Erika Jayne claimed her co-star Sutton Stracke “gets into it” with “everybody” on season 13 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and she addressed Denise Richards’ “insane” appearance at an upcoming dinner party when the actress was “yelling” at Erika while the pop singer was “high.”
The “Bet It All On Blonde” performer, who is now preparing for a Las Vegas residency, also gave an update on the “Fox Force Five,” and she addressed how she would feel about Heather Dubrow joining RHOBH.
In an interview with Today, Erika claimed Sutton “kind of gets into it with everybody” this season, but especially “Kyle [Richards].”
She also teased Denise’s appearance at a dinner party, which has been called another ‘Dinner Party from Hell.’
“Honestly, when [Denise] comes to Kyle’s dinner party … I was just so confused at why she was mad at me. Because I hadn’t seen her in like several years. So I was like ‘Denise, I don’t understand what you’re mad at,’ like my whole life has blown apart. I’m not really concerned about what happened four years ago, I don’t remember it,” said Erika. “She was very serious. I couldn’t keep it together, I had no idea what she was talking about. I’m sorry to laugh, but it was just so insane.”
Erika went on, “We were intoxicated [at the time] because the chef cooked with THC, so while Denise is yelling at me, I’m high, so I kept laughing. I was feeling really good. The only thing I was mad about is that she ruined my buzz. Like Denise, stop yelling at me, I’m high, leave me alone.”
She also was asked about the status of her “Fox Force Five” friendship group with Kyle, Dorit Kemsley, Lisa Rinna, and Teddi Mellencamp.
“We’re still friendly, we just haven’t been able to see each other. Everybody’s busy and got pulled in different directions, but we’re still friendly,” said Erika, who then addressed all the criticism concerning the friendship group.
“I just want to say something about the ‘Fox Force Five.’ We lost people (on the cast during Season Nine). We had to make a show out of five people, that was it. When you lose key players, it’s difficult. Never forget, this is entertainment, so we’re looking toward each other, and that’s how we became tight because we had to pull it off. I don’t think people quite understand that,” she explained. “I think that they (fans) think we were being mean girls and shoving everybody else out. The truth is we had to come together to make the trip a success for viewers. That’s what was really going on, it wasn’t like we decided we didn’t like everybody else. We’ve gotten a very bad rap about that, and that’s not true.”
When asked if Erika would want Heather – who recently bought a house in Beverly Hills – to join the RHOBH cast, Erika answered, “She’s great. I’m sure she’d be great on the show.”
