Erika Girardi/Erika Jayne: Let them eat cake

[hoodooznoodooz]

Do we think James Lewis Wilkes II paid the producer to let Erika play Roxie Hart again?
 

 

“Four years after the COVID-19 pandemic cut her run as Roxie Hart in Chicago short, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star will return to the role next year for a limited three-week run. PEOPLE can exclusively announce Jayne's casting. Audiences can catch her in the musical from Jan. 20, 2025 through Feb 9, 2025.”

I'm not surprised (although I'm a little shocked). It seems other HWs, or Bravolebrities played the role of Roxy (Ariana Maddix, Lisa Renna), or participated on Broadway musicals (Nene Leakes, Kandi Burruss from the Atlanta HWs). It's a sign of the times. They are preferred because audiences are familiar with them.

Broadway tickets aren’t always cheap; especially for a decent seat. I’m sure these tv and movie personalities are brought in to sell more tix to their fans. Do they get paid handsomely for their guest spots? I’ve always heard that Broadway performers don’t make a ton of money compared to someone on a tv show or has a movie career. I hope she isn’t taking money away from another actress whose income is playing Roxy. 
My friend was just saying yesterday that she’s ready for us to go to NYC to see some shows plus I want to go to the Hayden Planetarium (I’ve been to all the art and history museums and galleries multiple times) Hmm..should I take one for the team? My friend has no idea who Erika is so it would be a honest perspective.

I too thought about going, the ticket prices are high but maybe the TKTS stand will have half price tickets. I haven't been to NYC in forever, should we plan a Prime timer field trip?

That could be fun. I’d be coming up with my friend who’s a hoot. We could all meet up. I’ll talk to her to see what her schedule is and get back to you. BTW, I doubt she even knows who Erika Jane is as she never watches Bravo. To her it would all be about the show Chicago.

I would totally meet you in NYC, you should prepare your friend with Erika's whole back story about how she got the roll of Roxy Hart by using funds stolen from accident victims, allegedly.

My friend’s career has been as a court recorder. She’s get it in a heartbeat. She has even worked in the White House. I’ll keep you posted.

My DVR recorded Season 11. Erika looks soooo bad at the reunion. She has jowls, and her dress looks like she found it in a dumpster behind TJMaxx.

Wow. I'm a little jealous. I have always had NYC as number one on my list of U S. cities I want to visit. Probably will never have the opportunity. 

And fuck Erika. I wish she would leave the show.

From that reunion.

In her pre Ozempic era, with less money for a proper glam squad, and facial treatments like fillers and botox (I mean not from Groupon, and I'm not slamming Groupon).

She has the chutzpah to wear a cross while complaining that she was Tom Girardi’s victim. He duped her even more shamelessly than the alleged widow, orphan, and burn victims.

I'm not sure he duped her.

Tom Girardi and Erika were both sued in 2020 for the 2018 Lion Air plane crash for allegedly embezzling settlement funds intended to help the victims/their relatives. The documents were served at their Pasadena house. She can't deny she knew since at least 2020. Her conflicting statements on the show (that she was either involved in the law firm, or that she was the dumb blonde who didn't even know how to use a debit card) are not convincing. Didn't she realize huge amounts of money from lawsuits ended up in her own company (EJ Global LLC) account? 

She legally separated after this lawsuit in order not to be responsible anymore for the marital debt (from then on).
