Goodbye, Erika Jayne

May 8, 2018 by tamaratattles 134 Comments

I am fairly sure she is leaving the show.

This is probably why. 

It will either be another divorce by Bravo, or she will move back in and keep their lives off the show.

I’ll miss the Erika Girardi of past seasons. And also Erika Jayne.

        ERika had a half day shoot where she will be shown on two more upcoming episodes of Y & R. That’s not “going into soaps.” Erika has nothing but time.

    I found her hard to bear this season. I would miss her though. It was looking like they were bringing back Camille to have someone to spar with. I’ve felt all season that she was largely on her own except for her glam squad.

      Now, on to the news – I really used to like Ericka in her first season or two, but then she just became way too cool for everyone and her arrogance as led to her fall… I would bet that between what it’s happening per the blind item and the inevitable feeling the fan base beginning to fade – she is getting out while pride is still intact. I dunno 🤷‍♀️Either way, I wish her well!

    If true he has a new gf, could Tom just not handle playing second fiddle for once? Is his ego really that massive that he couldnt applaud and enjoy his wife’s success and time in the spotlight? Or maybe Erika wasn’t giving him the attention he was used to.
    I wonder if this was Erika’s endgame all along, ala Yolanda and Jules.

      Of course this was her plan. Stay with old Girardi long enough to get half. Now she can meet someone and actually fall in love. They led totally separate lives since she started the Ericka Jayne cartoon character. The difference in age is ridiculous. She still looks good (minus all the crappy makeup) but he can’t hide his wrinkled balls any longer.

    I thoroughly enjoyed Erika until this past season. She seems miserably unhappy, and is taking it out on everyone around her. I sincerely hope her marriage isn’t in trouble – she and Tom have been together for almost 19 years, which is a very long time, and I really got the impression up until this last year that they genuinely respected each other. Wishing her luck.

      I agree with your comments. This year I found her defensive and aggressive. She was mad that Teddy used the word “pretend”. I thought that was funny given the “part” she plays in her sequenced jumpsuits. I don’t know any woman who channels her “inner Erika Jayne” But I thought it was really odd that she said Tom hadn’t read her book. If I wrote a book I would want my husband to be the first to read it.

I never thought thought she brought anything else to the table besides fashion. I don’t wish anything bad for her, but I’m not sorry to see her go.

    This is going to be an expensive divorce if Erika’s claim of no pre-nuptial agreement is true. She spends $40,000 per month on the “glam” squad alone – that’s $480,000 a year on hair and makeup! No doubt Tom agrees with Erika that “it’s expensive to be me.”

    Yeah she can be a 1st class Bitch sometimes, maybe loses her “COOL” with her friends, is sometimes annoying, and doesn’t blow bubbles out her ass just to be liked, she is “in your face” and doesn’t talk “dirty” (Dorit) behind your back, yeah that can be intimadating to some people….but that’s what I LOVE about her. Truth doesn’t always come out pretty…catch me on a bad day and I can hurt your feelings too. It’s called emotions, can’t always explain why, but REAL friends get it.

      Yes! Real friends piss each other off! They have been known to blow smoke up their wazoo to pump them up or save a moment! They are truthful when needed, kind when needed and brutally honest when needed…”real friends” being operative in this situation. Right now as an outsider, looking in, I do care for Erika and whatever she needs from a real friend, I hope she has a few! She’s going to need them. I don’t care what kind of ice queen she can portray for the cameras. She’s a human woman. If rumors are true? Ouch! She’s hurting.

      They are in CA…her finances will be fine, maybe not what she’s accustomed to but certainly more than “comfortable”.

      You know, Ronda, the more I think about it the more I agree with you. I’ve enjoyed her too – especially her no bullshit attitude. I think she’s hurting now – she rarely shows any happiness lately, and I’d like to see what she makes of her future, with or without Tom. If I had any say in the matter, which I don’t, nor should I, I’d like to see Erika Jayne disappear and see more of Erika, without the constant glam squad. To me, having them with her all the time shows a certain insecurity on her part, and she’s a gorgeous woman who doesn’t need layers of makeup or so much fake hair. I’d personally love to see the relaxed Erika – I guarantee she’ll still be stunning. Good luck, Erika – I hope everything turns out well for you. You seem like the kind of woman who always lands on her feet, and that’s a good thing.

          I guess we are attracted to our partners in life for different reasons. ..
          So I decided before I got married again, my husband would be a Christian and love God, he would have traditional values, he would be kind, caring, have a good sense of humor, life goals, a job….most of all…LOVE ME SOOOOO MUCH! 😉 (Whats not to love!)
          Guess what. .I got it plus more!
          My friend only wanted someone good looking, tall, dark, and limber, with lots of stamina to screw the shit of her and she would take care of him…..She got it too! They are divorced now, (very hurtful and humiliating, that’s a whole nother story) )she decided to have better life goals when looking for her next one.
          So, moral of the story is we all require different things to be successful in life……thats what makes us human.
          Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it! 😉

            Thats a sensitive and deep post. I think theres many reasons someone marries a certain person. That person fufills some need, be it emotional, sexual, financial, either profound or shallow. Or they simply panic that no one else may ask to marry them so they say yes. Ive heard that reason being given as well. I dont judge and just hope for the best,because theyre gonna have to live with the consequences, and nobody really knows but them why they married that person. A couple can look beautiful together but be miserable. Its not all what it shows on the outside.

    I get a little tired of people being vicious then excusing themselves by owning it or by claiming to be honest. Erika’s statement about being a bitch to everyone didn’t impress me. Telling “my truth” as though truth comes in several variations also ticks me off. The truth is that her lufe has gotten difficult, she may be losing her private jet accomodation and she is angry. I would immediately understand.

    I will miss the fun Erika Jayne who brought something really interesting to the show. She myst have been taking brand management classes from Yolanda.

Now if Bravo was smart they would bring back Brandi and Kim, but too bad that’s not going to happen. On a side note. I’m interested where BH will go next season, they need to views back they would bring the drama, not ratchet drama but something then what the last 3 season have been.

    Tom is a very wealthy man who has worked hard his whole life. He’s ready to watch the sunset and doesn’t want to do it alone.

    I’m guessing Erika has decided to retire Erika Jayne (for a little while) to save her marriage.

    I’m sure she still loves him. It’s clear she still respects him. But, financially she’d be stupid to divorce him at this stage in the game… half now or ALL soon. ..

          And if we’re calling flicking the remaining drops of wine ay the bottom of a glads on Eilleen, & tapping LVPs face as two fire worthy assults, then we also need to fire Kyle and send Rinna to jail for the amsterdam Glass throwing which cut people (GBH).

          Not to mention almost all cast members from other cities.

      You are absolutely correct! Although I’m personally indifferent to Erika, I can understand why people find entertainment in her “glamor” and lifestyle. But she doesn’t add anything interesting to the show’s dynamic. The show isn’t better or worse because of her presence.

    Really?!? She loves her persona as EJ. It’s overtaken her. She now pays her 40k /month for her glam squad based on EJ. She might find herself above the Housewives at this point if she is leaving, but it’s what put her on the map more. I follow Billboard but not the dance charts. From what I know, I’m almost positive she has never reached the top 200 on the iTunes chart ever. Which really doesn’t mean much now, but if each sale is through her own company, she makes all the money off that.

That “uncontrollable temper” she displayed with Eileen last season and Teddi this season was no where to be found.

          When you cherry pick dogs from actual rescues and sell them for profit, that is not an animal rescue. She is running a pet store.

          2Tall, where do you think she gets the dogs from? Does she have a dog catcher roaming the streets picking up strays? Does she purchase from a breeder? Or does she get them from actual shelters?

          Hint the answer is shelters where she cherry picks the purebreds and any other really cute dogs, and as she says “gives the a makeover” and then “puts them up for adoption.” Then has people fill out lengthy forms and eventually “allows some one to adopt the dog” for an “adoption fee” of around four hundred dollars.

          This is the exact same model used by that SPOT rescue place that was suing her an Ken after they had a falling out. They had planned to work together then LVP decided to do a whole line of dog clothes and dog accessories. She also was sued by the dog clothes designer she used before and was accused of disesembling their designs and using them as a pattern for hers.

          She also provides grooming services for dogs in the area. All of these revenue streams are used to pay for all the chandeliers in the store and the fancy interior designer and the employees (like Ken, Lisa, and their groomers and sales people) who work for the nonprofit and the rent for the building in the high rent Weho district. And whatever is left goes to “support animals.”

          It’s a business where the “adoption fees” are more than most pet stores charge for dogs.

          She’s selling dogs.

            400 dollars isn’t too bad, especially if it’s a popular breed. She might be a bit of a c*nt, but I’d still rather the rich bitches of LA go to somewhere like hers that deals in unwanted dogs, if they’re not gonna go to their local shelter, than finance the puppy farm business.

    I love Erika and will miss seeing her. I felt like a lot of that iciness was an act. You’d see it in the interview segments where she’d be all cool or haughty and then crack herself up. Occasionally she’d be light and fun and let down her guard with the other women and that was when it was great to watch her. I’ll miss all the Erika’s… the fashionista dress-up one, the haughty/cool lawyer wife, EJ, and the fun girlfriend one. The one I never understood, though, was the deferential one around Tom. I always wondered if that’s how they really operated. It seemed so stilted. If they are splitting, I hope she finds someone who makes her laugh and lets her be herself…whichever one she really is.

I’m thinking Tom wanted her on the show in order to help her build her own career and income so the split will be less taxing on him. The whole dynamic has always seemed very calculated to me.

    Let’s be real here, did anyone think she married her husband for “real” love. She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, that much is true (couldn’t help myself) when she met him. 99.9% sure they had an agreement and she married him for money/stability. I do think she loved him, but kind of like a granddaughter loves her grandfather. Fortunately grandpa found a new younger version. Tom that old coot, you think he knows these young women are with him for his money and the lifestyle he can bring and not for his boyish good looks?

Maybe Daddy Warbucks Tom is a great shag? Who knows. It’s lasted 17/18 years, so there must be something there to keep it going.

    I was fascinated by Erika her first season. I don’t think anyone had seen anyone like her. This season she was totally different and did act cold and superior to everyone else. She got what she wanted out of the show…. more fame, a spot on Dancing With the Stars and more singing gigs. If Tom kicks her to the curb for a younger model she’ll come out just fine financially but paying people $40,000 a month to fawn all over her and say what she wants to hear is going to burn through that pretty quickly.

    Lisa Rinna and Erika are the only entertaining people on the show. Rinna said she purposefully took a back seat this season because she wanted Vanderpump and Kyle to earn their paycheck. Those two have became a snooze fest. Unless they bring Brandi back to feud with them, or Kathy Hilton joins the show to air her grievances with Kyle, then both Vanderpump and Kyle need to go. Big waste of money.

    The drama this season has been boring. And if Erika leaves the show, RHOBH should just be declared dead.

    I hope that Erika and Tom can work things out. Who knows what goes on in other folks relationships? I really don’t cars if she stays or goes. Her appeal to me was that of a cartoon figure. It just doesn’t go that deep after you look at it for a while. What she does is limited by her age and attractiveness I am afraid. She would have been better served by developing her character beyond the surface image, instead she focused more on her alter ego, which is really not all that interesting in the long term.

      Exactly! In those 18 years of marriage she could have gotten a psychology degree for example, and opened a fabulous office in Beverly Hills, paid for major advertising and celebrity tweets, etc. And eventually had a legitimately successful business of her own. Even if she just worked 2 or 3 days a week!

      or she could have gotten a real estate license, promoted herself with major advertising and mail campaigns with various assistants, and eventually had her own brokerage with a long successful track record.

      These are just two ideas . But it could have been a skincare business, and insurance business, interior designing or being a lawyer.

      Whatever her “career” interests were she could have blossomed with her husband’s money giving her such a leg up!

      Why pour the money into being a singer/performer in sexy outfits? It’s juvenile.

    Never liked Erika. Could never see the fascination with her stage persona and think she has no real talent. She is smoke and mirrors, and autotune. She writhes around on stage and in her videos — not talent.

    She has no real sense of chic. Her glam squad of yes men truly have made a horrible mess of her wardrobe and look. And if she is in charge of hair and wardrobe decisions, that’s another area where she has no style or talent.

    Even in the beginning, it seemed as if she and Tom had an arms-length, somewhat cordial relationship. I never saw love or passion. And they seemed to spend very little time together (and I don’t blame that solely on Tom’s career). And the fact that she was annoyed by Tom’s infirmity after his accident says volumes. She had no desire to take care of him or compassion for him.

    IMHO, she was looking to get famous. So she got some records and a book deal, and appears at small clubs. I hope she’s happy with that. I just hope we never have to suffer through her hideous get ups, her embarrassing performances and her rude, condescending behavior.

    I think going through a divorce/separation really has caused Erika’s season to suck. Before she was much more light hearted. She’s definitely gone to a dark side.

    In Beverly Hills, $40,000 a month is pretty common. I’m sure LVP and Kyle are close to that. Just one Birkin costs that much and up. Pair that with $1500 shoes and some of these women easily spend $100,000 a month.

    Dorit has ruined this franchise for me. If she’s back, I’m out. And that creepy ass husband.

When Camille let it know how PK and Dorit was trying to come for her, that pretty much shine the spot light on them as a couple of shit stirrers to me. But, they realize Camille was not a weak link. Dorit only wanted to apologize to Camille, because she exposed them for what they are, sneaky and conniving.

      Just an FYI — one birkin does not cost $40,000 and up. Kyle’s birkins cost $10-11K. (No, I don’t know Kyle but I do know what birkins cost.) And most of their shoes are not $1500 — more likely $1K or less.

        FYI you cannot just walk into Hermes and buy a Birkin which is why most are sold second hand. They sell for $60,000 for a medium sized one.

        The animal skin ones sell for over $100,000.

        It takes two months for Hermes to make one Birkin and if it gets screwed up, they destroy it and start all over again.

    Erika’s first season I thought she was glamorous, beautiful, a refreshing addition, and I liked her sass. Not sure why she has changed so much (and not for the better), perhaps she began to believe all the positive things being written about her. She certainly is not the first HW to get too big for her britches. I would be most interested in hearing intel from a production member, it would not surprise me at all if Erika had become difficult during shooting.

    IMO, Erika Girardi only showed up this season during the boat party, when she was wearing the white pantsuit.

    EJ has a no fucks, fun vibe or APPEARS to have that vibe. Yet, she goes apeshit when she’s confronted. These two aspects don’t mix well and has made her very off-putting, IMO.

Maybe that is why she was in such a bad mood at the reunion….because Tom had been critical of her behavior or words this season. Sometimes when your spouse is a lot older, they can be very nit picky and demanding.

    A skit on SNL reminded me so much of Erica Jane, and it was not flattering. Larry David, a lawyer, introduces his new wife, Cecily Strong to his friends. She not a singer, she’s an “entertainer”, specifically “She’s the kitty ambassador of the twink republic of quaunk”. It’s on Youtube under New Wife SNL, but if Erica Jane saw it it may have burst her bubble on how much of the world perceives her.
