Erika Jayne has opened up on how she empathises with the reported victims of Tom Girardi’s actions.Â
Erika Jayne Has ‘Empathy’ For Tom Girardi’s Reported Victims But Not All The Housewives Are Convinced-‘You Want To Be On The Side Of The Victims Because You Think It’s Cool’
The duo, for their part, were accused of embezzling funds from a settlement that was meant to be for the victims of a plane crash. While Erika’s lawsuit has been dismissed, even if it could get refiled in another state, Tom was removed as an attorney.
And she wanted to let everyone know how bad she felt over those that had suffered. In an interview with Page Six, she said: “Of course I have empathy for them. I had empathy for them then, and I have empathy for them now. And I trust that they will be taken care of.”
Despite Erika being cleared, not everyone has been convinced by her narrative. This was on the grounds that Erika had been living a lavish lifestyle, and yet, was seemingly unaware of Tom’s activities.Â
But given that the latter has now been diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s, this is something that we will never know. Naturally, her fellow housewives had a lot to say on the matter.Â
In the trailer for the show, we can see that Crystal Kung Minkoff and Erika are getting involved in a heated argument. Crystal questions Erika’s story by claiming that she is trying to garner sympathy. She was alleged to have said the following: “You want to be on the side of the victims because you think it’s cool!”Â
And yet, that perception has only gone on to reinforce Erika’s stance. She expanded on how she went out of her way in order to cooperate with the authorities. In the process of doing so, she had nothing to hide, even if the chatter on social media would suggest something to the contrary.
Her following comments confirmed as much: “Listen, I want to be very clear here: I have cooperated fully with everything.” Time will tell if Erika’s comments do end up coming back to haunt her. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
