To Lisa and Kyle, Erika noted that she has endured many labels in recent months. “When I filed this divorce, I was a gold digger,” she reflected. “This week you’re a conspirator. I mean, what the f––k?! And neither one of them are true…It’s a lot. It’s depressing.”
Through tears, Erika denied any wrongdoing. “I didn’t do this,” she pleaded. “I didn’t do this.”
Later in the episode, Erika shared fears of how Tom’s legal troubles may harm her reputation long-term. ”People think that Erika Jayne brought down Tom Girardi, Tom Girardi brought down Tom Girardi,” she said. “I don’t want his actions to absolutely kill what I have created. I fear starting over. The only thing I have is my name and the hope that this is not where this ends for me.”
Tom has not publicly commented on the ongoing legal proceedings.
