The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne says she is not on speaking terms with her estranged ex-husband, Tom Girardi, amid his shocking physical appearance. Tom was recently seen out in public for the first time since late last year, and the huge black eye he was sporting caught many by surprise. Erika appears to be among the surprised spectators after she expressed concerns about Tom's ailing health. The big shiner Tom had on his eye comes as legal pressure mounts against the divorcing couple.

Erika has been opening up about her crumbling marriage in season 13 of RHOBH. Many have been suspicious of her November 2020 divorce filing that came on the heels of multiple lawsuits against the disgraced attorney. Erika has defended her divorce and claimed it's not a "sham" to help Tom hide his money. But there remain mixed reviews from viewers on whether or not they believe Erika's claims of innocence and being in the dark about Tom's alleged illegal activity. Tom has been secluded and rarely seen in the last year.
