On Season 13 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, we’ve been watching Erika Jayne desperately try to force herself into a redemption arc. Every week, she says in her tagline, “The best part about losing everything is getting it all back.”
In real life, Erika is far from redemption and even farther from getting it all back. Remember Hulu’s shocking documentary, The Housewife and The Hustler? It’s getting a sequel. ABC News Studios and L.A. Times Studios just announced The Housewife and The Hustler 2: The Reckoning, and it looks like Erika is back in the hot seat for her involvement in Tom Girardi’s allegedly fraudulent lifestyle. You can check out the trailer below.
This story isn’t over
At this point, it probably seems like we’ve heard everything there is to hear about Tom’s supposed crimes. However, this new documentary seeks to continue the investigation. It promises to give light to untold stories of how Tom’s allegedly fraudulent behavior impacted everyone around him. It also aims to answer the lingering question we all have: what did Erika know?
Shockingly, the documentary will also show Erika meeting with some of Tom’s alleged victims for the first time. In the trailer, we get a glimpse of the awkward sit-down. Our fingers are crossed that Erika might show an ounce of sympathy or accountability in this documentary. The teaser doesn’t leave us with much hope.
In the clip, a victim asked, “Erika, why did it take you so long?” Erika simply replied, “I was never asked to do this. Nobody was really interested in my side of the story.”
In the past, Erika’s attitude has been cavalier regarding the alleged victims of Tom’s alleged crimes. It will be interesting to see how coming face-to-face with them impacts her behavior moving forward. Also, how will the RHOBH ladies react to seeing Erika take this step?
The Housewife and The Hustler 2: The Reckoning drops on Hulu on Monday, February 12. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo, Wednesday nights at 8/7c.
