The high-level conflict is whether to go against the show’s stars and exhibit actual integrity.
The low-level conflict is job security, which may be slipping away for certain desperate housewives (looking at you, Lisa Rinna). It’s also some of the greatest conflict ever, watching the other Housewives decide when to defend Erika or deflect from her lies and when to give up. This is some of the greatest dialogue ever. “So yeah,” Erika said in a recent episode. Erika Jayne claims her husband, Tom Girardi has embezzled millions of dollars due to his dementia. Sometime later and very recently but Erika’s not sure when - because they’re getting a divorce and not speaking, except Tom calls her every day - Tom, who is also going blind, fought off an intruder and wound up needing eye surgery while her adult son, who is in the LAPD, flipped his car five times while driving through the California snow. Nobody knows about that, she said, even though that would have been newsworthy. (Left to right) “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast of Kyle Richards, Teddi Mellencamp, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke and Lisa Rinna are must-watch television.
However, Erika also said Tom’s sudden dementia was actually festering for years, including that time he drove off a cliff, broke his ankle, and called for help even though he was unconscious for 12 hours. It was the only way, she said, that he could have executed such a complicated Ponzi scheme. Tom, Erika claims, suddenly had dementia. Her 82-year-old husband, legendary lawyer Tom Girardi, stands accused by the feds of embezzling tens of millions of dollars from clients.Įrika, a 49-year-old mob moll wannabe who never revealed much about her life, suddenly has many stories to tell. This is the greatest modern-day morality play since “Breaking Bad,” except it’s all real.Īt the heart of this season is one Erika Girardi, stage name Erika Jayne. To those who would snicker, you are missing out. The best thing on television right now is “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Spare me your prestige dramas, “Sopranos” re-watches and streaming snobbery.
