Being at the top can be a lonely place, especially for Erika Jayne from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, as Lisa Rinna revealed she is the only one still in contact with the singer. The mountain of legal issues has been too much for most of the other women, who have tried to distance themselves. But Lisa has stood firm in her defense, so move over Thelma and Louise; there is a new girl gang in town.
Erika is still waiting out the court of public opinion. The "Pretty Mess" singer's estranged husband, Tom Girardi, was accused of embezzling funds from the victims he was meant to represent. On top of that, newly discovered documents also showed that his law firm sent $25 million to Erika's LLC, EJ Global. Erika claimed she had no prior knowledge of her husband's wrongdoings, but not everyone is buying what Erika is selling.
According to Page Six, the Melrose Place actress has been a shoulder for Erika to cry on; that is, if she actually cried. The 58-year-old mother of two has been very supportive throughout the entire ordeal, even after other co-stars took a large leap back. A source close to the soap opera actress shared that “Lisa is the only friend left because this week’s episode is hard for her to watch with some of the women making fun of her." The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans are hoping to see the drama unfold during the upcoming reunion, which is set to feature Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Garcelle Beauvais and Crystal Kung Minkoff.
Tensions have mounted between the rest of the Beverly Hills women and Erika, with Sutton leading the charge. Erika snapped out of the docile victim role and clapped back at Sutton during Kathy Hilton's dinner. She not-so-nicely told the Georgia peach to be quiet in front of all the women, telling Sutton she had enough problems to be worrying about her wavering friendship. Sutton made it clear in a previous episode that she didn't believe that Erika was innocent, leaving the group of women split down the middle.
As for Lisa and Erika, their friendship seems stronger than ever. Erika opens up to a finite amount of people and to fans, so it looks like she trusts Lisa to the fullest. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion is bound to set the friendship ablaze as the two women stand side by side, defending each other to the bitter end. Bravo viewers hope that Erika doesn't turn on Lisa as she has with so many other women before.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesday at 8pm on Bravo.
