Jenna Lyons Admits She Regrets One Comment She Made on RHONY: "Never Wanted to Hurt Her"
Jenna Lyons might be in the hot seat at the RHONY reunion for choosing sides between two castmates.
Jenna Lyons of The Real Housewives of New York City admitted to Bravo audiences that she wished she hadn’t done one thing during filming.
The LoveSeen C.E.O. and fashion icon appeared on the Sunday, October 15 2023, episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen alongside the “anti-It girl” Julia Fox following the RHONY Season 14 finale. Looking back at the reboot in its entirety, Lyons wasn’t lyin’ when she told fans there was one thing she regretted, and it had to do with one of the season’s most shocking conflicts.
Jenna Lyons’ RHONY Regret
During the WWHL After Show, Jenna was asked if she regretted saying anything in her RHONY confessionals or if she stood by everything she said during filming.
The new Housewife previously joked on WWHL that she regretted filming the series, but then went into the Anguilla girls’ trip and the “worst conflict” between Ubah Hassan and Erin Lichy.
“I think the one thing I wish I hadn’t said, which I realize had a deeper meaning to someone, I said to Ubah I was taking sides with Erin in the moment,” Jenna said. “I think it felt not great for her, and she felt I was not seeing her and taking sides, and I felt badly because I think it really hurt her, and I never wanted to hurt her.”

RHONY fans will recall the explosive fight between the first-time Housewives in RHONY Season 14, Episode 11 when what was meant to be a prank turned into a long-lasting row. Erin — wanting to get Ubah back for pushing her in the pool during their Anguilla girls’ trip — thought it would be funny to hide Ubah’s phone.
Ubah was not amused.
At what might have been the most heated part of the ongoing fight, Ubah ripped Erin’s sunglasses from her face, demanding, “Take these off when you’re talking to me.”
Erin went on to call it “the worst conflict” of her life.
The fight spanned across two high-energy episodes, leading to a face-off in the hot tub with fellow castmates Brynn Whitfield, Jessel Taank, and Sai De Silva. But before then, the exchange continued while the cast was away for an afternoon at a beachside bar, when Jenna supported Erin after Erin had to walk away.
Jenna called it “inappropriate” that the altercation carried on into “someone’s place of business.” She advised Erin not to give it too much energy, though she continued discussing the topic with RHONY producers.
“If someone yelled at me, standing over me and ripping my sunglasses off my head, I would be upset, and I can see Erin’s visibly upset,” said Jenna. “And Ubah, she’s relentless. She won’t let up.”
Jenna confirmed, “Yeah, I’m Team Erin in this moment.”
Though Jenna now cites it as her most regrettable RHONY moment, she may not be out of the woods yet.
Will it be Ubah vs. Jenna at the RHONY Season 14 reunion?
Ubah previously told The Daily Dish that there will be hell to pay for some fellow Housewives at the upcoming reunion.
“Bitches, especially Erin and Jenna, you got some sh-t to answer [for],” said Ubah.
Based on the reunion preview, Jenna seems to be in the UBAH HOT seat when Ubah shares with the rest what she really thinks of Jenna.
“TV Jenna is poor me, victim,” Ubah explained when Andy asked the difference between TV Jenna and Jenna IRL. “And the real Jenna, it’s powerhouse.”
Emotions spill over during the reunion with Ubah — and a few others — seen crying at the two-part event. Ubah said she was “so tired” of the women not having her back.
In a previous WWHL episode, Ubah said she “broke down” but admitted that there was closure to be found at the end of the reunion and that she left “feeling much better.”
“It was a therapy that I never thought I would have in my life,” Ubah told the WWHL host.
Hopefully, a peace treaty between Ubah and Jenna will end the season on a good note.
Catch up on The Real Housewives of New York City ahead of the highly anticipated reunion, airing Sundays, Oct. 22 and 29 at 9:00 p.m. on Bravo and streaming the next day on Peacock.
