, Ubah Hassan, Sai De Silva, Jessel Taank, and Rebecca Minkoff, Brynn explained what they’d seen back at the shop, and not everyone was as enthusiastic.
“If the tables were turned, and Abe was going around showing pictures of Erin’s giant [expletive], I don’t know,” Jessel told producers. “I’d personally be mortified.”
Racquel, too, had zero interest whatsoever in seeing for herself.
“Even when I was straight, I wouldn’t want to see anyone else’s husband’s d-ck,” said Racquel. “I don’t want that image every time I see Abe. How would I erase that from my mind? I just can’t.”
“I think it’s very disrespectful,” Ubah said in her own sit-down with Bravo HQ. “Listen, I don’t wanna see your man’s private parts.”
Rebecca, sitting beside Ubah, took more of a to-each-their-own approach.
“I think that whatever two people that are married to each other agree is OK or not, you two do you,” she said. “If he wants to have his d-ck be shown … I don’t have any naked pictures of my husband because I would never like to show anyone any of our private parts.”
