Erika Jayne on The View

May 18, 2018 by tamaratattles 63 Comments

Meghan McCain is a huge housewives fan so she was thrilled to have Erika Jayne live on the show today. She walked out in a bright red suit jacket servings as a mini dress so the audience is probably going to get an eyeful when she sits down. She also has on leopard print Louboutin boots. There was an awkward moment right off the bat when she went to hug Meghan first and the no one else was standing up. Sarah tries to explain what was happening but the audience was clapping and I could hear the explanation. Erika Jayne and Meghan are friends since appearing together on WWHL.

Straight away, Meghan wants to know if her IG post that said, “Erika Jayne has left the building.” means that she is leaving RHOBH. She said she was channeling Elvis and everybody had a meltdown. She is NOT leaving the show. I am passed the point of caring either way about that.

When she asks about her 40K a month expenses to be Erika Jayne the way she explained it sounded like it was “work expenses” that she can write off of her taxes. So pretty smart really. 

Erika explains that when she hit 35 she did some reevaluating and decided she wanted to get back to doing performing arts. She was starting to feel unfulfilled in life and wanted to do what she loved again. She didn’t want to have regrets in life.

She talks about Tom like things are going fine. I hope that is true. She says they have been married for 18 years and together for 20. So clearly some things have been going right with them. She says that Tom encouraged her to go be Erika Jayne and has been fully supportive of her.

Alyssa Milano is a co-host. I should point out to all the Project Runway people that she is dressed beautifully for the show. Clearly the issue on PR is she has a dreadful stylist who hates her. I hope she gets a new one if she makes the move to Bravo with the show. Alyssa has read the book and asks about her relationship with her mother. Erika says her mom, when she was growing up, tended to treat her the way the world was treating her as a single mother raising a child alone. She wanted Erika to be tough and able to stand on her own two feet in the world. She loves her mom and they have a great relationship now and she speaks to her everyday.

Meghan says she has a lot in common with Erika. People see both of them as a bit icy and cold and they have both been in a feud with Teddi Mellencamp. Meghan calls it unintentional but what happened was Meghan MCCAIN said that Andy needed to fire Teddi because she is boring and he should stop hiring people just because they have a famous last name.  Thems fighting words, Meghan. Meghan says she still thinks Teddi is boring and she is not taking it back. She asks Erika if she thinks she was a good addition to the show. Erika says, “My friend Yolanda Hadid who brought me on the show said it best. Each women on the show fills a specific slot. Everyone bonds with their favorite girl. Someone may like you, someone may like her, so there’s enough for everyone. If everyone was the same the show would be boring.” Sonny says it’s like The View and Erika agrees. Meghan says “no bitch on this show is boring though.” Did Teddi pee in Meghan’s Cheerios or something? She really has a hate-on for Teddi.

Meghan says that she got married very quickly and didn’t get to have her bachelorette party. She says Erika was so sweet to offer to perform at her party and she wants to have one now even though she is already married. She asks Erika if she will still do it and Erika agrees. All the girls at the table (except Joy) beg to be invited. Erika says she can’t do it right now because she is on a plane to Vegas right after the show and if Meghan was not busy she would take her with her. She says they can plan it all out and she would love to do it.  Meghan says that Erika Jayne has really inspired her in a very difficult time in her life and she loves her so much. It was rather touching. Erika Jayne has a soul, y’all! Erika bought, errr I mean BROUGHT enough books for everyone in the audience. I imagine she has A LOT of copies of her book.

That was a good interview. Erika is fast on her feet and interviews very well.

      Naike, I understand about Meghan McCain. It isn’t just the naive politics; I really think I’d tolerate some of the women on TV today a lot better if they would just get the vocal coaching they needed before the took to the air. Look what it did for Oprah. There is a young woman who has a Sat. morning biz show on MSNBC who little girl shreiking/speaking voice is so irritating that I have to immediately switch channels. McCain’s whiney voice just scrapes my inner blackboard every time she opens her mouth, & I can’t get past it. Perhaps the folks that do the hiring are only nterested in the visuals. I’m also often surprised at the lousy telephone speaking voices of some of the customer service people, both men & women, that I’ve encountered. Especially horrific are the women who literally speak through their noses–an amazing feat, but definitely unpleasant to the ear. Back to Meghan McCain–sometimes she has a valid point of view, just not often enough in my opinion for a permanent seat at the table.

        Meghan is REPEATEDLY SCREAMED AT by the four other liberals on the panel. It it supposed to be THE VIEW where women exchange their viewpoints. Now whoever sits in Meagans chair is determined by Whoopi. I think the former person in that chair whose name I can’t remeemmber because I am crying and feeling like shit about other things should never have left. She was an independant and Whoopi could not handle it. I want her back and for Meghan to stick around.

          On this I totally agree. I like Meagan, I like that she is strong and able to stand for what she feels. Those women are way over the top liberal and can’t tolerate any one else’s point of view. This is the whole problem with both parties. No one wants anyone to have their own opinions.

          Ya, I am crying over other things too. Another sucky day in the USA

      Isn’t it weird that Meghan would make that comment about Teddi when every thing she has ever gotten in her life (elite education when she isn’t particularly intelligent; plum jobs on television without having unique experience or skills or even being telegenic; her husband being in politics; her wealth) has been received as a direct result of her last name.

    As others have commented, that’s very rich coming from Meghan McCain. If she’d been born Meghan Smith from Arizona instead, nobody would give a single crap about what she has to say and she certainly wouldn’t have a job on TV.

    I wonder if she’s deluded herself into thinking she’s gotten where she is purely on her own merits, or if it’s just another case of “it’s fine for me, but not for thee” that is so common among people of her political persuasion.

    Meghan is used to people kissing her ass. Why she is having a hard time on The View, plus Teddi outsmarted her with her tweet that she was changing her last name to “boring.”

    OT: Teddi earns close to $90K a MONTH as a accountability coach. She has two employees and 350 clients who pay $250/month with $500 sign up fee. She was on Jeff Lewis radio show and he did the math and was flabbergasted. Jeff also signed up as a client. She was very modest and kind of embarrassed how Jeff went on and on about it. Good for her.

      He talked about it today on the radio show – said it was a total bargain at $500. It sounds really intense. You text them things like a picture of your meal (or the menu if you are out asking for advice on what you can order), or your sweaty face after exercising or the progress on an elliptical machine, etc.

      Oh, and if they catch you fucking up or you don’t do something? She will drop you and you forfeit your $.

      He said he was out the other day (he and Gage and a friend who was visiting), and for the 1st two weeks you can’t drink. So he ordered water. Friend had a shrimp cocktail, and he was REALLY tempted because it looked so good. But he refrained.

      Next thing he knew, he was getting a text from Teddi saying how proud she was of him for sticking with water… looked up and Teddi was at the same place! LOL.

      He’s lost 5 lbs already.

    Ericka is fast on her feet I agree 1000% TT and that is 1 of the qualities I am sure Tom loves about her
    I hope that her and Tom are not divorcing in the secrets revealed he looked at her when speaking in a very loving way so maybe it is just rumor I can hope
    Ericka behaved in a bad way on RHBH and I want her to come back and redeem herself ..Teddi when she comes back hope she loosens up a little more she is tightly strung not boring
    Who is Meghan McCain really she got her job famous last name she really is 1 to talk about famous last names I never heard of her before WWHL Her hate for Teddi if it is because Teddi’s dad didn’t want music used thanks for the tea SARAH as TT say makes perfect sense !

    I think that someone is considered knowledgeable about politics if their viewpoint matches that of the commenter. Meghan McCain is an independent which irritates a lot of people who assume she is Republican. I dont agree with her but hate to see her bashed. She has her bone fides. I can’t remember the last time I saw the view but Whoopi and Joy Behar are enough to keep me away.

    Meghan is very sensitive about her father. I understand that completely.

    Why was Erika on a panel to discuss news and worl issues? Do they not do that now?

Couldn’t understand why everyone was looking at her weird when she realized she was wearing it!! And she lives in Connecticut, runs the COC, AND her husband is mayor!! I love her.

    I think it’s hilarious that Megan actually believes she was in a feud with Teddy. She said Teddy was boring and should be fired. Teddy brushed it off. There was no feud. It’s kind of like how BRAVO wanted us to believe there was some feud between LVP and Erika – there was nothing there.

    If anything, I think Megan is PISSED that Teddy refuses to feud with her. It’s like blowhard diffusing 101. If you refuse to engage with a blowhard, all they can do is stew in their own resentment and show themselves as the assholes that they are.

    The jacket is a romper. I still feel that rompers are for little girls. They need a different name for adults besides as RompHim. I haven’t been able to stomach watching the view. It is just a bunch of women screaming at each other. Kinda like Real Housewives but without the glamorous clothes and locales.

    Haven’t watched the View in years. The original crew used to be interesting, and as long as Barbara Walters was on the panel it remained an interesting talk show. Barbara kept things dignified. Behar and Goldberg are such vulgar people and think they have the only opinions worth while. If you don’t snap to
    and agree with their opinions then you are dog meat. Once I saw what the formula for each show was, I
    decided I was obviously way too low class and hillbilly to be in their audience.
