The RHOBH recaps are by far the most commented on here. The season seems to be going well. So, I have no idea why we didn’t have episode last season. Then, tonight we get the 1111 episode (Season 11 Episode 11). However, they gave us only one very poor quality preview. I just went to review some Bravo ratings and RHOBH is the only franchise that consistently has over a million views a week. In other news, Family Karma ratings were bad. 🙁 Why can’t people watch the good shows?
Croquet Anyone?
We pick back up with everyone at Kyle’s house in La Quinta. The kitchen is a disaster. They decide to call a maid. Can you send her to my house afterward? Anyway, they wake up to breaking news that Tom Girardi was “secretly hospitalized.” Rinna, Dorit, Kyle and Crystal take electric bikes to a quaint little neighborhood for crepes. I want a crepe! Kathy calls them and asks for a straw and some chia seeds. It’s an emergency. lol. The ladies rudely ignore Kathy’s dire emergency and instead talk about Erika and Tom. They seem to buy in to the cheating story. They think she is not going to get any financial support. You know, other than that $36 million that is allegedly sitting in her accounts.

Erika apparently has a house in La Quinta that she has never been to. She doesn’t even know where it is. Erika doesn’t even know the address. So how will she have a key? In the meantime, the women go to play croquet. They do not know how to play croquet. It’s ridiculous. I used to play a bit a hundred years ago. It’s really a simple game. Kathy shows up right after they give up. Garcelle will arrive in La Quinta tonight. Rinna and Garcelle are still in a bad place. Garcelle doesn’t follow Rinna or Kyle! What’s up with that? Garcelle’s arrival should be interesting. The scenes so far have been really short. The ladies all head back to the house.
Erika Learns How Banks Work?
Garcelle arrives in a full hazmat suit with a mask and a helmet face shield. Half of the women in the house have recently had Covid so she is not taking any chances. She heads back to the hotel and hangs out with Crystal for a bit. When Garcelle finds out that Erika is now claiming Tom was cheating, she remembers Erika specifically denying that to her. Now, when the ladies get together for dinner, Erika claims she just learned how to “go into a bank” in March. Come on, girl. This is just ridiculous. Kathy Hilton says she doesn’t know how to use an ATM. That I believe. I haven’t used one in years. Mostly because I forgot my PIN. It’s easier just to put everything on Amex.

The ladies all ordered takeout for dinner. Lots of takeout. Kyle tells Erika that her house in La Quinta has apparently been sold. Wouldn’t she need to sign off on that? Sutton tells Erika that in addition to a very good attorney, she needs a team of forensic accountants. This was the least exciting dinner in housewives history. I’m not mad about it. I’m sick of the dramatic dinners. I feel like some things might have been put on the cutting room floor? Perhaps having to do with Erika? The first half of the season they seemed to be coming for her hard.
Erika Has A New Spin On Tom
The next day the ladies break into two groups. Garcelle, Crystal and Erika are going hiking, and the rest of them are going Christmas shopping. The hikers talk about lots of things. Garcelle is the youngest of seven children. They love the desert. Erika shares very little despite Garcelle pretty much giving her the third degree about her financials. Erika said everything went on her credit card. Garcelle asks her if she got divorced because of the lawsuits. She claims not to know about them but she was PERSONALLY SERVED around the same time that Tom was. She also eludes to Tom’s car accident three years ago claiming than he had a significant head injury that completely changed him. At that time, the only reported injury was to his ankle.

Erika goes on and on about how since then they have not had conversations. He would repeat things several times. Wait, remember when they went to Lake Havasu or wherever and she talked about how much she enjoying quarantining with Tom because they got to share meals and conversations together every day? This is a complete reversal of that story. Now she says he would repeat himself all day and that if she would point out she already heard that story he would rage at her. I do not believe her. AT. ALL. Now she is straight up claiming he has Alzheimer’s. WOW. She also says Tom calls her every day but she doesn’t take his calls because of his legal issues. That’s odd.
Garcelle Suffers the Wrath Of Erika
All the ladies get back together for taco night courtesy of Kathy Hilton who went through the Del Taco drive-through. Garcelle tells the group that Tom calls Erika everyday. Erika is pissed that she would share that private information with the group. She gets really snippy with Garcelle who looks very hurt. She tells Garcelle to “go ahead and have her moment” as if she is doing it for camera time. Then Erika says she’ll just tell the fucking story. Tom calls her all the time. This is the first time Garcelle has ever seen Erika come for someone. Production plays us a montage.

Erika starts bawling and then they are all pretty much fighting back tears. Erika tells Garcelle that she already got it out of her once, she didn’t have to do it again in front of everyone. Garcelle did sort of dig in with the questions on the hike. But, I don’t think the fact that Tom calls her is some sort of major secret. Erika wanders off to cry. Garcelle wonders what the big deal is. Sutton is also confused why this is all such a big deal. We can hear Erika having a panic attack in the bathroom.
Next week: Things get even worse for Erika as more stories about Tom hit the news. And they begin to discover that Erika is not innocent in all of the legal drama. Sutton says she is not sure she wants to be involved with Erika during all this drama.
When I was in the 7th grade I rode my bike to the bank and deposited birthday and babysitting money by myself.
To hear that a gown woman doesn’t know how banks work is ludicrous surely she deposited her tips from her stripping days.
Oh snap! LOL
Exactly. She was NOT manor-born. She is just a two-bit hustler.
Best comment ever
Everything out of ericas mouth is a lie. I think they both had an “understanding” and both had relationships outside of their marriage. So why is she so upset he “cheated”. She cheated too & was the one with the apartment for her trysts. She’s not dumb and isn’t a good enough actress to pull it off. Your right TT she knew what was coming because she was served! Uggg if she made a deal with the feds to get immunity I will be 😡 and wonder which government official she is giving special favors too! Sorry for the rant but the corruption in my state is widespread & sickening.
Garcelle & Sutton are too good for this shit show.
Yes you are right
it broke my heart to see Garcelle cry she was really hurt by Erikas attack
I echo what several others said…what was the big deal?? SHE HAD ALREADY SAID IT ON CAMERA!!! And her fake boohooing in the bathroom was a testament to her lack of acting skills.
Yes these two are the only ones worth watching. I love Kathy & the three of them would make for an outstanding trip. Loved Kyle & Lisa forever but the Denise Richards incident is forever stuck in my head. I felt Denise was slut shamed & I can’t get past it.
I agree. I’ve always loved Rinna (the good, the bad and the ugly), until the situation with Denise last year. IMHO, she did nothing wrong to THEM and what happened or didn’t happen should only be a conversation between her and her husband. Rinna and Kyle, were relentless and malevolent (especially Rinna) in their campaign against Denise and it made me take a second AND A THIRD look at both of them.
They were angry because Denise was not required to film as much as they were. She not only had her soap opera job to go to, she was also filming Hallmark movies, so she had lots of “excused absences”. They decided the gay affair had more traction than to just bitch about her not attending various events.
Lisa is a mouth. She acts like she’s so perfect but she spits filth out of that piehole too much. If Denise did what Rina accused her of doing, it’s none of Lisa’s business. She needs to sweep the garbage from her own doorway first.
Agree 100%. I like Sutton and I think Sutton would fit in better with the Dallas ladies. Garcelle could go to NY and save that franchise. Then again, Garcelle is too good for that group too
Sutton and Kamryn would he besties for sure
I agree, 100%. I love them both.
Erika was certainly covering all her bases in this episode.
She’s divorcing Tom because he’s a cheater and is dismissive of her, she has no money, she knows NOTHING about money, bank accounts, real estate holdings. Tom had a major head injury/dementia/Alzheimer’s. Of course they don’t speak! She’s this naive little flower that was at the beckon call of this powerful man who is now pretty much a zombie. I. Don’t. Buy. It.
Totally agree. She painted the picture she wanted us to see.
NAT! Exactly!! I could not believe when she said she didn’t know how to go to the bank! Please!!
Well said Nat! Spinning her narrative for obvious legal reasons. This woman is not stupid.
Also…she didn’t know how to go to the bank?? She was an adult when she met Tom, she was a single mother. She really wants people to believe she had NO IDEA how to take care of herself? Rigghhhtttt.
IKR.. I thought the same thing. This part of her story doesn’t fit.
Erika is trying to control the narrative. She is painting a picture and wants no questions asked. Not gonna happen with this group with the exception of Rinna which is surprising as she has raked others over the goals for much less.
Love this site, I typically just lurk but had to comment. 😊
Welcome, Boo!
Same. Total lurker here too. But this season there’s just too much to chat about—finally. No more puppy gate panty gate, actually real life storyline. Imagine if Doritos and her finances were actually brought to the forefront. We’d have Emmy award winning tv. A girl can dream. But I’ll take what we’re being served.
Isn’t that what a good defense attorney does? She/he paints a picture of an alternative reality to throw the case in doubt. Erica has been laying the ground work for a while now.
I know I’m naive but it what they did really bums me out. I feel bad for all those people who were screwed over. I’m sure it’s been traumatic for them.
Okay, something isn’t right over here and I’m just wondering if I’m the only one or if there are more that had the same thing. Tonight’s show is the same episode that was on last weeks, just as you have described in your recap. Unless I can see into the future and what I thought I watched was tonight’s episode, otherwise it could just mean my brain is scrambled or over here in Ontario (Canada, not California) they are just replaying it, no idea why but yeah, shaking my head. Question I have and I’m looking forward to is when the other ladies start to doubt Erika, because if you said it was episode 11, how many episodes are there in one of their seasons? Oh yes, last week I think/believe I commented on here, because this is the only place I come to for all my housewife info, your recaps are the best. But last week I’m sure I saw a picture of Tom with these really loose shorts on, that looked horrible and a black eye, I think I said something about how this man was all about the expensive suits, now I don’t know what he wore around the house as far as casual wear, but I would imagine anything casual would not have been as wrinkled as the ones he was wearing in the picture. I’m so lost atm, wish I could blame it on the booze, because I’m late in drinking my smirnoff ice with pink lemonade, sometimes a throw a shot of vodka in my glass as well, basically to make sure I was going to get more out of my drink, but I need to buy a new juice pitcher, my old one is used for unclogging the toilet, it’s taken me all my life to figure out how to unclog a toilet now its easy peasy, Dish soap then just start filling up the jug with hot water, and in a matter of under 5 minutes things just slide right on thru. I am so proud of myself, I always hated calling the super to call the plumber to come over and do it and I hated it. I’m really sorry guys, I didn’t mean to rant on and on.so now I will stop and go back to reading all the comments, I just can’t wait to see what I watch next week. As I’m so stumped at this it’s totally messed me up. lmao As I said this is the best place to always come for the recaps, so thank you for that.
This may be the best post ever on any site.
Rant away ole canookin. You made my comment lurking self come out of the closet today. This whole post gives me both life and I.AM.DEAD. I love Tamara Tattles.
Maybe they did show it last week in Canada. They must have, if you saw it. Here in the U.S., we didn’t get an episode last week.
No episode here on Slice in Canada last week!!!
I will second that JDPLONDON,IM in Nanaimo British Columbua & no episode last week! Thanx 4 letting me post. I LOVE ALL ON RHOBH despite whats going on, its my FAVORITE SHOW!!
Well I saw the episode where Erika goes ballistic over Garcelle and listened to Erika in the powder room, it almost sounded like she was rehearsing while she was in there, I have seen it all twice but could ff thru certain scenes.. Erika has always made sure she came across as the toughest bitch of the west, she made clear not to mess with her and now suddenly she’s putting kleenex out of business. Also Rinna is all over Erika, almost seems like she wants to get all the details before anyone else
omg a new drink! I cant wait to try smirnoff ice with pink lemonade and a shot of vodka. yummers. The toilet trick is great, too, I usually just plunge.
Hi Tami 🙂 Thank you for the info for the unclog my mom has portable commode due to age, I’m going to try your trick! Haven’t had a mixed drink in 25 yrs sounds relaxing. Sutton/Erica rage episode soon can’t wait,! HUGS
Slice seemed to have jumped ahead an episode after skipping a week. Love the DIY tips..
It feels so good when you finally figure something out on your own, no matter your age. I get excited when I figure out something on my phone or computer…. that other people have been casually doing for years.
Poor Erika. No money 😢 Maybe Andy Cohen will buy her diamond “CUNTY” necklace.
HA!
Hahahahahaha. If only she’d be so lucky.
Very confusing. Hard to follow the various stories, and like Tami said my episode started with last week’s then went into this week. Why would Erika be saying good things in Lake Tahoe then divorcing him the next week? That was the LAST thing I wanted to talk about before the divorce was enacted. “Something in the buttermilk ain’t clean!”
EJ is being kind of Cunty…..
I do not blame Sutton for questioning whether she wants to be around Erika. Anything they see or hear sets them up to be deposed.
Erika’s stories are really contradictory.
TT should have a post and we can list all the contradictions from what she has said in the past vs the present narrative!
YUP read on Twitter Richards implied that housewives will be sequestered!! Hmm Sutton is one of the brightest in the the rest are ???
So far this season Sutton and Crystal have been guests on WWHL twice. Kyle, Kathy and Garcelle each once. I don’t remember Dorit or Lisa Rinna being guests except following the premiere episode, minus Erika (who is not doing press).
Have they been on and I didn’t see? Or are they on ice too?
Now that I’ve seen Crystal on WWHL, I am liking her better. I did not like how she talked to Sutton in earlier episodes. She says she and Sutton are in a better place now.
Crystal is starting to grow on me as well. I think earlier this season she was trying to bring the drama and not being her authentic self. She’s a lot more real than some of these other ladies.
Love Crystal on WWHL. I think she must have been uncomfortable in the beginning, and it came out weird ways. She seems much more down to earth with a season under her belt!
In Silicon Valley, I lived around lots of Crystals. They think they’re queen bee because their husbands make money. Snore. I am liking her better, but when crossed, she’ll turn right back into a mean girl. I think it’s who she is. I don’t think she’s the kind of woman who has girlfriends unless she considers them beneath her or equal to her — how I think she sees Kathy Hilton.
Crystal is a smirk. She tries to act better than Sutton or any of the girls. At least Sutton is true blue. Crystal seems sneaky and devious.
Garcelle is working for her Diamond, I’m glad she is asking the questions we want to know. It’s great to see sutton starting to see things are not lining up with Erika. I’m shocked real rich people like Kathy would be around people like Erika and Dorit and devious ways! Speaking of Kathy when they said she was being tacos, as a Hispanic person from Southern California I thought she was bring street tacos… not del taco, not shading del taco personally my favorites (my man friend aka boyfriend used work for corporate) but thought was funny. It’s great to see Erika breakdown, personally Ive been wanting to see it all season long, now we just need a cameo from her Toyota celica. Anyways I don’t feel like Erika was crying because Garcelle brought up the Tom calls I think she was having a panic attack because she worried about what is being said on camera, I personally think she knows she caught herself in a lie. Since the beginning of the season she has been self producing herself to come off a certain way and this panic attack has to do more with the lawsuits than her divorce. Overall looking forward to the next episode.
Ps I wish Kyle would open her eyes and not be on Erika side, Rinna was quiet like a church mouse… how convenient
Ugh…I thought she was bringing real tacos too. What a disappointment.
Lol, I actually appreciated the del taco from a Hilton!
Did you notice Dorit interjecting her opinion without knowing all the facts? Thank goodness Crystal spoke up and gave a bit of backstory.
So, I don’t think she knew much about his business dealings. I think he was a successful, respected, well connected rich older man. He saved her and her son. Remember, Erin Brockovich? People probably treated him like a hero in some capacity for a long time. She was fine being the trophy wife/gold digger. She knew her assignment. I also think she is too smart to make a music video about it being expensive to be her and give the direct amount of $40000/month if she knew he was really stealing from clients. All of that being said, if she is hiding money or assets at this point, she is so wrong. She should certainly be cooperating with the families to make things right. I also think she thinks she really messed up when she said he is calling her. The truth is, if they have a case it’s already too late especially if the IRS gets involved wanting unclaimed taxes. I’m guessing he may use burner phones and she might, too. He may be instructing her on what steps to take. If she is hiding funds, she is going to be in big trouble.
The money has already been found. She has millions of dollars that belonged to the victims.
Speaking of “knowing the assignment” Garcelle and Crystal were hand picked to isolate Erika and interrogate her about Tom. Crystal wimped out, and Garcelle asked all the pertinent questions. Erika knew it. She said Garcelle got it out of her once, she didn’t need to do it again in front of everyone. She genuinely felt betrayed by Garcelle.
I have to side with Garcelle on this one. This is not about a juvenile friendship betrayal. This is right vs. wrong. She has had her fun blowing through other people’s money that was awarded for real medical bills and complete devastation- easy come easy go. If those stories are true, those numbers are outlandish and downright greedy. I get wanting or needing enough to survive on but my gosh!! Also, I’m not really sure why she would expect tons of loyalty from anyone. It doesn’t appear that she is a genuine friend to anyone.
Also, glad to hear you back to your spunky self, friend!
Erika’s crying performance in the bathroom — who cries and says stuff like she did, e.g., “I didn’t know anything,” etc? She fucked up, was outed, and ran in the bathroom to fake ugly cry and give her defense. It was such bullshit.
I cry and say stuff like that when I had a court hearing with my ex-hole. Erica said there was a Court hearing that day. She was waiting for the transcripts. She KNEW when she was sitting on the chair that EVERYTHING was going to come out and she was scared of the shame, humiliation, lies and everything else negative. She knew that afternoon that people would know she was named in the court documents too. Her world crashed that afternoon.
During my day in court, I had to go to the bathroom and say things out loud to remind myself I am strong, I am brave and this will pass.
I just fail to understand why Erica thinks things should be a secret when she is on a REALITY TV SHOW. Nothing is secret when you are wearing a microphone and cameras are following you around.
I couldn’t agree more!
I think this season got interesting because the dynamics have shifted to a good mix.
All of them got better without LVP.
But, then they were friends and the drama was too manufactured and ridiculous courtesy of the actual actresses involved. The sex crap was dull and then sadly friendship ending. I hope Garcelle and Rinna get past that shit.
Now we have a mix of serious money again, actual friendships, newer friendships (maybe, or at least working castmates) and a nice juicy uncontrollable real world drama with the most secretive of them all. It’s better than puppygate or pantygate by light years.
I loved hearing Dorit pipe up about offshore accounts in the forensic accounting discussion. She’s grown on me much more since she’s not up Lisa’s butt. I’ve even come to appreciate some of her more put together label whore ensembles.
‘Now we have a mix of serious money’ lol the only one with serious money was LVP. You’ve got 3 cast members who can’t pay bills and/or are being sued into oblivion and/or have liens up the wazoo and/or can’t afford the homes they are squatting in. That’s not a serious mix of money. You’ve been fooled by smoke and mirrors.
Kathy, Kyle, Sutton and Crystal all have serious money. All of them have more money that LVP. You are the one who was fooled by swan shit and hairless dogs.
LOL–for sure!
Also, I remember Rinna saying, a few years ago, that their accountant told them that she and Harry never have to work again, thanks to the QVC venture. And now she has the Lip stuff–if that takes off, they might be in even better shape. Maybe that’s not “serious” money but to be able to live in Bev Hills for the rest of your life, not work and not worry, they must be pretty comfy.
Jeez that was a funny comeback! I haven’t belly laughed like that for a while now. Fooled by swan shit and hairless dogs! LOLOLOLOL.
Could there have been an episode left out last week if Bravo recut something..?
No this was the full and correct episode.
Thank you for clarifying that for us TT!
Ok! Thanks TT
I assumed that was planned from the beginning to push female viewers to the Olympics. In fact, I’m surprised they didn’t take 2 weeks off.
I’ve spent this whole week watching this season and Erika has stated at least 4x on different episodes that Tom hasn’t called her and the last they spoke was when she dropped him off for work the day she “left.” Now to then change the story and say he calls all the time is sus and she’s upset with Garcelle and herself for exposing that. You could even see Kyle was confused when it was said because Kyle has been the person asking if she’s heard from Tom. I want to see how the season unfolds. I think Dorit and Sutton are going to be the ones most vocal about Erikas story changing.
Exactly, she contradicts herself and gnaws on Garcelle? She needs to get her stories straight. And her saying Tom cheated? Maybe he got tired of her provocative dancing and wanted someone normal.
Yes these two are the only ones worth watching. I love Kathy & the three of them would make for an outstanding trip. Loved Kyle & Lisa forever but the Denise Richards incident is forever stuck in my head. I felt Denise was slut shamed & I can’t get past it.
I had previously liked Denise. I had watched her reality show with her dad, Sam & Lola. What bothered me about Denise was the night at the table on their trip when she was told what had been said, she started pointing her finger right away and making up shit. She claimed Brandi said she’d had sex with one of them at the table too. Then, it later came out Kim Richards is who it had been implied had a threesome w/Brandi. It broke up Kim & Brandi’s friendship because Kim got upset about it. It wasn’t anyone in that group like Denise said. First, Brandi tells everything. So if you don’t want your business told stay clear of Brandi. What’s the saying about if you hang around shit you start to smell? Second, she could’ve just said that she was not dignifying those rumors w/an answer, but I didn’t like the whole deflection & finger pointing. I live w/that. The DH gets caught, literally caught, & makes up bullshit, utter lies, to deflect. I deal with too many hypocrites in my life.
The other thing, was Denise keeping on & on about the subject matter of table conversation. She had been on camera telling about searching for and finding happy endings in massage parlors, about how big Aaron’s dick was. Then, the night at Denise’s outdoor pizza oven party she is the very one who took the conversation down that lane by bringing up that Aaron’s penis was still big with the kids at the next table. Then, schooled the other women for days/weeks about their table talk. That seemed to be Kyle’s issue because she commented something along the lines of Denise being Miss Wild Thing one time who talked about inviting a prostitute to Thanksgiving dinner with her kids, talked about Duck, etc then suddenly she’s scolding the others about their conversation content and would not bring her kids to Kyle’s dinner where kids were invited.
*dick dammit
I hate auto correct. Lol
Brandi is a SCORNED WOMAN that blames everyone for her divorce. She needs therapy because she’s always doing things to hurt someone because she’s been hurt by her creepy husband with Leanne Rhymes. I feel for Denise. She didn’t deserve what she got from Brandi or Lisa. They’re not perfect people for sure. They’re trashy. Rena doesn’t belong on the show and Brandi surely doesn’t. She’s lucky to be asked to be on there because she adds nothing worth seeing. She needs fixing so she’ll stop beating up on good people like Denise. And, Denise is beautiful to boot. Brandi not so much.
I am going to bee slammed here, but i remain steadfast on Erica’s team. There is this court of public opinion. She will not get her day in court for some time. Ok let the rants begin. I won’t read them.
No rant here. But even if she is clueless and not culpable, there was money loaned/given to her companies from the firm that should be returned so it can go to the rightful owners….the victims. Being uninformed does not make you unaccountable. (Sorry, was my sentence a triple negative?)
That will work it’s way out in court. I do not think Erika is telling the whole story but I do not believe for a second that she knew that Tom was embezzling from his clients’ escrow account. Tom’s business partners did not even know that and nothing I saw on the show indicated that Tom shared anything at all about his business with Erika.
It’s possible that she did not know. However, she knows NOW. And instead of doing the right thing and returning the money to the victims, she’s hired a massive team of lawyers and is trying her best to keep the money. That’s what I can’t get past and tells me that she isn’t a good person.
You know Lisa R did not eat even one bite of those tacos that Kathy brought.
On RHBH, if you see them chew, I get the feeling it’s fake chewing.
In comparison, on RHOP you can see the women actually eating!
That annoys the hell out of me too. It’s her job to be thin.
Thank you Tami for the plumbing tip. The plunger doesn’t always do it. So thanks for that!
Garcelle is great this season! She and Sutton have recently experienced divorce from men with money and so it’s understandable that they would quickly see the cracks in Ericka’s stories.
I don’t believe Crystal or Kathy is buying any of Ericka’s stories either and they’re choosing to stay out of it.
I liked Crystal on WWHL.
It appears Kyle, Lisa Rinna and Dorit are going to stick with their pretense of belief in Ericka.
I suppose in the 2nd half of the season we’ll see the creation of the Fox Force Five ( I can’t type this without laughing hysterically) and whether or not Ericka will appear for the reunion.
Ericka will most likely have to show up at the reunion otherwise she might not get paid !
She said on the Twatter that she will be there.
Where I live there wasn’t an episode last week. This week’s opening felt a little disjointed. Did I miss something? I get that u want to support ur girlfriends & I get that Erika can only say so much. But something smells here. The narrative of “poor uninformed Erika” just doesn’t jibe. If anything this show is a cautionary tale to its viewers – women, know what’s going on with your finances. Just because you’ve got a rich husband, it’s still up to you to know what’s going on. Or is being spoiled & blinded by the riches a better way to live? I would seriously like to know who Sutton was married to because she seems to be a VERY rich divorcée. There are doubts forming in both Sutton & Garcille. And watching Erika light into Garcille was so telling. Erika said what she said ON CAMERA; what was the big deal about Garcille repeating it? Garcielle has always been a straight shooter. All these women have been supportive so for Erika to lash out like that was, I don’t know, deflective? Personally, I think Sutton has Erika’s number here.
II think that Erika realized she said too much by saying Tom calls her everyday. Then when Garcelle brought it up to the others, she couldn’t take it back and freaked out.
One of the women mentioned that this reminded them of the Madoff scheme. Exactly – his wife lost most of her $ as well. Didn’t matter if she knew or didn’t know.
Erika was RUDE AND COLD like she’s been on the show since she started. People on the show even called her COLD. She is too reserved to be on a show like this when she knows there are no secrets that won’t get out. I think Tom was a good person and she was blessed to have a man of his wealth take her and her son in. She’s had a better life than most. She always portrayed him to be the best person in her life until now. So, what’s really going on? And the way she treated Garcelle is a disgrace. Erika has conflicting remarks about the last time she talked to Tom and now she’s saying he calls her EVERYDAY. REALLY.? She owes Garcelle a big apology. Garcelle is the most level headed of them all. I love Garcelle’s personality. She’s a trip.
I thought Erica’s face was very telling when Sutton and Dorit discussed the forensic accountants. She looked like her brain was spinning “are the forensic accountants going to find the $36 million hidden in my Swiss bank account that is under someone else name?” She thinks she is so much smarter than these women. I say she continues to throw out narratives to see which ones they believe so she can use that as her defense for Court.
I think Lisa knows a lot more than she is saying because she is so quiet. Why wasn’t she this quiet with Densie or Puppygate or all the past story lines? Why now? I still am looking for clarification to a story that Erica allegedly gave Lisa $5 million to launch her make up line.
I NEED TO READ THE COMMENTING RULES IF I WANT TO CONTINUE COMMENTING HERE.
Lol, your comment is great!
Erika has spent years having paid employees as her “friends”. From what I’ve seen from Mikey on camera, he always agrees with her and praises her. When she was showing Mikey and another employee her new rental home, they were parroting back whatever she said and reassuring her when she tentatively got into negative territory.
(It was something like she excused why the place looked half done “I need to put the art on the walls” and they reassured her “This is going to look so good!” But previously if she had made negative comments about small places or inexpensive accessories they would have been snarky right along with her.)
So now she has an inflated opinion of her own cleverness.
I’m watching LA news this morning and there was a segment during Entertainment featuring Erika. There was shade happening.
Erika did not marry Tom right out of her mother’s womb. She was a fully grown divorced single mother working as a waitress when she met Tom. This feigning ignorance is just too much.
Exactly!!!!!
It was her first time at the back, totally believe it. everyone knows her stripper pole money was not deposited in no bank to pay taxes on it🤣
I am surprised to read the comments change in support of Crystal. Bitch waited until Erika left the room to defend Garcelle. That is a sorry, weak ass move.
Garcelle is the only HW earning her paycheck.
Erika is a trainwreck.
Bravo should have hired Denise for RHOC instead of BH. Not that they care.
Good catch about Crystal! Ok, back on the shit list she goes!
Lol
Denise lives too far away from O.C., in Malibu, west of Beverly Hills. Orange County is southeast of Beverly Hills.
Malibu is 70 miles from Orange County. I just checked Google maps and at 2:45 Pacific Time, it is a 2 hour 25 minute drive ONE WAY.
I will take Denise on any franchise. I loved Denise. So much more so than these tedious monsters.
Same.
Erica is a HORRIBLE PERSON. ..nasty, mean, duplicitous, bitchy and iff the rails. Enjoy prison, beyatch
And a really bad actress…booohoooooo
It is getting to the point I do not believe anything Erika says. Even with her pared back lifestyle she has now she is still living better than most of the rest of the world. Her tears and words seem as fake as her hair.
I love Kyle’s home away from home. It has a resort type vibe where the ladies go out for crepes.
I want Rinna’s zebra print room when Kyle invites me over.
At least we get some glamour with all the (divorce) misery.
IMHO, Erika should have gotten a new boyfriend and gone (or at least pretended), go to work shoring up her “businesses.” THAT WAY, she could have steadfastly refused to discuss the Tom situation and only talk superficially about the divorce but still had a storyline for the show because she is digging herself a DEEP hole full of lies and contradictions that will only yield trouble for her in the ongoing litigation surrounding Tom. She should have just STFU about it all.
It was definitely an interesting episode last night. As for Erika freaking out about Garcelle bringing up that Tom calls her — SHE WAS ON CAMERA WHEN SHE WAS TELLING GARCELLE & CRYSTAL ABOUT IT! Jesus, just based on her temper and her pathetic acting skills, I hope she pays the consequences for what was done. By the way, who do you think leaked it to the press that Tom had been hospitalized earlier in the year? Seemed odd that Erika tells the women about it one night & the next day the press has the info. My guess is that Erika leaked it because she’s trying so hard to push the Tom hurt his head and now has dementia excuse.
I had started to dislike Sutton but she’s winning me over again. Still dislike Rinna from her behavior toward Denise last season. Kathy makes me laugh, but is she really that ditzy or is it an act? I’m waiting for Kyle to wake up and distance herself from Erika.
Maybe this has been brought up before, but is it possible that the Feds could subpeona Bravo (if they haven’t already) for any of their Erika footage, including unaired content? I have to imagine that either in her one-on-ones, or in any other scenes, she was running her mouth and spilled the beans about something she should not have. I’m sure that in her quest for sympathy she’d blab about things that she’d said or did about their estate/finances. Also, her commenting that she had never been to a bank, or whatever her words were, seems like she is trying to set a precedent of, “oh, I’m so naive. How could I possibly know anything about what my husband was doing”
Maybe she’s a mafia wife, “don’t ask me about my business.” Not sure about feds but with the bankruptcy case, show stuff will be admissible. I’m sure the feds are deep in discovery to see how far they can go with her. I’d be curious to see how they will choose to play this case, make Tom the kingpin and let her pay the bill or charge her. They don’t always charge the wife though, look at Ruth Madoff. Will be quite the tale for years to come!
I actually had a twinge for Tom. If I believe Erika, (and I don’t), how awful for her to completely cut him off without a conversation. If he IS sick, after 20 years, shouldn’t she answer at least one phone call? When whoever asked Erika if she spoke to Tom, Erika said, “No, no , no , no ….” so many times I knew it was a lie! She is killing her case, not helping it. Fascinating TV.
It truly shows she was in it for the money and not love.
He husband is leaving her messages saying how much he misses her and to please come home.
But she tells her lawyers to tell his lawyers to tell him not to call her because of the legal situation.
Why can’t you talk to him? Oh, because of the legal situation, not because of the divorce. But you didn’t move out because of the legal situation. Hmm, wait? What am I missing?
Reminds me of Laurel and Hardy. Who’s on first? What’s on second? I don’t know. No, he’s on home plate.
That was Abbott and Costello! I loved watching them in old movies when I was a kid!
Oops! Thank you!
Tamara Tattles today is…M.E.O.W I love you all.
Waited 2 weeks for this one. Kathy’s stories are odd but other things about her I like. I do appreciate her down home shopping clothes and I totally get the chia seed thing. I have to drink my protein and chia seeds daily to keep my blood sugar level so del taco can be an option later🤣 The erika stuff, I think she is super confused about him, hate to love we’re watching it all happen. Sure she’s setting up her case, but still that guttural cry to me is real. She knows she will be liable, her image forever tarnish, erica Jayne let’s face it, is was a good run!
I just love all the comments here!!! The Tamara Tattle community is my fave place to be. So nice to forget my real life and dive into others!! Erika knew and is a terrible actress about it. Agree with the manor born comment. So classic. And yes Garcelle and Sutton are way too good for these clowns. And Kathy is here I think to mock her little sister and I am HERE for it
Glad you are here! I don’t know how I got such a great bunch of regulars here, but I love their comments so much. They are WAY better than my recaps, especially during the pandemic where I am sort of losing my mind. 🙂 Stick around!
Seems like Erika is going for the insanity or dementia defense herself. She cant keep her stories straight.
Where is the OWN IT coming from the minion crew that was so happy to give that attitude to LVP and Denise Richards??
I wish Kyle could be let go. Sutton and are the only ones worth watching.
Kathy Hilton, seems to be acting a part.
Used Garcelle
What kind of person leaves because their spouse develops Alzheimer’s?!? It’s either a convoluted story (shitty) or proves she’s a shitty person for leaving someone who needs professional care.
Erika can’t even acknowledge the victims. But if Tom still had money she would never leave him.
Am I crazy or did Erica say (about two episodes ago) she hasn’t heard or spoken to Tom since she dropped him off at work, the day she left him.
I remember her saying, ‘he never even called to see where I was’.
She can’t use an ATM card? Doesn’t know HOW TO MAKE A DEPOSIT TO A BANK? Bitch, FOH. We learned that in high school.
I totally agree. She left bec the money either ran out or was about to be attached.
I just really want to know why Rinna is so quiet and tight lipped around Erika. I truly don’t get it.
Curious to see if that continues the rest of the season.
1. As someone who wore a necklace that said “[email protected]”, she sure is living up to that.
2. She DID say her mom took her to a bank when she was a kid and would sit in the car and make her go in herself. So she’s a liar.
3. Her whole utter explosion towards Garcelle proves that this is all an act she is putting on.
4. Why doesn’t her mascara run anymore?
She makes me sick. She is EVERY SINGLE THING that women don’t want to be. She is a disgusting, vile, arrogant narcissist and I doubt she will go to jail but I sure hope she ends up broke slinging drinks again.
No, she won’t. She’ll find another rich sucker to marry her.
Someone please explain to me how in the world of RHOBH last season, they were gung ho to find out woh Denise Richards was knocking down in her bedroom but this season, they have a scammer, liar & thief allegedly amongst them and none of them are “digging” to get to the bottom of it ? These women are FOS and thank G for Sutton & Garcelle who see Erika for what & who see is. Lisa Rinna & Dorit are vile & vapid human beings so I’m not surprised but I’m shocked at Kyle acting the way she is. I wonder if Mauricio’s lawsuit has been settled ? You know the one where he was sued by the President of Equitorial Guinea’s son. I hope the victims get every cent they’re owed plus extra, I pray Erika and Tom end up underneath the prison.
Oh SNAP!! Look at Lisa Rina’s twitter!! Holy shitballs!! This is getting gooood. I didn’t know what Tamara was referring to about the production of the Erika/Garcelle/Crystal conversation. Now it makes sense!! Geez, this is juicy.
YUP read on Twitter Richards implied that housewives will be sequestered!! Hmm Sutton is one of the brightest in the the rest are ???
Erika came for Garcelle for sharing the info to the other ladies, after telling the details herself in front of tv cameras and production team..le sigh.
Erika is a terrible liar! She acts like she was plucked out of obscurity the moment she turned 18 by Tom. Wrong. We know she worked as a dancer, a waitress, and a sometime actress long before she met Tom. This woman knows how to handle her own money!
I think Erika went off on Garcelle because it was at that precise moment she realized she was out of her depth trying to concoct a story that would protect her. She should have sat this season out, but as is the case with most Real Housewives, she was arrogant.
She needed the money. She left because of Tom’s doings, and won’t talk to him so she can’t be implicated. She should have sat the season out. This is very interesting.
I now find Erika scary. Her attitude towards Sutton on the previews are not elegant.
Erica should take some if her $$ and use it for acting lessons. She is the biggest phony I’ve ever seen. Her biggest accomplishment on the show so far was flashing her twat to the househusbands so often that Dorit took pity and bought her some La Perla panties. Her acting is pathetic and laughable.
My mamma used the word “twat” and it still cracks me up to this day.
Yes … not a very nice word. I should have said “flashing her kitty”.
I thought it was funny. I used that word the last time I visited my sister. She cracked up.
No, she won’t. She’ll find another rich sucker to marry her.
