I have a feeling she's more than what we see. I don't actually think she's mean. On the contrary. She had a very tough, lonely, loveless road for many years. She is a survivor in a cruel world.
People stay in worse marriages for much longer because leaving it's not that easy. It seams easy but it's actually not. I know she didn't really had any other choice but good for her for starting over at 50. I wish i had that power and determination.
I divorced the devil after over a decade of every kind of abuse and i identify heavily with being afraid to leace because the consequences would be worse than the life i had. He destroyed my life for leaving him
I believe you. I just don’t believe her. It just doesn’t wash. And she is a liar. She lied from the minute she stepped on the show. It’s all there to see.
I have always been team Erica, I kept saying there's something not right about the situation and its going to come out. Glad she gers to tell her story
I love Erika always think she is so misunderstood she has so much compassion and is forgiving of the other women when I know some wouldn't show her the same.
If Erika Jayne felt financially she couldn't leave her husband, that's how MANY women feel who've been abused one way or another but can't support themselves or their children when they leave the bread winner husband. I get it.
💯 anyone who left a narcissist can understand what she went thru, whether you are rich or poor or middle class. If anything she had it worse between the lawsuits and social media.
Oh cmon! She had clothes, bags with a worth of MILLION dollars! Why didn't she sell those to make money? When she was in a shop with Heilen and bought her a 800$ dress as a gift! You are really naive to think she was financially pressured but she had access to the money to buy gift to her friends.
@@michellepotter5763 do you know the meaning of the word you use or you just use it randomly? How pointing out she could have sold her stuff to get a lot of money is jealousy? Answer this question and you'll get why your comment is dumb.
I am on her side all the way! She’s had a very tough, lonely life. People are so harsh to judge people. You have no clue how she grew up, this woman is a survivor. Until you walk a mile in someone else’s shoes just shut up! It has NOTHING to do with money either! You could have none or billions of dollars…when you don’t have things emotionally from the time your a child, you learn to not trust anyone. It takes years and years to break down those walls! And every time someone comes at you, there’s reason number 100 why you shouldn’t! I could go on and on…just let her be! She’s working. She never ran and she damn well could’ve that’s a lot more than most could say! Leave her be for Gods sake! She will always stand tall..she’s a fighter cause she always had to be…thank goodness but damn put yourself in her shoes for 5mins! That was her husband people! What is wrong with this world!
I stuck to Erika's point of view as well when this avalanche started. I knew that Erika would be vindicated in the end. I'm glad Erika is being reborn this season. I hope she gets to redo Chicago
I've always been team Ericka. I'm so glad to finally hear her full story. She's right, ladies, you don't always know what your husband is doing. Glad to see her doing great!!!
I’m really happy that Zack got this interview. He alone was fair and didn’t take sides throughout the drama. He stayed true to himself instead of pandering to the fan favourites or the crazy fans who have favourites. My favourites are usually at odd with everyone else’s favourites so personally I appreciate Zack using logic instead of emotion to grow his channel instead of other content creators who pander to the fans and their favourites. I still think a reality show about all of the content creators could be fun 😂
What a fantastic interview Zack. Well done to you, you definitely asked the right questions. I couldn't stand Erica and how she behaved on RHOBH, but listening to her answering all your questions with such poise and dignity, I've changed my mind about her. She definitely went through alot which we were not aware of. I love you Erica, you've definitely changed my mind about you. You go girl and continue to be positive. ❤❤❤❤
Erika was the breath of fresh air that RHOBH needed years ago and she remains the same to this day. Huge fan, great live show, too! Much respect Erika for always being you and never apologizing for it. 💪👏❤️
I’ve watched a couple of shows each season & while everyone says she didn’t show empathy .. if she had -people would use that as an admission of guilt. This woman has taken a beating and I like and respect her grit.
This is AMAZING! your demeanor for the interview was perfect. I really enjoyed this side of your talents! Erika is so overdue having the opportunity to speak and you two have fantastic chemistry. I am very impressed and appreciate this very special interview. Congratulations to you both! We are all here for it all! xo #marinucci
This is the best interview with Ericka that I believe has ever been shown. Zack allowed Ericka to shine, be her true self and we were able to truly see how badly she was treated by the media and who she believed were friends. She should be proud of herself. We saw a beautiful sole in Ericka. This was the best interview ever. Zack you are the best. Thank you 24:29
Mad respect for this woman! She has been through Hell and just keeps walking- I don't know how many of us would have made it with her attitude and humor. So very sorry about Tiago, loved seeing him in the show, he was beautiful and obviously devoted. Glad we got a bit of that trademark laugh! Thank you Zack for your loyalty, and being able to see through the bs. 🥰
Fantastic interview! Loved hearing Erika in such a calm environment, and give you answers to every question. She’s so strong and I’m happy she’s thriving again!
There is no way he would have told her what he was doing. Just like the Guidice’s I 100% believe she had no idea. He shut her down when she asked. I believe this because if this happened to us (which it wouldn’t) my husband would have no idea. He doesn’t even know when I pay or file taxes. He never asks. It’s easy for 1 to let the other handle it all. Hopefully an eye opener to everyone to pay attention to what others are doing and know what your signing.
If she did not know about it then it was due to her down stupidity because she signed those fraudulent mortgages in fact she plead guilty to it innocent people do not plead guilty
Imagine not having money to do what you did all of us people out here that have been abused mentally physically from narcissists or from just bad people and we have no one
Anyone who feels the need to have an opinion about her and what happened around her than you owe it to her to at least do your research. I appreciate how authentic she is the season and in this interview. Thanks for being real Erika.
Well done Zac. Amazing interview, you could tell she was super comfortable with you. I think nbc universal need to hire you for the reunions and wwhl. Because Andy is tired lol
Mad respect for this lady. People need to look a little deeper. There is way more to her under the surface than what she shows the public. She's not "cold" as people call her. She's "stoic," a word that has been used to describe me a lot. It means that you are without emotion or don't show emotion. This is true to a point. She is stoic until she is forced to not be. There's a difference.
But she has a point, it's a firm, with a lot of lawyers, a firm maybe older then her, and she is the one to be blamed, why? Is this because she is beautiful, famous, why people are more judgemental with her, if she is a cold heart, is her position. But why this energy is not against the real responsable one, I bet they are lot of people and they might be at this moment in Dubai having a blast.
I'm so confused by your response. So there is -0 accountability or empathy, fighting for diamond earrings, whereas people on the street after losing everything? Yes, she said it..."People show you what they want to show you." She gave -0+ f$cks about those poor poor people. I wouldn't want sh!t that came to me from nefarious means or as a result of someone else's raw suffering.
@@jlt2693 ,another classic sign is impulsively, and aggressive behavior towards others. Erica is not either. So don't take one trait of many people and use it as character assassination. She didn't get a lot of lessons in life from her mother, and by 18 she married her stoic husband. Where was empathy ever taught or demonstrated to her in these unhealthy relationships? Behavior patterns and feelings have to be exhibited by the family and other people in our lives who raise us. And marrying her husband at 18 did not help as he was not a warm, caring, and soft man. We aren't born with empathy, it is a feeling we learn as we grow, like many others. We have to experience all of life's situations to know what our brains have to offer. She does care deeply, if you know her well, but Tom left her in a huge mess.She started out drowning because of him. And now she has more on her than she can imagine. It is going to be a long, difficult and expensive walk for her. People should withhold judgment on her now. Time is a great teacher, and her road will be hard. Be kind.
Erika should be proud that she is such a strong woman, and that she was able to find the strength to get through what she went through in the last couple years. I hope she knows a lot of us had her back 100% and knew she would come out on top❤
She is lucky that she had RHOBH to fall back on to keep her self sufficient. She has her own career and is making her own money. Yes. She went through so much in front of everyone, but this made her stronger and there is a rainbow on the other side.
Oh look at E J with her tail between her legs because she no longer has a choice! I’m going off this interview now can’t deal with all her bs! She cares only about E J…
I didn't know that my husband was a drug addict and borrowing money from everyone for 3 years, he was really good at hiding it and when I'd question his behavior towards me and others he'd get angry with me so it made it hard to even question him until I left. When I left I could finally see him clearly and once I confronted him with what I knew was true he denied it for years longer until he was ready to quit, then he wanted my help so he finally told me the truth and I helped him
I had an ex husband who’d been my teacher at my all girl’s school. It’s only though watching the behaviour or Meghan Sharkle that I’ve learned he’s a sociopath or a narcissist or some sort of other “path” - some sort of personality disorder which meant by the time I was 21 I was barefoot and pregnant and living in the same state as him- even after we’d married I’d refused to leave my nursing training until they stopped me at 7 months which was the law back then. There I was 900 km from my friends, family and career & interstate phone calls in those days were far too expensive. This was back in the dark ages of letter writing. Just where he wanted me, isolated- met my mother in law at my wedding 😱 , I learned why but it was too late then. We made a good team from the outside to the point that within not too many years we were multi millionaires through a lot of hard work, sacrifice and financial risks. As I got busier with the children and he helped to make us richer I often had legal documents put in front of me to sign. My mother had taught me well to never sign anything that you haven’t read. He’d get very exasperated as time went on whenever I had questions about what I was signing. It must have p’ed him off pretty badly because it wasn’t until I was going through the divorce we found that in the end he was forging my signature. That was very good of you to help your ex when he obviously had hit rock bottom. I have a son who’s now in his mid 40s who’s been an addict since adolescence, a heart breaking consequence of being the first child in a very dysfunctional family. The others suffer in their own ways but none of us came out unscarred.
Thank you so much, Zach for this interview! I was so excited and am watching with my 96 year old grandma now. As a paralegal currently in college to get my law degree, I have always believed Erika. Law is often difficult to comprehend; but, I knew she did not know because attorneys use IOLTA accounts and can only be touched by the firm or accountants. She also could not apologize because 1) it’s an open case 2) that would be an admission of guilt 3) she didn’t know the whole truth nor does she now. We forget she is a victim here too and her whole life turned upside down. I lost my 12 year old German Shepherd in 2018 and I know the pain she is feeling… it took me 2 years to get a new one. I’m rooting for you Erika, always have, and you are so strong! God will be able to use this experience I just know it. Sending much ❤, respect, healing energy, blessings, and support your way.
A brilliant interview Zack. Erika was poised, strong and had an unbiased platform to tell HER story.. Loved it.. Much 💜 & appreciation to you & I wish all the.best to Erika for her future...🙏💜💜🙏
This is the most hotly anticipated interview ever, Zack, and you got it! And it's an amazing interview, Erika responds immediately to your carefully thought out questions, what chemistry you have together! Best interview ever! Congratulations!
Since watching Erika on the real housewives, since day 1 I have always liked her, shes a kind, fair and respectful and I love her honesty, its so sad what has happened to her and her husband.
Zack you are the best. Love you so much. I am not a big fan of Erica’s, but you did a fair and thorough interview with her and I really appreciate that. 🙏🏻💕😘
This is an AMAZING interview! I love Erika and think she’s done a great job through it all. I appreciate how you ask tough questions but do it kindly and with respect! Great job!! 💖
aww this was such a good chat between friends.. even though its a professional relationship it was all done in a good way and no real nasty dragging people moments. I totally agree with all you both said and love your vibe. its giving SUBSCRIBED
❤This is absolutely one of the Best episodes 🔥 Erika speaks Truth, shows beautiful Resilience and stands as a Brilliant Phoenix💕🫶🏼Thank you Erika 🙌Thank you Zack for being such a respectful reporter 🥰
I truly believe that if Erika was nicer on the show & treated the other cast mates with respect she would have been treated differently by the public. She treated others so badly that Karma treated her the same. She was horrible the way she acted towards the victims. Great interview by the way Zack.
Agree. I like this Erica… she is strong & a badass. I have always admired her… until recently. However, I am wanting her to redeem herself, but stay true to herself.
@@katjaxxx7353She has shown us who she truly us, believe her. This is a bunch of bs that she has planned. Don't let her fool you. This is the woman who said she doesn't care about the victims of the scam Tom pulled. She sits here and in a holier-than-thou way says Denise was slurring, did she forget about her drunken episodes, slurring and all? This is an always arrogant, and dishonest woman who is repainting reality.
AWWWW! Tiago? Her dog 🐕 is gone to heaven? Did not know this! So sad… you can see her get teary-eyed. When they say it comes in 3’s it actually comes in 4’s. Been there too, we all have, or will. SURVIVORS are the STRONGEST
I really Don't care what this woman has to say.. I think she is just about herself. And shes been lucky because of the lawyers which I bet are or were Tom's friends
Well, where is she now? Without the financial support of her husband, with the awareness that she only cares about herself, and that she is a liar, she couldn't get a sustainable audience for her Vegas show. I really hope that Erica will take the time to sort out her life and find real love and happiness.
Hello Zack the behaviour of Tom could have been changing because he realised the walls were closing in , seeing Erica today is better than the way she treated some people on the show , sometimes she didn’t help herself 💜💜💜👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️
Definitely praise her for surviving, but 100% she's not being honest but even if she wanted she couldn't. I think she's being real and honest as she's able. She's super intelligent resourceful.
When you asked if Erika’s son was proud of her, and her response followed “does that make sense ?” and zack replied with a nod and “Mmhhmm ” 😭😭 I know you’ve spoken about your mum before, how proud you are of your own mother, so I absolutely LOVED that moment ❤
I’m glad Erica is pulling through and getting back on her feet and surviving with so little support .. none of the housewives supported her except Rinna happy for her 🌈🌻
I wasn't going to watch this but I am so glad I did! I see a different side of her and now understand why she acted the way she did and said the things she said it's her defense mechanism she's always had to defend/protect herself. Great interview!!! Loved it!
I've always supported Erika because I've seen her story before. She was a trophy wife. She didn't control the money, Tom did. She wasn't a lawyer, Tom was. Those weren't her clients, they were Tom's. You saw several times over the years on the show that he controlled her. She lived a life of luxury purchased with his money because that's what he allowed her to do. Everyone blamed her because they were too dumb to read between the lines or figure it out or they were just out to get her ie. Sutton and Garcelle. Eat your words biarches.
Having had a relationship and child with a man who I loved dearly, I agree with Ericka, people show you what they want you to believe they are and some are better performers than others. This was the GREATEST shock of my life... I loved him and he fooled me.
I always understood that Erica was not aware of what was going on and i believe the same about Ruth Madoff...Thier husbands had legitimate occupations and were esteemed.. I think all the ladies on the RHWOBV should give a donations to the victims the way they think Erica should she is equally as guilty as them ...by that I mean she is not guilty at all...she is trying to rebuild her life...she left with nothing and actually had to spend alot to defend her life...I am so happy she is doing well.
I love Erika!!! So happy to see her in a much better place now. I had the honor of meeting her towards the end of September 2023, she’s an amazing strong woman that I admire all around. ❤❤❤
I really like Erica. She’s a straight shooting fighter who doesn’t suffer fools gladly. It’s good to see she’s finally coming out the other side of the circus.
This was such a great podcast. Erika answered all the questions with real answers. I’m glad she’s in a better headspace. She came across authentic and honest. Zack great interview. You’re so good at what you do. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Zack your dream interview come true!! Absolutely brilliant piece of work and excellent questions. Love Erika and she deserves to rise up and you always knew it. 👏🏻 xxx
I have always said how annoying it was that people acted like Tom- who rarely even spoke about his feelings- would divulge such salacious information to his wife. He did not respect her in that sense. Innocent until proven guilty in America.
Right? How on earth would she know? It's not her career, it was his. He was regarded as a hero, why would she or anyone else doubt him? The only ones who really knew something was off with him were the people at his Firm. I'm sure they gave her a heads up and she bailed but I don't blame her one bit for that. She would have been left with nothing had she not done that.
I have a feeling she's more than what we see. I don't actually think she's mean. On the contrary. She had a very tough, lonely, loveless road for many years. She is a survivor in a cruel world.
Such a liar, she knew cause she deposit millions of dollars in her businesses.. this woman is bs everyone here
😂
She wrote a book about her younger years. It was a good read.
Very smart person.
Omg stahhhhhp.
When she thought she was better than everyone else she was AWFUL!!!
People stay in worse marriages for much longer because leaving it's not that easy. It seams easy but it's actually not. I know she didn't really had any other choice but good for her for starting over at 50. I wish i had that power and determination.
I divorced the devil after over a decade of every kind of abuse and i identify heavily with being afraid to leace because the consequences would be worse than the life i had. He destroyed my life for leaving him
Same but she isn't showing she victimnof all that either. It's weirdn
I believe you. I just don’t believe her. It just doesn’t wash. And she is a liar. She lied from the minute she stepped on the show. It’s all there to see.
I’m no fan of Erika but I will give her credit for not going and crawling under a rock like I felt she should have. It couldn’t have been easy
I’m sure that what her legal team would’ve wanted though haha-she might be a wealthier woman if she would’ve let the professionals do their job
I have always been team Erica, I kept saying there's something not right about the situation and its going to come out. Glad she gers to tell her story
If you think she knew absolutely nothing.. I've got a bridge to sell you
I love Erika always think she is so misunderstood she has so much compassion and is forgiving of the other women when I know some wouldn't show her the same.
I like her to. She is a honest person. Just a bit crass.
She’s a textbook narcissist. Are you kidding me with this comment?
By@@seame3795I think it's a superfan.😂
She's such a bullshitter. She claims she had no money... bull. BULL.

It was never about if she knew anything or not, it was her complete lack of empathy.
She set up a nice interview with her therapist. Asking and I quote “how do you get therapy”
@@susiedecaprio2137 No it was "how do I get empathy" classic sign of a sociopath

So good!!! Great interview Zack! Congratulations! 🍾

She’s a snake
Well I was a hater and didn't believe her. And I sorry Miss Jayne
So just coincidence she left just before lawsuits 😂
Tell me you won’t do the same lol
@@Soulroo if I would I would own it and not LIE
Great interview! I think I see Erika in a better light after this! I wish her all the best!
I didn't know that my husband was a drug addict and borrowing money from everyone for 3 years, he was really good at hiding it and when I'd question his behavior towards me and others he'd get angry with me so it made it hard to even question him until I left. When I left I could finally see him clearly and once I confronted him with what I knew was true he denied it for years longer until he was ready to quit, then he wanted my help so he finally told me the truth and I helped him
I had an ex husband who’d been my teacher at my all girl’s school. It’s only though watching the behaviour or Meghan Sharkle that I’ve learned he’s a sociopath or a narcissist or some sort of other “path” - some sort of personality disorder which meant by the time I was 21 I was barefoot and pregnant and living in the same state as him- even after we’d married I’d refused to leave my nursing training until they stopped me at 7 months which was the law back then.
There I was 900 km from my friends, family and career & interstate phone calls in those days were far too expensive. This was back in the dark ages of letter writing.
Just where he wanted me, isolated- met my mother in law at my wedding 😱 , I learned why but it was too late then.
We made a good team from the outside to the point that within not too many years we were multi millionaires through a lot of hard work, sacrifice and financial risks.
As I got busier with the children and he helped to make us richer I often had legal documents put in front of me to sign.
My mother had taught me well to never sign anything that you haven’t read. He’d get very exasperated as time went on whenever I had questions about what I was signing.
It must have p’ed him off pretty badly because it wasn’t until I was going through the divorce we found that in the end he was forging my signature.
That was very good of you to help your ex when he obviously had hit rock bottom.
I have a son who’s now in his mid 40s who’s been an addict since adolescence, a heart breaking consequence of being the first child in a very dysfunctional family.
The others suffer in their own ways but none of us came out unscarred.
Thank you so much, Zach for this interview! I was so excited and am watching with my 96 year old grandma now. As a paralegal currently in college to get my law degree, I have always believed Erika. Law is often difficult to comprehend; but, I knew she did not know because attorneys use IOLTA accounts and can only be touched by the firm or accountants. She also could not apologize because 1) it’s an open case 2) that would be an admission of guilt 3) she didn’t know the whole truth nor does she now. We forget she is a victim here too and her whole life turned upside down. I lost my 12 year old German Shepherd in 2018 and I know the pain she is feeling… it took me 2 years to get a new one. I’m rooting for you Erika, always have, and you are so strong! God will be able to use this experience I just know it. Sending much ❤, respect, healing energy, blessings, and support your way.
I wish everyone was as smart as you are xx
A brilliant interview Zack.
Erika was poised, strong and had an unbiased platform to tell HER story..
Loved it..
Much 💜 & appreciation to you & I wish all the.best to Erika for her future...🙏💜💜🙏
Loved this... Stand tall, loud and proud Erika. Great interview Zack ❤
This is the most hotly anticipated interview ever, Zack, and you got it! And it's an amazing interview, Erika responds immediately to your carefully thought out questions, what chemistry you have together! Best interview ever! Congratulations!
You do realize that interview questions are commonly provided before the interview..?
🎉Zack this was really GOOD ❤❤❤🎉
Since watching Erika on the real housewives, since day 1 I have always liked her, shes a kind, fair and respectful and I love her honesty, its so sad what has happened to her and her husband.
I’ve always admired her strength and resilience! This interview is so full circle, thank you Zack!
Zack you are the best. Love you so much. I am not a big fan of Erica’s, but you did a fair and thorough interview with her and I really appreciate that. 🙏🏻💕😘
Come on Zack pack hit that like button show our guy some love and appreciation ❤
I can't imagine being accused of something you didn't do. Especially on that level. You went through the fire girl and came out the other side.
This is an AMAZING interview! I love Erika and think she’s done a great job through it all. I appreciate how you ask tough questions but do it kindly and with respect! Great job!! 💖
I like Erica she is a strong woman to have to deal with so much in her life. I am 64 and enjoy watching RHOBH.
There is something wonderful about how calm, cool, collected and together Erika always is.
Zack you are the man. Great interview. Loved seeing this side of Erica.
aww this was such a good chat between friends.. even though its a professional relationship it was all done in a good way and no real nasty dragging people moments. I totally agree with all you both said and love your vibe. its giving SUBSCRIBED
Great interview Zach!!! Probably one of the best I’ve seen with a HW on this platform
💜🙏
I wish more people realized grief is also a divorce /break up .
❤This is absolutely one of the Best episodes 🔥 Erika speaks Truth, shows beautiful Resilience and stands as a Brilliant Phoenix💕🫶🏼Thank you Erika 🙌Thank you Zack for being such a respectful reporter 🥰
I truly believe that if Erika was nicer on the show & treated the other cast mates with respect she would have been treated differently by the public. She treated others so badly that Karma treated her the same.
She was horrible the way she acted towards the victims. Great interview by the way Zack.
Agree. I like this Erica… she is strong & a badass. I have always admired her… until recently. However, I am wanting her to redeem herself, but stay true to herself.
Wow … where does all this hate comes from ?
@@katjaxxx7353 it’s not hate but I think if you read above you’ll see the answer
@@katjaxxx7353She has shown us who she truly us, believe her. This is a bunch of bs that she has planned. Don't let her fool you. This is the woman who said she doesn't care about the victims of the scam Tom pulled. She sits here and in a holier-than-thou way says Denise was slurring, did she forget about her drunken episodes, slurring and all? This is an always arrogant, and dishonest woman who is repainting reality.
This is a hateful nasty person. She needs to own how vicious she is and apologize.
AWWWW! Tiago? Her dog 🐕 is gone to heaven? Did not know this! So sad… you can see her get teary-eyed. When they say it comes in 3’s it actually comes in 4’s. Been there too, we all have, or will. SURVIVORS are the STRONGEST
What a pickle to be in. Glad her son has her back. That is something that says alot
Omg Zack you got Erica! Congratulations on a fab interview!
Zack, you are such a good interviewer. You didn’t interrupt, you asked really great questions.❤
I really Don't care what this woman has to say.. I think she is just about herself. And shes been lucky because of the lawyers which I bet are or were Tom's friends
As always, excellent interview Zack💙
Well, where is she now? Without the financial support of her husband, with the awareness that she only cares about herself, and that she is a liar, she couldn't get a sustainable audience for her Vegas show.
I really hope that Erica will take the time to sort out her life and find real love and happiness.
Hello Zack the behaviour of Tom could have been changing because he realised the walls were closing in , seeing Erica today is better than the way she treated some people on the show , sometimes she didn’t help herself
💜💜💜👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️
Zack! Very good interview. Thank you.
Definitely praise her for surviving, but 100% she's not being honest but even if she wanted she couldn't. I think she's being real and honest as she's able. She's super intelligent resourceful.
The BEST!!! You are such a fab interviewer. Thank you!
When you asked if Erika’s son was proud of her, and her response followed “does that make sense ?” and zack replied with a nod and “Mmhhmm ” 😭😭 I know you’ve spoken about your mum before, how proud you are of your own mother, so I absolutely LOVED that moment ❤
Zack, and you did a great interview, very interesting and I give you 10 stars ⭐️
I’m glad Erica is pulling through and getting back on her feet and surviving with so little support .. none of the housewives supported her except Rinna happy for her 🌈🌻
Rinna is mentally ill imo. Erika took what she could get and used her.
@@Roz-y2d 😳🤣😂
@@Roz-y2dI miss Rinna, probably not many other do.
I wasn't going to watch this but I am so glad I did! I see a different side of her and now understand why she acted the way she did and said the things she said it's her defense mechanism she's always had to defend/protect herself. Great interview!!! Loved it!
Loved the interview 🌸
I've always supported Erika because I've seen her story before. She was a trophy wife. She didn't control the money, Tom did. She wasn't a lawyer, Tom was. Those weren't her clients, they were Tom's. You saw several times over the years on the show that he controlled her. She lived a life of luxury purchased with his money because that's what he allowed her to do. Everyone blamed her because they were too dumb to read between the lines or figure it out or they were just out to get her ie. Sutton and Garcelle. Eat your words biarches.
LMAO @52:00 the shade about suttons boring ass storyline buying a horse... im dead.
Great interview!! Nice to hear from Erika. She's had a long 3 years. She's a survivor. Sounds like she has a good therapist too.💖😊
You won me with that intro. The vibes are up, I love both of you.
ZACH, this was a great interview. You have such a great demeanor and you really make people feel comfortable 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Erika, that was so thoughtful before the season really starts. Nice to see the human side gurl. I love you Zack ❤
Having had a relationship and child with a man who I loved dearly, I agree with Ericka, people show you what they want you to believe they are and some are better performers than others. This was the GREATEST shock of my life... I loved him and he fooled me.
Great interview Zack! Good Job!!
Well done Zack - what a scoop!!
erika always has been & will be my favourite on real housewives ♥️ i admire how emotionally intelligent she is
I always understood that Erica was not aware of what was going on and i believe the same about Ruth Madoff...Thier husbands had legitimate occupations and were esteemed.. I think all the ladies on the RHWOBV should give a donations to the victims the way they think Erica should she is equally as guilty as them ...by that I mean she is not guilty at all...she is trying to rebuild her life...she left with nothing and actually had to spend alot to defend her life...I am so happy she is doing well.
Congrats Zack delighted for you , great interview ❤🙌🏻
I love Erika!!! So happy to see her in a much better place now. I had the honor of meeting her towards the end of September 2023, she’s an amazing strong woman that I admire all around. ❤❤❤
What a lot of crap she's still walking around with $5 million in the bank, she's full of it and the way she treated the other women 🤬🤬
Great interview Zack!
I really like Erica. She’s a straight shooting fighter who doesn’t suffer fools gladly. It’s good to see she’s finally coming out the other side of the circus.
This was such a great podcast. Erika answered all the questions with real answers. I’m glad she’s in a better headspace. She came across authentic and honest. Zack great interview. You’re so good at what you do. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do not agree. She’s doing a CYA interview.
Great interview Zackeeee!!! love you doll!
she's smart, and her face lit up talking about the old tom and how much she admired him.
Zack your dream interview come true!! Absolutely brilliant piece of work and excellent questions. Love Erika and she deserves to rise up and you always knew it. 👏🏻 xxx
ERICA I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH, I WAS MARRIED TO A DOCTOR, I LIVE IN GEORGIA I WISH WE COULD TALK
Fantastic interview. Erica grew on me. Zack you did a great job. So relaxed but still asked the tough questions. Fantastic!! 🥰
ZACK.....INCREDIBLE INTERVIEW!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ LOVE ERICA 😊❤❤
You are the most authentic housewife Erika. My fave
She is a perfect example that money can't buy you class
And you’re so damn judgmental
Or a soul.
Mean! She, like many others, was duped by a powerful man.
What does it have to do with class? She’s probably more well spoken and have better ettiquette than you
@@dic2504or was the the rich husband duped by her....
Fabulous interview!! Thoroughly enjoyed both yourself & Erika xx
I have always said how annoying it was that people acted like Tom- who rarely even spoke about his feelings- would divulge such salacious information to his wife. He did not respect her in that sense. Innocent until proven guilty in America.
Right? How on earth would she know? It's not her career, it was his. He was regarded as a hero, why would she or anyone else doubt him? The only ones who really knew something was off with him were the people at his Firm. I'm sure they gave her a heads up and she bailed but I don't blame her one bit for that. She would have been left with nothing had she not done that.
