Rebecca Minkoff’s Pregnancy Prank Shocks RHONY Cast: Husband’s Reaction Revealed

Rebecca Minkoff’s Pregnancy Prank on RHONY

Rebecca Minkoff, a cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City, created a stir with a pregnancy prank in Season 15. Along with Erin Lichy, Rebecca spread a false rumor claiming she was pregnant and didn’t know who the father was. They watched the gossip unfold among the other cast members, calling it the search for the “leaky pigeon” who would spread the news.

In an interview, Rebecca explained, “We devised that I’m pregnant and we don’t know who the father is just because it’s so ridiculous.” The two aimed to highlight the absurdity of such gossip.

Husband’s Reaction

Rebecca shared her husband Gavin Bellour was aware of the prank from the start. She called him to inform him about the rumor plan and stated, “Thank God my husband has a sense of humor.” This prank also prompted Rebecca to think about the impact on their marriage.

She involved her parents and Gavin’s mother as part of her “circle of trust.” When the rumor spread and the cast gathered for a game of dodgeball, Rebecca finally revealed the prank.

Aftermath of the Prank

Upon disclosure, Ubah Hassan expressed relief, initially shocked but glad to know Rebecca’s marriage was stable. However, Rebecca did not receive the reaction she anticipated from the cast. “No one laughed. I mean, Erin and I laughed a lot, but I thought we were going to get more laughter,” she admitted.

Despite this, when asked if she would do the prank again, Rebecca confirmed she would. Ubah praised her assertiveness, saying, “That’s called a woman who’s assertive.”

The identity of the “leakiest pigeon” in the group remains unspoken, but Rebecca hinted that it’s evident to everyone.
