I really think Erika is jealous of Teddi, who is younger, prettier, and doesn’t need a ton of makeup and outrageous costumes to look great. I think Erika feels threatened by her and that’s why she is so mean to Teddi. Plus, I think Erika is rather jealous of all the ladies, who all have husbands that adore them. I don’t think Erika has that with Tom at all.... Being the Erika Jayne character is just a coverup for her misery. She comes across as very angry, defensive, and overly needy for attention, to me.
