On the current season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Erika Jayne continues to be the center of the drama. The pop singer is now swimming in lawsuits after her estranged husband was accused of embezzling from clients.
Her legal affairs have bled out on the show, and certain castmates are taking digs at her situation. Before the upcoming reunion, which was recently filmed, fans submitted their questions about the 51-year-old. Co-star Garcelle Beauvais (who never tires of giving Erika the third degree) openly declared her excitement for the reunion.
On Andy Cohen‘s Radio Andy Show, the host provided details about the taping.
He said the “drama” with Erika “kept coming up” because there were “tentacles of the drama that involved all the other ladies. I will say we did a big chunk of her marital drama earlier in the day.”
The host continued, “And then I would say the last 90 minutes was a very spirited conversation about the case and what’s going on.”
When co-host John Hill asked if Erika confessed to anything, Andy responded, “She answers everything… I mean, the viewers had amazing questions, and I feel that we represented the tenor of what the viewers were feeling.”
Andy also expressed, “I thought it was fascinating. It was engaging. It was surprising. And we did, we spoke about everything.” According to Andy, they addressed the widows and orphans, her husband’s Alzheimer’s, the alleged other women, and if any money was hidden.
When asked if they discussed her future in terms of jail time, Andy answered, “[We] talked a little bit about that. [I] want to point out: She has not been charged with a crime.”
Andy admitted, however, that Erika addressed if she was worried about it.
John added, “It’s a little weird that — you know, to me — that things seem business as usual, shooting a reunion, going about the show, but it seems like this is such huge stakes, that it would seem like… s**t’s coming down.”
“Again,” said Andy. “I’d like to point out, she has not been charged with a crime.”
He also teased that Garcelle and Dorit Kemsley got into it. Later on, Andy shared that “a few people” broke down in tears, “including Erika.”
According to the host, Lisa Rinna also addressed the publicized breakup of her daughter, Amelia Hamlin, with ex Scott Disick.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
