So Erika Jayne has been slogging around New York and New Jersey selling her new book. She’s just a girl tryna make a dollar just like the rest of us. Apparently,she didn’t have any security with her at her New Jersey signing at Bookends. The whole ordeal looks very claustrophobic like it’s in somebody’s wood paneled basement. Do people still do wood paneling? It looks like she did have someone doing lighting for the photos, because priorities.
A handful of nitwits circled around behind her getting way too close for comfort and started scream about wearing fur and how “Erika Jayne has blood on her hands.”
People are such idiots. And I hope Erika hires someone to watch her back (literally) for the rest of her tours. Especially the California ones.
I have not been a fan of hers this year, but that is beyond scary and inappropriate.
I have a feeling that Erika was praying that one of them would bump her because Tom would keep them tied up in legal fees until their eyes bled.
Because the only way to stay warm is to skin a lot of animals and wear their natural coat. Many high end brands are realizing that fur is obsolete. I can see people struggling with giving up meat, but giving up fur is so easy.
I just saw the video and it was invasive and she handled it well. But I still think fur is unnecessary.
Fur is def not obsolete… you need something thats extremely warm and can insulate your body well… Some areas in Russia are extremelyyyy frigid and people are head to toe decked out in fur..
Furthermore, the production of fake fur is horrible for the environment given all the energy and chemicals that go into their manufacturing.. Poisoning the planet is not the better alternative.
She is not in Russia and pretty sure she is not street walking in NY .
There is yet another alternative. Cloth coat, specifically natural wool is warm enough from private jet to limo.
Fur is cruel and one can survive.
I’m starting to think a nice fur throw would look great on my new leather couch. I’d just have to be careful not to drop my cheeseburger on it.
Oh my animal friends, oh my environment?
Feeling more fire than usual I’m afaid. This week a number of us in this world experienced the las white Rhino male dying. Man has destroyed them for tusks and skin. Poof, the species is extinct.
…or your wine, unless it was a British Red Fox. Actually, I hate fox hunting. When I was a little girl all the rich country people used to go to hounds on Boxing Day, which entailed dressing up in jodphurs and white breeches (for the men), black riding helmets, black leather riding boots, riding crops and bright red riding jackets, and chasing the poor little foxes until they ran them to ground and let the hounds tear them apart. People would get in their cars and follow the hunt, staying as close to it as the country roads allowed. Luckily, it’s pretty much banned in England and Wales now, but if Erika Jayne does wear real animal furs, I’d probably be right there with the PETA people. And, yes, the last male white rhinoceros died. So sad.
I’d like to add I didn’t like the way the PETA people came so close to her and yelled what they did., so I’d have to rethink being there with them. There are other ways to protest than to get in people’s faces. She did handle it very well, but I hope that, if she is wearing animal fur, she reconsider that decision. There are a lot of beautiful faux furs out there these days – plenty for her to choose from.
Haha! Love it ❤️
Hahahahaha!!! Love this comment! Couldn’t sleep at 230 a.m. here and once again you have cracked me up when I should be out! TT never change! 😉
That’s why we love you, TT!
Ha! I feel the same way. I own 2 floor length furs and 1 wrap. How dare someone walking around in leather shoes try to tell me what I should or should not be wearing. I haven’t used my good cuss words in a minute but trust me I still know how to read an asshole who wants to get all up in my grill. Im sorry Erika Jane didn’t think it necessary to have security to cover her while she’s busy, and hopefully in the future she’ll be prepared. PETA can truly kiss me where the sun don’t shine.
OMG love your comment!!
Oh cheeseburger cleans up well but watch out with the milkshakes
LOL…. I was just thinking that TT
Exactly
Fake fur is bad for the environment? Hahah. Meat is probably the worst thing for the environment. I live in northern MN where the temperature drops far below zero..I think -60 was our record and I rarely, if ever, see people wearing fur here. Also Erika lives in L.A.
That’s because we can’t afford it. I spent a lot of my youth in northern North Dakota and the only way to survive was fur. I wore a coat that my Grandmother owned to school because it was that cold. I now live in Minnesota and on those very cold days when I have to walk to the barn, out comes that old fur coat.
Amen. I’ve lived in several cities with bad winters. My 3rd generation fur coat kept me sane…not to mention warm. My fur was passed down to me, from my Mom, who received it from her Mom. Wonder what PETA thinks about vintage furs.
Yes, fake furs are made of petrochemicals. Bad for the environmemt.
If you eat meat don’t even try to lecture me about the environment. I don’t wear fake fur because it’s ugly. I don’t eat meat, I don’t wear leather. I buy make up and beauty supplies that are not tested on animals. If you live in the old days when you kill the animal and make your own fur to survive that is a much different world than we live in now. Now animals are mass produced and live in filthy conditions while polluting the environment and where land used for animal grain could possibly end world hunger. But let’s hate on people who care about other living creatures.
If Erika wants to wear a real fur then let her! I own plenty of leather goods and do own one mink coat that has been passed down from my Mom. Erika handled those Peta protesters so gracefully. I don’t know if I would have been that calm. JustJenn, just like you don’t want people to lecture you about how fake fur is bad for the environment (which is true but I do agree with you that meat production is horrible for the planet as well), please don’t lecture the meat eating, fur wearing and non- vegan/cruelty free beauty product users like myself. To each their own my dear.
I didn’t start out to lecture, but people should educate themselves on how meat and fur are produced now and what the consequences are. It’s hateful to attack people who care about all living beings because people want to justify your own behavior.
I absolutely agree with you that people should educate themselves on how meat, fur and fake fur are produced. I am not attacking you, just stating my opinion and you are entitled to your opinion too. I think the people over at PETA can be very hateful as we just witnessed in that clip at the bookstore.
PETA is not a good representation of people who care about animal rights. They were killing multiple domesticated animals themself and they are huge attention whores. They aren’t doing any favors to people who actually care about animals and their rights.
Torture and skin animals, they don’t die peacefully in their sleep. Sorry that you were uncomfortable Erika, did you learn anythin?
I thought she wore only faux fur?
That had to be scary for her, but she handled it really well. That has to be one of the ugliest bookstores I’ve ever seen.
It may be a storage space as there are no shelves filled with books anywhere. Very odd. I do like her smile after they started shouting. I would be terrifies by people walking around behind me. But years in NYC and Da Bronx have taught me to never show fear.
She didn’t have Mikey and The Glam Squad for protection?
I haven’t watched all episodes but I don’t remember her wearing fur. That is one low rent book store! Looks a basement from the 70’s. I’m not a fan but she did handle it well.
I’m surprised that she didn’t have security but perhaps this will change that for her future signings.
I don’t care for Erika at all. (Mean/cold/no storyline) but I will admit. She stayed cool calm and collected.
That’s our girl!
Classic Erika Jane, zero fucks given!
I think her behavior has been out of whack this season but what a very scary thing to happen with no security. I’m sure she has got it now. I also don’t really remember her wearing fur and she isn’t wearing it on the book cover. The comment about how harmful faux fur is to the environment was exactly right.
I could be wrong (it’s been known to happen) but I think I remember her wearing fur on WWHL. Andy asked her if it was real and she said “Of course!” or something like that. I remember thinking that wasn’t the smartest move at the time.
Maybe Erika should spend less money on worthless stylists, and spend that money on security. Like Kenya moore screaming “SECURITY” on her first season in The Bailey Agency School. What happened with the agency?
Nothing happened to Erika. She should be happy that PETA cares about her? Usually they go after really famous people.
Who even wears fur now a days? It’s fucking ugly, and I only ever see old, crusty bitches wear it. Sorry, don’t wanna look like a giant Yeti walking around decked out in ugly fur. That said, PETA needs to back the fuck off.
If you live where it’s very very cold and you can afford it, you wear fur. The next best thing is leather. A wool coat will do nothing to stop the winds in North Dakota in January.
There are tons of cold-weather substitutes for fur. There’s no excuse for wearing it.
Spend one winter on a farm in North Dakota and come back here and tell me that.
I have a pretty expensive Northface jacket; I mean it’s not a $1000 fur coat( random expensive number, unsure of the real price because broke. Anyway, that being said, even with that jacket, and a northface fleece underneath it, I’m fucking freezing all winter. I wish I was extra enough to rock a fur coat.
Pretty shocking that Erika Jayne didn’t have security what with all the $ she spends on glam squads. And lighting, lol.
Humans have been wearing fur since we showed up. If we hadn’t, we might not have made it. PETA is a bunch of nuts. Extremists. And most people who whine about fur are total hypocrites who wear leather shoes and belts, and eat meat/fowl/fish, and use other animal-based products. If you don’t like fur, don’t wear it. Very simple.
Finally, someone with logic.
My thoughts, exactly. Thanks, Amanda!
Very well said.
You can’t beat the feeling of a real fur. It’s like cuddling a puppy as you walk around.
When you’re wrapped in it it’s best to have your veal medium rare and your foie gras on the side.
Nom.
Hahaha!
Yeah, A DEAD puppy. Lovely. Foie gras is fucking torture you sick bitch. What’s it like to be dead inside?
Being dead inside feels fantastic. Very relaxing.
I wouldn’t know. There is no room for death because I am so full off foie inside.
Nom.
While I am not a fur enthusiast by any means, an animal lover from heart to soul, I used to laugh at the irony of PETA members throwing paint on furs. You idiots, they are insured and will be replaced, causing more animal harm…
Didn’t on Wendy she have a centerfold picture that comes with her book, Wendy blocked it out, so perhaps it’s totally naked.
I just wonder if they place you in a different area for the signing because of kids walking around.
I could care less, but you know how they have rules for everything. Just a thought of the den location.
P.S. these PETA people scare me, they are very sneaky, and they throw things at you. And yell at you.
The posters and support they have should eliminate these tactics.
That bookstore is in the town I grew up in. I went there all the time as a teenager. The top floor is pretty nice and obviously the basement is a dump. It has been since the 70’s. They have a lot of high profile book signings; you’d think they’d spend a few bucks and pretty up the basement. It’s a quiet, safe Upper Middle Class Republican Town so she probably was told she didn’t need security.
I can’t believe PETA snuck in. They must have been disgusted in Burberry Trench Coats with Goyard Tote bags. Erika was incredibly poised.
thought PETA was “people eating tasty animals”.
Lol
I love my furs….. especially at 30 below wind chills AND I donate heavily to animal charities. I don’t think cows volunteered their hides for your Louis Vuittons either so sorry, snowflakes. Anyhoo, I think Erika handled herself well and I’m halfway through her book. It reads just like she speaks and I’m enjoying it and it’s an honest, bare- bones account. The only part so far she’s glossed over is leaving her son for years on the East Coast so she could pursue her career in L.A. She visited him often but he was only five.
I bet she highly glossed over that. Fairytale book. I’ll buy it when it hits the Dollar store.
The rest of it really does seem honest though. She documents some pretty harsh things in her background.
So when did she get her son back? When she married Tom. Did she leave him with his dad? I guess I should read the book?
Yeah she left him with his dad but her mother and grandmother were also there too. She doesn’t even give specific years as to when she left and when she got him again but I think it was about 5 years
PETA’s tactics only hurt their cause, always have. I don’t see the difference in raising ermine and killing them for their fur or raising chickens for breasts, legs and thighs. Warmth versus food. Fur for status is on the person who buys it and speaks to the heart. However a lot of fur coats are vintage. I eat chicken but I could not wear a new fur coat unless I were in the tundra. Warmth vs food. Erica’s diamond has lost a lot of luster and she is not a breath of fresh air now that we see her dark side better. Another one bites the dust. I wish her well on her book tour and hope she stays safe. Rinna moved up a rung on the ladder of favorite RHOBH and Erica moved down. Dorit still has a firm grip on the bottom rung for me.
I would have to step on Dorit’s hand if I was on a ladder with her!
Meh, she looks unbothered so why should I be? They really need to come up with catch catchier slogans though. How about #ProtestThePuss ?
I have my Mother’s full length mink coat that’s 50 plus years old. I remember the Christmas she got it, she was so excited, she wore it to take out the trash. When she passed away 17 years ago I had it cleaned and it’s been in a fur storage bag in a never used closet ever since. If next winter is as cold as this one has been I’ll break it out and wear it. I may just wear it if it’s not as cold.
Oh my gosh, I love your mom. I always say I won’t even take out the trash without some makeup on. If I had a fur coat, I’d wear it too, even tho I live in TX. She sounds like she was a fun lady ❤️
Thank you! She was a trip and I still miss her every day. We had a dachshund that was gassy as a puppy. We called him Gus but his legal name, thanks to my mother was Gustav Von Rottencrotch. She had a wicked scence of humor ?
I don’t go to the mailbox without makeup, just like my Mother and Grandmother! Thinking about them brings tears to my ears and a big smile to my face.

PETA has a very fucked up approach which is why the people they target give zero fucks. It would be one thing to say, “Hey, you have a huge platform and we would love for you to spread awareness about …… perhaps you weren’t aware but furs, leather, etc. come from animals and this is how it ends up on your luscious skin’ insert video and presentation”. Who knows maybe some will be disgusted and stop wearing furs, others might be disgusted, donate and keep wearing furs. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and beliefs, if I want to wear a different type of fur coat everyday during winter and wear snake skin thongs all through summer then that is my right. Throwing paint on peoples’ clothing, protesting and showing up at peoples’ events to try and convey a message is totally inappropriate. Now watch Erika Jayne come to an event in the future in a naaaaaassssty sickening out of this world expensive fur coat screaming zero fucks given.
Although she lost me as a fan during this season of RHOBH, she is sooooo unbothered and I aspire to be so effortlessly and beautifullu non-chalant while a pack of hyenas anf banshees circle around me.
Was she signing books in the basement of an old book store? It does not look nice at all. Haha! Those PETA people are a joke.
The skeptic in me thinks someone in her camp let PETA know she wears furs and let them know she would be in that basement. Anything for publicity.
Not hearing much about her book otherwise.
It’s odd that the extinction of the white rhino is being mixed into these comments. That has nothing at all to do with the fur business. Minks, foxes, and raccoons are not nearing extinction.
I don’t know anything about how the animals are raised or skinned, but I know protected species such as the white rhino are not an aspect to the issue.
I often wonder if PETA accomplishes anything except for making the public feel sorry for their targets. Those people are nuts.
I will say, that ice in Erika’s veins came in very handy at that event. It’s extra creepy that the people were behind her.
