RHOBH Recap: Affairs And Accidents

July 21, 2021 by tamaratattles 175 Comments

RHOBH RecapOMG! I am all set for this RHOBH recap but did not do setups for Family Karma! Argh! I totally forgot that was tonight. I need a ladysitter! Okay here we go, I am still behind on Family Karma but lets get these bitches off to La Quinta, Garcelle, Erika and Crystal are apparently staying at a hotel rather than Kyle’s house. That seems weird but if it means we get less Crystal around my girls Sutton, I am all for it. I had no idea this was a triple recap night, I’ve just been fucking around all day.

RHOBH RecapOff To La Quinta

Thankfully they are not wasting any time getting on with the trip. It’s funny that Erika’s “clubhouse” is being emptied out because it is “an expensive she doesn’t need.” That was where she stayed on many nights. Allegedly. And she was not alone. Allegedly. I guess now her gentleman callers can come to the new fancy mansion. OMG. Erika is going to whine about “being on a budget.” THERE ARE ALLEGEDLY $36 million in her account. She really thinks she is going to sell this narrative because most of the hard stuff didn’t come out until either the very end of filming or after. This all makes her look ridiculous.

Kathy wants to know if there is a bellman to carry in her luggage to her sister’s house. Kathy did apparently have a driver. I thought she said she drove herself, but I must have misunderstood. Or maybe that was Dorit’s driver? Sorry I can’t look at the screen that much. Kyle, Rinna and Dorit learn that at least two million dollars of victim payments was stolen by Tom. They seem shocked. Is Kathy drinking out of a vase? I’m sort of over her highly calculated slapstick. Dorit knows what that is like. She’s had her accounts frozen as well. Also, Tom’s attorneys are about to claim he has Alzheimer’s disease.

Erika Arrives To Spin A Few More Tales…

Everyone flocks to hug Erika. Everyone cries for poor Erika. PULEASE. I know they don’t know what we know now at the time of filming, but still. Let’s wait and see if Erika every once this season says that she feels badly for the widow and children whose money was stolen. Kathy wants Erika to talk to Robert Shapiro. Erika says she knows Bob very well. That makes him suspect as well, Kathy. Erika said that Tom could not see or hear well. Girlfriend, that is not Alzheimer’s. Dorit tries to make it all about her. Sutton talked about her father’s suicide two days before Christmas. I love Sutton for being supportive. But I also know that her ex-husband was UBER wealthy and not a criminal. So it makes sense she might have signed things. Also he was not transferring millions of dollars into her multiple LLCs.

Erika is claiming she has not spoken to Tom at all. But that didn’t stop her from opening YET ANOTHER LLC that allegedly received MILLIONS of dollars from Tom and/or the firm. I love when Kyle says that she is making all this food for people who don’t eat. Rinna comes out in a sequined jumpsuit. Dorit helps Kathy get her luggage to the room. Kyle drops her spices. No one knows how to sweep. I cannot sweep or mop. My mother and sister used to always mock me. IT’S A REAL IMPARMENT! I know what it looks like, but she I try to model that, it doesn’t work. I am the worst housekeeper in the world. My mom used to show up at the most inopportune time and do that. I need a maid.

Erika Jayne Is SO CALCULATED

I love that Erika Jayne says that she will do anything to cleanse except go to confession. She’s southern. So it is HIGHLY unlikely she is Catholic. Tom says he is not paying spousal support. Probably because she is ALLGEDLY sitting on $36 million dollars. Erika says she doesn’t know if there is anything to get. Probably because she already has it all. Erika says he should turn in his bar card and stop practicing. Oddly enough, he was still giving very lucid speeches about this time. I don’t believe for a minute that she is no in communication with Tom. Rinna points out that Tom was very lucid the last time she talked to him a year earlier.

Now suddenly Tom is mean as fuck. She is now saying that Tom’s car accident which was much worse that she said at the time. I am not believing this and neither is Sutton. Then she says she assumed when he didn’t come home he was with some other woman. This is clearly throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. I can’t with this. Seriously. Erika’s “you guys have no idea what I have been living through.” PLEASE. She had her own relationships. Allegedly. Now she is saying she went through his phone and found out he was cheating. This is all fiction. They ALLEGEDLY had an agreement. That was what her “clubhouse” was for ALLEGEDLY, for her liaisons.

Rinna manages to bring up Scott Disick. Because Rinna. And we get a fabulous midseason preview.

    Erika is full of shit. The more I see of her this season, the more obvious it is. I guess she really thought this would help her get away with it. Instead, she looks guiltier than ever… And even worse, it looks like Ron Richards is now on a mission to expose skeletons in other RHOBH cast members’ closets.

    It’s about damned time we get the closet tours we really want and need.

        To put it in the most basic terms, Ron Richards is a specially appointed lawyer / trustee to find out what Tom Girardi did with certain money that he won on behalf of his clients, that he then did not pass on along to those clients. This money is now “missing” (ie misdirected towards funding Erika Jayne’s career.) Ron Richards is going down the rabbit hole to find out where it went, who it went to (Erika) and then he is going to try and recover that money.

    Erika is clearly trying to establish the narrative to protect Tom and herself in their lawsuits. We are supposed to forget everything we saw of Tom in past seasons and just accept that he was some demented, angry husband? This is all so transparent and goes to show that Erica and Tom are not as smart as they think they are.

    Long time lurker. This episode was so ridiculous I had to comment.

    I’m tired of Erika’s theatrics. Her dramatic car accident story kept changing and the way she spoke, slowly and methodically, it was for dramatic effect. I wouldn’t have bought any of her stories, so I don’t understand how the ladies are so supportive when she keeps telling lie after lie. At one point Erika asked, where did the money go? My first reaction was, b!t$#, you spent it all on your glam team! You know, the friends you bought! I saw in the previews at the end that Sutton challenges her story and I’m glad someone is doing that. There is a future scene of Erika crying with a full face of makeup on and I think it’s a joke. This is the ice queen who never shows emotion, yet she’s laying it on real thick. Literally not one natural tear was ever shed that wasn’t wiped away so she’s overacting.

          Cries without running mascara
          She changes her story
          She dramatically gets the vapors
          She complains about her small house
          She faints
          She mentions having no staff
          She works with her glam squad (even though she doesn’t have any ā€œstaffā€ anymore. Allegedly!)
          She introduces yet another new narrative about Tom

      Her story about Tom’s accident was clearly either entirely made up, or the reality of it was changed to fit her dramatic new narrative.
      She contradicted herself when she first said she found Tom, which is how he allegedly found out he was in an accident. What was she doing at this cliff, she just happened to be there when he went over?
      Then, she goes on to say she found out about the accident because Tom called her and told her about it.
      Did anyone else catch this discrepancy?

    They are being good friends. Erika has always been so guarded, it’s the first time she’s let them in. This is totally how I behaved when I left a controlling narcissistic man. I could be transparent about how it really was.

    I’ve been so busy I haven’t seen the evidence against her. I’ll say innocent until proven guilty. For now. And she did mention widows and orphans in that the man she trusted would steal from them.

            I’m sorry you had a sh*tty relationship. I’m glad your out of that. I hope your improving your strength and finding grounding.

            Erika is a tough Subject bc she was very loud about being rich, needing no female friends and choosing a smart powerful husband. She displayed her wealth in a gross manner (and turns out it wasn’t really hers)

            It’s hard to understand when you mention innocent until guilty – bc a lot of information about how she is choosing not to follow court orders on assets is in the public domain. She’s kept selling her clothes on a resale sight months after being asked to stop (by court).
            I think it’s prob a gut reaction to give the ā€œeye rollā€ for a lot of us who are aware of how she isn’t obeying court orders….so it’s the lack of looking for the info that feels like willful ignorance (or being a busy person!).

              I appreciate your response. The controlling husband (father of my children) is alive and we are very cordial. The husband who died I married after getting divorced 13 years ago. Terry who died was my soulmate.

              I have educated myself on Erika’s non disclosures. Does she only have Richards, or does she get to choose representation? I would definitely agree, if you have $$$ you got from Gerardi, give it up it doesn’t belong to you.

              Her being flashy and in your face was when she (I believe) did not know he was stealing the money she was spending is just something she was used to. Wtf do I know. I just always liked her.

              Nancy, Richards is not her attorney. The super short version, He is the attorney basically assign to go through her documents and find the assets to liquidate for the victims.
              She has her own team of attorneys working for her.

    That car accident story was so full of holes. He was in a coma for 12 hours–she says she knows because she found him. How would she know how long it had been? He drove off a cliff but then it was that he fell out of a car. Then he called her…when he was unconscious? Confused. Looks like Sutton is going to call her on some of her stuff. I feel like Rinna is keeping Erika at arms length, not getting too involved. Probably wants to keep the gloss business above the fray.

    Again, why is Dorit on this show? We get yet another packing scene with her kids. After that, she’s just a lot of wide-eyed, mouth-agape reaction shots whenever someone’s telling a story. It’s so Heidi & Lauren from the open of The Hills.

          I was on antidepressants and if she was really on them then she wouldn’t cry like she did in the past episode and be happy drinking champagne the next scene. Antidepressants don’t make you “drugged” where you can’t remember your story. They make you feel calm, not so emotional. She is very emotional compared to how we have seen her in the past. She is being calculated, working on her acting skills and trying to see what stories the ladies believe so she can use them in court.

              Tried lexapro ? It’s good for anxiety/depression. Sometimes people will put it with another one to help energy levels.

              I think key is to try them for at least a couple Months. You’ll feel wacky for a couple weeks bc body needs to adjust. My brain needs them :/. Some people need them situationally – my life is my situation ;). I’ve taken for a long long time.

            Not in defense of Erika, but I have to respectfully disagree about the effects of antidepressants. You can still be VERY emotional on antidepressants. It entirely depends on the person, their state of mind, and what they are going through. There is no one standard reaction to these types of medications. That said, Erika has to know that she benefitted from the settlements that were awarded to Tom’s clients. Maybe she did not know at the time (???), but surely she knows NOW and should forfeit and money that rightfully belongs to others.

          I just want to say I don’t believe Erika about the money at all. But I looked that crazy when with a man like Tom. I didn’t know what my own opinion was. I wasn’t allowed to have any. It really is a brainwashing, so I’ll give her that she was making the best of it to tell herself it was fine to stay for the money. But she’s guilty. And I don’t buy Tom’s dementia BS. Nor the car accident story. The thing that resonates with me in the doc, that was so like my ex, is he tells the young burn victim (whose money he stole) that he’s a good guy. If you’re a good guy, you don’t need to tell people that.

      Erica face looked so different from the scene at the restaurant with Kyle. Erica’s story about the car accident is completely made up. Let’s see the police report and insurance claim and then decide. Erica’s stories have more holes then swiss cheese. She is so narcissist she believes she can fool us.

      There is a rumor that Erica gave Rinna $5 million to help start her makeup line. Maybe this is why Rinna is die-hard Erica.

        Seems like Kyle is too. At dinner, it was almost like Erika called her beforehand and told her to ask a few leading questions and bring up old shit. Remember you told me this, Erika? – and then this happened, remember? – oh yeah, you did say that awhile ago!

        Why was Kyle her narrator? Semmed forced and planned…..

        I think Rinna is worried that all her skeletons will be let out of the closet if she doesn’t support Eirka. Plus, as you say, the so-called investment in the lipstick line.

        They all have skeletons and fear disclosure. Plus they are all disingenuous and will rally around a clearly lying co-star to keep the story going and the light off them.

        I was laughing when someone mentioned Kyle’s OTT open-mouth reactions to Erikas bullshit stories. And Dorit as well. Acting at their “best.” They are jokes. And this fawning and wide mouthed reactions is a slap in the face to the real victims.

          Just to insert a few facts…

          Someone started a bullshit rumor about Erika investing in Rinna’s company.

          And I know for sure that Kyle is shocked by all the news coming out, yet, she kind of wants to be in denial. This is REAL TIME not on the episodes.

          I do think that during filming the women were told repeatedly, these are allegations. etc. I think Kyle, Rinna, and whoever sticks by her did so for those reasons. I also know they are questioning thing NOW. Not sure if it was before or after the literal handholding shots for IG with their little 12yr old girl “team name” and motto, but I do know that eventually a puppies eyes open.

          I also think they have to be smarter than they appear on the show with even limited information and will scramble not to be associated with Erika eventually. NOT DURING THIS FILMING SEASON. But next will be all about WHO COULD HAVE KNOW ABOUT ERIKA BEING A FELON BY BRAVO?

          But Erika has put all of them in a VERY bad situation. Think about it. If you were filming at TV show with your “friends” and someone was accused of all the shit she did, what would you do? I imagine most people would just go with the fake (but not scripted) plans for the show.

          They are going to definitely regret that whole hand holding shit on IG.

            Dorit staunchly defends Erika, and now, as Tamara has reported here several times, Dorit’s own debt issues are being widely reported. She owes the IRS #1.3 million? My guess is that those who defend Mrs. Girardi most vigorously are they, themselves, feeling guilty about their own grifts.

    I don’t mind Kathy’s oddities, she can be funny, and I’m enjoying watching her and Kyle get along. Now Erika, she was a diva and played the part very well, but now miss diva has blossomed into a very pathetic drama queen. She walked in there ready for all the ladies to rush by her side, with all the hugs and sad faces just for her. I can’t wait til the ladies get it all figured out and possibly want nothing to do with her, but first they all need to call her on her bullshit. Especially with her and her empty threats, like really. If the choice is to continue sucking up to this calculated liar because they are afraid of her, that’s crazy, just lock your doors and don’t answer. I would love to know what LVP is thinking about all of this, I’m sure she has a head full of one liners.

The others have chosen to go along to get along with her. They seem afraid of her. Or maybe they truly don’t want to abandon their “friend.” But has ERIKA EVER been a friend to anyone on this show? NOPE. So why are they pandering to her NOW? IDGI.

          Agree, at the beginning, Kathy was a new personality who seemed harmless. But she is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She is mean and hides behind that demeanor to get her digs in. Sutton is in her sites, I assume because of her BFF Christol. She was jabbing Kyle quite a bit last night and Kyle was doing her best to laugh it off. But one could see the history of Kathy ruling the other sisters with an iron fist.

        I don’t understand the friendship thing either. Before this happened, you never saw Erika hanging out with Rinna Dorit or Kyle outside of shooting HW. There were no social media posts together. Erika even made the comment in prior seasons that she doesn’t have close women friends. Now all of a sudden they are Fox force five and she and Rinna are Thelma and Louise…nope not buying it. They are obviously all working an angle for the show. Unfortunately they are on the wrong side. When Erika goes down for this they will spin it that they were lied too and how could Erika deceive them like this. It will be very dramatic and they will be the victims and all discuss at length securing them another season on the show.

Her Lexus was in the driveway, and she was dripping in her diamonds. She had one Diamond ring that was huge. He said the whole time she went on & on about being a single mother, being divorced, needed a break, couldn’t he do it for less, etc. She could afford it. He said it was insulting. He was supposed to cut his price so that she could maintain her lifestyle. People like that are sickening. I was embarrassed.

    I can’t believe Erika flat out admitted she knew Tom was cheating on her years ago but stayed with him because of the money. The reason I can’t believe it is because this shows she knew that money had dried up/would be drying up BEFORE she filed for divorce because she literally said on tv tonight that she was willing to stay in a loveless marriage BECAUSE OF THE MONEY. Thus, she clearly knew the money was going to dry up or had dried up and that’s why she filed for divorce (she literally admitted that he had been disrespecting her and sleeping with other women for years). And it seems even more likely that when she got back from Palm Springs, Tom told her they needed to get divorced to hide whatever money/assets he still had. Either that, or she found out there was no money and left him.

And to claim that was the beginning of his decline might have some truth on the physical side, But the man was giving speeches right up to his being served, and afterward, and those in attendance said he was totally lucid and gave great speeches.

    Gotta admit it’s hard to feel sorry for Erika considering how much she flaunted her wealth in the past – the clothes, the glam, jewels, private jets, $40K a month for EJ. IF the story of her marriage is true, it’s understandable why she developed the ā€œIce Queenā€ personae. Personally I feel the truth is somewhere in the middle of the scenario – she knew some things but not all. But considering how serious these allegations are and compare them to the allegations against Denise, well obviously one is serious & the other not so much. But look how they rally around E but set out to destroy Denise. Of course with Denise Rinna saw her storyline & grabbed on to it because that’s who she is. Will she do the same as more info comes out about Erika? Doubt it.
    And as delightful as Kathy seems to be, I’m not really buying her cluelessness. I think it’s a personae she adopting for this show to keep a focus on how ā€œkookyā€ she is instead of anything deep. Doubt she will accept a ā€œdiamondā€ next year. She’s in the catbird seat – included but not inclusive. Nothing with her family, business, etc.
    Dorit is basically just a walking billboard.

    Kathy is the one who is medicated. She has that vacant look, not ruffled by anything, difficulty following a train of thought…..that combined with some learned helplessness from being pampered her whole life. If you forget her history she is entertaining to watch.
    Erika, Erika, so many lies….Do they really care about her or do they just care about the drama? The nicer they are to her, the more she will spew lies.
    Every time she laments about her lost income and closing her bachelorette pad, I think of that poor burned kid, not getting a dime, and Tom just going out of his way to bullshit him.

    Did Erika throw Yolanda and David’s reason for divorce out there while telling her tales? Let’s not lose this in all the other stories! Erika said ā€œafter what happened with Yolanda and David, I decided to go through Tom’s phoneā€ (and she found an affair. It sure infers that Yolanda found a something, something on David’s phone, no? Just adding a PS to this, wives usually find a way to start looking at the financials, even if they haven’t been too involved before, when they find evidence of affairs, too.
    In the past, David has said he will never disclose the real reasons for the divorce. Yolanda has eluded to the show and her illness, it David has said that’s not it.
    One more thing. Let’s say we take some of what Erika is saying at face value. She sees him declining all the way back to the auto accident and finds at least one affair, but she stays. A few years later, she leaves and is talking about leaving, because of his decline and not getting help being the last straw. If you’re the wife of a lawyer, surely you know or can talk to plenty of people who know that’s when you ā€œhatch a planā€ to talk to medical social workers his doctors, lawyers and other family members, as necessary, to take the steps to see what’s wrong or proceed with conservatorships yourself if he’s incapacitated (rather than divorce). That’s why this is very suspect, beyond everything else being reported now.

      She could have just made sure he’s comfortable and well cared for and go have free reign to do what you want, answer to no one and have total control of the purse strings.

      But that’s not what happened. He’s broke and in trouble and she’s a big reason why he’s in trouble…

Now she is leaving him because he is in decline? Not adding up. Okay let’s say he was cheating too. No one can convince me that she was not too. Clearly there are other reasons…1) He is in legal trouble. 2) He may be having money issues. 3) She is helping to hide assets. It is hard to see it any other way?!

    Not buying the poorly acted spin queen Erica. She is truly trying to make up evidence to support her case. Here comes the spin that he isn’t right, the defense can’t say Dementia as there is evidence that he is lucid and giving speeches before he was charged. Dementia comes in as a slow burn, not fast. The only way to squirm out of things is an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, which can be quick, 1-2 yrs, but not that quick. Hope the prosecution blows that out of the water by trying to get medical records. Plus it was his Psychiatrist who diagnosed him with Alzheimer’s, girl please, nope. It is complex to diagnose Alzheimer’s and a Neurologist or PCP orders a panel of blood test, MRI, scans looking for Tau or amyloid proteins and/or a lumbar puncture looking for tau and NF light chain proteins as well as low amyloid-beta. A Psychiatrist does not order that work up, they may assume, but you can’t diagnose based on assumption.

    The car accident was another example of the ā€œhe is illā€ changing story, He was out for 12 hours, but he called you, you found him unconscious, girl bye. What is he calculating, philandering, mean, or old and ill?

    All the money is gone, Tom doesn’t pay me a cent, but he put $$ in your LLC and the defunct firm is still paying into it, now a new LLC to try and keep your ill gotten gains?

    Sutton is lovely, you can see the cogwheels turning and her figuring out that something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

    Tired of these women supporting Erica, who may not have been fully cognizant of her husband’s thievery, but certainly still tries to hide and keep her monetary ā€œgiftsā€ as well as try and sell ā€œgiftsā€ that were bought with clients settlement money.

    She is alway in full glam, not to poor to keep shelling out money for that. Nope, she needs to go, clink clink.

    Also, is it possible that Erika has been faking it her entire time on the show? Was any of it real? Her marriage, the planes they chartered but didn’t own? I wondered why their house needed so much work. Rich people do not keep a rotten tree in their back yard, and they repair the pool tiles. Were all of their cars leased? How do you blow tens of millions of dollars and have nothing to show for it? I guess that is the 36 million dollar question.

      As someone who used to wear fake lashes a hundred years ago, I did use mascara because it helped blend the fake lashes with the real ones. I don’t wear them anymore but fake lashes are so much better now it’s probably not necessary. Of course, the dramatic (comical) effect of mascara running down her face wouldn’t have happened.

    I thought it was very telling how Erica said she would do anything but go to confession. I didn’t take it as going to confession because that is what Catholic’s do. I heard it as “I won’t go to confession” because I didn’t do anything wrong. She is trying to spin it that she is broke and currently has nothing but she still fails to remember she spent money that didn’t belong to her or Tom.

    I’m not saying that Erika knew nothing about what was going on but I really don’t believe she knew it all. Her LLC was created in 2008 with Tom as the Agent for Service of Process. Her Corp. (Pretty Mess, Inc.) was created in January 2021 which was after she filed for divorce and most likely created for her post-divorce income. Tom’s assets were frozen in December 2020 and Girardi Keese has already filed for bankruptcy before Erika’s Corp. was even created so there’s no way he could’ve transferred money to Erika’s Corp. That money may have been transferred to the LLC before that but if Tom actually controlled the EJ Global LLC, the fact that he transferred money to that LLC doesn’t mean anything. As a lawyer, it just gets frustrating when people believe everything they hear without actually knowing the “facts”. Which ultimately we may never because only Erika and Tom really know. The fact that Crystal doesn’t even look at her bank account or want to look at a bank statement should give an indication that in the world of very wealthy women, money is not something you worry about. I also find it interesting that Tom and Erika were marred for 20 years and he never seemed to have an issue with making client payments until recently. Everyone is saying he was financing Erika’s lavish lifestyle but it just doesn’t make sense to me that the embezzlement of client funds didn’t appear to occur until the last couple of years. I think Erika is a stoic ice queen that is very experienced at hiding her emotions and putting on a facade. I never bought her relationship with Tom as being wonderful and loving. She seemed to me as someone who fulfilled her role in his life as agreed and she was very respectful of him. But she also always seemed a little afraid of him to me, and she always said that he was the most ruthless person she knew. She once said they didn’t have a pre-nup because Tom would never let her leave that marriage with anything, pre-nup or not. I’m just saying don’t believe everything you read or see. Lawyers tell the facts in the light most favorable to their clients and to create certain implications but it doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily true without the full context.

      I admit I didn’t get past the “her post divorce income” bullshit. Court documents claim that Erika Jayne and her two entertainment business companies (EJ Global, LLC and Pretty Mess, Inc) received jewelry, luxury items and lottery payments from Girardi Keese to the total of $25 million. As a result, they suggested Erika Jayne conspired with Tom Girardi and his law firm to hide assets meant for the supposed victims in the ongoing cases. The HIDING OF ASSETS IN THOSE TWO COMPANIES were at $25 million at the time of THAT court filling and they have now found another ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS.

      Whatever happened to Broke TOM and Broke Erika? She has received THIRTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS SINCE SHE FILED FOR DIVORCE. Does that make sense to you? Come on.

    Just watched it omg.

    First of all will say this in earlier seasons Erika never showed emotion. Except for the strange crying and embracing Tom scene. That was uncomfortable to watch… I can only speak from my experience. When you have a husband who is verbally abusive. You learn quickly to “put the mask on” all emotions are threats. I doubt Tom was the “perfect” husband. But she had financial motive while others have children. The later unfortunately keeps in the hell cause why put your kids in poverty then to sacrifice yourself. So I can see why she would stay. But that is where my sympathy ends. I can relate to Sutton’s mom.

    I find police interrogations fascinating. They way the perp think they are so clever and can talk their way out of their crime. But the fact that they are “talking” is to their detriment. Erika and her newly spun “Tom” stories reminds me of those. Her car accident story makes zero sense. More Tom is sick which at his age I do not doubt. She should not have filmed this season. It makes her look worse.

    The half season trailer looks promising. Looks like they turn on Erika. Probably why the facade of support on social media.

    The best response I’ve seen to threats like that is from Atlanta’s new gal Mia. Wendy told her not to stick her hand in her face (upcoming scene) and Mia said ‘well it’s there now, what are you going to do about it?” LOVED that moment. I don’t know how it will play out since the episode hasn’t aired yet but that response was GOLD. I wish Sutton had similar confidence in the face of EJ’s wrath. I feel like they’re all afraid of her and that’s the only reason she’s been so successful with conning them.

    I bet the other BH housewives are sorry they filmed this season with her in hindsight. If all the info we have now had come out when they were filming I bet they would have said they didn’t want to be associated with her and have the stink rub off on them.

    I spent some time in ex-Yugoslavia in the 90’s with my ex-husband that wrote articles about war criminals there and they often had a type of wife that performed singing to aggressive music with outfits no decent person wants to wear. These women got a lot of expensive gifts never ever feeling sorry about the victims.

      This is right on to how she behaves. Erika role was to be a wife and perform or support him. Now that her money is in danger she’s going ā€œoh no poor meā€. I’d say roll and work with the prosecution

    Um, Nana seems to have diarrhea of the mouth. Or is it just me? I mean I love comments but good grief, woman, TAKE A BREATH.

    Also Nana is married and I am not? I feel like I could easily steal her husband, but would I want him? NOPE. LOL.

    I guess Erika didn’t hire divorce lawyers until after she started filming. If she did, they would have told her not to talk about herself as a breadwinner on camera.
    The book she wrote, the avitar, the shoe collection, all can be used against her if she wants to get anything out of her divorce. DUH.
