Jessel Taank Felt Like Erin Lichy’s ‘Child’ After ‘Cryptic’ Text Message

   

Season 15 of the Real Housewives of New York has just started, and the drama is next level. Fans know that the common denominator in all the drama is Brynn Whitfield. She has been so busy stirring the pot that she forgot that the cast would soon be together. And the drama went down at Brynn’s party at The Fleur Room. Plus, Jessel Taank is caught in the line of fire between Brynn and Erin Lichy during the Season 15 premiere of RHONY.

Why was Erin Lichy sending Jessel Taank that “cryptic” message?

According to Brynn, Erin told her that in the Hamptons, she ordered an Uber for Jenna Lyons when her car broke down. And when Jenna didn’t repay her, Erin reportedly called Jenna “poor.” During a furniture shopping expedition with Brynn and Jessel, Jenna told Brynn that Erin denied calling her “poor.” However, in her confessional, Erin admitted she is “a storyteller.” Still, Brynn doubled down that Erin made that shady comment.

Meanwhile, it seems that Jessel was nervous before the party even kicked off. Jessel told Brynn that she received a curious text from Erin. “Um, so, at like 10 p.m. I’m about to pass out and I get a text and it says, ‘I’m so disappointed.’ I literally am her child and I’m getting spanked,” Jessel said. “Like I don’t know, did you not get anything?”

Poor Jessel didn’t have to wait long to find out why she received the text from Erin. It was related to the conversation at the furniture store. Once again, Erin denied ever making a disparaging remark about Jenna. Instead, she was just retelling a humorous story.

However, Erin blamed Brynn for the drama. “There’s a manipulator in the group who manipulates things. She’s lying about this story,” Erin stated. In her confessional, Erin continued to bash Brynn. “The problem with Brynn that I have is that she will take a truth and turn it into a manipulation and an exaggeration and then make you look like a liar,” she said.

Enter Sai de Silva. During Brynn’s party, Sai issued Jenna an apology because Brynn previously told Jenna that Sai said that she “hated” her. “Well, I apologize. I really – I did say I didn’t like you. I never said I hated you,” Sai explained. Awkward! The ladies made up, but this situation left a bad taste in Sai’s mouth.

In a dramatic clash, Brynn and Erin started to argue. Brynn accused Erin of character assassination. After Sai stated that Brynn was the one causing all the drama, Brynn denied it. “Not today, Satan. I won’t do it,” Sai said. “You and me can have a conversation one-on-one at another time, but Satan, not today.”

By this time, Brynn had enough and left her party with her brother, Darius. In the previews for Season 15, it is obvious that Brynn is also on the outs with model Ubah Hassan.

The shifting dynamics in this group are going to make for a fascinating season!
