Erika Jayne is looking ahead to the upcoming 15th season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
After she and her castmates targeted Mauricio Umansky, 54, and the “passive-aggressive” behavior he displayed amid his separation from Kyle Richards, 56, with Kyle sharing their daughters’ reactions to his photos with former flame Nikita Kahn, 33, in Greece, Erika, 53, called for new cast members and wondered how Sutton Stracke, 53, would do without Garcelle Beauvais, 58.
“I think that it’s someone brand new! I think new blood is always good. Look at [Bozoma ‘Boz’ Saint John], she’s been a great addition. I think someone else new shakes up the friend group a bit. I would give anything for that,” Erika told PRIDE on April 11. “I don’t know what’s coming for this show. I don’t know how Sutton will feel without Garcelle. I guess we will all find out.”
As she continues to navigate personal challenges, including lawsuits and an upcoming trial in a $24 million case against her, Erika said she’s focused on living her life authentically.
“I was told a long time ago by a very famous person you don’t believe either one. You just remain neutral. When it’s good, it’s good. When it’s bad, it’s bad but you remain yourself,” she stated. “You don’t fall in love with the good. You don’t run from the bad. Be very confident in who you are and you’ll be okay.”
Erika also spoke of Mauricio on the RHOBH: After Show, via The Daily Dish, admitting that it upset her when she heard he replaced a family photo at his office with one of him and his Dancing With the Stars partner, Emma Slater, 36.
“I did not like this,” she stated. “I don’t like it now, I don’t like it then. That is not cool. I’m sorry. Well, you know what, I’m not sorry. I’m not sorry. I don’t like it … If you’re looking Mau, I still don’t like you for doing that. I’m sorry, all sh*t aside, put it in the back.”
“That is shots fired,” Jennifer Tilly, 66, agreed. “That is deliberate. That’s like a passive-aggressive thing ’cause he’s got to know that she is going to walk into his office at some point and see that and get some sort of message. That is very cold-blooded [and] harsh … Especially since there was some sort of kerfuffle about the dance partner.”
Meanwhile, Garcelle slammed the move as “bullsh*t,” and she added, “Replace it with a picture of you and the kids, not a picture of you and your dance partner.”
As for Kyle, she confirmed the photo has since been taken out of Mauricio’s office.
In addition to commenting on Mauricio and his other women on the RHOBH: After Show, Kyle and her castmates will be seen addressing his loved-up trip to Mykonos with Nikita on part three of the reunion.
“He apologized and he felt horrible. And, you know, he got a tongue-lashing from the four other Kyles,” Kyle revealed in a sneak peek at the upcoming episode, signaling Farrah Aldjufrie, 36, Alexia Umansky, 28, Sophia Umansky, 25, and Portia Umansky, 17.
“I don’t feel angry … [But] when I saw those photos, it was very jarring at first because, to me, in my mind, that’s my husband of all these years. How weird to see him with another woman at all,” she added.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 reunion concludes with part three on Tuesday, April 15, at 8/7c on Bravo.
