Erin Lichy revealed what wasn’t shown on the current season of the Real Housewives of New York, shared a post from a fan claiming her castmates ‘owe’ her, and reportedly flew first class after shading Jenna Lyons.
The 36-year-old was slammed for her controlling behavior before she admitted at the reunion that she was the oldest sister growing up, and she would often take care of her younger siblings for weeks at a time.
In an Instagram post shared by @queensofbravo on Twitter, Erin responded to a fan who questioned why she didn’t discuss her complex upbringing until the reunion.
“There were about 6 scenes I filmed with my family. I took my sister wedding dress shopping and bought her a dress,” said Erin. “My soft side, my upbringing, conversations [with] my dad about him being a single father, scenes where I literally held my super sick baby in my arms … I was extremely open and vulnerable.”
She went on to say, “But at the end of the day, they only have 45 minutes, I’m not mad at it but it took so much personal backstory and context away that most other cast members had.”
She also shared a post from a fan suggesting her castmates should be grateful to her.
“All the cast owe Erin a cheque for giving each and everyone of them a storyline this szn, a generous babe — ERIN THE F**KING PRODUCER,” wrote @molokwu_peter on Instagram.
Erin then reacted with a winking face emoji, adding, “And on that note, good night.”

Meanwhile, according to Page Six, Erin was spotted flying first class – months after shading Jenna for doing the same thing (rather than flying coach with the rest of the cast).
The star was allegedly traveling from Cancún, Mexico to New York on Monday, seated in the front row of a flight with Delta Air Lines. A source claimed Erin had removed her shoes before takeoff, and was wearing jeans and minimal makeup.
The outlet said their insider described Erin as a “pata sucia,” a Spanish term that means dirty feet. The source claimed the star had her “shoes off and feet against the wall.”
The insider also stated, however, that Erin and her husband Abe were “sweet” when approached by a fan who recognized the couple.
