RHOBH: Erika Jayne Celebrates Her Birthday Without Any Housewives
Erika Jayne from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills celebrated her birthday this week without any of her costars by her side. In the current season, the reality star has been getting a lot of love from her costars following her divorce from her estranged husband, Tom Girardi. However, the show has yet to cover the legal issues Erika has been entangled in with Tom and how that has affected the singer. By the looks of the trailer for next week's episode, Erika's world is about to crumble even more.
When viewers met Erika for the first time during season 6, no one would have guessed she and Tom would have these accusations brogbt against them. Although their 33-year age gap did raise an eyebrow or two, their relationship seemed solid from the beginning. Erika claimed Tom always supported her, whether she wanted to be a singer or write a book, but he was rarely present for her accomplishments. Even though Tom was never around, she always had her RHOBH girls.
On Wednesday, the soon-to-be 50-year-old celebrated her birthday with a small group of friends, according to Us Weekly. "Erika had an intimate birthday celebration last night with her close friends at one of their homes," an insider exclusively told the publication. "It was kept low-key." They added that the singer was in good spirits as she was "surrounded by those who cheer her up the most." Surprisingly, none of her RHOBH castmates were included on the guest list of her intimate get-together. Her publicist, Jack Ketsoyan, was in attendance and shared a video on Instagram of Erika clapping with a massive crown-shaped vanilla cake and an assortment of balloons behind her.
The cake was decorated with flowers, macarons, and a heart that read "Happy Birthday Erika" on top. The Pretty Mess author was surprised her nearest and dearest bought her a cake to celebrate her milestone birthday with the source noting that she "loved" the party. Erika needed a mini-birthday celebration after it was announced that the victims of Tom's embezzlement were allowed to collect money from her. In documents obtained by People, Tom's former clients, the Ruigomez family, can collect the $11 million they were owed by him per a 2020 litigation from Erika. Attorney Jay Edelson also claimed last month that Erika "was incredibly involved" in Tom's case. He alleged she received "10s of millions of dollars" from her ex-husband's law firm to help fund her companies and lavish lifestyle.
Since none of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ladies were at her intimate birthday gathering, viewers began to wonder if she was ever really that close to them. Even her closest confidant in the group, Lisa Rinna, was absent from the festivities. Maybe the ladies have something planned for later in the week.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on Bravo.
