Certain members of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast believe that Erika Jayne may have been working under the influence of Lisa Rinna in her recent verbal attack against Denise Richards.
After Erika mentioned Denise’s daughter Sami Sheen‘s OnlyFans account amid a tense fight on the show, Sutton Stracke, 52, and Garcelle Beauvais, 57, were asked if they felt Erika was swayed to act a certain way towards Denise, 52, as Erika defended her comments, noting that she didn’t expose anything already shared as she called out Denise’s “hypocrisy.”
“Lisa’s a force to be reckoned with and I think sometimes when your friends have your back, they can be a little bit more vocal, they feel stronger with your friend around. So yeah, I do,” Garcelle admitted on the January 3 episode of the RHOBH: After Show as Sutton agreed.
Then, after Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 40, shaded Erika’s Only Fans diss as a “low blow,” Dorit Kemsley, 47, said she was glad to see that Denise was “finally” able to say what she was upset about, which was a comment Erika made about threesomes at her barbecue years ago.
“We didn’t realize [the threesome comment] was a big deal,” Dorit explained. “She said. ‘You guys, keep it down because my kids are at the other table.’ Everyone was engaged in the conversation and I don’t remember who brought it up. I think It may have been Rinna, or Garcelle.”
“So do you feel like Erika is unfairly targeted by Denise?” Crystal replied.
“I think it’s a process of elimination.” Dorit reasoned. “I think Erika is the last man standing of the people she’s mad at. But I think, yes I understand if she’s got hurt feelings, it just would be nice to see her be able to articulate what those hurt feelings are. Because then at least they can both move past it.”
In her own RHOBH: After Show segment, Erika reflected on her face-off with Denise.
“Everyone should know that all things are on the table. I’m not talking about something that’s hidden. I’m talking about something that’s in the open in regards to the OnlyFans,” she emphasized.
According to Erika, Denise’s antics spoke “to the hypocrisy of the way Denise treated me at her own barbecue years ago.” After all, as Erika signaled, Denise stated that her husband Aaron Phypers had a “big d*ck” at the same barbecue.
“Clearly their kids and everybody’s child at this point, more or less, knows you cannot get away from these things is what I was trying to say. That’s what I was trying to say years ago and that’s what I’m saying again tonight,” Erika clarified.
But Sutton and Garcelle shared differing sentiments.
“Is it hypocrisy, the way you and I talk if our kids are in the room, we’re not gonna have the same conversation?” Garcelle asked.
“Hell no,” Sutton replied.
“I think that’s where Denise was coming from. I don’t think it was being a hypocrite. Being a mom, you’re not gonna talk about that stuff around your kids,” Garcelle continued.
In closing, Sutton suspected Denise “harbored resentment against Erika,” potentially due to Erika’s closeness to Lisa, 60.
“She was insinuating that Lisa Rinna was the one that had guided Erika to behave in this way towards Denise,” Sutton added.
