RHOBH’s Erika Jayne gives heartbreaking update on ex Tom Girardi’s ‘declining’ health amid their ongoing fraud scandal
RHOBH’s Erika Jayne has given a heartbreaking update on her ex Tom Girardi’s “declining” health.
The reality star appeared on Watch Watch Happens Live! amid the ongoing fraud scandal.
Sitting down at the Bravo Clubhouse, Andy Cohen, 53, asked 50-year-old Erika: “How is Tom?”
She replied: “You know, Tom lives in a memory care facility. I can only say decline and further decline. It will not get better.”
The reality star revealed that she and her 82-year-old estranged husband, from whom she filed for divorce in 2020, still speak on the phone.
Although Erika noted that the calls “last about five seconds”.
Addressing the lawsuit, Andy asked: “Does he know that the chickens have come home to roost?”
Erika revealed: “He thinks he’s still practicing law.”
THE HOUSEWIFE AND THE HUSTLER
During the After Show, Erika also disclosed which of her fellow Housewives had reached out to her during “this really dark moment” of her life.
She specifically named RHOA’s Keyna Moore, 51, and Kandi Burruss, 46, and RHONYC’s Dorinda Medley, 57, as close friends.

Asked by a viewer what advice she would like to go back and give herself before the alleged embezzlement scandal came to light, Erika said: “It’s tough to say because I never saw it ending this way.
“Tom for all accounts has been a legend in the industry and a loving husband. It’s sad that it ended this way. I did everything I could.”
The Pretty Mess singer added that she never suspected that things weren’t adding up and never heard any rumors about his debts.
The RHOBH star is being sued for $50m as she is accused of being the “frontwoman” in Tom’s alleged “racketeering scheme”.
Their scandal was the subject of a Hulu documentary released last year, The Housewife and the Hustler.

Tom and Erika were accused of embezzling millions from families of plane crash victims, but Erika has insisted that she was unaware of Tom’s financial dealings.
Meanwhile, she has also claimed that he isn’t even “aware” of the lawsuit because his mental decline has left him “incompetent”.
