Erika Says Tom ‘Funded’ Her Life as She’s Confronted With Cheating Questions
Erika Jayne continued to open up about her divorce from Tom Girardi on the Wednesday, June 30, episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, revealing that she still hadn’t spoken to her estranged husband after filing for divorce without telling him.
“What is there to say? I’m sure he’s very mad at me,” Erika, 49, told Sutton Stracke. “They get very, very possessive. If you think that he’s going to roll over and just say, ‘Oh here, honey, here’s your small fortune.’ Are you f—king kidding me?”
In a confessional, the Pretty Mess author added, “I know who Tom is. I know how mean and overly dismissive Tom is. I saw it for 22 years. It’s not like he’s going to say, ‘Oh great, hun, do you want the sofa?’”
Erika also called Tom, 81, “a fighting motherf—ker till the end” based on his two previous divorces. “If I got a Bentley out of this divorce, I’ll be thrilled,” she declared.
Us Weekly confirmed in November 2020 that Erika filed for divorce on Election Day. The spouses were subsequently accused of faking their split and embezzling money intended for plane crash victims. During Wednesday’s episode, Erika admitted that she was “hurt” by Tom not coming to see her in Chicago on Broadway in early 2020.
“A lot of the reason I was Broadway is because of all the great support that Tom had given me through the years. This was the payoff, but why weren’t you there? Even come for 24 hours,” Erika told Sutton. “You know what I learned, honestly, moving to New York, in those four months there, I was like, ‘Wait a minute, I’m on my own, like, literally. And I’m OK. I’ll be OK.’”
Erika admitted in a confessional that Tom “supported and funded” her over the years. “You don’t come to the show? And then I have to go out there and defend it?” she said before footage from the RHOBH season 10 reunion of Erika discussing Tom’s absence from Chicago aired. “Now you tell me if I feel loved.”
While Erika has not been charged with any crimes as Tom fights a series of lawsuits against him, a judge ordered her to turn over her financial records as part of the ongoing investigation into her and Tom’s assets. The Bravo star has until Wednesday, July 21, at 5 p.m, to provide bank statements, cashier’s checks, money orders and any emails or texts related to her finances to the judge.
Tom has been accused of giving Erika’s companies $20 million from his former firm, Girardi Keese, over the years. Tom, for his part, claimed in a September 2020 deposition that he was “broke” after losing millions of dollars. More recently, he told the judge he objected to his brother, Robert, being named his conservator amid Tom’s Alzheimer’s and dementia diagnosis.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Scroll through for Erika’s most telling quotes from Wednesday’s episode:
“It’s tough. It’s not a marriage between Mauricio and Kyle. It’s not a marriage between Dorit and PK, you know, my marriage was different than any of them,” Erika said during a confessional before getting emotional, referring to Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky as well as Dorit and PK Kemsley. “That’s the hardest part to, I think, reconcile.”

Garcelle Beauvais told Erika that when she was recently shopping in Beverly Hills, a sales associate claimed to see Tom out to dinner with a 60-year-old “blonde girl.” When asked whether there was a “third party” involved in the split, Erika said, “It’s possible. … But I don’t know who that person is. [No third party that] I know of.”
In her confessional, she added, “It’s not the first time I’ve heard it, but if I’m 81 and a half years old, and out there still trying to get some p—y, hats off to you player.”

During the episode, Erika shut down speculation that she had an affair with Scooter Braun or her former Dancing With the Stars partner, Gleb Savchenko. “I haven’t seen either one of them in four and a half, five years,” she explained on the episode. “If I gave s—t, I’d sue, but I’ve got so much on my plate, I don’t really care.”

Erika and Lisa Rinna went shopping for Christmas decorations on Wednesday’s episode, with the singer joking that Santa “brought her a divorce.”
“Truth is, I could’ve taken a lot of things from that house that I didn’t. There were so many beautiful Christmases it just brings up a lot of memories,” Erika told Bravo cameras. “A lot of joy, a lot of fun, that I can’t even compete in my new little home and that’s why it’s so sad.”
