Erika Jayne said she no longer talks to her 84-year-old estranged husband Tom Girardi on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
‘Do you still speak to him?’ Andy, 55, asked Erika, 52, who announced her separation from disgraced lawyer Tom in November 2020.
‘No, I thought I told you this, the day I euthanized my dog that was the last day,’ Erika said referencing her dog that died last October. ‘I couldn’t take it. I was literally holding my dog. He was dying in my arms and Tom kept calling. I was like ”I can’t do this any longer.” That was it.’
‘I haven’t spoken to you since Tom was ruled fit to stand trial, what is your reaction?’ Andy said referencing a recent court ruling in which Tom was found competent to stand trial on charges that he stole more than $18 million from his clients.
‘Competent under the law, I’m not sure what the bar is,’ Erika said. ‘I can only speak for what I know and what I lived, which is completely different.’

‘Do you think he is competent to stand trial?’ Andy asked.
‘I don’t know,’ Erika said. ‘I’m not a lawyer.’
Erika, who wore a black lace bodysuit, said she had no idea what Denise Richards, 52, was talking about at the weed dinner on a recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
‘I really tried,’ Erika said.
One viewer asked Erika what was her response for fans thinking it was hypocritical for her to bring up Denise’s daughter Sami when she got upset in the past when her son was brought up.
‘I wouldn’t have brought up Denise’s daughter had she not pushed so hard,’ Erika said. ‘That’s really the truth. That’s the answer. I did not want to do this. I did not want to go there and I really meant that. But if you want it you can get it.’
Erika said she has much better control about her son’s profession.
‘He was basically a rookie at that time and now he’s a sergeant,’ Erika said.
Andy asked Erika what was happening with her love life.
‘Not enough,’ Erika said. ‘No, it’s good.’
‘Do you think he is competent to stand trial?’ Andy asked Erika
‘I don’t know,’ Erika said. ‘I’m not a lawyer’
Erika said her and RHOBH cast member Garcelle Beauvais, 57, were in a good place after they worked on their relationship.
‘I’m in a different place,’ Erika said. ‘You get a different part of my personality when I don’t feel so cornered.’
Erika said she still keeps track of who was for her and who was against her
‘I may not voice it, but it’s still there,’ Erika said.
