RHOBH: Erika Jayne Calls The Housewives Format A ‘Setup’

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne has stirred up fresh drama while discussing a lie detector test, which the girls from The Real Housewives of Orange County took at Emily Simpson’s party. Jayne was quick to point out that the show, for the most part, is a setup. The shocking remark made by the former RHOBH alum has left fans bewildered.

The comment came after Katie Ginella from RHOC failed the lie detector test. This eventually led her to believe it was a setup. Erika Jayne called out the nature of the Housewives franchise. She revealed that the producers plan much of what happens on the show behind the scenes to create drama and conflict. Fans now wonder how real reality TV really is.

RHOBH: Erika Jayne Shows Off Her Ultra-Glam Home In Stunning New Photos

RHOBH’s Erika Jayne is never afraid to show off her glamorous lifestyle, and her recent home photos justify that. Posing inside her “little Spanish bungalow,” Erica looked stunning in a chic shirt dress styled by Morgan Pinney, paired with a sleek updo by Ruslan Nureev and flawless glam by Elizabeth Seropian. While her looks were on point, fans couldn’t help noticing the elegant details of her living room in the background. 

Designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the house perfectly demonstrates Erika’s bold and unapologetic style. A plush Coco Republic sofa, a shaggy Ruggable rug, a brass Corbett light fixture, and dramatic full-height drapery set the tone for her lavish style. The circular coffee table added a modern angle, creating a perfect blend of comfort and sophistication. Erika began redecorating during RHOBH Season 14, marking a new chapter in her life following her split from Tom Girardi.

RHOBH: Erika Jayne Blasts The Housewives World As A ‘Setup’

Erika Jayne from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has once again found herself at the center of the drama. This time, she shared her thoughts on the latest drama with RHOC’s Katie Ginella, including the lie detector test. Jayne discussed the incident on the podcast Two T’s In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp.

Teddi explained, Jenn tells them that Katie thinks this was all a setup, pausing to add, “This setup thing, though, I don’t like…” Erika was quick to speak up, saying, “The whole show’s a setup, you fool. What part of this are you just coming to realize? The whole f*cking thing is a setup.” Her bold comments stem from her own experience on the show, where even well-known stars can encounter challenges that impact their image.

Erika had earlier noted that reality TV is tough and certainly not for the faint of heart. She highlighted the pressures cast members face behind the cameras. Irrespective of the gravity and seriousness of Jayne’s comments, both Teddi and she opened up in a more lighthearted way. “They laughed about the numerous “setups” within the Housewives franchise and poked fun at the ladies of RHOC, often portraying them as inexperienced. They highlighted that longtime cast members know the drama is staged.”

Erika, who looked plainly annoyed, admitted, “I’m really in a bad mood.” Teddi, recalling her recent medical treatment, remarked, “You’re in a bad mood and I’m post-immunotherapy, so we’re a big bag of uppers over here.” They shared an understanding that some of the Housewives’ antics might require a little calm. As Erika suggested, “tranquilizers,” the moment gives a funny yet honest peek at what really goes on behind the scenes of one of TV’s most talked-about shows.
