Erin Lichy finally confirms which restaurant was bleeped on ‘RHONY’

The cat-ch is out of the bag.

“Real Housewives of New York City” star Erin Lichy confirmed Wednesday that Catch NYC is the restaurant that her castmates secretly trashed on the Season 14 premiere.

The Bravolebrity explained on Sirius XM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” that she and her fellow newbies were looking for a spot to celebrate getting announced at BravoCon 2022 and so they needed a place where they could get a reservation.

“Catch was available,” Lichy said, revealing the restaurant’s name for the first time — since it was bleeped on the reality show for discreteness.

“I didn’t know anything, like, I didn’t know that they were not going to come.”

The real estate agent said her “RHONY” co-stars Brynn Whifield and Sai De Silva told her they were too “tired” to go out with her for dinner at the Manhattan eatery, but it turned out that they actually went to Casa Cipriani instead.

“I’m, like, this is s–y,” Lichy, 36, added, scoffing at the fact that her co-stars thought Catch was for “D-list models.”

Lewis’ co-host Doug Boudin said in response, “That is tacky.”

Whitfield, also 36, joked on the show that she thought Olive Garden was “chicer” than Catch and De Silva, 42, said she thought the restaurant was for “teenagers.”

Lichy said in a separate conversation with co-star Ubah Hassan, “Who cares where we are? It’s the people you’re with.”

Since Catch was originally bleeped on “RHONY” out of courtesy to the restaurant, fans have been speculating which spot the “Housewives” were making such a hoopla about.

“The restaurant they keep bleeping out on new RHONY is Catch, right?,” “Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum Greg Bennett tweeted at the time, to which another replied, “That’s the word on the street.”

Following Lichy’s not-so-shocking revelation, Jeff Lewis told the interior decorator that Catch, which has other locations aside from the Big Apple, is considered a trendy hotspot in Los Angeles.

“We have Catch and we have Catch Steak in LA,” the host explained. “Both are newer, so they’re popular … but, see, I think they started in New York and I know these restaurants have this shelf-life.”

Former “RHONY” star Bethenny Frankel, who appeared on the series from Season 1 to 3 and then again from Season 7 to 11, also praised Catch on a July 21 episode of her “ReWives” podcast.

“I am here to say that Catch restaurant has great sushi, great steak, great disco dining,” the Skinnygirl founder, 52, said. “…I would go to Catch right now.”

Page Six reached out to reps at Catch for a response, but they declined to comment.

Meanwhile, a source tells us exclusively that the “RHONY” saga “appears to not be affecting” the restaurant’s business and “celebrities continue to be seen there.”

The insider notes that A-listers like Lebron James and Dr. Dre were spotted dining there recently, as well as “Real Housewives of Orange County” stars Heather and Terry Dubrow, who eat there “all the time.”
