Erika Jayne has been through quite a bit, including her ongoing divorce and legal situation involving Tom Girardi. Much of this has been seen on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but it seems things are now looking up for the RHOBH star. Now, she’s opening up about her return to Broadway and dishing on everything related to the show and what fans can expect from the rest of the season.
As many will recall, Erika made her Broadway debut in the hit show Chicago in January 2020. We all know what happened that year, and her run was cut short in March. Now, she’s making her grand return to the stage as she felt she had “unfinished business.”
Recently, Erika sat down for an interview with US Weekly. She discussed quite a bit, but she started with a discussion of how she has coped with all the drama related to Tom and the lawsuit. For context, she has filed for divorce, but it’s still not finalized. Erika said she’s in a place where she has “more good days than bad.”
The interviewer wanted to know if Erika felt she had closure after all she’d been through with Tom. She admitted, “I don’t know if I’ll ever have complete closure, but I think I have it about as good as I can get. I will never have answers to some questions about my own life, but I think it’s about as good as you can get. I also have to acknowledge where I’m at today, sitting here, looking forward to the future as Roxie [her character in Chicago].”
She added, “I have to be here, and I can’t live any longer in the past. I have to let it go — easier said than done, but it’s something that I actively do every day.”
The issues between Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley then came up, and they discussed how Erika is in the middle. She said, “These are two people that I’ve known for a long time. Two women who are going through the worst time in their life. I most definitely can relate. I hate to see these two women, who are having a very hard time, go at each other when their husbands are good friends and having a good time.”
She went on, “And they do come to a resolution, but it’s a long time, and I say that today. I don’t know what comes at the reunion, and we’ll see. The one thing I do want for them is peace, and that’s what I wish them the most.”
Regarding being “caught in the middle” of their issues, she said, “Well, I was in the middle. I don’t know that I was necessarily caught. You’ll see me get to a point where ‘I have to step out; you two need to resolve this.'”
