Last year, Tom Girardi’s legal drama came to a conclusion when he was sentenced to over seven years in prison for embezzling millions of dollars from his clients. Meanwhile, Erika Jayne continues trying to shine bright on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, trying to distance herself from the shady dealings that funded her life.
During a recent episode, she shared an interesting take on Tom’s fate. She thinks it would be easier if he’d just die already.
Erika Jayne is still “not over” Tom Girardi being in prison
Erika opened up about her current relationship with Tom during RHOBH Season 15 Episode 2. In a conversation with Sutton Stracke, she admitted that she’s still “not over” Tom’s legal troubles, and she felt “heartbroken” to hear that he received a seven-year prison sentence at 86 years old.
“It f*cking sucks knowing that person and being married to that person for so long. Then to see him walk down the courtroom steps like that, knowing he’s going to die in prison, that’s heavy on any level,” Erika said, before making a shocking admission.
She confessed, “I just kind of hoped he’d die before he’d go to prison, just so he could get it over with.”
Although Tom’s health isn’t the best, he’s very much alive and kicking. He’s currently serving his sentence at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles, California. However, Erika said she probably won’t be swinging by for a visit. She doesn’t feel like she needs the closure. Instead, she’s just waiting for nature to take its course.
Erika explained, “Would he even want to see me? Would he know who I am? Is there going to be some magical answer to all the questions I have? No.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. You can stream it the next day on Peacock.
