It's time to say a big "Bravo" to Yorkie's stint on The Masked Singer . An iconic Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was unmasked during the Fox singing competition series' Decades Night episode April 9. Prior to the reality star's elimination, the season 13 contestant teased fans with hints about their true identity.
"I chose the ‘60s because it reminded me of my mom," Yorkie began. "She used her pain as a cautionary tale. She taught me to be guarded with my heart and keep love on a short leash.
" "Some would say I was cold and I resented that part of myself for many years," the pup continued. "I've had to learn how to let people in and after my own mess with love, I can appreciate where my mom was coming from. She was just trying to protect me.
" After performing a cover of "Hard to Handle" by Otis Reading , Yorkie received the least amount of votes and was sent home. When it came to the judges' guesses, Robin Thicke picked Lori Loughlin , while Ken Jeong guessed Kyle Richards and Rita Ora put her money on Paris Hilton . But it was Jenny McCarthy who chose correctly, predicting that longtime RHOBH diamond-holder Erika Jayne was behind the adorable, furry costume.
"Guys, I'm a funny person," the "XXPEN$IVE" singer said upon her elimination. "They just don't let me be funny on the other show." Erika added that her diehard fans would recognize her singing voice in "two seconds," so she had to lean into other aspects of her personality to throw off the scent.
"I just felt so free," she shared. "It was nice." Keep reading to meet the season 13 cast and see which other stars have been unmasked so far.
