The relationship between Erika Hammond and Erin Lichy has been marked by tension and disagreements, and a recent interview has added another twist to their strained dynamic. In fact, the Real Housewives of New York City star had a pointed comparison to make about Erin.
Erika Hammond compares Erin Lichy to Regina George
The internet personality recently appeared on Viall Files, where she discussed several aspects of her personal and professional life. Naturally, the conversation also touched on The Real Housewives of New York City. During the interview, Hammond compared Lichy and another cast member to characters from Mean Girls.
Erika said, “I feel like both of them together have this [Mean Girls] Regina George, Gretchen Wieners thing going on.” She then clarified that Erin was Regina.
For context, Hammond and Lichy worked together for just one season, but their time on the show was enough to spark tension between them. Their feud began after Erika invited the cast to her luxurious Moskito Island estate in the British Virgin Islands.
However, Lichy and Daisy Toye later criticized the property behind Erika’s back, comparing it to an ordinary rental home or Airbnb. Erin also complained that the 35-year-old had made her sleep on a pull-out couch, which upset her.
After the episode aired and Erika learned about the comments, Erin sent her a text apologizing. However, shortly afterward, the 39-year-old appeared to take another swipe at Erika’s island during the Virtual Reali-Tea Awards, publicly referring to it as a “rental property.” Erika openly expressed her anger and dismissed Lichy’s apology as insincere.
The two have also disagreed over what it means to be a true New Yorker. Lichy believes that only someone born in New York can call themselves a real New Yorker. Hammond, who is originally from Texas, has lived in the city for the past 10 years and considers herself a New Yorker.
