Erika Jayne got real about her Bravo series, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and dished on whether or not the cast is getting along. The reality star appeared on The Real on November 11 and spoke about the reports and her thoughts on the newest housewives, Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke.
Cohost Loni Love asked the 48-year-old about the rumors that the Beverly Hills housewives are all getting along. "Isn't that terrible?" Erika quipped on the show.
The "Roller Coaster" singer explained that the cast wasn't finished filming the current season and that there are issues between the women. "There is conflict. Here is the thing, We're not finished shooting and we're getting ready to go on our trip," she said. "Things are bubbling and loving one another makes it harder when you do have a disagreement. It's honest."
Erika continued, "If I didn't like someone, then I would walk away. But knowing that I care about these women, it hurts when we go home."
The conversation turned to discussing Garcelle and Sutton being added to the show. "How do you feel about the new housewife who joined? The black girl!?" Loni, 48, asked. Garcelle, 52, made history when she was announced as the first African-American castmember on RHOBH.
