S12.E17: The Girl with the Diamond Earrings

[ivygirl]

Comparing Erika and her glam and $1800 clutch, and Kathy and her fabric tote, Brooks Brothers cardigan, and Goody barrette,  it’s clear both who has money and knows how to spend it.

I think Kathy has these women’s number—especially her sister’s—and was trolling them a bit. (I also don’t think she was cutting Sutton down with her boobie comment… sure it was kinda tacky, but she was comparing Sutton to her own daughters and I highly doubt she’d be cutting her own daughters’ looks down on camera.)

When Erika said that she didn't give a f**k about anyone but herself, I finally 100% believed something she said. 

As she wears her panther ring and brags about all the expensive and cool shit she has.  She really does make herself look bad, all by herself.  It's kind of sad when someone's identity is so wrapped up in their possessions, that they think that's what makes them important. 

It IS very sad.  It’s even more sad when that same person ditched her own child in search of that feeling of importance.  I don’t think Erika ever believed herself to be worthy of much, deep down.  Doesn’t sound like she was made to feel loved as a kid, for starters.  I find it interesting to watch her using her sexuality as a way to feel “powerful”, and was not shocked by her throwing out the possibility of becoming a dominatrix.  It wouldn’t surprise me if it was said for shock value, but it also wouldn’t surprise me if she was completely serious.   I don’t believe people are born “cold”.  

Regardless, nothing excuses the fact that we’ve repeatedly watched her treat others horribly.  That witchy cackle says it all.  She needs help, in all seriousness. 

I really look forward to finding pics online of Diana in the get-up that won her some new Muppet nicknames!  That woman is not right.  She seems to be 100% hateful and needs to be gone.  Charitable, my ass.  

I haven’t watched the episode and won’t.  Even after canceling cable, then caving on a Peacock subscription, what’s gone on recently just crossed the line and I have no desire to watch TV that will reaffirm my disappointment in a good number of adults who should know (and do) better - and the people who gleefully exploit them for a buck.  It’s a big ole downer.  No, thanks! 

However, reading about it here is NOT a downer, but a guaranteed source of belly laughs.  It’s also encouraging to see that others are not ok with this crap.  It’s baffling that we’ve watched this franchise circle the drain for so long, and just when we think it couldn’t get any worse…here comes a new one!

Erika tells Crystal that there is no evidence that Tom Girardi stole money from the families of individuals who died in a plane crash. 
Joe Ruigomez received all of the settlement the court awarded him. And appeared on The Housewife and the Hustler to try to grift the system.

[CrinkleCutCat]

So…. Dorit and ‘Mo’…. she’s calling him Mo these days 🤦‍♀️. He was paying her ALL of his attention at dinner (I went back for a second view of the dinner just to watch Dorit and Mo closely). What was with the sausage exchange?! 
 

D: Mo…

M: Yeah?

D: Is that sausage?

M: (looks closely) Yeah. Oh yeah, it’s sausage. It’s that chicken sausage that you asked for.

D: (looks up at M with a big grin) I didn’t ask for chicken sausage! 

M: (laughing)

Looked like a private joke to me. One that the producers felt worth airing!

[ivygirl]

Kyle egging on Sutton to walk into that mess with Erika and Crystal… 🙄🙄🙄

LOL the closeup on Dorit when Rinna said “We’d have Doritos…” 🤣

[hoodooznoodooz]

I am very impressed that Dorit exclaimed, “The headlines said that you refused to hand over the earrings!”

But then she folds again next week.

At least Kyle seems genuinely upset that Erika has no compassion for the victims. 
 

Weird argument: All of you should only feel compassion for me. You don’t know, you have never met the “alleged victims.”

[hoodooznoodooz]

Why am I showing compassion for people who are dogging me?

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Joseph Ruigomez is dogging Erika, folks. He’s dogging her.

Can Garcelle and Crystal just stfu? "If it were me"  girl bye.  In this instance I wouldn't have objected to Erika saying they should mind their business because they don't know how the process works. Even in her drunkenness she was right that there are serious repercussions if she goes and starts handing out jewelry. . .

No one is asking Erika to "start handing out jewelry."  It's ERIKA (not Garcelle/Crystal) who doesn't know how the process works or is willfully ignorant.  A bankruptcy proceeding is pending to recover items purchased with purloined client trust account money and to liquidate assets.  The earrings were purchased with client trust money. So she has no claim to the earrings. Can't keep them. She needs to turn them over to the trustee.

Likely, the bankruptcy trustee provided her attorney with the check, written on a client trust account, used to buy the earrings.  Cut & dried.  What "repercussions"? Disgorging the earrings implies NOTHING - one way or the other - about whether she did (or didn't) know Tom's source of money or was complicit.  Turning over the earrings does not establish anything about what she knew or did or assisted in.  These are issues for fraud or RICO or other lawsuits. Not the bankruptcy action. Two different issues that she's confused & intertwined - but wholly separate. 

And why the histrionics? She could have said, Gosh, I had no idea of what Tom was up to, but now that I do, I'm turning them over.  (That's what the judge/mistress did with HER jewelry.)  She could have said I'm  waiting for a formal bankruptcy court order before turning them over.  Instead, she lashed out.  Clinging to the earrings as a vestige of her past high-flying life.  Probably thinks she "earned" them.  But not legally hers to keep. Craving money, money, money - over scruples, over friends, over reason, over everything.

But if one thing is crystal clear: Taking client trust account money, i.e., money segregated in a special account for the client's benefit - is verboten. (And grounds for disbarment as any idiot in law school is taught.)  Of course, Erika is not bound to know this.  But it's really simple.  She received things purchased with client funds.  She needs to cough them up.  Not whine, snarl & scream.  Not blame her "friends" for trying to make her understand what she does not have the decency or logic to recognize.    

[hoodooznoodooz]

Next week on BH: Wow. It’s almost as if Dorit [and Rinna, Diana, Kyle??]  is[/are] in a cult. If they cross the cult, something really sinister may happen.

In the scene, Kyle is struggling. Dorit is trying to persuade her to excuse Erika’s attitude and terrible declaration that she only cares about herself.

Dorit seems to be panicking, too, trying to talk Kyle off the ledge.

I am not 100% sure that Erika and/or Rinna did not orchestrate this alliance, stating, “If anyone fails to support the alliance, all bets are off. Children are fair game.”

If only Erika would be even say something like: “Yes, Tom/Girardi Keese oversaw court cases for some terrible tragedies. Yes, he is currently being sued for mishandling the funds he won on their behalf. As to how this plays out for me, I am not going to discuss it until the legal process has played out. Until then, I’m going to hold my head up and trust the courts to make the right decision based on the facts, and I will comply.” And then canned it on the “I only care about ME” stuff. 

I wouldn’t be supportive of her necessarily… but it would be a better solution than running around being OVERLY prideful and defensive of herself.

No amount of jokes at Kathy’s expense will distract viewers from Kyles phony marriage. I wish the Mo cheating rumors would be brought up again so she could be in the hot seat.

They finally got a rise out of Erika and got her to admit she doesn’t give two shits about living large off her husbands dirty deeds. She is only sorry that her life style was impacted. Well done Garcelle and Crystal!

Worse than seeing Rinna open her inflatables to eat is seeing the woman open and close her legs repeatedly. Close your legs to Bravo cameras! 

[RHofOZ]

With regards to the tequila it is Casa Del Sol & it’s owned by Eva Longoria. Kathy & her family may be part owners or investors, but there is no way she was asking any of them to be investors. 
The tequila is already in bars & very heavily promoted by other celebrities. Lisa Rinna is just a jealous bitch. I can’t believe Kyle let’s other people treat her sisters so poorly. 
 

Erika is exactly what she called herself in the first season with that diamond encrusted necklace she was flaunting - c**ty!

Taylor Armstrong had to turn over all of her luxury goods when Russell died. Why does Erika  think she’s so special? 
 

Dorit is definitely looking for someone with real money, not a shyster. Look out Kyle.

There are so many lawsuits against them that it’s blurring.. so some insurance covered sone of the money that Tom stole and the lawyers are fighting to get that money back from them yes (which the lawyers should I mean it’s not a catch all get out of trouble free card  and apparently Erika thinks since insurance covered she shouldn’t be libel for which is a HUGE stretch)  .. there are also lawsuits from the burn victims and such that HAVE NOT been paid at all .. she’s trying to confuse and muddle this so it seems like ALL victims are lying when in reality she doesn’t want to give back ANY funds that were stolen 

bottom line is her husband stole money and Erika doesn’t want to have to give up things she knows were bought with the funds she is a crap person no matter what

This passive-aggressiveness Kyle constantly shows toward Kathy is pathetic, especially when Kyle has cried all over the reunion set that she regretted all the lost time and wanted to repair her relationship with her sister.

Every time Kathy gets invited on these trips, Kyle makes a point to ridicule — all done with a loving, sisterly smile, of course. Kathy takes all this in good humor (or just ignores it), but at some point even the saintliest of saints would get their fill and tell Kyle to cram it.

So what if Kathy doesn’t carry around a $50,000 Birkin? So what if she decides to make herself comfortable by wearing slippers on a flight rather than $50,000 Louboutin stiletto-heel boots? So what if she’d rather sleep in than go on an excursion bitchfest with the gals? As I told my kids when they would carp about something, is it hurting YOU?

Kathy is more “real” than all these hos put together (Garcelle excepted). She is actually a bright spot in this shitshow, exactly because she’s not pretentious and vain because she happens to have money. Like that wise old sage Luann deLesseps once said, “Money can’t buy you class.” Take note, Mrs. Umansky.

It is clear to see why these sisters don’t stay friendly for long periods of time Good God kyle lay off Who cares that she had on slippers seriously she is rich we all know this we don’t need to see her decked out 24/7 to be constantly reminded of that fact.  Move on and get off her back 

I used to ride horses with one of the Rothchilds.  One day she wanted a drink but had no change so I gave her a quarter (it was eons ago) and when her parents came to pick her up she told her Dad to reimburse me - he handed me a $100 bill.  She was mortified.

They drove a nice but older car, dressed nice but not showy and had more money than God, Moses and Mohammad.  You never would have known it because when you are THAT rich you do not have to be showy - they were lovely people.

Kyle - that is not you.

I love they tried to pull this same crap with Denise and her not being Glam enough. It’s like their yard stick of how wealthy you are that makes no sense. Now if they were at some big Gala I’d get it(yes don’t wear slippers and bring a birken) but come on

“Glam,” as in bitching about how your feet hurt from wearing designer shoes while tromping through airport terminals, and wondering how many rooms you’ll need to build onto your manse to hold those shoes and your hundreds of overpriced and impractical Birkins, that you worry will get stolen in a robbery?

No thanks. I’ll have a cup of coffee with Kathy Hilton and Denise Richards any day. You’re right — Denise never fit their mold so that was reason enough to swarm. Same with Kathy and Kyle. Kathy is clearly comfortable in her own skin. Can’t say the same for Kyle.

I’m not one to take notice of infidelity rumors but what originally got my attention was the night PK came to Kyle/Mo house after the break in….when Dorito side hugged Mo she had her arm around his upper back and then kissed him there…it caught my attention then and the dinner scene tonight also caught my attention. 
 

The side hug/kiss was…strange to me..

Kyle is such a piece of shit to Kathy.  Why does she care if her sister wears slippers on the plane or doesn’t carry a designer purse?  My god, she’s so jealous of her older sister it’s pathetic.  

I think it's more of a case that Kyle is jealous of Kathy's being so self-secure.  Kyle is very insecure - it shows in everything she does.  The many, many different designer purses and outfits, the needing to wear trendy clothes that don't necessarily work with her body type, the way she lashes out at people when they don't do or say what she thinks is best.  The constant competing witht the other women for relevancy.

Kathy is so secure in herself that she just doesn't give a shit what people think of her - hence, the wearing of slippers on a plane and a shopping bag as a purse.  I will admit that I find those things a little weird and I would probably make fun of my sister, too, if she did that.  Kathy has been seen carrying some great handbags and wearing some really high-end clothes - clothes that are obviously expensive and designer quality, even though they are not logo'd all over the place.  

I think that Kyle's insecurities stem from a lifetime of not being "good" enough, especially for their Mom.  Kathy was the "perfect" older sister, according to what Kyle says about their growing up.  Kim was the more popular and successful child actress.  I think this could probably all be blamed on their mother.

I'm not a fan of Kathy, and I think that she plays up the "eccentric rich woman" persona for the show.  I also think that Kathy and Kyle have had issues for most of their lives, whether it be jealousy, sibling rivalry or one feeling and acting superior over the over (Kathy over Kyle), and so now that Kyle and Mauricio are financially successful, Kyle is doing a little bit of push-back on Kathy.  Kathy is now in Kyle's territory (the show), so Kyle's going to show her dominance over Kathy in this situation, even if Kyle originally wanted Kathy to be on the show.

I'm not saying that Kyle's comments and actions are right, but Kyle probably feels justified, given that obviously on-off again acrimonious relationship she and Kathy have had. 

Just a different perspective - ymmv.

I can't with the complaints about Kathy shilling her product. I mean the show itself has been a multi year advert for The Agency -- merch, featured houses, parties for new branches opening; we've been subjected to a lot. We've seen Erika shill her club act,, her records and even her used clothes. Rinna with the HVC line, specifically the duster, the lip kit, the wine. But Kathy can't advertise her tequila?  Come on now.

Kyle seems like she's been jealous of Kathy for a long time.

[thesupremediva1]

Dear Lord help me, I almost see Erika's point. Tom kind of blew up her life, she's been dragged to court, she's been deemed guilty by association, she's got mounting legal bills, no access to funds, she lost her home of 17 years... she has to live and die by the law now, so why shouldn't everything else?

IF you believe that she knew nothing about Tom's fraud and where the money was coming from, then she is a victim too, and is a very convenient scapegoat now that Tom is allegedly a doddering old man in a nursing home. It was her husband's shady dealings that led to all this and somehow the pound of flesh is supposed to come off of her?! I get the indignation, and the idea that once you start handing stuff over willy nilly, where does it end?

BUT - and it's a big one - you can't keep casting dispersion on the actual victims. Questioning that they even exist and insinuating that it's all lies... kinda silly. It's pretty clear it's not. For some reason, she can't get outraged at Tom because it would invalidate the last 20 years. She's not ready to cross that bridge yet. I truly understand the whole "I'm only worried about myself" feeling. When you've lost everything and have no one to depend on and your security blanket of two decades is ripped out from under you, it's scary. It's fight or flight, and she has chosen fight. She has to worry about herself because no one else is. OK.

The chasm is really due to what no one will utter on camera - the court of public opinion, and at least several in the group, do NOT believe she was in the dark on Tom's shenanigans. Many believe she knew and turned a blind eye a la Carmela Soprano or actively participated like Bonnie to a geriatric Clyde, and enjoyed the rotten fruits of Girardi Keese's fraud. 

Has anyone started getting Blue Jasmine vibes yet from E? She's no Cate Blanchett but man it's hard not to think that's where she's heading.

Wow. Erika’s The ‘victims’?! I’m the victim! The only person I care about is myself! tirade was reminiscent of Jack Nicholson in “A Few Good Men.”

 

It was as if Matlock circled back and said, “Oh, just one more question… What about the victims?” And she just lost her damn mind, incriminating herself as a heartless, self-centered bitch, even if it technically isn’t “criminal.” Her lackeys knew there was no coming back from that! The whole cast was the embodiment of the mind-exploding emoji, and Rinna couldn’t pull her off stage right fast enough to save her from saying anything worse. But, truly, could she have said anything worse?! Man, just when I thought Diana calling Sutton a  See You Next Tuesday was bad, Erika’s like, hold my Hilton whatever-branded tequila.

I get what you are saying @thesupremediva1. I also thought Erika, who I cannot stand, actually did a good job of explaining her (morally bankrupt) position. Her claim is that she knew nothing, so she's also a victim, and that she thinks the victims may have been paid already. She was doing a pretty good job laying out her case I thought, until her inner evil exposed itself.  I don't think for a second she was changing any minds, but she was, for the first time, presenting her side.

The problem with the earrings, and that entire "I will do only what the court directs me to do" position, is that even if it's perfectly legal to keep the earrings, it's a low level moral choice.  What kind of person would even want to keep those earrings knowing they have been bought with settlement money designated for widows, orphans and burn victims? If she had any decency, at the very least, instead of travelling with them, she'd ask for her attorneys to keep them in some sort of voluntary escrow situation, until the matter was settled.  And then even if she's legally entitled to keep them, how about selling and donating the proceeds, or at least some of the proceeds. I mean is she planning to wear them? Like oh look, Erika is wearing the stolen-from-widows, orphans and burn victims" earrings tonight. How fetching they look.  ?

It was interesting to see Rinna hustle her out of there. Notice she did wait til the damage was good and done though.

The fucking audacity of Kyle, Rinna and Erika to sit at the breakfast table calling Garcelle and Sutton the mean girls? My head almost exploded.

Kyle sure was pushy trying to get Sutton to get up and get involved. Kyle lives to see Sutton get yelled at. I'm glad Sutton for once stayed out of it. It looked like Garcelle and Crystal had it handled. And finally, Crystal showed up. 

I'm convinced that Kyle was begging Erika to stop saying those things was not because the things she was saying were awful, it was because Kyle couldn't defend it. Because as well all know, the FF5 have to defend each other no matter what.

[BusyOctober]

Kathy, Kim and Kyle grew up with the same mother (who screwed them all up in their own ways).  The chase for wealthy men to “keep” the girls & herself  in high end lifestyles was priority one.  
 

Kathy married a Hilton and from all accounts, it’s been a good match.  He was born into wealth and showed Kathy what ‘old’ or inherited money looks like.  The live very well, have lots of expensive material things at their disposal and any outsider would envy their extravagant lifestyle.  

But as many luxury items Kathy may have, she doesn’t seem to have the same “lookit me!” mannerisms that Kyle does.  Kyle and her coven cohorts all behave like ‘new’ money.  It’s gotta be designer branded if it’s in their homes, on their bodies or on their dinner plates, no matter how ridiculous the item is. And, they will tell you the cost & who is the designer even though it’s probably loudly emblazoned on the item.  Not saying Kathy hasn’t dropped designer names (Garcelle and Sutton do it too), but Kyle, Rinna, Dorit, Erika and Diana put it all on display as loudly as possible.  I can’t remember the exact quote, but Kathy mostly seems to have embraced the “New money shouts, Old money whispers” adage. 

Speaking of the outlandish clothing these women wear…it’s obvious to me these women wear the crazy looks only to stand out and force the rest of the coven to ask, “Is that [insert exclusive designer here]??”  I am sure brands like Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Balenciaga, Gucci, etc make more subdued clothes and accessories, but these SM famewhores gravitate toward the items that scream “NEW MONEY WALKING HERE!”

I had no issue with Kathy wearing slippers on a plane or through the airport, but it got weird once she left the airport in Aspen because ... hello, it is cold, there's snow on the ground and probably ice.

I’m a skier and if I saw that much logo coming down the trail I’d stay FAR away. No one who really can ski would wear that 😱 

Between Rinna and Dorit, it was ridiculous!!  Even Dorit's helmet was logo'd (Fendi-?)!!!  When I looked at their ski fashion, it was obvious that Kyle and Crystal are the true skiers - their apparel was probably super expensive, but it also was understated (no apparent logos), practical and looked good on them.

It was also well insulated and form fitting, as much ski apparel is these days.  No gigantic, over-sized puffer jackets, no neon green faux fur, no over the top logos to make them stand out from other skiers.  

You would think that Dorit, not having been on skis for over 20 years would NOT want to draw attention to herself, in case someone would realize that a Real Housewife was falling on her butt every five feet, or heading for the trees.

I can't figure out what Diana was trying to prove with that Oscar the Grouch/Grinch faux fur get up!  

And, well, Rinna - she just tries too hard with everything, and looks ridiculous.

Anyone with even a lingering ounce of sympathy for Erika should have been "cured" last night. Even Vile Kyle admitted it is indefensible. Casting doubt on the ACTUAL victims an then announcing what 99.9% of us already knew, she cares about no one but herself. And that BS about listening to the courts? They ordered you to turn them over. Obviously, Kathy must pay for her popularity. How dare she try to hawk something on the show. I mean Lisa wouldn't do that, or Erika or Dorit.....oh wait. Never mind. But Kathy is popular so let's cut her down. Kyle is so jealous of Kathy she can't stand it. Vile is a horrible sister, no wonder she cannot maintain relationships with either sister. When is Mauricio getting his Diamond and why are we subjected to one more horrible person on this show. Stay home and get stoned MO, you are Borrrring.

I think she would argue that appeals are part of the process. And once exhausted, she'll do what the last judge tells her to do.

(Btw, I am not defending Erika. I never have.)

Apologies if this has already been discussed, admittedly I'm too lazy to go through the thread right now...

But can someone clarify to me the importance of Kathy and the Casa Del Sol tequila? As far as I know, that brand is owned by Eva Longoria. Does Kathy have a vested connection to the business, or is it that she just really likes it and wanted to share it with the other women? 

I see a lot of talk on social media this morning about the tequilas (Casa Del Sol vs Kendal Jenner's 818) and Kathy drama and I'm lost. lol 

In other news, Kyle is such a shitty sister. It's no wonder why both Kathy and Kim have had multiple falling-outs with her.

This passive-aggressiveness Kyle constantly shows toward Kathy is pathetic, especially when Kyle has cried all over the reunion set that she regretted all the lost time and wanted to repair her relationship with her sister.

Every time Kathy gets invited on these trips, Kyle makes a point to ridicule — all done with a loving, sisterly smile, of course. Kathy takes all this in good humor (or just ignores it), but at some point even the saintliest of saints would get their fill and tell Kyle to cram it.

So what if Kathy doesn’t carry around a $50,000 Birkin? So what if she decides to make herself comfortable by wearing slippers on a flight rather than $50,000 Louboutin stiletto-heel boots? So what if she’d rather sleep in than go on an excursion bitchfest with the gals? As I told my kids when they would carp about something, is it hurting YOU?

Kathy is more “real” than all these hos put together (Garcelle excepted). She is actually a bright spot in this shitshow, exactly because she’s not pretentious and vain because she happens to have money. Like that wise old sage Luann deLesseps once said, “Money can’t buy you class.” Take note, Mrs. Umansky.

From day ONE Kyles MO (mode of operation not husband) is to giggle and poke and laugh in a group setting at someone’s expense. It’s usually done kinda of subtly so she gets a feel of the group and feel out the various reactions. This way she can see the vibe and who goes for it and who doesn’t. It’s a slick measuring stick. Anyone who catches on is usually unsure how to address it cause A. It was done under the guise of friendly ribbing and B. There are always supporters  to that sort of behavior so that means Kyle will have automatic defenders (most likely the ones who cackled at “joke”) cause if they don’t then they are just as guilty and whose gonna own up to that in a group setting for something “so minor” which no doubt will be the excuse. “It ain’t that serious” is the Mantra of seasoned bullies. You end up looking like your unhinged or dramatic (Sutton) or conniving  and manipulative (Camille, LVP). It’s a lose, lose and Kathy, having plenty of experience with Kyle just blows her off and doesn’t even take the bait (usually). Especially with cameras rolling. 

I’ve been hot and cold with Kyle over the seasons cause when she stays out of mess she can be fun and funny but I’ll never ever think of her as anything but and mean girl at heart. When Bethany Frankel and Faye Resnick are you close close friends that right there says it all. Just saying.

Isn’t Kyle good friends with Kris Jenner? Another reason to dislike Kyle if you ask me…

Anyone with even a lingering ounce of sympathy for Erika should have been "cured" last night. Even Vile Kyle admitted it is indefensible. Casting doubt on the ACTUAL victims an then announcing what 99.9% of us already knew, she cares about no one but herself. And that BS about listening to the courts? They ordered you to turn them over. Obviously, Kathy must pay for her popularity. How dare she try to hawk something on the show. I mean Lisa wouldn't do that, or Erika or Dorit.....oh wait. Never mind. But Kathy is popular so let's cut her down. Kyle is so jealous of Kathy she can't stand it. Vile is a horrible sister, no wonder she cannot maintain relationships with either sister.

She was in rare, vile form, for sure. That showed me that she did know what was going on, despite what that court ruling said, or at least had a pretty good idea. To go off like that, bared fangs and all, was telling. She was beyond defensive —. more like rabid.

But her saying that she didn’t care about the victims was probably one of the more honest statements I’ve heard. She finally came out and actually said it. She should have been pressed like this at last season’s reunion, TBH, instead of getting Andy’s weak-ass softballs. 

Temperature has to drop at least 100 degrees whenever that soulless woman enters a room.

This franchise is really in a death spiral thanks to this cast.

Kathy's an investor, as is her daughter.  So, sure, her wanting the women to taste it was self-serving, in that she's trying to get publicity for the brand that will benefit her.  Gee, no HW has EVER done that. /sarcasm

Has Erika filed for bankruptcy or is she part of Tom’s bankruptcy?

Not as yet AFAIK, but she may not have much choice.

After last night, she should be radioactive in terms of publicity, gigs, promotional offers, etc.
