Erika Hammond shaded Erin Lichy and Daisy Toye on Watch What Happens Live after they trash-talked the conditions at her private island on a recent episode of The Real Housewives of New York City.
As she also denied Daisy was a vegetarian, defended having dinner in her pool, and addressed Jessel Taank‘s suggestion that Erin’s home flood was an insurance ploy, Erika, 35, spoke of her alter ego, Kendra, her husband, Ankur Jain, 36, and more.
On the WWHL: After Show on October 6, after being asked which of her castmates she would invite if she had planned her wedding when she knew them, Erika named Jessel, 46, Carole Radziwill, 63, Sai de Silva, 45, and Hailey Glassman, 39, leaving out both Erin, 39, and Daisy before shading them as “haters.”
Erika, whose married name is Erika Jain, also spoke of the girls on the live broadcast of WWHL.
“Erin and Daisy … I had no idea that they were talking behind my back, calling it a dump, and I was like, one, look around … There’s not much to defend. Everything’s great.”
Regarding Erin’s suggestion that her pull-out couch was paper thin, Erika said she had a mattress topper on it.
“I’ve slept on it before … The mattress topper, there’s like a really nice mattress topper there. It’s not a f*cking like sheet,” she stated.
She then denied Daisy’s claim that she was a vegetarian.
“We all saw her like house down that short rib from her Seder. She’s not a vegetarian. Also, my whole entire in-laws, Ankur is a vegetarian. Our chefs cook for vegetarians all the time … but she is not one,” Erika alleged.
Looking back at her dinner in pool, Erika said she had no regrets, despite her castmates’ complaints.
“I don’t. Because it was fun. I had never done that before, and my house manager came over and was like, ‘I just did a group, and we had dinner in the pool, and I thought it was really nice.’ And I was like, ‘That’s a fun idea.’ We were pruny after, our feet, but you’ll live,” she reasoned.
As for Jessel’s “insurance” diss against Erin, Erika mentioned that Daisy had participated in the conversation as well.
“Daisy was part of it, was the whole thing,” Erika said.
Moving on to her alter ego, Kendra, Erika described her as “full bolted,” as Ankur confirmed he hadn’t seen her since their April 2024 wedding.
Also on the show, Erika was asked if she considered flying private with her castmates to the island.
“No,” she replied. “There was no thought into that.”
She then said that she and Ankur now fly private to the island.
