Erika Jayne gave the guy 20 years of marriage she was represented in well she was the Dodie wife until she got on the housewives she chose to have her own career she couldn't left him because he's a hotshot lawyer she wouldn't have got anything you would have found it into the ground financially now has a career of some description if if she's lucky you know like she doesn't seem to have a great deal of money
@@Prieze868 she posted texts that were like 10 years old showing he cheated with the judge. How's she not know here? And also she recently said that after Yolanda's divorce she went and checked his ph and found out he was cheating.. that was well before this video
@@Prieze868 Yolanda and David announced their split December 2015. Their divorce was finalized in 2017. Erika claimed that she knew he was cheating after speaking to Yolanda and having a hunch to look at Tom’s phone. This interview was done in March 31st 2018. She knew about Tom’s infidelity during this interview.
When I was 15 and fighting with my mom; she said “goddamn it, I’ve done the best I could!”. I looked at her through nearly swollen closed eyes and sneered “it wasn’t good enough” as CPS led me away. I didn’t remember it until I had my son at 22, watched him sleeping, and called her sobbing to apologize. We all cut each other...
That is so heartbreaking, and you were NOT wrong to say what you did to your mom. If CPS was taking you away, do you really think she did the best she could? Life is so complicated, and being a mother is so complicated, but older generations of parents had basically no standard to hold themselves to, and zero accountability. That call should have come from her, in tears, apologizing for not really doing the best she could. I deal with a mother who says the same thing- 'did the best I could'...but my problem is that she never learned from her mistakes, regardless of how much pain they caused me. All the tears, all the begging, and STILL, just says, "I did the best I could." It's so hard to not defend the things she has done, because that is what we do- we protect our parents from judgement, because we don't want them to feel the pain we have felt. We should be the ones being protected, and if we aren't, something is wrong. It's not something easily gotten over, so we blame ourselves to try to make sense of it. My heart goes out to you, because my husband has had 6 hour conversations with me, trying to give me perspective on why I was still hurting, because I couldn't understand why she couldn't see why I hurt, and just didn't care like a mother should. It's just about accepting it's not your fault, and your pain is real, and valid. Your pain, Jennifer, is real, and as a mother, you now see that your mom failed you in ways you could never fail your child. I think they can't take responsibility, because if they did, the guilt could kill them- or at least they think it will...but that is NOT on you. Huuuuuug
If the CPS is taking you away, then things could have been better...just saying. My mom is very toxic to me and my children and for their and my safety, I don't talk to her. If she calls me, it's usually a setup to make me look bad somehow. Don't miss her...and that's sad but a decision she's made and responsible for. I raise my kids completely differently than she raised me, thank God.
Bedridden Beauty I hope you are healing and made peace with what you deserved to get but did not. If you have kids, you will get to experience that amazing bond. You never not miss having a mother but it gets better.
Jennifer Love I am so sorry you experienced this and it may very well be that your mm did the best she could. It does not invalidate the fact that maybe it was not enough. Patenting is hard. Hope you’ve found some healing and she is able to be there for you now in a way that supports you.
There are a lot of "housewives" that entertain me but there aren't a ton I admire or even respect. With the exception of Erica. She isn't your typical superficial housewife.
Jojo, she's open and honest. I like that. She has also stayed with her husband for more years than many people are married, and she makes her own money. I don't know if she started as a gold digger, but most gold diggers don't stick around for the long haul. They usually produce a kid & bounce, kinda like Chyna.
Erika and Tom really have loved each other, in a very real way, for many years, as real husbands and wives do. We need to, as women, encourage women who struggle financially, to seek stability in their partnerships. We all have different things to offer, and the relationships that have the best chance at lasting, are the ones that have BALANCE! We need strength where we are weak, and there is NOTHING wrong with acknowledging that!- weather it's time, money, extra hands...there should be no shame! Erika is the kind of woman that would intimidate the hell out of a lot of men, and thank goddess she found a man that would let her truly shine.
I now see Erika in a whole different light. She turned her young hard life into a wonderful career. She wears many hats. I wish I could be half that strong.
I’m 41 and feel sexier and more free now than when I was 21! I’d rather be in my garden listening to these feisty women than dancing on a stage with glitter but I love every ounce of this woman (Jenny too)!! Women own the world and Erika is such a cool part of our club! God Bless 40+!!
This was such an enjoyable and insightful interview Jenny and Erika! Both of you are amazing, powerful, intelligent, hardworking, strong ethics women. I’ve always been a huge fan of Jenny McCarthy since her MTV days. Erika Jane from day 1.
I love Erika!! I’ve loved her from the min she called LVP a sniper from the side. Beverly Hills also has my favs ..love rinna and Kyle! But Erika && bethenny Frankle are my favorite favorites! 😍😍😍
I was so disappointed with her this season. I thought she was mean for stupid reasons. She attacked Teddie who was harmless and Eileen. I thought she was cooler than to take offence at a choice of words. This interview made me like her more. Kindness really matters.
That's bc she a little insecure girl, compared to Erika. Erika put her in her place, the shit she did to Dorit so her and the old lady could be mean girls. She's not real, totally changed everything about herself, bc she's insecure and then say she's a life coach? No, she needs the life coach.
I feel Erika should have been a Country Music Star or Soap Actress ... she is just a strong independent southern women at heart and she reminds me of many women in the south I know, I truly admire her...

She’s VERY guarded and “as a matter of fact”, so as soon as any emotions are discussed she puts her guard up and says “it’s ok”. Even when she talks about difficult parts of her life she focuses on facts and doesn’t show emotions. I still think that if she showed more vulnerability and rawness on RHOBH it would help women. Because it’s real. And she’s sooo real in many aspects, I wish she would show us the pain hiding behind those eyes. #loveandrespecterika
There's something so...rigid about Erika Jayne. Like she's always on guard, always prepared to attack, constantly correcting the narrative of her life to keep it looking the way she wants it to appear. The fact that her face is as immobile as a stone wall probably doesn't help. Her whole self-presentation is really offputting, like she's telling her life as a story she's rehearsed rather than a life she lived. I'm sure it's a defence mechanism, & there are good reasons why she's the way she is, but I'm 15 minutes in & she's just not interesting. I mean, she SHOULD be interesting, because she's led an interesting life, but it's all so stiff & over-rehearsed. Maybe it's nerves. Or maybe she's just not a good storyteller.
I know what you mean, but this is a press event. It’s to promote the show and her book. Jenny references the book for many of her questions (as a host is meant to) so her replies are stories she has told over and over. M I’ve always felt that Erika has a clear line of what she shares and what she doesn’t. Her storyline’s often revolve around her performances and fashion, which are flashy distractions. She really knows how to play the housewife “game”, as she put it.
Wonderful interview, i was really inspired and enlightened by erika's life journey!@ she has a strong beautiful soul!!@ i am a fan of her now.!@ many blessings your way !
I love Erika Jane, she is so humble and down to earth. And she never acts like the rest, she is more real and tells it like it is. She is very rich but never forgot were she came from and always stayed humble.
June giovani Erika is not humble and not "down to earth" as she is unable to breath without any of her "glam squad" aka *mean-girls-with-penises-paid-to-act-as-her-friends.* It's low key pathetic. I initially liked Erika because she didn't kiss Van Der Pump's old ass but the way she reacted to Eileen or Teddi is *messed up* and I'm sure she lost many "fans" after those incidents. She's clearly a sociopath.
Demetrius X Of course we don't know her personally (thank god for that tbh) but ever since she signed up to participate in a TV show, people (even those who don't know her "personally") are going to have an opinion about her and her lifestyle. That's part of the deal of being "famous". I think she pretty much accepted that. But the few fans she has left need to accept it now.
Words cannot express how much I LIVE FOR ERIKA JAYNE!!! Jenny, I love the blue bob. You can do no wrong. I am a HUGE fan of your 'tru blu' straight forward, HONEST personality!
legend, hero, icon, diva, queen, role model, A STAR IS BORN !!!! we can all learn a thing or two from this brilliant and radiant soul....just fabulous !
I turned 48 last week on 5/9. In my 42ns bday, my mom told me she regretted having me. That killed me. Then i cape back to life a stronger mom to my own.
I love Erika but she is WAAAYYY too guarded to give a good interview. So annoying how she countered every "negative" question with a justification. ugh
I disagree Story and the reason why is because I feel like she is authentic, short worded at times guarded without a pretense it seems to be the natural way she communicates. It doesn't come off as purposely evasive in my opinion and I don't think it is fair to jump to any conclusion dissecting or being a knitpick because she might not answer the way yourself nor anyone else rather would like. She is already in the chair willingly OPEN and somewhat vulnerable to her fans and the entire PUBLIC.
Gotta disagree with the whole Dancing with the Stars, Erika just couldn't dance well. She can strut and squat but does not have the fluidity with the dance moves.
Kimberly Ball Actually Erika only lasted a very short time on Dancing with the Stars because of that...the judges and she, herself, said the same. Nothing wrong with that...she still is a far better dancer than your average person on the street. I like her but she's just not a professional dancer.
Erika and Jenny. What a great interview and one thing is not only suggested here, but spoken about is how respecting yourself, looks. These two women are friends and are kind to one another and SUPPORT one another. I love that. Women in Hollywood need to stop finding reasons why another woman is their competition and reasons why they don't like each other and fuel that energy towards support and kind words of encouragement. The one thing about Erika that I love is that she is supportive, honest and is always excited when another woman is doing her thing and is equally excited that Erika is doing here thing. We need to really be that woman. An army is many, not one. That's where the power is.
Lord I needed to hear this. As a mom in school in a tough program that requires so much time and dedication, but is unbelievably rewarding, I feel like a total failure sacrificing time with my son to succeed in school. Thank you Jenny and Erika for having this interview! I'm going to keep pushing and succeeding for my son and I to have a better future.
It's kind of amazing to watch this interview given what we know about Erika in 2021. I don't know to what extent Erika was involved in Tom's crimes. However, i feel sorry for the victims who were denied their shot at achieving the 'peace and security everyone strives for in life' because of Tom and Erika's greed and avarice.
Jess Jones A lot of artistic people are, which is why they need external validation. Also think the fact that people constantly talk about her marriage doesn’t help. I don’t think she is a gold digger, but if she were her husband would know, he is not a stupid man at all. They are happy together so just leave them alone!
I am struggling this season and when I saw the reunion, with liking Erika as much as I used to. I was shocked to see how brutal she was towards Teddy. Erika says she is all about empowering women but the way she spoke to and her actions towards Teddy was the opposite of empowering. I do appreciate Erika saying that she respects fans that have been honest with and to say they didn't like things Erika did or said this season. I also find it difficult to relate to Erika when she says being on the show is a "game." It makes me feel that she isn't being genuine if she is constantly thinking about her next move. While i will always be a fan, I will have to admit I am now more reserved with my feelings towards her. Hope others can see my truth in this and know that we all have our own opinions even if they aren't the same. Much love to my fellow RHOBH fans. ❤️
Sometimes hard to take the speed talking rhythm of the way Erica Jayne's answers every question putting defining punctuation marks at the end of every sentence as if "learner wisdom has just spoken".
This is an excellent interview and Jenny does a great job. I like getting to see the real Erika and not just the 2D version we see on the RHOBC. I think she is really growing on the show and in person. This year I was a bit critical of her as I felt she was a bit of a bully at times. I love the fact that she owns what she says, good or not. I think she is becoming a great role model for young women.
I wish she would treat LVP with a little more kindness. She seems to judge very harshly yet she speaks of being hurt by people having judged her in harsh ways.
She said that thing about the contracts that she does not understand but they made me sign it!!! See she’s so innocent I don’t think she even knew about her ex cases lawyers always keep everything close doors and don’t talk about it with their families. People are so cruel to judge her wrong because she was a wife so she was taking care of her business I mean how am I suppose to know my husband is a drug dealer when I am busy working in two jobs and studying I would have never known that because they keep things hush it’s a mans ego they will give you a credit card and you go out and make your dreams come true.
People are really slamming her and I don’t think that’s right. We don’t know all the details of their marriage and finances, nor should we. Who are we to cast the first stone? He was older and a lawyer of many years before they married. She would not know of all his business dealings, especially in the type of work he did. Many women don’t know everything involved in their husbands lives, especially when you’re dealing with doctors and lawyers etc.. I’m a nurse and though it’s different, I don’t share all the stressful things that I deal with at work. I would think when you have super busy lives, such as yours and Erika’s, there would be so much that’s not shared because you are so busy and there isn’t enough time in the day. Just my personal opinion. No sense in being a bully to anyone. Whatever is happening, is probably painful and stressful. The courts etc.. will figure out what’s what and deal with it however it needs to. Where is innocent until proven guilty?! Anywho, I loved the interview and it was fun. Thanks! God bless you both!
Jenny I have loved you since the first time you opened your mouth! I grew up with you, much respect to you and your wonderful family! Erika Jayne, I have so much to say to you, not at you! Where do I begin? You MAKE the show on RHOBH! Just when I was bored you came along. I said who is this woman, I have so much in common with you, maybe different situations, but how you handle them. You are beautiful inside and out, really, I am one of your biggest fan, but not because of RHOBH (well that just made me more into you) but the first time I saw you, I was hanging out at one of the biggest gay night club in New Orleans on Bourbon St. I'm from there so I was hanging out with my large gay entourage as usual, we both know you have to be fabulous to have a bunch of witty, beautiful, loyal gay men, trans, and drag queens for friends. One of your videos played on the large screens all over, blasting with perfect sound and I looked up and saw you, I was mesmerized bc I was kinda like you, even my friends were like "that's you Miss Thang" and I looked you up the next day and watched all of the videos you had on RUclips at the time, then I saw your age and was blown away and so inspired, we are kinda close in age. But then something horrible happened, on my 32nd birthday my boyfriend found me on the floor unconscious, he carried me to the car and flew to the ER, long story short I was diagnosed with aggressive Stage 4 breast cancer hormone positive (so no kids for me) with metastatic bone spiny lesions covering my spine. It stole EVERYTHING from me. So I was home a lot and couldn't do much bc of the horrid chemo and anti hormone meds and an oophremectomy (no more ovaries) was brutally sent into menopause...horrible at 32. I then I spiraled into chronic depression, anxiety on top of ppl I thought were my friends and family. It destroyed my relationship, I went broke because I was told I couldn't work. So I started watching a lot of tv, which I never had time for before. Skip to RHOBH, I watched all seasons then you came on the scene, let me just tell you, you became my fav from day 1! I thought you were so real and fabulous, talented, fashion forward, your team, your husband bc I studied law, which my family pushed me into bc I was so good at debate. Any who's after diagnoses they gave me 18 mos...I was horrified, mad, sad etc. I said to myself, no one is going to put an expiration date on me! I began a huge change in my life, I quit drinking (I was known for my taste of wine, and loved me some vodka as well) I went vegan, I got rid of all of the toxic ppl in my life etc. Now in April on the 16th 2020 it will be 10 yrs! I'm a fighter, I learned at a young age to fight, my dad used to beat me, I was bullied bc I'm originally from Detroit, and my dad moved us to Iowa, which I hated and still do, so I fought through it as an A student, graduated early, had a scholarship to a private art school, then went on to graduate from the U of New Orleans. I'm sorry this is so long. But you get the jist. I am now 42 and you helped inspire me to use my creativity to bring the real me back! You are beautiful, articulate, intelligent, fearless, in your face, unapologetic to who you are, a trendsetter, sexy, real, humble, you don't look like you look instead of fillers that make women look like bobble heads, lol, and the fact that you saw straight thru LVP the sec you met her! Like I did. I just want to thank you a diva and the Queen, Madonna, for continuing to inspire me!!! No one is gonna read this but I don't care! MUAH 💋👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💞💕💖😉🙌🏼🎵
I wanted a baby for 12 years and I was married for those 12 years. I too went thru post patium at 43 years old. I was crying all the time. It takes an enormous toll on our mind knowing you are responsible for this little infant for its every need. It is scary even how long you wanted this.
She's NOT MY spirit animal, I've got enough of them LOL☀ I♥ HER THOUGH, she's so honest & she takes charge no matter the situation, gotta LOVE a woman like that, RIGHT✨
Why can't she just admit that she sucked at DWTS. She's not the only dancer that's been called raunchy or critized hard. There's been a few and they've made it to the top 5.
I love how she thanks the audience before she even answers a question! 🙌🙌
Jenny, that was the best interview I have seen with EJ. I honestly didn’t want it to end, you did such a great job!! Thank you!

You mean an OLD gold-digger, right ..?? LOL☀
Jojo Saylor I said the same damn thing Erika Jayne is nothing but a gold digger lying talking about she waited a year for Tom smh
Didn’t know you have your own channel. Love 💕 this interview, subscribe and notification on 😁
I now see Erika in a whole different light. She turned her young hard life into a wonderful career. She wears many hats. I wish I could be half that strong.
Now what?
With all that stolen money 🤣
You still feeling the same way👀😂
Hmmmm ..

She has a lot of wisdom. I don't watch the show but I like her.

I agree i just entered my 42 nd year I feel amazing ...40s 50s everything start to happen to women
U can tell she’s still a bit guarded. Her answers are quick and succinct, almost defensive
Yes, it was a bit weird, why write a book then
or probably she's just like that. not everyone is loud and prolix.
I'm like how she is, it's hard to get out of it, you can't help it, it's frustrating for myself.
YoU'rE sO sMaRt
Because she learned a lot from her lawyer husband. She's smart she sticked around him in the law suits
This was such an enjoyable and insightful interview Jenny and Erika! Both of you are amazing, powerful, intelligent, hardworking, strong ethics women. I’ve always been a huge fan of Jenny McCarthy since her MTV days. Erika Jane from day 1.

She is so clear. I have tremendous respect for Erica.
How about now? Still huge respect for Erica now?
She knew 👀
Their energies mesh well. 💫
Cancer and Scorpio ♥️♥️

Exactly. She did what she had to do and improved her sons life in the process
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I loved them both together.
Do you still feel that way?Erica is a liar and I hope she gets what she deserves.Those poor victim's give them their money
This girl is working hard to promote her books

I mean, she SHOULD be interesting, because she's led an interesting life, but it's all so stiff & over-rehearsed. Maybe it's nerves. Or maybe she's just not a good storyteller.
I know what you mean, but this is a press event. It’s to promote the show and her book. Jenny references the book for many of her questions (as a host is meant to) so her replies are stories she has told over and over. M
I’ve always felt that Erika has a clear line of what she shares and what she doesn’t. Her storyline’s often revolve around her performances and fashion, which are flashy distractions. She really knows how to play the housewife “game”, as she put it.
I agree 100%. And this is THE BEST description of her. She SHOULD be but is not... interesting, fun to watch, engaging, funny, etc.
Great interview! I have a lot of respect and love for Erika and her story is really great.
Excellent interview, love you both!
These women should rule the world .... love them !!!
No lol
Yaaasss
Doom.
They would be great world leaders lol !! Xx
Wonderful interview, i was really inspired and enlightened by erika's life journey!@ she has a strong beautiful soul!!@ i am a fan of her now.!@ many blessings your way !
She’s a phony greedy narcissist!!
she left out how tom footed the bill for her stupid music career with embezzled money from his clients
i think Erica needs to stop interrupting. I love her but she needs to let other people finish their sentences!
Shout out to Jenny. She always give good interviews.
There's a difference between being a strong woman and being a bully. Erika has been both.
And somehow calls herself a victim. 🤔
Ej stuck up against being bullied
I love Erika Jane, she is so humble and down to earth. And she never acts like the rest, she is more real and tells it like it is. She is very rich but never forgot were she came from and always stayed humble.
June giovani Not anymore. This season is an arrogant, entitled, I can do no wrong, I'm better than all of you bitches, Erika. She's NOT HUMBLE.
June giovani
Erika is not humble and not "down to earth" as she is unable to breath without any of her "glam squad" aka *mean-girls-with-penises-paid-to-act-as-her-friends.*
It's low key pathetic. I initially liked Erika because she didn't kiss Van Der Pump's old ass but the way she reacted to Eileen or Teddi is *messed up* and I'm sure she lost many "fans" after those incidents. She's clearly a sociopath.
June giovani you're so delusional
Demetrius X
Of course we don't know her personally (thank god for that tbh) but ever since she signed up to participate in a TV show, people (even those who don't know her "personally") are going to have an opinion about her and her lifestyle. That's part of the deal of being "famous". I think she pretty much accepted that. But the few fans she has left need to accept it now.
I loved Erika there’s something about her that’s so magical
I agree
Agreed.
The most important message Erika has to share starts here: 25:05
I love me some Erika, she is apart of the "Strong Woman" class! YASSS honeY YASSS!!!!
This was the best interview 💜
Wow here in 2021. How things have changed since this interview
That's why l like to revisit these interviews a year or so later with fresh eyes.
Words cannot express how much I LIVE FOR ERIKA JAYNE!!! Jenny, I love the blue bob. You can do no wrong. I am a HUGE fan of your 'tru blu' straight forward, HONEST personality!
She is super authentic . #She is Everything. #GORGEOUS #Confident
I love Erika. This interview was great
I would be worried about losing a husband like Tom
Today I'd be more worried if I COULDNT lose him!
@@bloodygoodartist604 😂😂😂😂
This interview made me love Erika more! She's an inspiration to all 😃
legend, hero, icon, diva, queen, role model, A STAR IS BORN !!!! we can all learn a thing or two from this brilliant and radiant soul....just fabulous !
Two beautiful ladies, with a great message.
thank you for sharing
“Kind and loving…he put me where I am today.” Something I’m sure she wish she never said. I’d be lying if I said I now want to read the book 📕!!!
I don't want to pay for it
I turned 48 last week on 5/9. In my 42ns bday, my mom told me she regretted having me. That killed me. Then i cape back to life a stronger mom to my own.
Lay down your burdens, give them to Jesus Christ.
Always felt there was something special about her . She is the true lady boss !
I love Erika but she is WAAAYYY too guarded to give a good interview. So annoying how she countered every "negative" question with a justification. ugh
Story Daniels she’s a cancer but she means well
I disagree Story and the reason why is because I feel like she is authentic, short worded at times guarded without a pretense it seems to be the natural way she communicates. It doesn't come off as purposely evasive in my opinion and I don't think it is fair to jump to any conclusion dissecting or being a knitpick because she might not answer the way yourself nor anyone else rather would like. She is already in the chair willingly OPEN and somewhat vulnerable to her fans and the entire PUBLIC.
Thank you all for showing up to the Jenny Show!
I love love this woman and admire her. I watch housewife because of her. She is so inspirational for women.💕
"Surrounding yourself with like minded individuals and staying true to yourself."
Gotta disagree with the whole Dancing with the Stars, Erika just couldn't dance well. She can strut and squat but does not have the fluidity with the dance moves.
Belinda Swendsen. Oh wow, were you a contestant on the show too?? How exciting!! Lmao
Kimberly Ball Actually Erika only lasted a very short time on Dancing with the Stars because of that...the judges and she, herself, said the same. Nothing wrong with that...she still is a far better dancer than your average person on the street. I like her but she's just not a professional dancer.
Erika and Jenny. What a great interview and one thing is not only suggested here, but spoken about is how respecting yourself, looks. These two women are friends and are kind to one another and SUPPORT one another. I love that. Women in Hollywood need to stop finding reasons why another woman is their competition and reasons why they don't like each other and fuel that energy towards support and kind words of encouragement. The one thing about Erika that I love is that she is supportive, honest and is always excited when another woman is doing her thing and is equally excited that Erika is doing here thing. We need to really be that woman. An army is many, not one. That's where the power is.
Lord I needed to hear this. As a mom in school in a tough program that requires so much time and dedication, but is unbelievably rewarding, I feel like a total failure sacrificing time with my son to succeed in school. Thank you Jenny and Erika for having this interview! I'm going to keep pushing and succeeding for my son and I to have a better future.
Erica is by far my favorite housewife!! She is amazing and I wouldn't watch without her
I Love Both these gals.Thank you for this interview.
Why was the “ hello kiss” soooo awkward? Love Erika!
Jenny has herpes I think lol
Makeup
Unbelievable!!! What a phony!! Something about Erica I never liked.. now look what’s going on now
It's kind of amazing to watch this interview given what we know about Erika in 2021. I don't know to what extent Erika was involved in Tom's crimes. However, i feel sorry for the victims who were denied their shot at achieving the 'peace and security everyone strives for in life' because of Tom and Erika's greed and avarice.
Wow! What an inspirational and real interview! Thank you Erika and Jenny for your insights!
Jenny asked interesting questions during the interview an kept It real.
I can see these two reallybbeing friends
she seems very insecure, she deflects a lot and has a massive guard up
Jess Jones A lot of artistic people are, which is why they need external validation.
Also think the fact that people constantly talk about her marriage doesn’t help. I don’t think she is a gold digger, but if she were her husband would know, he is not a stupid man at all. They are happy together so just leave them alone!
I am struggling this season and when I saw the reunion, with liking Erika as much as I used to. I was shocked to see how brutal she was towards Teddy. Erika says she is all about empowering women but the way she spoke to and her actions towards Teddy was the opposite of empowering. I do appreciate Erika saying that she respects fans that have been honest with and to say they didn't like things Erika did or said this season. I also find it difficult to relate to Erika when she says being on the show is a "game." It makes me feel that she isn't being genuine if she is constantly thinking about her next move. While i will always be a fan, I will have to admit I am now more reserved with my feelings towards her. Hope others can see my truth in this and know that we all have our own opinions even if they aren't the same. Much love to my fellow RHOBH fans. ❤️
Sometimes hard to take the speed talking rhythm of the way Erica Jayne's answers every question putting defining punctuation marks at the end of every sentence as if "learner wisdom has just spoken".
I fucking love erika jayne....what an inspiration, thank you for the beautiful mess of glorious escapism through your art
Two wise, beautiful fabulous gals! Love them both!
she’s such an inspiration 💗 love her !!
This is an excellent interview and Jenny does a great job. I like getting to see the real Erika and not just the 2D version we see on the RHOBC. I think she is really growing on the show and in person. This year I was a bit critical of her as I felt she was a bit of a bully at times. I love the fact that she owns what she says, good or not. I think she is becoming a great role model for young women.
Kat BeWitched I never understood everyone saying she was bullying teddi. I do think she had like an overreaction but I think bully is strong.
I wish she would treat LVP with a little more kindness. She seems to judge very harshly yet she speaks of being hurt by people having judged her in harsh ways.
Sarah Smith nah lvp is a sniper from the side.
I'm really enjoying this interview
"Oh my god, look at the fabulous outfit that was paid by your husband's sneaky ways, stealing from plane victims ! You are amazing!!! " - Jenny
I was looking for this comment .
Exactly!
It is just a jogging suit with heels!!
Erika you are the simply genuine ,gorgeous and fabulous.
Blessings for you and Tom!!👍🌹🥰
These two ladies are my kind of people 👌🏼
I’m a huge fan of both of you and realllllly loved the wisdom y’all dropped in this episode.
Good interview ladies ❤💖
She said that thing about the contracts that she does not understand but they made me sign it!!! See she’s so innocent I don’t think she even knew about her ex cases lawyers always keep everything close doors and don’t talk about it with their families. People are so cruel to judge her wrong because she was a wife so she was taking care of her business I mean how am I suppose to know my husband is a drug dealer when I am busy working in two jobs and studying I would have never known that because they keep things hush it’s a mans ego they will give you a credit card and you go out and make your dreams come true.
People are really slamming her and I don’t think that’s right. We don’t know all the details of their marriage and finances, nor should we. Who are we to cast the first stone? He was older and a lawyer of many years before they married. She would not know of all his business dealings, especially in the type of work he did. Many women don’t know everything involved in their husbands lives, especially when you’re dealing with doctors and lawyers etc.. I’m a nurse and though it’s different, I don’t share all the stressful things that I deal with at work. I would think when you have super busy lives, such as yours and Erika’s, there would be so much that’s not shared because you are so busy and there isn’t enough time in the day. Just my personal opinion. No sense in being a bully to anyone. Whatever is happening, is probably painful and stressful. The courts etc.. will figure out what’s what and deal with it however it needs to. Where is innocent until proven guilty?! Anywho, I loved the interview and it was fun. Thanks! God bless you both!
Great interview. Erica is the best- Love you Jenny
Grifter...."that"s the GAME." all you have to do is listen to what she says....Grifter.
Jenny, you are a great host
Loved this interview!
That microphone makes her sound like Dorit!
🙄 nooo, are you kidding me?
I think she sounds like her own self with that doll type voice LOL☀
I loved this interview, good job Jenny! I admire both woman.
Jenny I have loved you since the first time you opened your mouth! I grew up with you, much respect to you and your wonderful family! Erika Jayne, I have so much to say to you, not at you! Where do I begin? You MAKE the show on RHOBH! Just when I was bored you came along. I said who is this woman, I have so much in common with you, maybe different situations, but how you handle them. You are beautiful inside and out, really, I am one of your biggest fan, but not because of RHOBH (well that just made me more into you) but the first time I saw you, I was hanging out at one of the biggest gay night club in New Orleans on Bourbon St. I'm from there so I was hanging out with my large gay entourage as usual, we both know you have to be fabulous to have a bunch of witty, beautiful, loyal gay men, trans, and drag queens for friends. One of your videos played on the large screens all over, blasting with perfect sound and I looked up and saw you, I was mesmerized bc I was kinda like you, even my friends were like "that's you Miss Thang" and I looked you up the next day and watched all of the videos you had on RUclips at the time, then I saw your age and was blown away and so inspired, we are kinda close in age. But then something horrible happened, on my 32nd birthday my boyfriend found me on the floor unconscious, he carried me to the car and flew to the ER, long story short I was diagnosed with aggressive Stage 4 breast cancer hormone positive (so no kids for me) with metastatic bone spiny lesions covering my spine. It stole EVERYTHING from me. So I was home a lot and couldn't do much bc of the horrid chemo and anti hormone meds and an oophremectomy (no more ovaries) was brutally sent into menopause...horrible at 32. I then I spiraled into chronic depression, anxiety on top of ppl I thought were my friends and family. It destroyed my relationship, I went broke because I was told I couldn't work. So I started watching a lot of tv, which I never had time for before. Skip to RHOBH, I watched all seasons then you came on the scene, let me just tell you, you became my fav from day 1! I thought you were so real and fabulous, talented, fashion forward, your team, your husband bc I studied law, which my family pushed me into bc I was so good at debate. Any who's after diagnoses they gave me 18 mos...I was horrified, mad, sad etc. I said to myself, no one is going to put an expiration date on me! I began a huge change in my life, I quit drinking (I was known for my taste of wine, and loved me some vodka as well) I went vegan, I got rid of all of the toxic ppl in my life etc. Now in April on the 16th 2020 it will be 10 yrs! I'm a fighter, I learned at a young age to fight, my dad used to beat me, I was bullied bc I'm originally from Detroit, and my dad moved us to Iowa, which I hated and still do, so I fought through it as an A student, graduated early, had a scholarship to a private art school, then went on to graduate from the U of New Orleans. I'm sorry this is so long. But you get the jist. I am now 42 and you helped inspire me to use my creativity to bring the real me back! You are beautiful, articulate, intelligent, fearless, in your face, unapologetic to who you are, a trendsetter, sexy, real, humble, you don't look like you look instead of fillers that make women look like bobble heads, lol, and the fact that you saw straight thru LVP the sec you met her! Like I did. I just want to thank you a diva and the Queen, Madonna, for continuing to inspire me!!! No one is gonna read this but I don't care! MUAH 💋👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💞💕💖😉🙌🏼🎵
I wanted a baby for 12 years and I was married for those 12 years. I too went thru post patium at 43 years old. I was crying all the time. It takes an enormous toll on our mind knowing you are responsible for this little infant for its every need. It is scary even how long you wanted this.
Put your cares on Jesus.
I want to be on this squad! This is how you support another woman.
So inspiring Erika! ❤🙌💋
She's NOT MY spirit animal, I've got enough of them LOL☀
I♥ HER THOUGH, she's so honest & she takes charge no matter the situation, gotta LOVE a woman like that, RIGHT✨
UFO Norway CjhjhhjjGzzzzzzzzzzzzzZgzzzzzzzz
Why can't she just admit that she sucked at DWTS. She's not the only dancer that's been called raunchy or critized hard. There's been a few and they've made it to the top 5.
Erika is the most level headed out of all the housewives including VDP.
She is the only interesting person
Love the interview! I knew there was more to the "Teddi dinner," you could tell there was some editing done during that exchange. Love Erika.
Great interview!
