‘RHONY’ star Erin Lichy slams claims she’s an election denier, avoids addressing Trump donations

She’s been on reality TV for just a few weeks, but Erin Dana Lichy is already feeling the harsh reality of fame.

The new “Real Housewives of New York” star is hitting back at claims that she’s an election denier in the wake of a resurfaced Reddit post about her donating $400 to Donald Trump’s Stop the Steal campaign.

In the now-viral thread created by a TikTok personality, the alleged donations of six of the franchise’s current and former stars are broken down — including Ramona Singer supporting Republicans and the Kennedy-associated Carole Radziwill standing with Democrats.

A search of the Federal Election Commission database has revealed that Lichy donated four times to WinRed, the Republican Party’s Political Action Committee, in the immediate days following the Nov. 3, 2020 election. Half of her donations were specifically earmarked for the “Trump Make America Great Again Committee.”

The real estate agent and interior designer issued a statement on Monday, shooting down the scuttlebutt about her political leanings.

“Regarding the hateful and misinformed social commentary going on about me, I’d like to dispel these false narratives before they continue any further,” she said. “I do not deny the election and have never supported Stop the Steal. I unequivocally believe that the 2020 Presidential election was fair and the President was rightfully elected.”

However, she did not provide any further context for her post-election donations.

The 36-year Manhattan native is a married mother of three, who joined the latest season of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” which premiered July 16, 2023.

Out with the old and in with the new, the long-running Bravo franchise introduced six new women to replace season 13 cast members Countess Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Leah McSweeney, Eboni K. Williams and Ramona Singer.

Though she’s new to the reality TV genre, Lichy has Bravo ties. According to her professional profile, she works for real estate company Douglas Elliman under Fredrik Eklund and John Gomes, who appeared on “Million Dollar Listing.”

Lichy joins social media influencer Sai De Silva, model Ubah Hassan, ex-J Crew chief Jenna Lyons (also recognized as New York’s first openly gay Housewife), fashion publicist Jessel Taank and marketing consultant Brynn Whitfield.
