During Season 14, Real Housewives of New York City stars Erin Lichy and Sai De Silva double-dated with their husbands. The ladies brought up Jessel Taank and Pavit Randhawa’s sexual drought. When asked what their husbands would do in that situation, Abe Lichy piped up and said, “I would f*ck other women. I’m just saying.”
And let’s not forget that Brynn Whitfield was dragged by Erin for flirting with Abe the Babe during their vow renewal. But Abe was flirting and laughing during the exchange. Did Abe catch any of Erin’s fury? Doubtful.
Erin and Abe discuss his “joke” about being with other women
Erin and Abe spoke to The Daily Dish to clear up any misunderstandings about their marriage. Abe definitely wanted to address the “f*ck other women comment.”
“I know you, so to me it was funny and silly and like a joke, clearly, and I think to like our friends or anyone who knows you, it’s a joke. Because people don’t know you that well yet, like the Bravo fans, it seemed like, ‘Oh, so you’re going to cheat?'” Erin remarked.
Both Abe and Erin claimed that they were unaware of Jessel’s painful IVF journey. Abe said, “If we had known that, you know it would have been a completely different situation because the way it [was] being talked about was in that more playful way. Seeing the IVF struggles, I really felt for her, and I felt bad that it came off like that to her and that it might have hurt her.”
Erin explained that they would never want to criticize someone’s marriage. Did you watch this season, Erin? She stated, “It’s not something we would do. I think we’re being more playful with it and then I think got more real, you know, and once I saw that she was upset, I was like, ‘Oh my God,’ I never want her to be upset.”
Viewers didn’t see enough of the real Abe
Abe also felt that RHONY viewers didn’t see a balanced picture of him, only snippets of “crass jokes.” He called the notion that he would cheat on Erin “ridiculous.” Abe said, “To see my reputation slandered like that was annoying because it’s just not who I am.” Then maybe you should watch what you say on camera? Just a thought.
“We’ve been together 13 years and we’ve been through a lot together and while we’re not, you know, perfect, as no couple is, we have a very strong relationship,” Abe stated.
He continued, “Our lives really do revolve around our family. We spend a lot of time with our children. On the show, there are all these little snippets of us, you know, how can we get away from the kids?” Abe said that the couple does enjoy spending some time alone together, but most of the time they spend hanging with their children.
TELL US – DO YOU FEEL LIKE ABE WOULD CHEAT ON ERIN? DO YOU AGREE THAT VIEWERS DIDN’T SEE ENOUGH OF ABE’S TOTAL PERSONALITY?
