Rumors of a housewife’s pregnancy shake the group

With a new bundle of joy comes drama and speculation.

On the November 12 episode of The Real Housewives of New York Cityrumors of an unexpected pregnancy flew when Erin Lichy told her housewives Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield that Rebecca Minkoff was expecting — but her husband Gavin wasn’t the father.

“It’s not confirmed,” Erin began, before Jessel asked how she was sure the rumors were true. “Because we have a mutual friend. She had a night, like a crazy night.”

“It’s very, very early and she’s really stressed about it,” she continued. While Rebecca did not reveal the child’s paternity, Erin claimed she heard from a third party that the fashion designer did not know “who the father is.”

As Brynn and Jessel’s mouths dropped at the shocking revelation, Brynn told cameras that she didn’t “trust the quiet ones.”

“I’m loud and I’m a f—ing prude. I would never have known my wildest dreams,” she added.

Later in the episode, the housewives gathered for a friendly game of dodgeball. Before the teams were called and the balls flew, Brynn resumed the drama, telling Racquel Chevremont and Sai De Silva that she heard a “crazy rumor” about Rebecca.

“I heard she’s a freak in the sheets… They have fun with other people and stuff. Regardless of the consequences,” she said slyly, before sharing that Rebecca paid the “biggest kind” price and got “a other man’s baby.”

In a hushed conversation with Jessel, Brynn claimed she called some of Gavin’s friends and asked them to verify the couple’s sexual tendencies. She claimed the two were into “hippie s—” and Gavin didn’t think it was a “big deal” that Rebecca was carrying someone else’s child.

Word quickly spread to other housewives, and when Jenna Lyons and Ubah Hassan arrived, Sai filled them in. Rumors spread like wildfire and silence fell when Rebecca finally arrived. She admitted she was nauseous from what could be food poisoning.

The ladies began their game of dodge ball, and after a high spirited game, Jenna took Rebecca aside to subtly let her know that people were talking behind her back.

“I just want you to be very careful,” Jenna said, refusing to discuss the rumors. When Rebecca asked her to describe the things circulating, Jenna gave her a single look that she immediately understood.

“Erin, have you f—ing told her?” Rebecca demanded from across the room. Claiming that she only told Brynn and Jessel, Rebecca left the field as Erin chased after her.

Outside away from prying eyes and ears, the two friends embraced as Erin laughed, “That was good!”
