REAL Housewives Of Beverly Hills’ Erika Jayne stormed off set crying during a La Quinta group trip as her costars learned of her alleged involvement in ex Tom Girardi’s “Ponzi scheme.“
During tonight’s explosive new episode of the Bravo series, Lisa Rinna, Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Crystal Kung Minkoff, Garcelle Beauvais and Kathy Hilton learned that their friend’s business is entangled with her ex’s embezzlement scandal.
During one of their final nights in Kyle Richards’ Palm Springs desert mansion, Erika, 50, broke down in tears and locked herself in the bathroom during a discussion about Tom’s legal troubles.
She soon gets up and abruptly leaves, declaring she’s “going home” back to Los Angeles.
The blonde TV personality left the house in tears as she exits earlier than expecting – leaving her friends stunned and wondering if there’s “more to the story.”
The following morning, an articles by the Los Angeles Times came out that called Tom’s situation a “ponzi scheme.”
In the article, it is also reported that Tom was “improperly funneling” over $20 MILLION into Erika’s entertainment business LLC.
Sutton, 49, was the first person who grew suspicious of Erika’s stories, saying: “There’s clearly something else going on. So it makes me think, is Erika being honest with us?”
As the other ladies had not yet read the article, Sutton – who went through a high-profile divorce of her own – noted that the fact they “used the word ‘Ponzi scheme’” was a very “complication” implication.
“Is someone going to jail?” Kyle, 52, asked appearing alarmed.
The Southern beauty quickly replied” “If he’s found guilty, yeah. He’s going to jail.”
She added that “there’s going to have to be some reconciliation where she goes to court.”
“If she did receive $20 million from the firm, that money should be going back to all the victims [of the embezzlement case],” Sutton insisted but added that she thought “the money is already gone.”
