During an appearance on the August 30 episode of the Two Ts in a Pod podcast, Erika reacted to the engagement, noting that it is difficult for couples to put their relationships out there in the public eye. 

"Any relationship is hard. Put it in the public. Put it on a reality TV show. Put it surrounded by all of this controversy or criticism. Good luck, because that’s going to be hard," The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member said to host Teddi Mellencamp. "And if it fails, there are going to be a lot of people cheerleading. It's too much too soon."

Elsewhere in the podcast episode, Erika reacted to Alexis writing in one particular Instagram caption that "every moment together has been a gift" with John. 

"I bet she does feel wonderful and all of that, and God bless you, but this sh-t changes. And it changes on a dime, and when it does, it sucks," Erika continued on the podcast. "That's why I'm much more reserved."

She then made a comparison to her own marriage to Tom Girardi, which came to an end in 2020 (though the two have yet to finalize their divorce). "Marriage is a test, I'm looking at 23 years and it ain't going so good," she said. "So, if you want to f-ck around and find out, call me."
