Erika Jayne’s Husband Tom Girardi Is Being Sued, Again, For Unpaid Security Bills

A new day, a new lawsuit involving a Bravolebrity. We all know it’s XXPen$ive to be Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne. Given her husband, Tom Girardi’s seemingly constant legal woes, we also know how many f***s she gives about it all. That is zero-zero-zero f***s to be exact.

Erika is a hard shell to crack. Slowly but surely, we’ve come to know more sides of her each season she appears on RHOBH. For instance, she went from patting her puss to being an Ice Queen to being Dorit Kemsley’s most compassionate friend. Growth? And just a few episodes back, viewers witnessed her cry insincere tears to Tom about how much his financial emotional support means to her. Still, Erika remains one of the most guarded housewives in the franchise. So, she probably isn’t too happy about the latest headlines she’s being dragged into.

According to The Blast, Tom is being sued for unpaid security bills. The court documents obtained by The Blast show that Tom owes a company named GS1 $53,859 for services rendered. Apparently, Tom hired GS1 in September 2010 (yes, a decade ago) to provide security at his home in Pasadena. The company exacted $39 an hour for “armed guard services.”

Okay, needing armed guards for your house is just so far out of my broke-ass living situation, but I digress. GS1 is claiming that Tom stopped paying their bills in September 2019, even though the company was still providing security at their mansion through January of this year.

As The Blast reported, “the lawsuit is seeking the unpaid balance of $53,859 plus interest from the date of ‘first breach’.” This means Tom stopped paying for this decade-long security detail in 2019. I wonder why all of a sudden he just stopped paying?

This is not the first time Tom’s been sued for not paying his debts. But the $53,859 plus interest seems like an amount that would be doable for Tom and Erika. Unless of course that 16-million-dollar settlement – and that other 3 million-dollar lawsuit – put the couple in the hole? At some point these bills have to add up, right? Or are they just so hideously rich they can do this whole lawsuit thing every year?

I hope it’s the latter, because what would happen to Erika’s forty-thousand-dollar a month glam squad? What if she has to cut back? The horror!

Cameran Eubanks Responds To Claims That Her Husband Had An Affair; Says She Quit Southern Charm Months Ago

Cameran Eubanks Responds To Claims That Her Husband Had An Affair; Says She Quit Southern Charm Months Ago

After Cameran Eubanks confirmed that she will not be on Southern Charm when the season returns, rumors swirled about what really happened. Did Cameran leave the show on her own? Did she get fired for a lack of storyline?

Then, rumors started to swirl that Cam’s husband Jason Wimberly, an anesthesiologist. who prefers to stay out of the spotlight (and off the show) was having an affair. Some people even claimed that she left the show because she didn’t want that storyline on the show.

Cam responded to those rumors with a lengthy Instagram statement. She wrote, “I was going to make a kind statement about why I decided to leave the show tomorrow however it has come to my attention that insidious rumors are now spreading and fake articles are being written… some of which pertain to my marriage.”

Cameran wrote, “While upsetting, it certainly doesn’t surprise me as this is what reality television has come to nowadays and a large reason why I chose to keep my marriage off the air. You must protect what is sacred to you. Some things aren’t worth a big paycheck. What upsets me the most is that my husband, who is the most sincere faithful human I know is being falsely dragged into this. It disgusts me.”

She insisted, “He always supported me filming the show even though he wanted no part of the spotlight. I can’t get too upset though because this is what you sign up for when you put [your] life on reality TV…. and why I’m getting out of it now.”

Cameran continued, “Drama is needed to stay on reality television and sadly false rumors about others are sometimes created. Make of that what you will and consider the source. My decision was made and given to Bravo months ago and had absolutely nothing to do with ridiculous and fake rumors about my marriage.”

She told her folllowers, “Please disregard any fabricated rumor. It’s a ploy for ratings and that’s it.”

Cam concluded, “Now I know I was absolutely smart to leave the party early. My guy has never failed me. To all of the genuine and kind fans, cast, and crew that I have worked with [through] the years and had the pleasure of knowing… thank you.”

Chelsea Meissner “liked” the post and commented, “Well said.” Kathryn Dennis also clicked “like,” which is interesting since Cameran “liked” a statement from a Charleston department store denouncing Kathryn for sending a racially insensitive message. Cam also unfollowed Kathryn on Instagram.

Charleston Department Store Ends Affiliation With Kathryn Dennis After Racially Insensitive Remarks; Cameran Eubanks Unfollows Kathryn

Kathryn

Kathryn Dennis came a long way since Season 1 of Southern Charm. She went from having everyone against her to having so many people rooting for her success.

Now, a lot of people are done with Kathryn after her recent Instagram DM’s went public. She used a monkey emoji to refer to an African American woman. And, in response, that woman shared the screenshots on her Twitter page. Sure, Kathryn apologized on social media, but what does that even mean? Is she just upset that her DM’s went public? Did she somehow learn the era of her ways, even though it appeared to be a recent DM conversation?

Now, the Charleston department store Gwynn’s is disassociating itself from Kathryn, which is understandable. If you recall, Kathryn “worked” at the store and filmed there a few times throughout the years.

The store’s Instagram account posted, “As a minority-owned business, Gwynn’s and our employees are dedicated to serving all members of our community. Indisputably, Kathryn Dennis‘ comments and statements to Tamika Gadsen do not reflect the values of the Gwynn’s brand.”

 

RELATED: Kathryn Dennis Called Out For Using Monkey Emoji To Refer To An African American Woman

 

The statement continued, “Her previous affiliation as a brand ambassador was periodic and on a contract basis. We stand in unity with people of color and with the causes that fight to end injustices.”

Both Naomie Olindo and Cameran Eubanks “liked” the post. The Instagram account for Naomie’s clothing line also “liked” the message. The recently retired reality TV star Cameran also unfollowed Kathryn. Interesting.

Shahs Of Sunset Star Nema Vand Says Meghan Markle Toyed With His Heart In High School

Shahs-Of-Sunset-Reunion-Nema-Vand

Even though almost no one seemed to know who Meghan Markle was before she got with Prince Harry, but, now, people are coming out of the woodwork, sharing their associations with her. It’s not just her paparazzi-calling dad or her hating half-sister.

But, at least this time the comments are actually pretty nice. It turns out that Shahs of Sunset star Nema Vand used to hang out with Meghan when they were teens in California.

Page Six reported that Nema discussed this during an episode of the Reality Life with Kate Casey” podcast. He explained, “I went to an all-boys high school, and one of our sister schools was Meghan Markle’s. I grew up with her. We were friends for a long time. She was a year older than me. Meghan was amazing, a woman among girls. Everyone was in love with her. She was sweet, and very kind.”

The praise continued when he said, “We admired her. She was a good friend.”

But it wasn’t all compliments. Nema spilled a bit of tea. He began, “She knew what she was doing. She toyed with our hearts masterfully. We were at a party one time and she sat on my lap. She got nose to nose with me. For a 16-year-old guy, that is an emotional moment. She said to me in Farsi, ‘You are so beautiful.’ I asked her, ‘How do you know Farsi?’ She said, ‘I learned it for you.’ Then she walked away.”

Nema added, “I like to hope Meghan Markle is watching Shahs of Sunset, and I like to hope she tells that almost-make-out story as authentically as I do.” I doubt she’s telling that story, but I would love to know if she watches reality TV.

While Nema had mostly kind things to say about the former senior member of the Royal Family, his one friend still has beef with the Suits alum. He remarked, “And by the way, if Meghan Markle is listening, I am going to say this one time. Meghan, you really upset our friend Gabe.”

Nema also shared a screenshot of the Page Six article on his Instagram page and wrote, “And my 16 year old heart has never been the same. OK but on the real, I rarely speak about MM, but she was an incredibly sweet and kindhearted friend even waaaayyy back in HS. Nice to absolutely everyone when she didn’t have to be, which is not always the case for teens. Hopefully she’ll enjoy this innocent trip down memory lane.”

I doubt this would ever happen, but I really hope Meghan did listen to that podcast. Imagine if she addressed this.

Dina Manzo Says Caroline Manzo Replaced Dolores Catania After She Backed Out Of Real Housewives Of New Jersey Season 1

Dina Manzo Says Caroline Manzo Replaced Dolores Catania After She Backed Out Of Real Housewives Of New Jersey Season 1

It was only inevitable that Dolores Catania joined Real Housewives of New Jersey at some point. She had decades-long relationships with Teresa Giudice, Dina Manzo, and Caroline Manzo long before the show even started filming.

If anything it would have made sense for her to be a part of the OG cast. Well, it turns out she actually was slated to be a full-time cast member on season one. However, she changed her mind and someone else was brought in to replace her.

Real HousewivesFranchise pointed out that Dina shared this fun fact on her Instagram Story: ‘[Dolores] was supposed to be in season one but backed out so Caroline took her place.” Very interesting. So much of what Real Housewives of New Jersey was initially marketed as involved Caroline and her family being “thick as thieves.” That matriarch mentality shaped the initial era of the show.

Caroline and her kids even went on to get their own spin-off show. It’s fascinating to think that this might have never happened.

This comment from Dina sparks some questions. Was Caroline always on deck as an understudy? Did she initially turn the job down before accepting the gig? Just imagine if Dolores was around while Teresa flipped that table at Danielle Staub. What would Dolores do if she was there when Teresa chased Danielle around the country club during season 2?

But, picture this, and it’s something that could still happen. Dolores has managed to maintain close friendships with both Teresa and Caroline. What if Caroline came back to the show and Dolores was stuck in the middle despite those “old school Italian” values she always mentions? That might make for some interesting TV.

Vanderpump Rules Recap: All’s Fair In Love & Pool Parties

Vanderpump Rules Jax Taylor

Vanderpump Rules Jax Taylor

Well, hell hath surely frozen over and the next thing we’ll be celebrating on Vanderpump Rules is an ice skating party because I actually liked Katie Maloney this episode. Hold me – I am fainting from the vapors!

At least I’m reassured that the constant is my complete and utter disgust of Jax Taylor! Accidentally taking a bite of that moldy lasagna found in the back of your fridge during a dunk binge eat is more desirable!

After Jax went on a rage-text tirade and uninvited everyone from his pool party (like anyone wanted to go to begin with) Tom Sandoval decided to host his own party for the rejects. Unfortunately the list of rejects grew and grew until it was revenge of the rejects with Tom and Ariana Madix winding up with an amazing party while Jax and Brittany Cartwright had one of the sad little get-togethers you see at the end of an HGTV House Hunters episode when the couple claims they “LOVE” to entertain.

Jax is apparently in the throes of some full-fledged post-wedding traumatic attention-whoritis syndrome where he goes to the gym 3 times a day to sweat his feelings out. Brittany sees parallels between Jax’s present behavior and how he was acting right before he cheated. Now she’s afraid he’ll do it again. I really cannot have ANY sympathy for Brittany. You married a douche for a fantasy wedding paid for by Bravo … Now you have to repay the loan shark with interest.

 

RELATED – Vanderpump Rules Recap: Gatorade, The Thirst Trapper

Vanderpump Rules Tom Sandoval Tom Schwartz

The drama begins at SUR where Tom 1 and Tom 2 are there to clean the bathrooms after losing the softball game. They run into Brittany and let her know about the rival pool party. Brittany is furious and stomps off, but Tom 2 points out that this is Jax’s fault for being an asshole, so Brittany has no one to blame but him.

When Jax learns what’s going on he flies into a rage and blames everyone but himself, but mostly Tom 1 for showing everyone his rage texts like a “little girl” and a “bitch.” Jax is so fucking pathetic. Jax sent those texts to everyone! Also I’m tired of him calling someone a girl as the ultimate insult, then insisting he has nothing but respect for women. Which is why he mistreats all of them — including his mom! The ultimate insult is actually to be called a “Jax.” A piece of soulless garbage no one would even pick up at a beach cleanup, and a master of projecting his own bullshit!

After screaming at Brittany when she attempts to explain that his rage texting caused this, Jax storms out to go to the gym. He insists Brittany can “track his phone” if she doesn’t believe him. Oh please, Jax is probably dropping the phone off at the gym lockers then heading to his mistress’s house. Or he’s fucking someone at the gym. There’s no way he’s going to THREE HIT classes per day! Also he really needs to get a job like his Tom friends did.

Vanderpump Rules Lisa Vanderpump

Meanwhile at Tom Tom, Lisa Vanderpump has an exciting proposal! Tom Tom has been so successful in its first year that they’ve turned a profit and the Toms have earned their initial investment back. Lisa and Ken have just acquired the property next door and are hoping to expand to Tom Tom Garden. If the Toms want to roll-over their investment they’ll each be 10% owners of the entire thing. Lisa tears up because she’s so proud of how far they’ve come and I’m proud too! Tom and Tom both agree they need to talk to Katie and Ariana before deciding, which is another shocking mark of maturity coming from Tom 2!

While Jax is running around ranting that he’s mature and adult, then spending all day hiding from his life and his wife at the gym and crying on instagram, the Toms – people he dismisses as little girl losers – are becoming restaurant moguls. I LOVE the shadiness of Bravo contrasting their awesome accomplishments with Jax’s nonstop IG stories about the fucking gym. He still looks like a doughy lump of unformed human. He’s a melted Ken doll. BLERGH.

Vanderpump Rules Brittany Cartwright

Brittany is so distraught that her pool party has runneth dry that she invites Lala Kent over to vent about Jax.  Why is Lala dressing like Mrs. Roper?

Jax calls as they’re talking and flips out that Brittany thinks he’s cheating because how dare no one trust him. For some odd reason Brittany, Jax, Stassi Schroeder, and Lala have this ire towards Tom and Ariana because they’re daring to have a party before their house is fully furnished. Jax compares their house to a frat house, but his house looks like it’s decorated with “Too Blessed To Be Stressed” signs from TJ Maxx. Brittany is a Jaxonista, and Jax is a cracksonista. And now that Jaxty-Dumpty took his great fall by insulting his friends one too many times, he can’t put these relationships back together again!

Ugh – I guess we have to talk about Dayna Kathan. I guess I like Dayna alright, but I am far more interested in the snide and witty Charli Burnett, and the clearly crazy Danica Dow. Alas neither of them were stupid enough to sell their dignity by fake fucking Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni like Scheana Marie and Dayna did. Brett and Dayna go on a date, afterwards they make-out. Dayna is into him and thinks he’s into her too. Unfortunately Max is out for revenge.

Vanderpump Rules Dayna Kathan Lala Kent

Several people meet up at Dayna’s stand-up act – YAWN – then afterwards hit a bar where Scheana joins them. Why would Scheana attend an event for Dayna when they hate each other? Cause Scheana will go anywhere there are men. Over dinner Max brings up the situation with Dayna and Brett and does so with the full intent of embarrassing Dayna. He keeps demanding Brett admit whether or not he has feelings for Dayna.

Vanderpump Rules Max Boyens

Brett caves under pressure and insists that they haven’t fucked so it doesn’t matter. It’s gross and I’ve never actually seen two guys fight to get RID of the affections of a woman… The entire time Scheana keeps interjecting that if Dayna really cared about Brett or Max she wouldn’t have tried to play them both. Scheana your jealousy is showing and it’s solid green!

In the lead-up to the dueling pool parties more drama unfolds. We learn that Scheana can’t attend either party due to music video re-shoots (OH GOD) and that when Jax found out he texted calling her “dumb” for scheduling something on his “day.” Lala and Stassi are going to the Jaxney party because they’re adults who appreciate mature conversations and giant inflatable slides.

Trying to save Brittany’s party from obscurity Lala calls James Kennedy to see if he can DJ for all 4 people attending. Unfortunately, James is already committed to DJing Tom’s party.

Then, of course Lisa gets involved. Jax is on Ariana’s last nerve and she tells Lisa all about how he’s mistreated and manipulated his friends for years, so it’s no loss to lose him from their lives. She’s right – Tom 1 definitely deserves better! Unfortunately Ariana, Lisa and Brittany are volunteering at Covenant House to donate their old clothes to at-risk youth. Lisa asks Ariana to please be mindful to remain it polite as if Ariana has ever started drama in her life. I wish she were that exciting!

Brittany is the one who causes a scene. Of course! She turns on the ‘whoaoaoaoaoaoaoaoaoa is meeeeeeeeee’ histrionics about how her feeeeeeelinnnnns’ are hurtin’ cause Tom stoled up her parteeeeee. Ariana rolls her eyes and reminds Brittany it’s Jax’s fault for ostracizing his friends. Furthermore when they had their very adult dinner party – you know, the one Jax and Brittany were NOT invited to – everyone there suggested that they host a ReJaxted pool party. Even Katie!

Brittany really proved that her Little Miss Innocent act is all a lie when immediately after volunteering she texted Katie accusing her of being the reason her pool party is ruined. Katie is having lunch with Tom 2 and experiencing a very adult moment discussing the expansion of Tom Tom (and seeming like a real couple for the first time in 35 years) when she gets the rude text from Brittany, who is reacting to her very adult party being canceled by throwing a tantrum.

Well Katie’s maturity only goes so far! She calls Brittany and they start arguing about how this is Jax’s fault. Brittany feels that since Katie is a regular and habitual rage texter herself she should be empathetic to Jax by letting this go. Has Brittany met Katie? With Katie screaming in the restaurant Tom 2 snatches the phone to defend his lady by calling Brittany an “idiot” then hanging up. The hilarious thing is that Tom and Katie were planning to attend Jax and Brittany’s party until this incident.

They show up at Tom and Ariana’s unannounced where the backyard is decorated with tents and giant pillows, with James setting up his turntables. Everything looking super bucolic and fun. Everyone comes there. Even Peter Madrigal. Charli explains that Jax is closer in age to her dad than he is to her so she’d rather get drunk with her peers and twerk in a thong than discuss the weather while standing around the grill.

Vanderpump Rules Brett Caprioni

Jax’s party consists of Stassi, her latchkey-lackey Beau Clark (I actually appreciated how he stood up for Dayan this episode), Lala without Rand, and Brett… Why? Brett assumed Max was going to Tom’s that’s why. Also Brett is a vegan and despite inviting him, Jax and Brittany don’t even have anything there he can eat. These two are such assholes.

Max decided to take a petulant stand by boycotting both parties because Dayna isn’t crawling back to him. Brett explains to Stassi and Lala in a way I assume he thought was eloquent that he’s a ‘bros before hoes’ type of gentleman who wouldn’t dare defile a friendship by dipping his wick into a woman who may hath been claimed by another fair-weather friend. This be thy nature of a bromance in the wild world of WeHo where convoluted sexual lines are drawn in lipstick and hair pomade and a man is only as good as his loyalty and honor to the products of his using. Basically he’s not gonna fuck with Dayna if it bothers Max, but it’s gonna stop bothering Max the second Brett stops fucking with Dayna. Then Brett is gonna realize he got played. Also Brett is back to slicking back his hair so it no longer looks like Danica went after him with some of her voodoo revenge dolls and a taser.

Jax decides Brett is a kindred spirt, but a better version because he just fucked everything that walked regardless of morals or potential hurt. Stassi realizes Jax is on the brink of a nervous breakdown and pulls him aside for a chat. I actually think Stassi truly is the Jax whisperer and the only person that can call him out, succinctly, without him getting riled up. So that’s just what she does.

Vanderpump Rules Stassi Schroeder

Stassi reminds Jax that his life is great: he has a wonderful wife, a beautiful home – so what the fuck?! Jax goes on a rant about how he’s so selflessly put himself before everyone else for so long that he’s all used up and has nothing left to give, and if people don’t start catering to his every whim again he’s going to take it out on Brittany. The problem is that his brain is “sprained” so he can’t use it. That’s just what happens with brains that are put to the test.

Meanwhile at Tom’s house Dayna tells Katie that she’s too hot to waste time with either of those losers, and she won’t be setting for half a man’s interest or attentions. Good for her!

Vanderpump Rules Katie Maloney

Then Katie and James have a touching moment that is so shocking I rewound the episode. After the Toms invite James to the DJ the Tom Tom one-year anniversary party as a reward for his sobriety, Katie tells him she really appreciated his apology and they do a tepid kind of hug. Tom 2 actually burst into tears. He’s never seen Katie be so… well, human. Nice. Katie without Stassi is a wonderful thing to behold. And Kristen Doute was even at this party with Carter too so there was ample opportunity for Katie to go ballistic and ragey!

Instead it’s Ariana who loses her cool. When she learns from Kristen that Stassi was making fun of her house and party, Ariana compares Stassi to Regina George (from Mean Girls) and suggests she check her ego with her apartment that has the second bedroom turned into a dressing room “copying Scheana.”

Ariana has had it up to newly restored brain and emotional state with Stassi fake pretending she wants to be friends. Then she dives into the pool, filled with people partying, having fun, and twerking and she realizes life isn’t so bad. Maybe the problem all along was that she was trying to appease people like Stassi to fit into Tom’s group of friends. And maybe, just maybe, Tom has finally realized he doesn’t need these people as friends either.

I’m intrigued by how this will play out. Tom and Tom must stay connected as they’re business partners which means Katie and Ariana are stuck together too. Stassi may find herself left out in the cold.
