How Did Real Housewife Erika Jayne’s Ex Tom Girardi Get So Rich?

Here’s a story that will raise even the most Botoxed of eyebrows, and it starts with Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Erika Jayne.

Before we go further... are you new here? Here's a quick refresher:

Welcome to SCAMDALOUS, a new series where anyone is fair game to our host and TikTok icon Serena Shahidi (aka @glamdemon2004) — from fraudsters, to swindlers, to scammers, to girlbosses, and everyone in between. SCAMDALOUS originally began over on @BullishStudio's TikTok, but now we're bringing the series over to Beehiiv to give you even more SCAMDALOUS — and more Serena — content in your inbox.

Now, let's continue!

Erika Jayne was born in Georgia in 1971 and moved to New York City at 18, where she got a job at a strip club, played a couple small Law & Order roles, got married, and then got divorced — really the whole New York experience.

In the mid-90s, Erika wanted to pursue her dream of becoming a pop star, so she moved to LA, where she met Thomas Girardi while working at a restaurant.
