Erika Girardi/Erika Jayne: Let them eat cake

[hoodooznoodooz]

It’s truly obscene that she has not deleted the Instagram post with the widows and orphans earrings.

WHAT THE FUCK?????  😮

Yep.

That IG cartoon makes me nauseous on numerous levels, but Erika Jayne as SCAPEGOAT? (ETA self-proclaimed scapegoat?) Please. 

What, pray tell, is she the scapegoat FOR this season?

Holy shit. 

She is truly delusional.

Those bumps could be acne or acne scarring. 

I’ve thought both Ramona and Vicki have acne scarring and sun damage. While we’ve had many cosmetic advancements over the years there’s only so much that can be done about skin texture. 
Erika was still in her 20s when she became a wealthy wife so I believe her when she says she was in the dermatologist’s office in her 20s.
The Retin A, avoiding the sun, corpse sleeping, ice rolling, and various in office treatments of lasers and potions can help keep Father Time at bay but we have to put in the efforts and start as early as we can. 
I think Vicki didn’t care much about her skin or face until she ended up on television then it became a dysmorphia.

Absolutely. I get angry with myself when I eat terribly and it shows up on my face. I used to have really bad acne, and I still break out sometimes. I have no idea how many thousands of dollars I've spent treating my scars. I'm all for lasers, but they're not quite the miracle workers some people think they are. 

I've been using Retin-A for awhile, and I've never been a sun worshiper. Both seem to have paid off. I don't have Erika's flawless skin, but I do look younger than my age. I'll have to look into ice rolling. I struggle with the corpse sleeping! lol I have a pillow that helps. I think I've mentioned that here before, but I still move around in my sleep. Insomnia! I envy peaceful sleepers.

Lasers can only do so much. But I’ve also seen microneedling (in office using larger needles) and carboxy improve areas that miracle lasers didn’t touch. 
Ice rolling helps a puffy face or evens things out if you’re a side sleeper. I thought it was ridiculous until I tried it. 

I’m curious what her next moves will be. She’s acting way too unstable on social media.

I need to try microneeding again! I've done it before, but it was done at a med spa place. I'll have to look into carboxy too. Sounds like I need the ice rolling. You're full of knowledge, thank you!

I'm curious too. I used to be embarrassed being a Brandi fan at first. Now I feel shame for being an Erika fan. I don't know if there was a halo effect with her due to her looks or what.

I don’t know. I need a rewatch because on memory I remember finding her icy but interesting, mysterious at the time. Not someone I’d ever want to be friends with but interesting to watch. 
Brandi? Ugh. Me too. I went in to it more in her thread but she wasted such an amazing opportunity.

Maybe I liked Erika because she reminded me a bit of other reality stars I liked at first. A lot of people compared her to Holly Madison her debut season. I see the similarities at first glance, but their personalities are definitely different. 

Brandi had so many fans, such a shame . . .

It happens.  I defended Dorit her first season.

And you KNOW how much I loved me some LeeAnn Locken up until her last season.....

I enjoyed Ericka up until her first concert.  She was all "I say what I say and I'm unafraid".  And then when people started asking if she told Yolanda stuff, it was all "I'm not talking about that right now.  I need to decompress".  And then I knew she was Phoney Baloney.

I never was a fan - but to think at one time I saw her as just a cheap trick that forgot to get out of the truck at that last truck stop. But .... fraud, felonies, taking $25 million from Girardi-Keese that she knew would never be paid back - it would take a frickin' asshat not to question the kinda money theft it takes for G/K to throw that bundle away. 

Now she's trying to play ice queen and victim at the same time. Not working,

You're right, that was the first time Erika showed attitude. In the beginning, whether it was Vanderpump poking at her or Bethany being brutally honest, Erika was so cool. I thought, oh this is a nice woman, I hope the others aren't nasty to her due to being with a much older man or being a pop star at her age or whatever.

After WWC, I can't hear Reza cry without wanting to crack up. 

I'm with y'all on LeeAnne. She was kind of made to be on TV. She's beautiful, had stories to tell, could be quite funny, and gave the show her all. I'm a sucker for someone who's hard on the outside but soft on the inside. That's how I Initially saw both LeeAnne and Erika. I loved LeeAnne despite the flaws until her last season. I only really liked Erika her debut season, but I didn't think she was among the worst until now.

Although taking the Fifth isn’t supposed to be seen as an admission of guilt… 

And did Tom miraculously regain his faculties? I was kind of feeling sorry for him after seeing the Page Six pictures. I should know better by now. He should have stuck with the beaten-up-and-confused-old-man shtick instead of signing a legal document under penalty of perjury.

I did — I found her refreshing, in a weird way, especially how she made the other women clutch their pearls at times, and because of her outrageous stage act that passed for talent. But her quick temper and iciness made me look twice. I think PK was on to something by calling her out at Vanderpump’s party — with each passing season she’s become more unlikeable because of her high-horse attitude. She’s not a nice person, in more ways than one.

Acting suddenly old and feeble seems to be what all high-profile male defendants do.  See: Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby.

Tom and Erika both suck.

[amarante]

The Judge presiding over the bankruptcy proceedings just shot down Erika's attempt to have Ronald Richards thrown off the case. He is an attorney who was hired by the Trustee to track down the assets which means he is using those pesky forensic accountants that Erika fears to claw back the money that she and Tom schemed to hide.

As has been posted by many of us, whether she actively knew or didn't know is beside the point because she is attempting by any means to hold on to every single dollar after knowing that it was stolen from widows, orphans and burn victims.

Here is a portion of the Judge's ruling which is pretty damning

The order reads, “It appears to be nothing more than a blatant attempt by Ms. Girardi to impede Mr. Richards’ efforts on behalf of the trustee to investigate allegedly fraudulent transfers of the debtor’s assets to Ms. Girardi and to prosecute an action against her to recover those transfers for the benefit of the estate.” 

Further, the judge says Richards’ tweets about Jayne did not violate any ethical rules. As a result, the investigation into Jayne will move forward full speed ahead.

Jayne denies she knew anything about her husband's finances. She claims he left her in the dark. His creditors and victims feel otherwise.

Great article…. Encapsulates what we have all been noticing and commenting on all season.

From the article, re Erika suddenly being ‘open’ about her life after six years of being the opposite:

“You’re watching a group of performers who are in on this ruse that we’re also in on, and we know everything they’re doing is a little fake. But now this other performer that they thought was on the same page is acting in a performance that they didn’t know about,” O’Donnell told me. “You almost feel like they’re looking off camera and are asking, like, what pages of the script is this on?”

I’m not sure if there is a script for how to act when your coworker is accused of being an accomplice to embezzlement, stealing settlement money from her ex-husband’s plane crash victim clients. What we’re seeing, for the first time in a while, is the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills acting in very real, very unrehearsed ways. It just took a very real lawsuit to make it happen.

It is spot on. Suddenly the woman who always acted superior to everyone else, who seemed to think that prancing around half naked on stage actually meant she was a "star" is trying to play victim and it is not working. She also wants to pretend she is finally confiding in these fake friends that we all know she never gave a damn about, except it is painfully obvious that she isn't "confiding" in them either, she is lying through her capped, whitened teeth and wearing non waterproof mascara as part of the act. I think I am as fascinated by how she seems to think anyone is buying her fake act as I am by the act itself. But, as bad as this is for Erika, it's a huge score for BRAVO. The last two seasons of this have been tedious at best. Although I was not a huge Denise fan, she is a bit rough around the edges for my taste, I was still livid at the Coven for putting her on trial about possibly having sex with another consenting adult. Yet, this year, bring on the interrogation. As I think Sutton was trying to say when she used the term "white collar", this is NOT a victimless crime, and Erika is doing herself far more damage than anyone else is and I am here for it.

I’m so happy she’s too arrogant and stupid to decline appearing this season.

This article reminded me that she told People magazine in 2018, that, in the first few years of her “marriage,” 

“I was in a wealthy coma, and I wasn’t looking inward.”

Because now she looks inward.
 

Right.

I loved the Judge in the Bankruptcy case telling her NEW lawyer that he didn't appreciate her trying to re-litigate the ruling about Richards' role and that he also isn't imposing a gag order on him either (they were whining about his tweets).  From the article in the Daily Journal on this ruling, I got the impression the judge has Miss Erika's number and knows exactly what she's up to with hiding assets.

I couldn’t agree more. It’s just so infuriating and incredible how he worked the system for decades to exploit the victims. All those bar complaints ignored. I can’t imagine how helpless his victims must have felt.  He was even nicknamed the judge maker because of his influence. Apparently one of those power brokers, Beck, even showed up in an episode where Tom the snake has lunch with Erika.

Thanks for the heads up….. I went and had a look. Lots of flak aimed at her. Anyone defending her not knowing about Tom’s shady dealings are getting replies pointing out that she knows NOW, and she should -at least- stop flaunting her wealthy lifestyle/jewellery/glam and show some humility and lay low on social media, let alone show some empathy to the victims who have not received their rightful settlement monies.

This is why I didnt believe the other idiot knew what her husband was doing and I dont believe Ericka was in on Tom's shenanigans. Men like that don't include their wives in their schemes and if they do, they keep it simple so the woman are clueless (here, sign this mortgage doc so we can get a home equity loan, here take some money and pay your glam squad so you can be a star). And then they push them to tv shows to keep them occupied so the attention is off the men and on the women. 

In my early twenties,  I was married to a CPA that had an extremely lucrative government bond trading/investment banking firm. I worked throughout this brief marriage as a nurse. I was always very nervous about the huge sums of money floating around, trips for lunch in Paris on the Concorde, etc. He wanted me to sign a joint tax return. Given the huge disparity in our incomes, I felt very nervous about it. I went to another CPA to get advice, and he advised me to file "married filing as single".  Which I did throughout this marriage. He was ultimately charged (after our divorce) with defrauding customers for millions, yet when the investgators began to determine whether I had any culpability, it was decided by my taking that simple step, I had acknowledged the fact that I was not in any way shape or form involved in his income development, or subsequent fraud. As a pretty simple-minded person from the Midwest, my personal experience strains my credibility about Erica's "ignorance".  I feel that the Girardis viewed her career, and his career, as jointly held businesses, and how they justified the loans from his business to her business. Thus, diversion of funds is usually incremental overtime. They start out taking small amounts, and have to escalate when they can't cover the initial theft. She may have been naively thinking "this is how people do business", and believed that they would always be able to eventually cover their misappropriations with another huge judgement for him, or increases in her income as a performer. It seems to me, that there is an escalation in their attempt to amp up a profitable career for her, that parallels his aging process. Those interested can read more about such tendencies under Sunk Loss Fallacy. I suspect this was the mindset of their marriage.
