- Previously on
"The Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills"...
- Whoo!
- Garcelle?
She didn't wanna stay
at the house because of COVID,
or maybe it's someone,
who knows?
- I am still in the process
of repairing
my relationship with Garcelle
because we aren't
where we used to be.
- Do we know how it went
with Tom today?
- The government froze
all of his assets.
- Remember, he had that
car accident a few years ago.
He crashed into a wall,
or what did he crash into?
- He drove off a cliff.
- Oh, what?
- There was a significant shift
in his decision making
in those years.
- He does?
- If you don't mind me saying,
Tom calls her.
- Well, I do mind you
saying that, 'cause I feel
like you're betraying
my friendship right now.
But please, have your moment.
- Erika.
- Sometimes not everything
is up for discussion.
So I think that was dirty.
I just want to go
to the bathroom
for a... [hiccups] minute.
- People don't react like that
unless something else
is happening.
- If someone says, you know,
"Listen, I-I don't want
to talk about it"--
- Well, you're making it like
I did this intentionally.
- You did not hear.
I know that.
I knew Erika didn't want
to talk about this.
This is a misunderstanding.
- [breathing raggedly]
- I would never want
to hurt her.
She's already
going through a lot.
I would never want to do that,
but I never got told not to.
I didn't know.
- No, I get it.
You weren't actually there.
I was there.
You had already got in the car
when she said
didn't want to talk about it.
So I would never bring it up,
but you didn't hear that.
If you were there with her,
I know you would have been
like me and not said anything.
- No.
- I don't even know
why if Tom had called Erika
would be that big of a deal.
- Obviously, if you've been
married all of these years,
your husband's
gonna try to call you.
- Do you want any more
of these?
- Just take that.
- Okay.
- You know, this is very hard.
This is a hard time in my life.
- Just breathe.
- I'm leaving.
I'm going.
I'm going back to [inaudible].
- This really pisses me off
because I don't think
Rinna's giving me
the benefit of the doubt.
She shared a lot.
She's supposed to be building
a relationship with me, right?
- Look at her.
I don't want to add to her...
- You're important to me.
- I know.
It's okay.
- And I'm not--it's not
worth it for me, for anything,
for you to think
that I was doing this
intentionally.
You shared so much.
- It's okay.
- Oh, (BLEEP).
- It's okay.
You don't need to leave.
It's okay.
Thanks, Lisa.
[light music]
* *
- Whatever's going on
with Erika right now,
it has to be major,
because she looks broken.
There has to be
something else going on.
- It's fine.
It's fine.
- It's fine.
It's fine.
It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
[indistinct]
It's okay.
- You've opened up so much.
I would not want to hurt you.
I would not want
to hurt you on purpose.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
It's all right.
I promise it's okay.
Okay.
It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
- The reaction is
a little much.
This isn't about Garcelle.
This is about Erika
and her problems.
So it makes me think,
is Erika being honest with us?
- I think I'm gonna go home.
I have got some things
I need
to take care of anyway.
So--
- Yeah, I think that I need
to get back
and take care of some things.
- Yeah, I know.
I appreciate the invitation.
I really do.
- I can make you a little bag
of snacks to take or anything.
- I'm okay.
I've eaten so much today.
[tense music]
* *
- You're leaving now?
- Yeah. I'm going.
* *
- You didn't do anything wrong.
You didn't do anything wrong.
- I hate to see you
upset like this.
- I'm sorry that happened.
- Me too.
- We know
that you're gonna open up
when you can in your own time.
Why push it?
- Truly a misunderstanding.
I know you weren't there,
and I said that to her.
She can't even hear.
Her pain is--
- Right, right, right.
- Her pain is so deep.
- Loud.
Don't blame yourself.
- It's interesting, though,
that we're the three
that are here,
and the ones
who've been friends
the most are over there.
- Well...
- It's a little divided.
- Yay.
- Love you very much.
Thank you.
- [clears throat]
- Mm-hmm, yeah.
You know I am.
I'll call you guys later.
- Okay.
- All right.
- All right, bye y'all.
- Bye.
- (BLEEP).
- Can we go and text, please?
- Oh, let's do it.
- Yes, please.
- I'm cold too.
I'm freezing.
- Now, how do we turn this
around, guys?
- Well, we--you know what?
Here's the thing.
I mean, it's hard,
but we've kind of got to get
back up on our feet
and pray for her
and help her when--when we can.
- I don't think it's gonna get
any better anytime soon.
And I'm so sad
that this just happened,
to be honest with you,
that--that this moment
happened.
- If somebody would
have said to me
that's the question
that's gonna push her over,
you better ----ing believe I
would never ask that question.
- Why did you feel like you had
to ask that in that moment?
- Coming up...
[phone chimes]
- [gasps]
- Oh God.
- I'm so sad
that this just happened.
- Yeah.
- Why did you feel like you had
to ask that in that moment?
- I thought she was sharing
something else.
I mean,
when I came in yesterday,
you guys said
she shared so much.
- She said, "I don't want
to talk about it."
- No, no, no, no.
That part she did not say.
- Oh.
- No, not that part.
I did not hear anything.
- But she said that to you,
"I don't
want to talk about it."
- But she wasn't there.
- Are you sure that that's what
she was upset about?
- I mean, she's upset
about a lot of things.
Like, it just comes out.
I get it.
- I'm just gonna get
some cheese
while we're talking.
Sorry.
- No, it's okay.
- So let's go back
and let's get ready.
- Yeah.
- Because 7:00 is dinner.
- Let's say 7:00, guys.
- Bye!
See you at 7:00.
- Bye.
- I was literally,
like, stress eating during it.
I was like,
"My taco, my popcorn."
Oh, my God.
- It's unfortunate.
But I feel like, you know, not
a lot of people are on my side.
- I mean, sides is weird
because it shouldn't--it's not
you and her side.
- But that's how it is, though.
That's how it is.
- And that's bullsh--.
- That's why they were here,
and we were in there.
I think ever since I started
hanging out with this group,
I felt like there was
an inner circle to our group.
It's just my feeling
that I can't shake,
and I think I'm not being made
to feel differently, either.
- I don't think it's our job
to ask her questions
unless she wants to share it.
If you've already been
asking questions...
- Are you gonna have
to go to court?
- I don't know.
Every day is different.
- Was he in the hospital?
- Not to my knowledge.
- And you had no idea.
- No.
- Wow.
- You don't need to ask
any more questions maybe.
- She was expressing so much.
It was because
she feels safe with us.
- We were just talking about it
in the kitchen
before we sat down.
- She's like, "Hang on."
- Well, she's seen
what's happening.
- She was waiting--
- She said
something new came out.
- I'm waiting
for the transcript
for the hearing today.
- Was there a hearing today?
- But yeah, it's not good.
It's another great day
in paradise for me.
- An involuntary bankruptcy
petition is being filed.
What does that mean?
- Involuntary.
- What does that mean?
- In the event of a divorce,
she would expect to get 50%.
If he is now--
everything that they have
is going into the bankruptcy,
Ericka cannot get a dime.
Tom is one
of the wealthiest lawyers
I've ever heard of.
I mean, this man traveled
on private planes,
lived in a mansion,
and now, it's gone.
- Listen, let's think about--
what are we having for dinner?
- You know what looks
really good?
- What?
Come on and tell us.
- Is Ruth's Chris.
They have
the sweet potato casserole.
They had
the lobster mac and cheese,
the baked potato, the spinach.
They have fish.
- I'm allergic to lobster.
- They have--what do you
feel like?
- I will--
I-I honestly--what's happening?
- Get whatever.
- I will set the table
so you can relax.
- They have seared ahi tuna,
they have barbecued shrimp,
or they have crab cake.
- I'm going to get dressed.
[electronic music]
* *
- Hello?
- Is that jumpsuit new?
- This is what I got today.
- Working, Ri--
I love your outfit.
- Thank you.
- This is gorgeous.
I'm coveting.
- I'm gonna do
a dangle earring, or no?
- No, I think that's adorable,
but the necklace
looks a little daytime.
* *
- Where's Crystal?
Is she almost here,
or I have to make my own drink?
I don't want--
Ice.
- Ice?
Okay, hold on.
- Hi, Kathy.
- Hi, darling.
- How are you?
- Good.
- Why is it not going--
why is it going everywhere
except the glass?
- I mean--
- Oh, gorgeous!
- Good evening.
- Wow, that's Gucci.
Wow, Dorit.
That's amazing.
- Beautiful.
- Wait a minute.
You're gonna waste this outfit
with us girls just here?
- Look, naughty Santa's helper,
sweet Santa's helper.
Dorit.
Oh, I just, I love her so much.
Nothing says "girls' night in"
like "dancer goes to Vegas."
I think I might be
underdressed.
- Oh, my God.
What is my problem?
- Cheers.
- Is that real? It's real.
Isn't it?
- What do you mean?
Of course, it's real.
It's vintage Cartier.
- No.
- What?
You're so ----ing rich.
I forget.
- Should we sit?
- Yeah, we should sit.
- They're like
Greek dumplings--
- There they are.
all: Hello.
- Hi.
You guys look great.
- Thank you.
- Look how great we all look.
- I know.
- I'm just gonna say it.
- Hi.
- Oh, that's a gorgeous blouse.
- Thank you.
- Cheers, cheers, cheers.
- Thank you for being
such a great hostess.
- Oh, thank you.
I mean, trying.
[laughter]
- [shrieks]
- Sorry.
- What was that?
- Stop!
- Scared the living daylights
out of me.
- Who was that?
- That was Kathy!
- I'm just burring.
I'm cold.
- Guys, has anyone spoken
to Erika?
- I texted with her.
- Oh, good.
Just so she knows that people--
- I texted her.
- You know?
- I sent her a text.
- You know?
- Of course.
- You sent her a text?
- Of course.
- And? Did she respond?
- No, I didn't expect
a response.
I was just like,
"I'm so sorry."
Does it bother me
that Erika got upset?
Absolutely.
But I know
where I was coming from.
I wasn't trying
to get at Erika.
So my conscience is clear.
- The next time she sees you,
she's not gonna be a bitch.
She's not gonna be,
you know, screaming at you.
She's just not gonna trust you.
- Okay, I get that.
- In my head--
- I get that, but I did not
do it intentionally.
- Is there anything
that you can own in it?
- Excuse me?
- Garcelle needs
to check herself
as to why
she does what she does.
Garcelle throws a little darts,
and people are like, "Ow."
- Every time somebody
brought up
Erika's Broadway debut,
Lisa chimed in, like,
"I did it 18 years ago."
Do you think that
your body image
affected your daughter
in any way?
Dancing? Barely naked?
- This is not somebody
that has your back.
And that's what I'm trying
to get Garcelle
to just take a peek at.
- Is there any part of it
that you--
that you can own in it?
- Absolutely not.
Maybe Rinna feels like
I asked too many questions,
but, you know, seeing
the way she treated Denise,
I think that's
a little bit hypocritical.
- Denise, have you said things
about me
to other people
that are negative?
- I have not.
- Did you say anything
about Erika?
- No, I didn't.
- Someone's not being honest.
- She can take her "own this"
and shove it,
as far as I'm concerned.
- I don't think
you were looking
to kick her when she's down.
I don't think
you were trying to hurt her.
Maybe, needling a little bit.
- I would not do that to her.
I am not going to sh-- on her
when she's at her bottom.
That's not who I am.
I'm just not that person.
[dramatic music]
- Coming up...
- What kind of game
do you want to play?
- I think a happy one.
- Wait.
Was--is there any situation
you would say a sad one?
- I am not going
to sh-- on her
when she's at her bottom.
That's not who I am.
I'm just not that person.
- I was there. She--
- I'm telling you.
- When she didn't want it
to come out,
Garcelle was not there.
- You don't even have
to defend me.
I know who I am.
- I know.
- It could happen
to any one of us.
I'm not taking that on.
Obviously, you feel like
maybe I should.
- Let's get really clear.
Make me understand
what happened.
- I wish I had been told
not to say anything
'cause I wouldn't,
and I wasn't,
and I--and I-I overstepped.
- Okay, that's good.
- I overstepped.
- That's good right there.
- I did not do it deliberately,
so I have nothing to own.
I'm just trying to shut her up.
- Okay, I'm getting
the food ready, guys.
- Help a girl up.
- Jeez, okay.
- Santa came early and brought
dinner from Ruth's Chris.
- We kind of match.
I keep trying to match with
people, and it's impossible.
- I know!
But let me tell you,
last night and tonight:
really good.
- You like this?
- Yeah.
I think it's good.
Yes!
It's not couture--or is it?
- No.
It's ready to wear.
- Sutton, this is yours.
- Is there any more white wine?
- Take a sip.
Take a sip.
- Oh, my God.
- [scatting]
We got to eat, guys.
You need to eat.
- Did we forget to pay
the heating bill?
- It's really, really chilly.
- Should I shut the door?
- Yeah.
- Whoo!
- (BLEEP), man, this group.
Sh--.
- I have a potato somewhere.
- Where is the sweet potato?
- Anything else
while we're behind the bar?
- A glass.
I don't like drinking
out of plastic.
- This is really heavy.
- This is one of the best
burgers I've ever had.
- I'm so happy.
- I feel like
we're missing someone.
- Erika.
- No, somebody else, no?
- Nope.
- I'm way down here at the end
of the table, Kathy.
- Oh, there you are.
- Hey, let's play a game.
- Games always lead
to trouble.
Hello, haven't we learned
our lesson?
- Should we play a game?
- I thought that, Teddi,
you were gonna be
a little boring.
- I'll see you in the car.
- It's like, enough!
Just let me have a break, guys.
- I call a thousand.
- The blue, the blue.
- You don't even know
what you're doing.
Are you stupid?
- I don't know what I'm doing.
- (BLEEP) you.
- Don't ----ing call me stupid.
- Stop it, child, upstairs.
- Don't you ----ing--
oh, wow, really?
- Don't ----ing touch me.
- Don't ----ing do that.
- Don't ----ing touch me.
- What kind of game
do you want to play?
- I think a happy one.
- Wait, was there--is there
any situation
you would say a sad one?
- Oh, we'll get to those games.
- We have no games,
like, for example, last night.
- What would Confucius say?
- Oh, shut up!
- She was related to him.
- Oh, I thought you were
----ing being rude.
- No!
- It was Confucius.
- Oh, my God.
- That's racist.
- That's so racist.
- Don't start that again.
- You guys.
- Oh, my God.
That was so funny
that they thought
that was a racist comment.
- You know, and I heard
that you had an issue
with somebody saying,
"I don't see color."
- Are you one of those people
that you don't see color?
Tell me, you're that girl.
I don't see color.
- Are you serious with me
right now?
- Is that what you're saying?
- You know, Michael Jackson
and I grew up together,
and Michael said to me,
"Kathy, I don't see color."
I said, "Well, either do we."
- Mm-mm.
No, no, no.
I'm at the other end
of the table.
I'm gonna stick
to my cream spinach.
I'm not touching this one.
- I know you can see me
as a woman.
You can see me as a mother.
You can see me as a friend,
but if you don't see color,
then you don't see me.
I think Kathy saying
that she doesn't see color
is her way of saying,
"I love everybody,"
but we've moved on from that,
and now,
I need you to see color.
I'm still a Black woman
at the end of the day.
That shows up
before my intelligence,
before my fashion.
That shows up before anything
when I walk in the room,
and I need you to see that.
- She's saying that everybody,
to her, is equal.
- But we're not.
We're not equal.
- But I think we are.
- Right.
That is
the conversation we had.
- That's the conversation
that we need to have, then.
- Yeah, we're not equal.
- What does that mean?
- Why aren't we?
- Because we are not treated
equally as you are.
And I'm not saying you--
- But we should be.
But we should be.
- Yes, absolutely.
- We're not talking
about should.
We're talking
about what's reality.
- Absolutely, we should be.
But we're not.
I mean, has anybody with
adult children here ever said,
"Be careful.
If the cops pull you over,
you might get shot"?
- Never. Never. Never.
- Jax and Jaid can't drive yet,
but I worry about Oliver
being pulled over.
I worry about it every day.
Because in an instant,
he's not my son.
He's just a Black man.
And, um...
this world doesn't see
the value of Black men.
- We can say, of course,
we're all equal,
but I have never walked
in her shoes.
- I thank God
and I'm so grateful
that I, too, grew up
in a family
where you could never dislike
someone
or treat them differently.
I grew up with that.
I wasn't--
- But because you haven't
grown up with it
doesn't mean
I haven't experienced it.
- No, of course not. That's--
- Right.
- My God, that's not at all
what I'm saying.
- Right.
- I wish I grew up in a house
where it's like, let's all,
you know, everyone's the same.
Like, I always grew up
with "Protect yourself.
"People are gonna attack you.
People are
gonna treat you badly."
And I was in a lot of ways.
In elementary school,
get little comments,
"slanted eyes," or you know,
they make fun of my last name.
My parents--they didn't
want us to engage,
but just keep your head down
and, like, walk away,
'cause they were afraid
we'd get hurt.
And I think that's why having
an open conversation
about race is important.
- Tell me if I'm wrong.
I don't want to sit down
with a little four-year-old
and point things out to them
with these innocent
little minds that never--
- I agree.
You shouldn't have
to go to a four-year-old
and say,
you know, you needs to be.
Like, it's a lot
for a four-year-old.
I get it.
Yeah.
I don't think you need to.
But I'm going to say that
to a four-year-old
if he's Black.
It's a privilege not to have
to have that conversation.
I wish I had that choice,
and I don't.
- Well, I've always said
to them,
"You guys, it doesn't matter
the color of your skin."
And we've had a lot of people
that work for us
that are very multicultural.
I've had a lot of Black
and Hispanic and Filipino,
and my kids are used to it.
I mean, some of the people
they've loved most
in this world
are dark skin, and they--
- But is the brown people
only help at your house?
- No.
- Okay.
- In fact, my mother's
best friend is Black.
- Awesome.
I just wanted
to clarify that.
- It's not only brown people
that work in my house.
Garcelle has been to my house,
so she knows that.
- We already did this.
I'm not reliving this.
- Okay, this is
a tough conversation to have.
- Well...
- It's heavy.
- When you said, "a nice game
or a dark game,"
I think this is the game.
- No, I don't like this game.
- Coming up...
- Rinna shared with us today
that Harry has acrylic nails.
- You guys, can everyone
do me a favor?
Can everyone just rinse
their plate in the dishwasher?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- That will make
my life easier.
- When you invite us
on vacation,
can you just get some help?
- I don't have help here,
----er.
- Okay, let's do it.
Let's do it.
- Do you want
some sweet potato?
- Sorry, guys, they don't have
a housekeeper here.
- No, you don't need
to have a help here.
I'm just saying that
if we're all in the kitchen,
we can all kind of chip in,
maybe, to have someone
to help us clean up.
- It's not about
chipping in, honey.
I have a housekeeper that comes
before I get here
and when I leave.
- Kyle, what kind
of a vacation is this?
We dressed for dinner,
not for dishes.
- I'm just saying
so it's not, like,
such a, you know,
overwhelming...
'Cause it's hard to have--
- It's not overwhelming.
If everyone carries one dish
and rinses it,
it's not overwhelming.
It is one dish that--
all you have to do is rinse.
You'd think I'm asking them
to detail my car or something.
- I'm going to bed.
- No one's brave e--
- You're leaving?
- I am, honey.
I'll see you tomorrow.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
[muffled dialogue]
- Good night.
- Good night, honey.
- Dorit, you look
like you're leaving.
- I'm tempted to go.
Erika is gone.
I could use her room.
- Kyle, thank you so much.
It was such a fun night.
- Bye, honey.
See you later.
- Awesome.
Bye, guys.
- Bye.
- I'm gonna get my jammies on.
- You guys,
that was hard today.
I'm sad that Erika is not here.
- I know.
I know for me,
it's hard to be, like, 100%.
- I felt her absence tonight.
- You feel it.
- Hold on. Hold on.
You guys are sleeping,
and Rinna shared with us today
that Harry has acrylic nails.
- Oh, God.
- Oh, yes.
- You know, Harry plays
the guitar,
and he gets acrylics
on one hand
'cause he doesn't like
to use a pick.
- Harry has acrylic nails?
- Harry has acrylic nails
on one hand.
- I would--
you know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna ask him
to send us a picture.
- But you need to say,
"Honey, Kyle's looking
for someone for good acrylics.
Show me your nails."
- Kyle's looking for inspo.
Send me your nails,
and I'll--
[laughter]
- So good.
- [indistinct]
- Oh, no, he did not--
[all shrieking]
- Harry, give me some tips,
no pun intended.
I mean,
forget sexiest man alive.
He's going
for sexiest hand alive.
- I literally...
- I'm so sorry, Harry.
Hamlin, I'm so sorry!
[percussive music]
* *
- Good morning.
- How are you?
What's all this?
- I need some more coffee.
I hurt this morning.
- [laughs]
* *
Ah!
Feeling good.
* *
- Okay.
* *
Oh.
- Hi.
- Hi! Thank you.
Oh, my God, I need coffee.
Thank you.
- You look so pretty.
- Hi.
How'd you sleep?
Let me put this down.
- I slept okay.
- Yeah?
- Yeah. I actually--I ended up
doing--I didn't get up
until, like, 7:45.
How are you feeling?
Did she text you back, Erika?
- Oh, I don't think so.
- Yesterday.
- I don't think so,
and that's okay.
- Okay.
- As long as she knows
how I--
you know, what I was feeling.
- Yeah.
[phone chimes]
- Rinna.
- Wait, hold on.
I'll be there in a second.
Hang on.
[phone chimes]
- Oh, my God.
This is the "LA Times."
- [gasps]
- What, what, what?
- What is it?
- Erika.
- Did something else come out?
- Her husband.
- What?
- Yeah, it just came out,
like, yeah.
Someone sent it to me.
How bad?
I have to read.
I have to have copies.
- It's just too long.
I can't--like,
it's gonna take a minute.
- I mean, the article is like,
"The rise and fall."
I thought it couldn't get
any worse for Erika right now,
but this
is like an in-depth exposé.
In this article, it says
that Tom...
- Cancer patients
and burn victims
that didn't get their money.
- "He has bristled
at allegations...
- "But his lawyers admitted
in court this week...
- You just can't imagine
that--
that someone
would take advantage
of people like that.
- It liter--it's so heartbreak.
It's, like, it kills me.
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
- It kills me.
"LA Times" is really--you know,
'cause he's like such a legend
in Los Angeles.
So, like, they're really
going hard profiling him.
- "Law Finance Group,
a Northern California lender,
"had access to some
of the firm's records
"and didn't like
what it was seeing.
"Very substantial sums
denominated as 'loans'
were going from accounts
to EJ Global LLC."
- Her account.
- Wow, this is just...
- Girardi--he improperly
funneled more than 20 million
into Erika Jayne's
entertainment company.
- Girardi--he improperly
funneled more than 20 million
into Erika Jayne's
entertainment company.
- That's a lot of money.
- "At one point,
I had 80 million
or 50 million in cash.
That's all gone."
Girardi acknowledged
in testimony,
"I don't have any money."
[dramatic musical sting]
- He said that?
- Mm-hmm.
- Morning.
- Good morning.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Well, I've been up
since 7:30.
- Have you seen the latest?
- I did.
- Did you read the whole thing?
- I read the whole thing.
- Oh, you did?
So then you tell us, 'cause
haven't had time to read it.
- It's so complicated.
- Yeah. Well, yeah.
And that's
with the whole article.
It's just so long.
- They used
the word Ponzi scheme.
- No, they did?
- Yes.
- In this article?
- Oh, (BLEEP)
(BLEEP).
- Yes.
- It's taking from Peter
to pay Paul.
- Yes.
- Is someone going to jail?
- Well, if he's found guilty,
yeah, he's going to jail.
- (BLEEP).
- Let's just think
about the--when Madoff
is going through this.
- It screams Madoff.
- Was--was Ruth Madoff
implicated in that whole--
- No, she wasn't implicated.
- But she didn't go to jail
or anything?
- She did not go to jail.
- Right.
- And here's the--here's
gonna be the tricky part.
If Erika's business
is under her name
and was accepting these funds,
that's trouble.
That's not good.
- What's gonna happen to Erika?
That's what I want to know.
- I mean, there's gonna have
to be some reconciliation
where she goes to court.
If she did receive $20 million
from him, from the firm,
that money should be going back
to all the victims.
- And is that money gone,
spent, frozen?
What's--what is the situation
with that?
- We don't know that.
- I think it's gone.
- Well, then she's ----ed.
- Well, she might be.
- (BLEEP).
- Lisa, I know.
Girl, this is not good.
- It's not good.
- Hi, Dorit.
- Hi, baby.
- Good morning.
- I can't even imagine.
Every day you wake up
and something new.
- Yeah.
- You know,
my divorce was public,
and that was hard.
It's hard when people
know stuff
and they don't even know you,
you know what I mean?
- It just feels like
it can't--it can't be worse.
- Wow.
It's not a tabloid.
It's the "LA Times."
And I can't imagine
this article came out
without her getting a heads-up.
Let's go say hi to Rob,
hi to the kids.
Which would explain
why she flipped out at me
and she left La Quinta.
So it happened to be me,
but I think
it could have been anybody.
Bye, La Quinta.
- The article
that just came out.
- It said
that he's been running
his business
like a Ponzi scheme.
- Well, that's what
we were just saying.
- That's what it says
in the article.
- Yeah, it says that.
- The Boeing victims
were not paid.
The orphans
from the plane crash,
which breaks my heart.
- There's not only
orphans involved.
There's a burn victim.
There's a group of women.
- The hormone.
- Yes.
They weren't paid.
- Because they got cancer
from, supposedly, taking
the hormones.
- Yes, that's right.
- It's awful
on every single level.
We all know it's horrible.
- These aren't
white-collar crimes.
These are crimes
that have victims.
It looks like this is
a lot bigger
and has been going on
a lot longer than we were told.
- Do you think she knew
about this article coming out?
- Yes.
- I think she did.
- That's one of the reasons
she left yesterday.
- Right. I mean, yeah,
she was upset with Garcelle.
- That's right.
- I mean, this article
is implying
that Erika was complicit
and knew everything.
I mean, how do you have
a business and not know?
- If I had $20 million
in my account,
whether it was over 20 years
or one year,
it would be very strange.
But I also know
where my homes are.
- See, I'd always been told
that we have a house here.
But I still don't have
any addresses
to where this house is.
- Have you ever been to it?
- No.
- And I've been to them.
- I mean, do you think
Tom Girardi
comes home and says,
"Let me talk about my day.
Let me tell about"...
- And I need to put--yeah.
- "You know, what--what cases
I'm working on and--
"and, oh, by the way,
I've borrowed over here,
and I'm in
a little bit of trouble"?
Like, that ain't happening.
- Right.
- I wouldn't think Erika would
know anything that goes on.
And Tom would just say,
"Sweetie, I'm in charge."
Do you know how many times
Harry's put a contract
on the kitchen table
and said, "Sign this"?
I sign everything
he asks me to sign.
Listen, if you've been married
for a while,
you're fine with it,
and that's okay.
- I--you know, I hate
to be devil's advocate here.
Maybe she didn't know,
but if her name is on that LLC,
she is responsible
for that LLC.
- Sure.
- She's responsible for where
the money comes from.
If this is her company
and her name is on it,
it's gonna not be good.
- What could happen with her?
- She could go to jail.
- She could go to jail?
- Yes.
We're wealthy women.
We have LLCs.
Your attorney
watches you sign your LLC.
If the devil himself
puts money in your LLC,
you are responsible for it.
- The picture
that's being painted
is that there was no money,
but they had
a very lavish lifestyle,
and it was--all of this
was in an effort to keep it up.
That's the picture
that's being painted.
- Is that more him or her?
- Well, by extension, her.
- Maybe I can jump
on the small plane
and meet you down at Del Mar.
We have two airplanes
in the family.
We got
our Cartier powers working.
- Louis Vuittons.
- No.
- Versace.
- Versaces.
- Look at that ring.
- Thank you.
- It's basically like wearing
a Lamborghini on your finger.
- I mean, it's literally been
since we've known her.
So everything we thought,
the picture
that was being painted,
is a very, very, very different
from the reality.
- Have we been slightly duped
by the lies?
I'm not sure what Erika is
in this whole thing,
but I'm questioning it.
- Yeah.
- It is kind of, like,
a hard pill to swallow,
because I've known her
five years.
You've known her six years.
- I don't know her.
- It's almost as if we've
not known her at all.
- It feels a little unfair
because, of course,
we want to support Erika,
but we're blindsided.
You don't know how you're
supposed to fill in the blanks
or what questions to ask.
- I worry about her.
I worry about her in a--
in a, you know, mental capacity
and how she will keep
this together.
- It's her life at stake.
- It's her freedom at stake.
- With Erika sharing all of
this new information with us
about Tom's accident,
multiple affairs,
now I'm kind of like,
"What else is going on
that we don't know?
And what have you been
keeping from us?"
Well...
- Well, I do have to pack.
- This is gonna be
a long, very expensive road.
That's what I feel
most bad for her.
[dramatic music]

[dog whines]
- Hi!
Hi!
Hi, Storm!
Hi, Bambi!
Hi!
Ow!
[scoffs] God.
* *
- Hi.
- How was the--here.
- Well, I'm not crying,
so that's...
That's how
I gauge the trips now.
- That's a good sign.
* *
- Hey!
- You know what?
It is.
And it's, like, sad
to, like, read
about all of these victims,
these orphans and widows and--
- Something doesn't add up
here.
You want to just go
to her direct and say, "Erika,
"what part in all this
did you have?
Did you know?"
That's the good news.
Oh, my God.
- Oh, wait, wait.
Wait, this is not gonna be
enough water.
Sorry. Did I get you?
Did I get you?
I've re-read
this article ad nauseam.
Erika probably knew
more about this
than she let on.
Hi, love, where'd you go?
There's no way that we have
all left this weekend
not wondering
what the consequences are
for Erika and/or us.
I mean, seriously, Wayland?
You're that upset?
[jaunty string music]
[line trilling]
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Oh, I'm okay.
What's going on?
Are you home?
- I'm home.
My mind is just, like, racing.
All these articles...
It's just too much.
- I know.
- There's a thought that maybe
Erika knew something
and is covering for Tom.
Creep into my head?
Of course it does.
I don't know how
to put this puzzle together.
And...
And then take it from there.
- It does feel
a little bit weird
that Sutton wants
to get together
without Erika,
but after
the "LA Times" article,
there are a lot of things
to talk about.
- But I do feel like, you know,
we should all meet and talk.
- I understand
what you're saying,
and I agree.
I do.
Let me know
what you want to do, and...
- Okay.
- How we approach this.
[festive music]
* *
- Mama?
- You know what, my love?
You're gonna go play
with your brother upstairs.
I ordered you some pizza.
- I know you did.
That's why I'm serving it
to the girls.
I'm gonna tell them.
We're just gonna have
some girls over,
and then Mommy's
gonna come right upstairs,
and we're gonna be together.
Okay, my baby?
So, Ash...
- Yeah.
- I'm really excited
to see the girls.
Sutton--you know,
after Palm Springs, she said,
"You know, it's really urgent.
Can we all meet at your house?"
I said, "Okay. Absolutely."
Don't really know what--
you know, what she's gonna say
or what, but I think
that it is important
that we kind of have
a conversation.
- Oh, cute.
Oh, how sweet!
- Oh, my gosh.
- Hi, my love.
- Hi, my baby.
- I have a little something,
just a little something fun.
- Lisa, that's--
I love panettone!
- Yay.
- How do you say it?
- "Pan-e-tohn"?
- "Pan-e-tohn," okay, so--
- "Pan-e-tohn," I think.
I don't know.
- Well, "panettone,"
in Italian.
Come, let me get you a drink.
What you want to drink, baby?
- I would like Belvedere,
a little on the medium,
stronger, side.
- You, my love, are gonna get
a Gucci glass.
- Hi.
- Hi, Crystal.
- Oh, my God, you guys
look so pretty.
- Oh, my God!
- You didn't have
to bring me anything.
- Well, it's Christmas.
- That is so sweet.
You guys, thank you.
I've literally did
such an impromptu.
You guys, I grabbed
whatever's in my refrigerator.
- Oh, my God.
- We are expecting nothing.
Please.
There is no casual bone
in Dorit's body.
- So the first four people
that come
are gonna get the Gucci glass.
- This is the hosting version
of, "Oh, this old thing?"
- Crystal, what do you want
to drink, honey?
- Tequila, on the rocks.
- Hi, guys.
- Oh, you look so pretty.
- You look beautiful.
- Thank you!
- Hi, gorgeous.
- Oh, my God,
you look beautiful.
- You're gorgeous.
- Look at you.
- We're about to sit down,
and you were--
the bartender's
making pretty good drinks.
- What do you want to drink?
- White wine.
- It's so pretty.
Oh, I love it here.
It's so cozy.
I love this couch.
- Oh, my gosh.
- You know, Kyle, last night,
I had put my phone downstairs,
and I went to bed,
and I woke up
and was like, "Hold on."
'Cause usually
I see that stuff.
- Rinna, I can't even begin
to tell you, my shock...
I was just like...
[gasps]
I opened Instagram.
I see Erika's posting pictures
of the alleged mistress
laying on her bed
with sexual text messages
to Tom.
- Hi.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, hi.
- Hi.
- Why hasn't she been
more open with us?
Why doesn't she share this
with us?
- Hi, G.
- Hi, honey.
Thank you for having us.
- What can I get you to drink?
- Oh, I'm okay for now.
Thank you.
- I don't know why
she would post
on Instagram right now,
but I think that so many people
have been thinking
that her divorce is a hoax
that she's letting people know,
"It's not a hoax.
Look what
I have been dealing with."
- Oh, we were just talking
about the--
Erika's post last night.
- I didn't see it.
- Why don't I show you?
- Oh, you didn't see
what she posted last night?
- No.
- Here, I'll show you.
- Oh, my God.
- I wonder when she knew.
I wonder how long she's known
about this kind of like--the
infidelities and everything.
- But I had asked her.
She came to my house,
and I said to her,
"Is there a third party?"
I went to a store,
and this woman who was
a salesperson there said,
"Well, I've seen Tom
at a restaurant
with a blonde girl
that's 60 years old."
- It's possible.
I don't know
who that person is.
- So no third party
on his part.
- Not that I know of.
- Erika wasn't honest with me
about Tom having an affair.
But now, thinking about it,
maybe she's not
telling us everything.
- Yes, and?
- About the loss.
- Well, it was, like,
"I did it, you know,
"and my divorce lawyer
called me and said,
'You have to take that down.
Right away.'"
- Hey.
all: Hi.
- Hello.
- Hi, there.
- So why do you think
she did that?
- Come over here.
We were just talking about--
did you see Erika's post?
- Yes, but I also have a lot
of reservations
about what happened
in La Quinta and what was said.
- Okay.
- I left La Quinta
thinking, "Something's amiss."
And--I'm sorry
I'm jumping into this...
- Go.
- No, you don't need...
- But I just got
to get it out there.
- Do it.
- Get it out.
- Go, girl.
- I think we are being placed
in a bad position.
Well, I think
that we have heard stories
that to me, don't add up.
[percussive music]
I left yesterday
very concerned.
And then I started thinking,
and my alarms went off,
and red flags
started flying everywhere.
I'm like, "What have we gotten
ourselves into?"
- So what are you saying?
- That basically sounds like
you're saying,
"I don't believe you, Erika,
and I think you're guilty."
- That was my question.
- I have questions.
I am not sure how much I want
to be around my friend
during this time.
[dramatic music]
- Next time on
"The Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills"...
- Look at this guy.
He's like,
that macaroni and cheese.
- That Grandma made.
- Yeah, Granny.
- Okay,
we're not gonna say "Granny."
[laughter]
- The question is,
did Erika know
about these things,
or did she not?
- I don't think that ignorance
is an excuse.
- If Erika were to walk
into this door right now...
- I'd say exactly
the same thing.
- Hi.
- Oh, hey, guys.
- You guys, are you really
that afraid of me?
- No, I--
- I'm not sure you believe
that Erika's not involved.
- Why is the paper saying that
$20 million went into your LLC?
- Did you know any of this?
