REALITY TVYikes! Erika Jayne Snaps At 'RHOBH' Producer After Being Pressed About Never-Ending Legal Woes
Erika Jayne is not having it with questions about her legal woes.
During the premiere episode of season 12 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, set to air Wednesday, May 11, on Bravo, the Pretty Mess author, 50, sat down with costar Garcelle Beauvais to chat about how she felt betrayed by Sutton Stracke after she continued to press her for what she knew about her former husband and attorney, Tom Girardi, allegedly conning former clients out of their settlement money.
Jayne admitted to the Wild Wild West actress, 55, that she felt let down after, according to the embattled star, via E! News, Stracke "chose to repeat things and say things that have been disproven."
The former Chicago star then mentioned the cashmere designer's comment about "the $20 million elephant in the room," in which Stracke was referring to the accusation made in a motion filed by the bankruptcy trustee that Jayne's businesses received more than $20 million in loans from Girardi's law firm for several years.
"I never had it," Jayne claimed to Beauvais of the money. "It was never in my hands. It was never in my account." Not one to be fooled, Beauvais was not buying her story.
"I've seen nothing — not in the paper, not in the blogs, nowhere. If this is true, why isn't it in the press?" the former cohost of The Real pointed out in a confessional.
After a producer asked Jayne directly when exactly the claims were invalidated, the pop singer got snappy. "I don't know," she told the producer. "You'll have to go check all that s**t out, but it was disproven. So Bravo can do their due diligence. I don't really know."

Jayne revved up her anger, as she seethed, "Tell them to go f**king read everything that my lawyer has put out. They can answer their own f**king questions."
Jayne then alleged to Beauvais, "the facts are in my favor," and that Stracke "spoke very strongly on things that have been disproven."
Jayne's estranged spouse had her thrown into a never ending flurry of legal messes after he was forced into an involuntary Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case where former clients accused him of running his law firm like a Ponzi scheme.
