As Erika Jayne's legal troubles progress, her alleged salary The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 11 was leaked to the press as well as claims she was given a raise. Erika started this season being friends with everyone but ended up in a much different place. The finale ended with most everyone on good terms, but after watching the season back and hearing what everyone had to say about her behind her back, there were rumors that Erika was only on speaking terms with Lisa Rinna. Lisa was the only one whom Erika felt remained completely loyal to her both to her face and when she wasn't around. Fans continuously called out the other women for saying how they feel in their confessionals but being too scared to say it in front of her.
Going into the reunion, fans were wondering whether or not Andy Cohen would treat Erika with kid gloves. After filming, however, everyone claimed Andy asked Erika all the tough questions and that she answered every single one. A sneak peak of the reunion all but confirmed these claims, with the entire second half of the trailer focusing on Erika. At one point, she established that she feels alone among the group, as she begged for at least one of the women to have her back. The part of the trailer that got the most attention was when she told Andy she stayed with Tom Girardi because she had nowhere to go, to which Andy replied that he knows what she makes on the show.
It seems that fans now also know what Erika makes on RHOBH, as her alleged salary for season 11 was leaked to the public. As reported by Radar Online, Erika's salary was leaked amid her ongoing legal battle with creditors involved in the case against Tom. It is reported that Erika made $600,000 for RHOBH season 11. It is still unknown what she was payed for appearing in previous seasons of the show, as this was her alleged salary for season 11 only; fans can assume she was payed a little less. There are reports Erika was given a raise this season since her increasingly interesting personal life provided more content for the show. The drama surrounding her legal case even prompted Bravo to start production on season 12 early to be able to catch the courtroom drama.
Erika is currently involved in a $25 million lawsuit in connection with her ex-husband Tom's embezzlement claims. He is accused of embezzling millions of dollars from plane crash victims and using that money to pay Erika's bills. It is reported she spent $14 million alone on one American Express card. Erika has been resistant to cooperating with investigators and is standing firm on the claim that she knew nothing about her husband's actions. She is currently appealing to have her case dismissed and get the lawyers investigating her finances off her back.
There are still questions floating around about whether or not Erika knew anything about Tom's alleged illegal business dealings. It will be interesting to see how much information is revealed in the upcoming season and how much of the focus will be on the court case. It will also be interesting to see whether or not she changes her behavior considering the backlash Erika received this season for some of the things she said or did. Taking into account the fact that she defended her behavior, it doesn't seem like much will change next season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8pm on Bravo.
