Well, the ^^^ twisted-truth article is dated "September 15, 2020". So that's why her crap isn't selling on QVC. I have never heard of Edie Parker Network. That's because the Edie Parker Network doesn't exist.

Maybe but maybe not for something is up because Erika's demotion rumor didn't come from nowhere and both deleted Bravo and RHOBH from their social media bios. What I also found interesting on social media, overwhelmingly show fans expressed delight at the prospect of one or the other, or both, being demoted or leaving --- just as it happened when Teddi announced her firing. It could be no one has ever thought well of Teddi, but Erika and Rinna use to be liked.

We will find out soon enough. Us certainly has good contacts in Bravo PR so I tend to doubt they’d put themselves out there without reason. The same can’t be said for all blog sites. You’re right that the rumor came from somewhere. But if all rumors came from truth, Jennifer Anniston would have about 24 kids by now.

Was very surprised to see the headline. It would not surprise me at all if she’s got another man. Why else file? They gave each other great companionship but she led her own life. So to me the only reason to walk away is if she’s met someone else ... unless his will is written to leave most of his money to people other that Erica and she wants to take care of herself financially.

There was something a short while back (a month ago?) from Camille or someone else in the orbit who said a BH Housewife divorce was about to drop and, suddenly, we saw the return of chitchat speculating Mauricio's cheating and Harry having a gay boyfriend on the side. Some pointed to Erika and Tom's marriage as possibly on the rocks. Erika comes off as fiercely loyal and I strongly doubt she would have anyone on the side. Thus, I suspect either he does or there could be issues concerning money or assets. Certainly we'll find out.

I have a friend who mentioned the lawsuits that Tom is dealing with, and how this could play in to it all. With the size of their house, it would not surprise me at all if it was revealed that post-divorce Erica continued to live in the house too ... that it was more about financial protection than anything else. Tom would certainly know those loopholes.

Tom was seen with another woman, which was quickly shut down, but it wouldn't surpise me, if they lived very seperate lives. She wants to make it big on Broadway and she doesn't need Tom for that..

Ok. I figured out where the rumors of one of the married BH's housewives divorcing came from.
Approximately two weeks ago from Dana Wilkey (the RHOBH guest with the $25,000 Luxuriator sunglasses). Yesterday, Dana speculated as to why on Instagram.
"Well, I think Erika knows the financial sh*t going to hit the fan soon on Tom and I think that she's trying to get a piece of their life they built together because I'm sure she's so worn out from the 21 years of being the wife of a high powered attorney, it's just really challenging, I'm, sure."
That makes it about money. Tom can't afford her anymore and she's jumping ship. Honestly, that surprises me, but then it doesn't because we've learned she isn't really who she has pretended to be.

I don't interpret that as being about Tom not being able to afford her - I interpret that as being about liability. If Tom is facing financial losses and they are married, she's liable in many cases. If they are divorced, she's protected. I've heard of wealthy couples before who make decisions on marriage and divorce for tax liabilities and other financial issues. The relationship remains the same - but they alter legal status to be the best option for them financially.
If this were about Tom not being able to afford her anymore, I think it would be Tom filing, not Erika.

Didn't we see the huge amount he was paying out, to keep her all those clothes and the group that always ( always) travels with her. She's an expensive item! Now we know the real reason Tom never went to see her in Chicago.

But again, if the reason for their divorce was all the money Tom was paying out, why was Erika the one to file? She asked for a bigger plane and he said no? Divorcing him is only going to make that harder to get.

Tom is probably in a lot of debt! Plus, all the spending they both do (and her glam team)...would not surprise me if that's the reason. Who knows...

People like Girardi have billions of dollars stashed. She'll get a huge settlement. But it is sad. For her - or for him - or maybe for both. They were together for a very long time.

Perhaps they were both happy with the arrangement, he had his arm candy, she had what she had..none of know really, and I doubt we ever will. Happiness to them both..

If you know about the apartment because Erica did an interview and photo shoot about it, then it's really not about fooling us, is it? I don't find it odd at all to have an apartment in the city - I think there are many people who can afford to do so that do the same thing. There are wealthy people in New York who have a house in the Hamptons or another place outside the city, and an apartment in the city. I've heard of others who are not even uber wealthy that live in the suburbs but will buy a small place in the city they live in so that when spending a lot of time downtown they can be comfortable without having to commute. Sounds to me like that's what Erica did her. I think that for a long time Erica and Tom have had an untraditional marriage that works for them. I don't think she's ever pretended anything else. She's opened up more about her life in general recently, and that included sharing that a sex life with an 80 year old husband is not the same as that with a 50 year old husband. The more I read, the more I'm convinced that their divorce is more about a business move protecting assets than anything else.

Fooled us by pretending to be humble and decent. Given Erika's behavior on the show of recent, we know that's not true.
If you read various articles peppered throughout the internet, Erika's the most talented and popular Real Housewife of Beverley Hills. Where did those publications come from, for we all know what they are saying isn't true.
I absolutely agree Erika and Tom had a deal that ended three or four years ago and for that, I don't judge.

What about the person Erika has presented on RH has been humble? To me, she’s been a great housewife because her ego is so big and her confidence so high that nothing phases her. I realize people see people differently. But to be, describing anything about Erika as humble is kind of like describing Danny DeVito as tall.

Erika Girardi began Housewives very differently. The woman you're describing is Erika's alter ego, cabaret performer Erika Jayne.
I really liked the earlier Erika Giradi, but she doesn't seem to exist anymore. Maybe she never did. Perhaps she's always been the obnoxious, rude, phony persona. I mean, what do we really know about her anyway, other than for a time she worked as a waitress at Chasen's, propositioned and eventually married a rich, powerful attorney, and gave birth to a son she never raised?
You may very well be right about Erika committing fraud to save Tom's assets. That's really what it is if that's what the divorce is all about.
