Dishing the dirt!

Erika Jayne mentions it all on the May 17 episode of Us Weekly’s Getting Real with the Housewives podcast.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star isn’t holding back with dishing on her hot and cold relationships with co-stars Sutton Stracke and Garcelle Beauvais.

The Pretty Mess singer reacts “upsetting” friendship woes with Garcelle. The actress unfollowed Erika on Instagram while filming season 12 of RHOBH. Garcelle later made a shady quip about Erika saying, “I don’t have to make you look bad, you can do that on your own,” while promoting her book, Love Me As I Am.

“When [Garcelle] came to the group, I was really excited, and she even said, ‘Erika was the most welcoming,’” Erika confessed. “It’s upsetting to see that Garcelle is resistant to what I’ve been trying to say and has gone the other way, and that’s her opinion, and she has every right to do that, but I have every right to feel how I feel about it.”

When it comes to Garcelle’s comment about Erika looking bad, Erika said, “I was just asking her if it would be convenient for her to say, ‘Erika has a problem.’”

Meanwhile, Erika addressed Sutton’s “golddigger” diss in a separate interview. During a recent episode of RHOBH, Sutton claimed Erika was searching for a sugar daddy while insisting she didn’t need to date rich men because she’s wealthy enough on her own.

“Good for her. I don’t either. And if that’s what I wanted to do, I would and would have already done it. Believe me; I’ve been offered. But that’s not where I’m at in life, to be perfectly honest,” Erika told E! News.

As for her dating life, Erika said, “I’m available.”

“I’m just getting back out there; it’s awkward. Hook me up. I’m not on dating apps because I’m afraid of strangers, so it has to be somebody who knows somebody,” she added.

Pulling out the receipts!

After her battle with Sutton Stracke on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa Rinna shares receipts over who paid for her and Harry Hamlin’s seats at Elton John’s charity event.

The actress turned reality TV star shared emails between Harry’s team and Elton John’s charity organizers, which detail Harry and Lisa’s plans to attend the event.

In the messages, Harry’s team details how the Hollywood couple is working with IMDB and will appear on the website’s Live Stream of the charity event.

The rep for Elton John’s charity said, “I just heard that the woman who originally invited Lisa and Harry to her table is now no longer taking a table, she is just taking three seats, and they are not on her list. Just wanted to make you aware.”

She continued, “The invite came from Sutton Stracke; she was going to have a table but no longer purchasing. I am trying to find two seats as we are at capacity. I am even asking IMDB since they were interested in them for the show. Stand by.”

Harry’s publicist then forwarded the message, adding: “thanks to Sutton, they’re now scrambling for a pair of seats on Sunday ;/ Unsure if you’re already aware, but will let you know how it all pans out.”

Sutton previously claimed that she purchased tickets for Lisa and Harry to attend Elton John’s charity event and never received a ‘thank you’ from the couple.

The fashionista claimed victory when she shared emails between her and the rep from Elton John’s foundation. Sutton gave the rep her American Express information to buy Lisa and Harry’s tickets in the email.

However, Lisa insists she and Harry never received the tickets and that they have “gone to the fabulous Elton John Oscar party for years.”

The former soap star shared more receipts which alleged that Harry sent to Sutton to tell her to stop spreading lies. She also called Sutton’s email receipts “tacky” and “classless.”

Sutton has yet to respond to Lisa’s “receipts.”

Meghan McCain’s bond with Erika Jayne has only intensified over the years.

The former host of The View recently revealed that she and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star special connection; noting that Erika is her “personal friend for real.”

“We text and FaceTime,” Meghan told Carlos King on his podcast, Reality With the King. “She’s a wonderful person. I know everything everyone has to say — I know everything — and I don’t care what haters have to say. She came on The View and performed on my birthday.”

“She’s a wonderful person. Had the pandemic not gone on, she was going to perform at my baby shower,” she added. “She’s one of the first people I told I was pregnant! She’s a lovely person.”

Meghan went on to explain that she and Erika “bond over being hated.”

“She knows what it feels like to have the world feel you’re, whatever — crazy dismissive and things,” Meghan continued. “I adore her. Like I said, she has such a good heart. I knew s— was coming down with her before the press did; she was candid with me. We’re real friends. I will ride for her forever.”

The Bad Republican author touched upon Erika’s legal woes saying, “There hasn’t been a trial. She hasn’t been charged.”

Shortly after filing for divorce in November 2021, Erika and her estranged husband Tom Girardi were slapped with a lawsuit claiming they embezzled money from the families of Boeing plane crash victims. Erika has denied any involvement in Tom’s alleged legal schemes.

Meghan went on to share her feelings about Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah’s legal drama. She admits she finds the reaction to Jen’s legal drama to be  “very, very hypocritical”  compared to how fans have treated Erika amid her legal troubles.

In March 2021, Jen was arrested for her alleged involvement in a nationwide telemarketing scheme. She pleaded not guilty and will head to trial in July 2022.

“Jen Shah is allowed to just traipse around, do a reunion where I didn’t think her feet were held to the fire in the way that she should have,” Meghan said.

“She’s going to the New York District Court attorney,” she continued. “I actually texted one of my girlfriends who works for Fox News and she’s a lawyer, and she’s like, ‘These charges against Jen Shah are no joke.’ She was like, ‘It’s absolutely no joke. The level that it’s rising to, and if these people were involved…’ — you can’t obviously convict anyone until there’s been a jury, but it’s bad. It’s very, very, very bad. And I felt like the media and the fans have really given Jen Shah a pass.”

Meghan believes Erika was given more “intense scrutiny” by the public and Bravo fans than Jen.

“I thought that was kind of bulls—,” she admitted.

To conclude, Meghan defended Erika and gushed over how fantastic she is which seems to get overlooked by Bravo fans.

Wednesday’s episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was pretty damn dull, if you ask me, except for a few strategically placed scenes that livened things up.

The morning after Crystal Minkoff stormed out of Kyle Richards’ Palm Springs home, several of the ladies rehash the drama at the scene of the crime.

Kyle, Garcelle Beauvais, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, and Lisa Rinna all sit around drinking blood marys and mimosas, trying to figure out what triggered Crystal the night before. If you recall, Crystal said the group wasn’t a “safe space” for her to express her feelings. While the ladies are stills stumped by Crystal, Garcelle decides to take matters into her own hands and calls Crystal, who is staying at a hotel in Palm Springs. She asks Crystal to come by to talk, and Crystal obliges.

Before Crystal arrives, the ladies begin to talk about the drama they faced with Erika last year in this very spot. Erika says she was in “shambles” last year as her estranged husband Tom Girarid’s legal and financial woes came to light. She tells the ladies, “Thank you for accepting me for the wild animal that I was.”

Garcelle quickly notes that the ladies were so tough on her because she didn’t show compassion for Tom’s alleged victims. Erika fires back that because of the lawsuits, she couldn’t do that as it could be used against her in court.

The Pretty Mess singer then drops the ultimate doozy: “We’re not even sure that there were people that weren’t paid.”

She adds: “This thing is a long way from over, and there is still a lot of investigating that needs to be done, and we don’t have all the facts yet.”

None of the ladies seems to be buying this, with Garcelle saying, “Come on!”

Erika is saved from further peppering by Crystal, who shows up to chat with the ladies.

Crystal jumps right in and says that she blew up the night before because no one respected her feelings last season when she said that Sutton Stracke violated her by walking into her bedroom unannounced while she was naked.

The ladies still don’t seem to get it. In her confessional, Dorit quips: “Saying you don’t feel like you’re in a safe space because a group of adult women don’t agree with you? Sweetheart, this is a vacation compared to what I went through.”

However, the most shocking attack comes from Garcelle, who is determined to bring up Sutton and Crystal’s drama from Aspen, even though Crystal doesn’t want to rehash it.

Garcelle says she felt Crystal’s “Are you really that girl?” comment to Sutton was a setup and that no matter what Sutton said, that was going to be Crystal’s response. Cyrstal denies the accusation and hints that Sutton said some “dark” things that promoted her response but refused to say what those things are. Naturally, this frustrates the group.

The mounting tension is broken when Garcelle tells the group her son Oliver got a job with their former friend and co-star Lisa Vanderpump. The ladies all breakdown into various fits of laughter and shock, which was indeed a sight to be seen.

Meanwhile, the Crystal drama is over just yet. Once again, it rears its ugly head at Sutton’s party after Kyle and Garcelle tell the hostess that Crystal was talking about her. When Sutton hears what Cyrstal said, she replies by saying she just wants to move on from last year. Kyle is shocked and doesn’t buy it – she believes that Sutton is trying to cover up something that she doesn’t want to come to light.

The ladies, sans Erika, who declined an invite to the party, and Lisa, who is in Oregon taking care of her mom Lois following a massive stroke, confront Crystal and insist she reveals what Sutton said. Oddly enough, neither Sutton nor Crystal seem to care about this old drama; the rest of the group can’t seem to move on from it or Crystal’s choice of words.

Last year, the ladies didn’t like that she used the word “violated.”  This year, her use of the word “dark” is offensive.

“If we continue this conversation, I don’t want to be told the word ‘dark’ is too much, and it comes down to a word,” Crystal tells the group.

The conversation eventually fizzles out as neither side is budging from their stance.

The episode concludes with Dorit undergoing EMDR therapy. Before her therapy appointment, Dorit tells her husband Paul ‘PK’ Kemsley how she still feels anxious in their house following the home invasion, adding that now all she sees is doom. In her confessional, the Beverly Beach designer admits that she has flashbacks to the robbery when her kids come into her room at night. She adds that all she can see in her head is the headline of her being shot and her children killed.

PK tells Dorit she needs time away with her friends and suggests they take a trip to Punta Mita.

End of episode.

Super-villain? Think again.

Erika Jayne tackles being dubbed a super-villain by Bravo fans over her actions during seasons 11 and 12 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

The Pretty Mess singer insists she’s not a “super-villain” while defining her actions so far this season; noting that she’s prioritizing herself amid her legal and financial woes.

“It’s not ‘full super-villain,'” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I’m leaning into myself. I’m leaning into full protecting Erika mode, full taking care of Erika. Who else is going to do this if I don’t? And if that ruffles a few feathers, if that looks unladylike, if that offends your, I don’t know, manners, then so be it. No one’s living this life but me. No one is coming to help me but me. So if I have to roll up my sleeves and get a little dirty, you can trust and believe I’m going to do that.”

She insists that to this day she’s unaware of any malpractice committed by her estranged husband Tom Girardi. She also reminds Bravo fans that she is not facing any criminal charges and that all of the lawsuits against her are civil.

“There’s a big difference between civil liability and criminal behavior,” she notes, “and I think that people don’t understand that. And you can see that reflected in the comments; people not understanding what it is.”

“People are going to pick sides, and however they feel about it,” she adds. “Some of the more sophisticated audience members have looked into it — there’s all different types of levels of why people watch Housewives, some people watch it for just straight having a good time, others really look into what’s going on.”

Erika goes on to address co-star Garcelle Beauvais’ actions towards her this season. According to Erika, Garcelle wants her to act and react a certain way and when she doesn’t it confounds her.

“I think that Garcelle wants something from me that she’s not going to get,” Erika quips, adding, “and that is this sort of, she has this perspective about the way I should be behaving … and what I should be doing in regards to my legal situation. And that’s just not– I can’t do what others want me to do.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 8 pm on Bravo.

Those are fighting words!

Teddi Mellencamp claims Sutton Stracke called her and Erika Jayne “white trash” during season 10 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

During a recent episode of their Two T’s in a Pod podcast, Teddi and co-host Tamra Judge discussed Sutton’s recent drama on RHOBH. The Southern belle was called out by Kyle Richards for her lack of empathy towards Dorit Kemsley after she was held at gunpoint during a home invasion.

Teddi took issue with Sutton’s confessional claim that she has an “issue with guns.”

“When I see Sutton say in the confessional ‘you know for me, I have a history with guns, I have a real issue with guns,’ then my mind goes back to the season that I was on with Sutton, where they never showed it, where Sutton called Erika and I
white trash and she said she grew up hunting and using guns and blah, blah, blah and ‘just because I’m not from like the white trash places where you guys are, we could get license at 15 to drive a tractor'” Teddi explained.

When Tamra asked why the diss didn’t air on RHOBH Teddi explained that producers “don’t show those types of things, especially your first season.”

Despite her issues with Sutton, Teddi did admit that she believes Sutton “is good television.”
