Erika admitted she has known she and Tom have had money problems since she was served for this particular lawsuit discussed at last night's reunion.
January 22, 2019: ‘RHOBH’ Star Erika Jayne’s Husband Slapped With $15 Million Lawsuit, Accused of Using Loans to Fund Lavish Lifestyle (https://theblast.com/c/rhobh-erika-jayne-husband-loan-lawsuit/)
Thus, it's been at nearly 3 years that Erika began consulting with other attorneys and socking away money. All this time she knew her entire life with Tom has been a lie and yet her behavior this season is nothing less than gross!

She's said that. Earlier in the season she said that it was Yolanda talking about the end of her marriage that prompted her to check Tom's phone and realize he was cheating on her, and that at that point she started preparing to leave him. What exactly is the issue there? People think she should have gone on TV and talked about how bad her marriage was and how she was preparing to leave once she put money away and that in response to that Tom would not block her from putting money away?

A lot of what Erika was talking about in this episode was her emotional response to the whole thing. What is there to lie about in that? And how would anyone else know if she was actually feeling something else? I have my own thoughts about the phony golddigger, it's fine if you believe her, she thinks she's sharon stone with her dress up to her naval. You believe she gave her paycheck to Tom? Imho I think that's gullible..she's not some trapped wife, looking after two or three children. She got what she wanted and left Tom ..no accident(s) were reported.. I wasn't that moved by Kathy and Kyle, it's obvious their mother did a number on all three girls Crystal doesn't look like she believes Erika, but that's up to her and her own paycheck. Don't even get me started on what Erika is wearing. Its not just the hideously inappropriate dress, it's also the shoes she is wearing with the dress! Who the heck is she dressing for?

Acooker. I am talking about Erika being aware that she and Tom were living off stolen clients money. You're saying Erika has been socking away stolen clients money since season 6 when Yolanda and David's marriage came to an end? Interesting concept. This would also mean that is could very well be Erika's GREED that led to the toppling over of Girardi Keese. It was, after all, about that time that Tom and Erika borrowed the 15 million that led to the both of them publicly being sued in January 2019.

The cross instead of cu **y necklace..she dresses like a hooker.

One would think EJ would be getting advice to try to soften her image, to pretend to care about her victims, and try to elicit some empathy whilst in the leadup to her ruinous legal proceedings. Yet she barks such defiant and dismissive responses in a cold staccato tone that would turn off most observers, even those who didn't know a thing about her legal troubles. Soft and fuzzy, even just put on for effect, doesn't seem possible for her. The very few times she has tried to shed a crocodile tear, oh so briefly, for those victims, cheated and stolen from, have come across as phony and disingenuous. She's not much of an actor!
I don't believe for a minute she turned her BRAVO checks over to Tom. She's trying to turn "victimhood" on herself instead of the genuine victims in this case and I'm not buying it. I'm not buying anything this grifter is selling! Including the Tom "dementia" fraud.
And, yeah, it looks like the cheap vodka is getting to her looks. Sorry, not sorry. That ripped off burn victim lives about 5 miles from me and I'm on his team. You all can make excuses for her if you think her gaudy clothes and baubles are deserved over court assigned damages he was rewarded for lifelong injuries. But I haven't heard a case in her favor yet.

I have a very hard time believing that with as much as some are believing everything that comes out of Erikas mouth is a lie, that if she suddenly became a conservative, demure, emotional woman (like Sutton essentially) that those detractors would cheer her on. She’s acting like she always has and is being called a liar putting up an act. If she did a total about face, THAT you’d believe?

No, I've never believed her. I'm just saying I'm surprised she's not toning down the well cultivated "ice queen" persona for a more sympathetic imposture.

I think that would damage things more. Such an about face would be interpreted as admitting guilt.

It doesn't matter what she does. Erika could become a nun and she would still be called a hooker.

I do too. No one is calling Britney Spears a hooker and she is putting way more of her body out there on instagram. I find it interesting in this day and age, especially with the Me Too movement and all, that our go to is to still belittle women just for being proud of their bodies. Go Britney. Go Erika.

My daughter and stepdaughter are the same age as Erika..they'd never wear a skating outfit like that anywhere. Of course people have said Brittney dresses like a hooker , they say it about Kim Kardashian.Me too, has nothing to do with thinking some women look like hookers in what they choose to wear. They wear some clothes to get a reaction..good or bad. They shouldn't care, why should we?

Erika is a tone deaf narcissist. She is not showing empathy because she doesn't feel any for those that her lifestyle has victimized. Instead, she behaves entitled. Housewife fans are disgusted. Attorneys are disgusted. Erika's behavior is gross! Is Erika a victim? Yes, but she's a victim who victimizes. Comparing Erika to Britney Spears is gross, too.

It's ok if you don't understand the analogy. But it's not gross. Thank you for your opinion though

Absent all the conjecture about what Erika knew and when did she know it, what I see on episodes is a worthless, selfish, angry narcissist with a glutton’s appetite for fame and money. Apparently nothing else matters; not even self respect- and it’s all everyone else’s fault. She lied on RH about her marriage for what, five long years - ? and NOW wants people to believe everything she says. Socking away money and living off what she thought (yeah, sure) was loans to finance her losing career, as if that’s a strategy for a successful life.
But she is entertaining - her staccato monotone blurts are truly laughable.

Lets go back to the basics. Deciding that your life is interesting enough to put on TV is narcissistic. This is true of every single woman who goes on the show. You could call each franchise "The Real Narcissists of ________". Anyone who tunes in accepts that as a trait they are embracing.

Every other cast member has communicated disgust, concern, or at minimum disappointment, at Erika's refusal to express empathy for the clients she and Tom's over the top lifestyle have victimized. Instead, she complains of Tom is being villainized and how dare people hold her accountable for her bad decisions! That is narcissism.
Instead of acknowledging Erika lack of empathy as problematic, accuse other cast members' behavior as gross as Erika's? Seriously? No! Erika stands alone!

I don’t accept that every HW has narcissistic traits; nor am I comfortable speaking for everyone who watches these shows. Not diagnosing for NPD either; but I’m not a doctor. I have said Ericka acts like a narcissistic sociopath though, just IMHO. She does stand alone.
