Erika Jayne is only on speaking terms with one Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member – her ‘true friend’ Lisa Rinna, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The 50-year-old embattled reality TV star’s life has crumbled in front of the Bravo cameras this season amid her divorce from Tom Girardi, 82, the power house attorney and co-founder of Girardi & Keese who has been accused of embezzling tens of millions of dollars in settlement money from his clients, some of whom are widows, orphans and burn victims.
Erika’s friendships have been put to the test on the show amid questions over just how much she knew about Girardi’s financial dealings, especially the $20million which he is accused of funneling into her business account.
After watching the show in real time, Erika now considers her former confidant Kyle Richards to be ‘two faced’ and is appalled at what she considers to be hypocritical behavior by Dorit Kemsley.

Enemies and friends: Erika now considers her former confidant Kyle Richards to be ‘two faced.’ It’s said she’s only speaking with Rinna, who she feels like is her ‘only true friend on the show’
And she’s preparing to come out swinging when the stars – Richards, 52, Rinna, 58, Kemsley, 45, Garcelle Beauvais, 54, Crystal Kung Minkoff, 36, and Sutton Stracke, 49- reunite for the reunion taping this Friday.
‘Erika feels like Lisa Rinna is her only true friend on the show,’ a close friend of Erika’s tells DailyMail.com exclusively.
Rinna has been unflinching in her support of Erika this season, with some fans criticizing her loyalty after her confrontational treatment of former pal Denise Richards last season.
The insider continued: ‘The other women say one thing to her face and something completely different behind her back. Lisa actually has her back.’
‘Erika feels the hypocrisy from Dorit is outrageous – all you have to do is google her name and see what pops up there – add her husband’s name to the google search and your jaw will drop.’

‘Erika is also disappointed and shocked with how Kyle Richards has turned on her and now realizes the warning Lisa Vanderpump gave her about Kyle was true. Erika knows that Kyle has two faces both literally and figuratively.’
The Pretty Mess author is also still seething about Sutton Stracke, who confronted her in an explosive showdown on last week’s episode during a ‘dinner party from hell’ at Kathy Hilton’s home.
‘Erika also believes that Sutton should be sending her pay check to her house because if it wasn’t for Erika, there would be no storyline for Sutton.’
‘Erika looks forward to facing the women at the reunion taping this Friday. She has a lot to say and will do it to their faces, not behind their backs like they’ve done to her,’ the insider added.
Last week’s RHOBH showed Jayne and Stracke explode at one another, arguing throughout the four-course dinner over accusations Sutton had raised about whether Erika knew more about her husband’s illicit dealings than she had let on.

‘Look at my f***ing life,’ Erika said while crying over caviar. ‘Why are you all doing this to me. I’m looking at all of you. What are you doing? Seriously’
‘Look at my f***ing life,’ Erika said while crying over caviar. ‘Why are you all doing this to me. I’m looking at all of you. What are you doing? Seriously.’
‘I’m going to remember those who were with me and I’m going to remember those who were against me. Trust me,’ Erika said as she started to cry.
The end of Erika’s 21-year marriage to Tom Girardi has been a major storyline in Season 11 after she attempted to bury the news of the divorce by secretly filing on Election Day.
Jayne was recently ‘ordered to turn over financial records’ from her accountant, lawyer and landlord in embezzlement lawsuit with Girardi.
The order comes as a bankruptcy trustee continues to investigate Girardi’s assets, amid claims that both Girardi and Jayne allegedly embezzled settlement funds that were meant to help the families of plane crash victims on Lion Air Flight 610.
However, according to legal documents obtained by People magazine, Jayne’s lawyers were already maintaining that the reality star ‘has been and remains willing to cooperate fully with the Trustee’s investigation in this bankruptcy of debtor Girardi & Keese.’

While Erika maintained that she was ‘kept away from the books,’ the trustee in a new lawsuit is mandating that even if that were to be the case ‘it would be a miscarriage of justice if [she] was allowed to simply walk completely free of owing over $25,000,000 to the Estate.’
The now unearthed lawsuit reads that ‘any payments made for her benefit are her responsibility,’ after it was alleged that she had spent $25 million of the firm’s money from 2008 to 2020 — funds that were allegedly transferred into her personal company EJ Global LLC.
The news comes just days after it was revealed that her ex Girardi’s firm owes more than $100 million to creditors, with the total liabilities at $97 million more than the total assets of all property — which is roughly $4.1 million.
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed Tom checked into a senior living home in Burbank last month following reports he was diagnosed with dementia and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease earlier this year.
The Belmont Village Senior Living facility in Southern California costs upwards of $5,000 per month for a private suite with staff available 24/7, and boasts chef-prepared dining with 24 daily choices of meals.
Girardi was also recently placed under a conservatorship by his brother Robert where courts cited a ‘major neurocognitive disorder’ and has been federally disbarred by the California Federal Court.
