RHONY’s Ubah Hassan Calls Erin Lichy a ‘Gaslighting’ ‘S— Stirrer’ After Their Blowout Phone Fight

Ubah Hassan sets the record straight about his phone debacle and fallout with Erin Dana Lichy on The Real Housewives of New York.

On the Bravo show’s season 14 episode 11, Hassan and Lichy clashed after a prank went wrong. During a girls’ trip to Anguilla, Lichy, 36, agreed with Hassan, 40, when she decided to hide her phone as revenge for being pushed into a pool.

The former supermodel was not amused, and became frustrated when she found out that her phone had been deliberately hidden, leaving her unable to contact concerned family members.

The next day, the duo came to a boiling point when Lichy misheard a conversation where Hassan mentioned her name and flew into a rage. Reacting to her hostility, Hassan grabbed her sunglasses from her face and said he would not return them for “45 minutes”. During the episode, things got even more tense as Lichy left lunch and dinner early, and ended up breaking down in tears, claiming she was “afraid to be friends” with her.

Hassan is now talking about the fight, he is talking Diversity that their big argument was about much more than the phone.

“The phone was absolutely the seed of everything that exploded,” she explained. “It’s just seed. It was very irritating… I don’t think people understand that this is TV, this is a show. We have to stop [taking] this thing so personal. Don’t tell me I’m yelling and screaming and performing for [having my phone taken for] 45 minutes. No, it’s more than that.”

“That’s basically what I think they’re misunderstanding[stood]. I don’t cry for my phone, I keep losing my phone. I was in the middle of this trip to Anguilla. I have a job, I have a family, I am a grown woman. Why are you taking my phone?” she continued. “And then you come back and say, ‘Oh, that was a joke.’ What a fucking joke? They threw me in the pool, and you didn’t tell me the joke wasn’t over. What is that? Why do you step back and say this is the worst fight you’ve ever had, it reminds you of seventh grade when they call you long beard? It’s just ridiculous.”

“She lied about a bunch of things you’ll find out at the reunion,” she added. “All day she was just shedding light on things. She’s a s— mixer, everybody knows that. I know it, the two-year-old knows it, the viewer knows it. Unless you’re biased and selective, then screw you.”

A Lichy representative did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Hassan, who touched on the stereotype of the “angry black woman” during the episode, also told the newspaper that she felt her “story” was “painted” as “angry” when she was simply expressing genuine emotions.

“I am fully aware that when black girls raise their voices or speak, we have always been painted [as] the ones that cause more conflict,” she explained. “And I just don’t want that story. I don’t think it’s just black, I think it’s Chinese, Indian — anyone who doesn’t have blond hair, blue eyes, we feel that way. Like, we feel judged. This means [we] let’s raise our voices.”

Ubah Hot’s founder stated that “Erin yelled at me, [was] screaming at me and [called] i will—- [a] several times,” but “no one calls her mad.”

“No one does any of that, do they? In fact, they call her delicate,” she claimed. “Me and her, I’m more delicate than her – she’s a gym rat.”

“I’m not afraid to raise my voice,” Hassan continued. “I also raise my voice when I’m happy; I’m just a lively, passionate person — don’t paint me anything else. Don’t label me. My name is Ubah. That’s it.”

In the end, Hassan explained that she doesn’t hold either the real estate agent or the network responsible for portraying her as an “angry black woman.”

“[Erin] or the show didn’t, it’s the viewer,” she argued, noting that reality show editors have a tough job trying to include everyone’s perspective in “five minutes.”

“So the way they’re editing it, I don’t think they’re trying to be biased or anything. I just feel like there’s not enough time, so some things have to be left and then the viewers are left to make their own decision,” Hassan continued, adding that a reunion episode would be an opportunity to clear the air.

“If you’re a viewer, you know who the biggest conflict is,” added Hassan. “You know who’s a gossip, who’s a s—- troublemaker. You can see all season, who’s meddling in people’s business, meddling in people’s marriages—I don’t care, I don’t care. Your life is your life. We’re just having fun as friends, I don’t gossip about other people behind their backs.”
