Erika Girardi/Erika Jayne: Let them eat cake

This is all just a big “fuck you” to everybody. She’s showing her ass — in more ways than one. Her lawyers have to be pulling their hair out. 

EDIT: She’s getting roasted in a lot of the comments. So glad to see that some people aren’t drinking her Kool-Aid.

Has she really tried to insult her detractors by calling them fat and toothless? I’d bet anything Rinna secretly considers Erika overweight.

I would enjoy a Thunderdome scenario with Dorinda and Erika. Limited alcohol.

I would like for Dorinda to launch a roast chicken at Erika and then put her face into a lit birthday cake.

I saw Tom as both parents actually. He gave her stability, praise, attention, inclusion she never received from either parent and a safe environment to become what she wanted. Almost like she was subconsciously reparented. 
I don’t believe she actually hated being a wife the first ten years, hosting all the charity events. I think her lack of particular social skills made it hard. 

Yes, I remember when she cried after Tom told her he was proud of her and she said it was all she ever wanted. I thought, this poor thing never got praise growing up. I know that hurt little girl is still there, but it's hard to feel for her when she's so nasty.

I think Erika has a killer bod, but my guess is Rinna considers everyone other than herself and Dorit overweight.

I find it hard to dredge up any sympathy for her in general. Nobody has a perfect parent and most of us find a way to be normal human beings and not angry assholes. Lack of praise growing up doesn't even rate a 1 on the scale of a lousy childhood.

Holy Upcoming Indictment, Batman ! 

Her photo: well if that isnt one giant eff you to the public...and potential jury. 

It's probably also a job application. Someone: hire me. 

And checkout the red soled Christian Louboutin's. Poor, poor girl.

Compared to Lisa , everyone looks fat, just have to say.

Which is not to say she's making herself look great here. This is really something her lawyers are probably screaming about and alienates people who might be supporters, IF she has any left.

I'm not comparing Erika to Lisa, I'm comparing her to my eyes.  I think she is a complete fat-ass.  I've been told there are those who like the sort of thing. Not me.  She looks fat and that is nothing to be proud of.  Hope she finds the females who like her in prison.

 

[charliesan]

I do think she has an amazing body, but if she's trying to snatch another sugar daddy I think it might be too late for her, I'm sure there are plenty of women way younger than her and with definitely less baggage who would be more than willing to "just" be a regular trophy wife at Kathy's country club. 

If she was sending a message to kiss her ass, well then that's unfortunate... For her.

By the look of that instagram pic, she’s trawling for money again - perhaps her latest sugar daddy realized she’s not worth another influx of cash. Message she’s sending: If you give me a buttload of money, I’ll help you think about a buttload of sex.

Or it could be, “If I’m going to go down, then I’m going down in FLAMES!” 

She’s showing a self-destructive streak that’s getting worse by the day. She just needs to lay very low for awhile. Being on the show, when all of this was still coming to light, is one thing. But pair that with this daily display of arrogance — good luck trying to get anybody to defend her, in court or out. I’m sure she’ll have her groupies, but even felons in prison have their fan clubs. The rest of us know better.

(Either that, or she’s auditioning for the 9 p.m. Tuesday-Friday show at the Bada-Bing.)

Haha, what are your thoughts on people like J.Lo? Everyone thinks she has the best figure ever, but my dream bod is bigger boobs, trimmer tush and thighs. Erika's proportions are really nice because she has an hourglass shape. If I look like her at her age, I'd be thrilled. She's lacking in inner beauty, but her exterior is gorgeous to me. 

Whatever we all think of her ass, it's definitely a poor taste to post that right now.

Right, hence the rest of my post. I didn't get much praise growing up either. I think Erika has a victim mentality. She is always dramatic. Eileen uses a bad analogy, and she goes ballistic. What PK said about her was wrong, but I thought she overreacted there too. She seems like someone who looks to be offended. Her I give no fucks schtick was so stupid. She gives more fucks than any of them.

She has to dominate, in every situation, by whatever means. The way she turned on Eileen was one of the scarier scenes in any Housewives franchise, IMO. And even then, she managed to coax sympathy out of LVP, of all people. Eileen used a poor choice of words (who hasn’t, at some point?) and Erika should have let it go, knowing it was an innocent slip on the part of a friend. But no…we got anger and tears, with Eileen winding up apologizing to her, and of course her blowing it off.

What are you referring to with PK? The only thing I remember him saying was he thought she was inherently cold, which was 100% on the money. Was it something at the reunion?

Right about the time Erika became involved with the show.  Perhaps she began to realize that she needed to find a way to generate her own income (and advertise for a new wallet).

Also, I guarantee Andy doesn't give a rat's ass about Erika's victims.

Yea he is scum but nobody is forcing these women to debase themselves in the first place. Who in their right mind would do a Real Housewives show?

I guess these women are not in their right minds because most of them fight pretty darn hard to keep their diamonds, apples, oranges etc. Right now Dorinda is campaigning hard to get her apple back. I agree it is on them when they choose to debase themselves for this gig. Some of them get used to the money from the show and need it to support themselves.

Remember, we're coming off of the Olympics and I believe a beautiful toned body is the best ever.  As in, not J Lo or Erica.  If they win a race, I'll reconsider.  Until then, fatties.

Exactly. I can't imagine a friend of mine yelling at me to stfu the way Erika did to poor, sweet Eileen. Can't forget what Erika said about Denise's kids either. Even if she didn't mean it that way, if someone said it about her child, she'd go bananas. 

This is what PK said:

“Maybe Erika’s bits are available for the world?” He then adds, "What am I supposed to say? Close your legs darling, I don’t like the view? I didn’t mind the view!” 

He apologized at the reunion, and Erika didn't accept it and kept cursing, asking why he was even there, and saying now both he and Dorit have to apologize to Tom. 

I agree that what he said about inherently cold was right on.

Yes. I think that's where there's so much talk about who's heard of who, who has the most twitter followers, jealousy of who's the most popular/famous, etc. I don't see the appeal of fame personally. Even as a good, honest person, life's so much less stressful not worrying about your privacy and what's being said about you. I'd imagine that's especially true when you do have stuff to hide.

I agree attacking Kyle  is a big mistake.  It's just another reason I think Erika really isn't too bright. 

I honestly don't understand how Erika thinks these women owe her loyalty or even friendship; I don't remember her ever behaving like a good friend to any of them.  If she has and I've forgotten it, someone please remind me.   Erika has always been about Erika on this show.

[pasdetrois]

Sounds like a promo to generate viewers. Scripted.

I am skeptical about this news as around the first time I read something about this I swear I could hear Erika's voice in the background of an instagram story Teddi put up at Kyle's house about 4 or 5 days ago so that is after the last episode aired.  

I suppose it's possible they have already had a viewing of this weeks episodes and she sees something in it that changes things suddenly.  But they seemed fine as of Friday-ish and all the ladies (of whatever that fox group calls themselves) still seem quite friendly as of this past weekend and filming was long ago and they all had access to the same news that we have had and still seem to be holding firm as friends.

So is she seriously surprised that Kyle is two faced.? Kyle's friendship with Vanderpump was much longer and certainly, at least in the early seasons, much more real and she turned on her. She outed her own sister as an alcoholic on national TV. And Erika is upset that the most stealth shit stirrer (Rinna is bad, but doesn't know how to be stealth) on the show played both sides? It's kind of like marrying a guy that cheated on his wife with you. You already know he's a cheater. If you watch a so-called friend backstabbing everyone else, don't act surprised when she does it to you.

I mean, we can't know until and unless it happens. I could absolutely see Erika being upset with anyone who isn't all "I 100% buy every cockamamie story that Erika is selling!" And I can also just see this as some silly rumor that someone is putting forward.

Okay, but shouldn't that come from Sutton? Even if I think Kyle was stirring the pot in last week's episode, in a showdown between Kyle and Erika over whether or not Erika is lying, I am going to be on Kyle's side. I do think it would be fine for Sutton to take Kyle to task. But Erika? No. I'll never think she has the high ground in this situation.

She must be riding roughshod over her attorneys.

She can’t say that she can’t answer any questions about the case (as Dorit did with her legal troubles), since it’s been front-and-center since about Ep.3. My prediction: Andy will lob softballs (“So, Erika, how HAVE you been holding up this year?”); Erika will wear her non-waterproof mascara; she’ll do her usual “You don’t know the TORTURE I’ve been through, YOU DON’T KNOW!!!”; she’ll cry softly and Kyle and Rinna will come running to her side with boxes of Kleenex as Garcelle and Sutton roll their eyes; and she’ll leave before they take their group toast at the end — hopefully to never return.

Andy will not go there about the widows, orphans, and burn victims. 

TL,DR: She’ll suck the air out of the room, as she usually does.

It's a well written summary of everything Ericka has done this season, what we've seen so far.  Everything is something that's been discussed on these forums - her acting, her trying to control her own narrative  and where that was unsuccessful.  Finally, the last paragraph: 

But the performance she’s delivering now — the mob-boss threats coupled with her evasiveness and contradictory statements — undercuts the sympathy she was building in the first half of the season. Anyone who questions her has become the enemy, from her castmates to the “dumb bitches” who tweet at her, which makes it that much harder to feel compassion for the position she’s now in. Whatever hope Erika had of emerging triumphant is buckling under the combined weight of the allegations and the expectations of being a Housewife. What we’re left with is less Erika Jayne taking a bow after “Hot Honey Rag” and more Erika Jayne in an act of desperation.

Thanks!

[nexxie]

imo Kathryn Edwards has it about right.

https://radaronline.com/p/kathryn-edwards-rhobh-erika-jayne-embezzlement-victims-tom-girardi-marriage/

From the article:

“If she wants to hold a ground that she knew nothing because she has to and that's what her lawyers are counseling her with, fine. But she could show some remorse," said Edwards. "She could show some sympathy."

"I am blown away by how cold she is," she continued, adding that Jayne should "give the s--t back. Give it to the rightful owners. I would be so beyond embarrassed to ever talk about what I spent, go get my damn hair done, to drive a Range Rover, to do any of that stuff when all of these victims are owed money. ... I cannot. I cannot in any way, shape or form be OK with any of that. That, to me, is sick."

<snip>

“They laid out all the jewelry and the shoes and the makeup," she continued. "I mean, it was like a full freaking production. It was crazy. And I remember just looking at it all, and all of the clothes, the shoes and the sunglasses, and how much that was there, and thinking, 'How much is she even going to wear in the four days that we were there?' But thinking it was so over the top, and her telling me that she flew them all out business class."

"And you know, the meals," she went on. "And then we come back and sit at the table in the suite, and you know, everyone would be ordering, and she would just sign for everything... I remember just thinking, 'Holy shit, this girl spends money like it's coming out of tap.'"

<snip>

Additionally, Edwards feels Jayne's more than two-decade marriage to Girardi was nothing more than "a business deal."

"It's money, honey. That's it," she said. "That's all it was. It was a business deal for her. I don't think she has close friends. I don't think she's ever known love. Now, she doesn't have a career. I don't think she has anything."
