Erin and Sai's Friendship in Flames Over Leaked Charity Scandal

In what might be the most explosive moment of The Real Housewives of New York City Season 15, the once-solid friendship between Erin Lichy and Sai De Silva has gone up in flames — and it's all thanks to a glamorous charity gala, a suspicious leak, and a betrayal that’s shaking Bravo fans to their core.

It all began with what was supposed to be a night of elegance and goodwill: Erin’s high-profile charity event in Manhattan, aimed at raising funds for children's literacy programs. The guest list was A-list adjacent, the champagne was flowing, and the cameras were rolling — but behind the scenes, drama was brewing.

According to multiple sources close to production, tension erupted after a private behind-the-scenes conversation — allegedly criticizing the event’s organization and questioning how much money was actually going to the cause — was leaked to a gossip blog just hours after the event ended. And guess whose voice was front and center in the clip? Sai De Silva.

While Sai has denied intentionally leaking the audio, claiming it was a “private venting session” recorded without her knowledge, Erin isn’t buying it. In a now-viral scene from Episode 7, Erin confronts Sai during brunch at the Whitfield townhouse, furiously demanding, “Did you come to support the kids, or to sabotage me in couture?”

Sai, known for her sharp tongue and zero-tolerance attitude, fires back with, “Maybe if you spent less time curating photo ops and more time organizing the event, you wouldn’t be worried about leaks.”

Mic. Dropped.

The confrontation has sent shockwaves across the RHONY fandom, dividing viewers into #TeamErin and #TeamSai. Even castmates like Brynn Whitfield and Jessel Taank appeared visibly shaken during the altercation, with Jessel muttering off-camera, “This is beyond housewives drama — this is war.”

Bravo insiders suggest the feud has triggered a ripple effect across the cast, and filming reportedly had to pause for two days due to “escalating interpersonal conflict.”
