The Beverly Hills Housewives watched Erika Jayne’s divorce drama play out day by day as they filmed season 11 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. 

As the season airs on Bravo, we are seeing the RHOBH cast react to all the gossip, rumors, and drama surrounding Erika and Tom Girardi’s divorce and legal drama in real-time.

Erika has been opening up little by little about her split from Tom and their legal woes, and so far, the RHOBH cast hasn’t pushed her too much for answers. Unlike past dramas on the franchise, the ladies are tip-toeing around Erika and treading lightly on poking her too much for answers.

This is something that many fans aren’t happy about. In fact, many RHOBH fans find it “hypocritical” that the Beverly Hills Housewives are treating Erika with kid-gloves.

All of this was addressed in a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. RHOBH stars Crystal Minkoff and Kathy Hilton were guests in the Bravo Clubhouse while their OG co-starKyle Richards sat in the audience.

Andy asked Kathy and Crystal whether or not they believe Erika’s explanation about her divorce before addressing fans’ issues with Lisa Rinna’s treatment of Erika.

Both ladies admitted that they believed Erika was truthful about her split from Tom.

Crystal explained, “When she told us about her divorce, I had only met her two weeks into that, so of course I believed [her] at face value.”

“And I had only met her when I had a birthday party for Kyle at my house – it was just like 16 girls, like 2 years ago. She was very polite and quiet and lovely, and I put her at our table cause I felt like I didn’t know her. So, I just don’t know. I believe she’s telling the truth,” Kathy noted. 

The WWHL host then turned his attention to Kyle and asked her about Rinna going so easy on Erika, considering how hard she was on Lisa Vanderpump for Puppygate and Denise Richards amid allegations she slept with Brandi Glanville.

“Kyle, I have to bring you into this because you’re the one who’s been there the last few seasons. A lot of viewers are commenting that they find it hypocritical that Rinna for the last two seasons brought up Puppygate and Denise’s  alleged tryst, but with Erika, she wants to give her space,” he said, before asking, “What’s your reaction to that?”

Kyle replied, “First of all, this was six months ago, even longer may be, so we were just getting information as it was unfolding, and we still don’t know everything. And to be fair, Rinna is a lot closer with Erika than she was with Denise.”

“But we didn’t know anything, and we still don’t really know what’s going on,” she added.

However, it seems that Kyle’s response only further infuriated some fans.

One fan commented on Twitter saying, “Kyle saying Lisa Rinna was closer to Erika than she was to Denise made me scream. Lisa was best friends with Denise for YEARS. She only met Erika from the show, and they never even seemed particularly close. The DELUSION.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Addressing the rumors!

Erika Jayne breaks her silence on all the gossip and speculation surrounding her split from her estranged husband, Tom Girardi.

In a preview of what’s to come on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Erika addresses accusations she tried to hide assets amid her divorce.

“That lawsuit that says my divorce is a sham so I could hide assets — people want to believe that,” Erika said.

In another scene, the singer told c0-star Lisa Rinna, “What’s being said is just, I mean, it’s insane.”

She then was seen getting emotional over her legal issues during a conversation with Kyle Richards.

“I mean, I could have never predicted this f–king s–t,” she told Kyle before adding, “This is the end.”

In December 2020, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Tom and Erika, claiming their split was “simply a sham attempt to fraudulently protect [their] money from those that seek to collect on debts owed by Tom and his law firm GK.”

This came a month after Erika filed for divorce from Tom in November 2020 following 21 years of marriage.

“After much consideration, I have decided to end my marriage to Tom Girardi,” Erika said in a statement at the time. “This is not a step taken lightly or easily. I have great love and respect for Tom and for our years and the lives we built together.”

Meanwhile, rumors about Erika’s sham divorce aren’t the only gossip plaguing the Beverly Hills Housewife.

Erika is also tackling rumors linking her to Scooter Braun and Gleb Savchenko. She calls the rumors “silly as f–k.”

Over the last several months, there’s been speculation that Erika had affairs with both Scooter and Gleb while married to Tom.

Erika and Scooter met years ago at a political event, according to Page Six, while Erika competed on Season 24 of “DWTS” in 2017 with Gleb.

The RHOBH star addressed the claims while chatting with co-stars Lisa Rinna and Garcelle Beauvais.

“OK, Scooter Braun. What’s happening with him? Were you in a sex shop?” Garcelle asked to which Erika replied, “No.”

In another scene, Erika laughed off reports she “was seeing my old ‘Dancing with the Stars’ partner [Savchenko], and then I was seeing Scooter Braun.”

“I haven’t seen either one of them in four and a half, five years,” she told Rinna. “It’s silly as f–k.”

As for Gleb, he also denies having an affair with Erika, telling Page Six, “Erika and I had a strictly professional working relationship. Erika was such an awesome dance partner. She’s a hard-working, strong woman, and it saddens me that there are rumors circulating about her which have no truth behind them.”

Oddly enough, Scooter recently split from his wife, Yael Cohen. The two have been married since 2014. A source denies that Scooter and Erika ever had any relationship and noted that the music mogul is happy the rumors are being put to bed.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
