Erika Girardi/Erika Jayne: Let them eat cake

If Erika were a nice person who showed concern about the orphans and widows her husband stole from, didn't bully, curse out and threaten her cast mates, I think a lot of us would feel more favorably to her. It's not all about what Tom did. 

I as once a fan too, but we can agree to disagree as far as how bad Erika is compared to the others. 

Just from what we've seen on the show...if we got rid of Erika then we'd get rid of Rinna, Porsha, Marlo, Ramona, Bethenny, a lot of wives for being not the greatest. 

Erika has bored me more than she has entertained me so if she left it wouldnt be that big of a loss to me but from what we see on the show do I think she has to be fired? no.

[Stats Queen]

Whether Erika is knowingly complicit in Tom’s dealings is not yet proven one way or another. 
My issue with Erika is that even after all of Tom’s stealing others money was found out, she still didn’t give a %#&&. She has said and posted callus things about the victims who didn’t receive their settlements and did not willingly turn over earrings that were valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s just a pair of earrings and there are victims who can’t pay their hospital bills because they never received their settlement funds.

Those earrings, Erika Jayne’s company, and Erika’s lifestyle were all funded by ill gotten gains. Even after she learned this (assuming she didn’t know beforehand), she still didn’t care for anyone but herself.

I wouldn’t she’d any tears if they got rid of Rinna. Used to be a fan of hers too, but she’s too mean for my tastes. I don’t know much about the others, but Bethany has done a lot of humanitarian work. Whatever she’s like on NY, sounds like she has a heart.

And exactly @Stats Queen.

The main difference between Erika and the others (excluding Rinna) is that Erika's lack of sympathy for real life victims is very upsetting. Her "I don't care" attitude is sickening.

When the others are 'not the greatest', they're dealing with each other...making drama. Erika is just a selfish person who lacks compassion for ANY victim, much less Tom's victims.

Rinna is a mean bitch, plain & simple. Nasty to the core...which is why she & Erika get along so well.

This is my issue. If this was me, I'd feel so badly about what my husband did to these victims (and I don't think there's a question about he did) that I would do everything in my power to help them. Whether I was involved in the malfeasance or not.

Bravo doesnt let someone go based off of allegations though. Erika hasnt been found guilty of anything so getting rid of her when she finally brings conflict to the show wouldn't make sense.

They kept Teresa guidice on after being convicted as guilty of fraud and ultimately jailed for her crimes so no they don’t let lying thieves go; in fact, they often give them a spin-off.  
 

As with Teresa, Erika has benefited greatly from the fraud and theft, and then ALSO benefits from a fat paycheck because of the drama the criminal matters bring.  Truly fucked up.  Using stolen money to leverage an even cushier lifestyle is repulsive.

She said something on the reunion like, “are they going to claw back all of the money paid to the firm’s employees??”  The employees were WORKING, that was a paycheck.  She was not an employee, she was the wife, sharing in the stolen money!  She really thinks that she is entitled to this money because it was a gift!  I hope she ends up in jail, and rots there.

The difference is that Teresa did pay restitution covering her husband's part and has specifically been very quiet about it.  Teresa also figured out how to make money herself. All Erika has done is some overpriced drop ship fake hair.  

 

She is literally living off the scandal.  Say what you will about Teresa but she has at least gone to work and hustles.  Erika is a one trick pony with no depth.

I dont think anyone is saying that Erika behaved in a flattering manner. But (and this is a BUT) if she didn't know, why should she be fired for the sins of her husband? 

Yes there are a million ways to be a bad person. Majority of Bravolebs/Stars in general wouldn't be around if networks got rid of them but of course there will always be things that trump other bad behaviors. 

She should not be fired for the "sins of her husband". She should be fired for her attempts to misdirect her culpability NOW, in addition to her present ongoing callous indifference to the suffering of his victims, and her bullying and threats to anyone who questions her about it.

It reminds me of when I hear Erika fans say she gets criticism due to misogyny. Erika is a cast member. Tom is not. I don't think anyone here is anti-woman, just pro-victim, and we also care about women like Sutton who literally didn't feel safe working with Erika.

I found Erika’s treatment of Sutton to be disturbing. She snarled at her like a rabid dog. 
I wonder if she has any empathy for anyone other than herself. Well, maybe Tom. 
We will never know the real story or truth.

We've had HWs get physical with one another. Erika hasn't done anything worse to het castmatws than what's happened in other cities.

Again, for me it is not her treatment of her fellow cast mates - that’s part of the job these days, (which was not the original “ real housewives”.

I do think her treatment of anyone who isn’t herself is awful.

It is her total disregard of people who are suffering who put their trust in her estranged husband.

She thinks she is more deserving of Ill gotten gains than are the people for who her husband supposedly represented.

Her ability to hang onto a pair of earrings and the trappings of “wealth” matters more than does the suffering of other humans.

Nope, not Tom.  Not poor demented Tom.  According to Erika's own account she dropped him off at the office (which was closed then as was all of non-essential businesses in L.A.) went home, moved EVERYTHING she wanted out of the house and never spoke to him again.   Oh except those times she slipped up and mentioned on a hot mic.  

Basically, as soon as she realized it was all going to hit the public fan she split.

Erika went to the college of Me First.

First and foremost I apologize for the following but I just had to share.  Apparently Erika had a Twitter break and now she’s back to tweeting the most elegant and tasteful remarks like this:

[Joe Bacigaloop]

The theory that the lawyer for some of the victims has proposed seems very valid and on point. She was part of an ongoing Ponzi scheme of pretending that Tom was so rich from his success as a trial lawyer. Her performance on the Housewives promoted that and might have influenced lenders and clients to stay the course when Tom defaulted on his responsibilities. 
 

She is not an innocent by any stretch of the imagination.

I find it kind of insulting to the viewers of RHOBH that she thinks THAT kind of filth is what will help her keep her Bravo job.   I don't remember any other RH coming off so gross.

I’m wondering if she thinks it may be too late to save her housewives gig and is already thinking ahead to her post-Bravo days.  She knows sex sells.  I think her judgment is impaired, however.  I don’t think it’s occurred to her that there is a point where being edgy and risqué can backfire and be a total turnoff for many.   I doubt her future Only Fans followers will care too much, but once she goes that route, I don’t think she’ll make it back.  She’s thinking about dollar signs.  

It’s pretty evident she’s circling the drain when she leads with THAT crap.  She’s always had a chip on her shoulder, and this is just a way for her to give everyone the finger.  I can hear Dr. Phil saying, “And how’s that workin for ya?”in my head.  

I won’t be able to watch a single second of her trying to portray herself as a victim this season.  🤬

Like other true narcissists (Teresa on rhonj comes to mind), Erika reaches really low when people tug on her mask. Vile, creepy narcissistic rage can fend off the truthtellers sometimes.

That's one pathetic, angry gutter she's living in.

[Jextella]

The thing about Erika is that she fails to realize is that she has a shelf live.  Innocent, guilty, somewhere in between...it doesn't matter.

Just like they say on Project Runway....one day you're in, one day you're out. Her schtick is getting old. One day she'll have a very small following as people move on to the next provocative thing.

She doesn't seem to recognize the fluid nature of fandom.

WTF? Why the hell are Erika's lady parts "squishy wet"?  Is there a medical condition being revealed here? Something involving her vulva being jampacked with marshlike clumps of wet grass? A stray Ocelo sponge finding its way up under her Cuntkins? Has she perhaps actually wet her Cuntkins? What crazy-ass woman looks at those words and thinks, Yep, red-hot fuckable is what "squishy wet" makes me sound like. (Next up: My nipples iz hard and my breastesses are squishy soft!) eta: She's spent years mocking every other woman in that cast - in the whole world! - for not being super-hawt-cutting-edge-cunty and yet here she is, thirstily begging for any and all attention in the most pathetic display of all.

At this point, Erika is essentially selling herself to the highest bidder(s). One won't be enough to cover her expenses.

Maybe she's angling for her own Depend commercial? Trying to follow in Rinna's footsteps for that sweet payday.

Clit on fire, squishy wet may be signs that it's time to visit her gyno. 🤣 

[Jextella]

It just occurred to me...in the last reunion...or maybe the one before...Kyle says something like Erika wouldn't have gone on the show given all the publicity that brings if she was involved in something nefarious.

Jay Edelson, one of the attorneys fighting for the victims, recently asserted that Erika's participation on the show created a facade of wealth and success for the firm so Tom+ could get more clients and swindle more money. She was human advertising.

Now it kinda makes sense. She and Tom were just too arrogant to think they'd get caught (apparently as many are).

I hear that crazy Noella from OC has already snagged herself a wallet after being dumped by her husband during this season. It makes me wonder even more why Erika hasn't snagged herself a new one? I detest her, but she is still a very attractive woman. Noella is a true nut case, so it's not like her fabulous personality snagged the guy. Their looks are all either have going for them, and I really thought Erika would waste no time snagging another Tom.

Isn't Noella about 20 years younger than Erika?  Any wallet that can afford Erika isn't shopping for a 50 year old.  Old Tom was about 30 years older than Erika - so she was around 30 and he was in his sixties.
