Erika Jayne opened up about a past abuse experience during a recent episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” and new details about the situation have now surfaced.
The 54-year-old reality star spoke about the incident while discussing domestic violence with her co-stars Denise Richards and Sutton Stracke on the Bravo series. The conversation was prompted by Denise’s claims regarding alleged abuse by her estranged husband Aaron Phypers.
Weeks after the episode aired, a new report revealed additional information about an incident that reportedly occurred at Erika’s Los Angeles home.
Report Reveals Details About Erika Jayne’s Alleged Abuse Incident
According to a March 10 report from TMZ, police responded to Erika Jayne’s Los Angeles home on September 20, 2024.
The outlet reported that authorities were called after a man described as a friend of Erika allegedly entered the home, went into a bedroom, and refused to leave the property.
At the time, officers took a domestic violence report connected to the situation.
The report also clarified that the alleged suspect was not one of Erika’s former husbands. Erika was previously married to Thomas Zizzo and later to attorney Thomas “Tom” Girardi, whom she separated from in November 2020.
Since that split, Erika has been publicly linked to several people, including attorney James “Jim” Wilkes in 2023, trainer Keith Hodges in 2024, and “Summer House” cast member Jesse Solomon in 2025.
The RHOBH Star Reveals Why She Shared Her Story
After revealing her experience on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Erika addressed the moment again during the show’s After Show.
Erika said she chose to speak about the situation because of the conversation taking place among the cast.
“I spoke of having encountered something like that,” Erika said.
“A lot of time had passed, and me opening up that night, I wouldn’t have done it had it not been someone that I knew doing it as well.”
Erika also acknowledged that discussing such experiences publicly can be difficult.
“Certain things are very delicate and you don’t necessarily reveal them in the moment,” Erika explained.
She said she had concerns about how the story might be received.
“I don’t know how it’s gonna be received,” Erika said.
“The reason I didn’t bring it up at all is because how much more can I take, and how much more sh*t is it gonna open up?”
Erika added that reactions to stories about abuse can be unpredictable.
“There’s gonna be people that support you and people that go, ‘you f**king deserved it.’ ‘You’re lying.’”
New episodes of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 15 air Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
