When Erika Girardi (and her alter ego Erika Jayne) joined Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she was an immediate fan favorite during her rookie season. After her unprovoked Hong Kong meltdown during her second season and her freak out at new cast member Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave this year, that “fan favorite” status in jeopardy.
Obviously there are a lot of people who are going to adore Erika no matter what. There is a lot to like: she has an intriguing double life, she says hilarious things during her on-camera interviews, and she has such an over the top sense of style. The list goes on and on, but it is tough to watch her snapping at Teddi over and over again, when it appears to be unprovoked. Obviously none of the viewers know every single word exchanged between the two of them, but based on the episodes alone, Erika’s interactions with Teddi have been less than flattering- and that’s putting it nicely.
