Erin Lichy, 39, is gearing up for another drama-filled season of The Real Housewives of New York City. As the season 16 premiere approaches, Erin has been vocal about her intentions to make waves during the highly-anticipated reunion.

Speaking exclusively to Us on Tuesday, September 1, Erin hinted that she won't be the only Housewife in the "hot seat" during the reunion. "Yeah, I won't be the only one," she said, leaving many wondering which cast members will join her.

While Erin declined to dish on specifics, she did offer some insight into how she plans to tackle the reunion. According to her, it'll be a mix of both old and new faces who'll find themselves under scrutiny. When asked directly about who would be joining her in the hot seat, Erin smiled slyly and said, "Big time."

This sentiment is echoed by Jessel Taank, 46, who also spoke exclusively to Us on Tuesday. Jessel predicted a near-even split between Erin and Daisy Toye when it comes to taking heat from their costars. Initially suggesting a 50/50 split, Jessel later revised her estimate, stating that the ratio would actually lean more towards Erin, at 70/30.

As the season 16 premiere draws near, fans are eagerly anticipating the return of several familiar faces, including Sai de Silva, Carole Radziwill, Hailey Glasman, and Erika Hammond. With so much talent returning to the screen, it's clear that the upcoming reunion will be nothing short of explosive.

Erin herself acknowledged that she's worked hard to establish herself as a force to be reckoned with in the RHONY universe. Despite some misconceptions about her character, Erin remains confident that authenticity is key to success in reality TV. "I feel like my biggest piece of advice is just be authentic, because the audience can see right through you," she shared.

When asked if she pays attention to comments section, Erin playfully dodged the question, saying, "No, I'm kidding. Sometimes I do." However, it's clear that she's aware of the rumors surrounding her and is prepared to address them head-on.

The upcoming season of RHONY premieres on Tuesday, September 8 at 8/7c on Bravo, followed by streaming the next day on Peacock. With tensions already running high among the cast, viewers are in for a treat this fall. Will Erin's prediction come true? but one thing is certain – the reunion won't be forgetting any of these ladies anytime soon.
