She navigated a series of questions from her RHOBH co-stars about alleged funds she received from her estranged husband Tom Girardi's law firm. *“I wake up, and I go, ‘This is really happening. All of this is really happening in real-time.’ I mean, I’m so tired and so overwhelmed, and everything happens day to day,”* Erika told her c0stars on Wednesday’s episode.* “And there’s more coming. I’m far from done.”* Sutton Stracke stirred the pot when she asked whether Erika was *“truly blindsided”* by Tom’s alleged actions or if she knew about the crimes before the news made headlines. *“I don’t have access to lawsuits before they hit [the] press,”* Erika replied. Things intensified when the ladies forced Sutton to admit that she invited them over to discuss Erika's case earlier in the week. *“You guys, are you really that afraid of me?”* Erika asked the ladies, including Dorit Kemsley, Lisa Rinna, Garcelle Beauvais, Crystal Minkoff, Kathy Hilton, Kyle Richards, and former Housewife Teddi Mellencamp. Sutton then brought up the *“$20 million elephant in the room,”* asking Erika, *“Why is the paper saying that $20 million went into your LLC?”* *“The obvious question is, ‘Did you know any of this?’ … As your friend, I don’t think you did,”* Kyle said. *“Everybody was like, ‘Do you know where that money is coming from? Is that a loan? Is that over time?’ That was the biggest question.”* Erika played coy, saying, *“That is another question that we will uncover as well.”* When Sutton continued to push, the singer claimed, *“I was kept away from the books.”* After Sutton noted that would make her *“insane,”* Erika agreed, *“It did.”* She added, *“No one knows the answer but him.”* Lisa then questioned, *“Where does $80 million go,”* Erika said,* “Explain that to me. … That’s a question that only he can answer.”* Dorit chimed in and tried to smooth things over by saying that the group believes in Erika’s *“innocence,”* to which Erika noted, *“I haven’t been accused of anything.”* The Beverly Beach designer replied, *“It’s a matter of what you knew and if you were complicit.”* *“Those words are not cool,”* Erika fired back. *“It’s not nice to repeat it because you know it’s not true.”* *“Have you had any kind of discussions with attorneys about the story? … How to navigate through it?”* Sutton asked. Erika replied, *“No.”* *“I don’t know if you knew or not. My sister had a kidney transplant, and it went wrong. She had a lawyer; she was supposed to be awarded money,”* Garcelle said. *“So if what Tom did is absolutely true, then f—k Tom because I know personally what it feels like for someone who is waiting for their compensation for something they went through.”* Erika then acknowledged that allegations in the lawsuit are *“terrible.”* *“He will have to pay a price for that if, in fact, that’s what happened. I think what has happened to Tom here is he is not mentally capable, and he is in sole control of his firm, and I think that it got away from him. I think we are dealing with a man who is diminished capacity, in control, and not doing the right thing. Because if he stole the money, I’d like to know where it is. That’s the truth,”* she said. *“The victims need to be taken care of. … I’m not worried about me. I’m last in all of this. Those people are owed their money, but we need to see what this man did,”* Erika added. The *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills *airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. ## Thoughts on this all?
