On the October 2026 RHONY episodes, Sai de Silva said Erin Lichy told a BravoCon dinner that Jessel Taank's husband Pavit was gay and had been kicked out of Equinox. Sai's makeup artist Chris confirmed on a call that Erin made the remark, and said Erin told him Pavit goes to Equinox to be with guys, a view she has held for three years. Erin has said she has known something about Jessel's husband for over three years that would destroy her family. Pavit responded by calling Erin a 90-year-old woman in a 50-year-old's body. Jessel says Dumois never posted the blind item she referenced, and that the rumor also implies Pavit is unfaithful.
