RHOBH star Erika Jayne says “f–k you” to Mad Men actor Jon Hamm after he urged her to return $750K diamond earrings.
More than a year after Bravo fan Jon Hamm urged Erika Jayne to return the $750k diamond earrings purchased by her estranged husband, Tom Girardi, with allegedly stolen settlement funds, the RHOBH star is clapping back.
“I have my appeal. And that’s, you know — like, Jon Hamm, you know. ‘They never were yours.’ F–k you,” Erika Jayne said on Monday’s episode of the “No Filter with Zack Peter” podcast. “I won on appeal.”
The RHOBH star then called out John for discussing her personal life, which is quite odd since she shares her life on reality TV and the diamond earrings drama was a storyline on the show.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about. You know, ‘Those were never yours.’ Really?” she continued. “Appellate judge said they were — or at least said you can’t prove that they weren’t. So that made me happy.”
Back in September of 2022, John Hamm appeared on Howard Stern’s Sirius XM radio show, where the two discussed Real Housewives and which franchises they each enjoy. As both men are fans of RHOBH, Stern asked Hamm the million-dollar question: “Should Erika Jayne give back the earrings?”
“YES, she should,” Hamm exclaimed before elaborating.
“The circular argument that she’s not responsible. You just want to shake her and go, ‘Honey, they were never yours. Give them back,’” Hamm quipped. “Then I can’t quite get are they $750,000 earrings or is it $750,000 per earring.”
“Give ’em back,” he noted.
In July 2023, Erika Jayne won her appeal over the sale of her $750k diamond earrings.
“Erika [Jayne] wins appeal over auctioned earrings,” legal analyst Emily Baker announced on Twitter.
She continued, “The Court agreed with Erika that the earrings were not the bankruptcy estate’s property and, therefore, shouldn’t have been turned over to the bankruptcy trustee.”
The earrings were auctioned off in December 2022, after Erika turned them over to the court in June 2022, as part of Tom Girardi’s ongoing bankruptcy case. The once-famed attorney is accused of embezzling millions from his clients via their settlement money.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star appealed the auction, claiming that the earrings were taken from her unlawfully.
As for what happens next, it seems that Erika may not be getting her diamond earrings back but will instead get the proceeds from the December 2022 auction. The earrings went for $250k. Not sure Erika will be happy with that.
RHOBH airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
