With a new bundle of joy comes drama and speculation.
In the episode of November 12 The Real Housewives of New Yorkunexpected pregnancy rumors swirled when Erin Lichy told housewives Jessel Taanko and Brynn Whitfield that Rebecca Minkoff was pregnant — but her husband Gavin wasn’t the father.
“Not confirmed,” Erin said before Jessel asked how she was sure the rumors were true. “Because we have a mutual friend. She had one night, like a crazy night.”

“It’s very, very early and he’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 daddy is.”
As Brynn and Jessel opened their mouths at the shocking revelation, Brynn told the cameras that she “doesn’t trust the quiet.”
“I’m loud and I’m fucking sensible. I’d never know 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 replayed the drama and told Racquel Chevremont and Sai De Silva that she heard a “crazy rumor” about Rebecca.

“I heard she’s a freak in the sheets… They’re dating other people and stuff. Regardless of the consequences,” she said slyly, before saying Rebecca was paying the “biggest” price and had “a kid by another man . ”
In a quiet conversation with Jessel, Brynn claimed to have called some of Gavin’s friends and asked them to check the couple’s sexual preferences. She claimed the two were in love with “hippie s—” and Gavin didn’t think it was a “big deal” that Rebecca was carrying someone else’s child.
Word soon spread to the other housewives, and when Jenna Lyons and Ubah Hassan arrived, Sai explained to them. As rumors spread like wildfire, silence reigned when Rebecca finally arrived. She admitted to feeling nauseous from what could be food poisoning.

The ladies started playing dodgeball and after a 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 in question. When Rebecca asked her to describe the things that were circulating, Jenna gave her a look that she immediately understood.
“Erin, did you tell her?” Rebecca demanded across the room. When she claimed she only told Brynn and Jessel, Rebecca left the field with Erin chasing after her.
Outside, away from prying eyes and ears, the two friends embraced as Erin laughed, “That was good!”
