Update: The deed is done!Rob Rausch officially followed through with his promise to get Maura Higgins a Birkin after he pulled off the ultimate betrayal on The Traitors.
Not only did the Traitor document his entire journey of picking up the bag at Madison Avenue Couture in NYC with Jake Shane, but he presented Maura with her consolation gift during the March 4 episode of Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen.
“Would you forgive someone if they bought you a Birkin?” Andy asked viewers in a poll, to which 89% answered “yes.” (Who wouldn’t?!)
“See? This is my win. I knew I’d have my moment,” Maura said as Rob slipped his gloves on to present her with the cherry-cola-colored bag.
The pair also stepped out after WWHL, and Maura wore an iconic “I’m dumb?” tee to match her brand-new Birkin. We couldn’t be more obsessed with this journey if we tried!!
Original article: Maura Higgins may have experienced what might have been the most diabolical loss in The Traitors history, but she’s definitely winning in the fashion department. Not only did this diva sport some of the best looks of the season, but she was promised a coveted Hermès Birkin bag by Rob Rausch, who betrayed her in the final moments of the game.
As fans wait to see whether the Love Island USA alum actually makes good on that promise, Maura stepped out in NYC on Monday, March 2, holding none other than a Birkin…and she looks damn good doing so!
Her outing begs the question: Was this the Birkin gifted to her by Rob? Allow me to put on a chic Maura-esque detective cap and investigate.
When asked what he planned on doing with his $220,800 prize pot during The Traitors season 4 reunion, Rob admitted that he “has to buy Maura a Birkin.”
Hours before the black Birkin was perched on her arm, The Traitors runner-up gave an update on the situation to Entertainment Weekly, saying that it was “seemingly” in the works thanks to some help from fellow fashionista Lisa “Look at the Tag” Rinna.
“Well, so basically, you can’t just walk into Hermès and buy a Birkin,” Maura told the outlet. “SoLisa Rinna, the queen herself, is helping Rob get the Birkin because Lisa has contacts.” She explained that she had sent Rob a pic of the “exact bag” she had her eye on, she added, “so now it’s in his hands.”
This development also comes after DeuxMoi reported that Maura, Rob, and Eric Nam were spotted at The Corner Store in NYC, where a tipster claimed they “overheard the word ‘Birkin’ many times.”
Here’s to hoping this is Maura’s consolation bag!
