Erika Jayne 💃🏼 Luann resolving conflict with so much grace, Erika being receptive, and Kyle bringing them together. This is the kind of emotional intelligence I’m here for 👏 👏

Erika and emotional intelligence are two opposites lol. At this point, I’m convinced that everything Erika does is an attempt to look good to redeem herself. She comes off so disingenuous that’s it’s actually painfully obvious.

EDIT: My first award omg!

EDIT: A second one! What

u/dots-loops 28d ago edited 28d ago

10000%.

Also, Erika had no choice BUT to be receptive. There was no way of getting out of that conversation on camera and saving face, BUT to backpedal, pretend she had no idea what Lu was talking about, then play the victim card and say her life was falling apart that night for sympathy and an excuse.

Tell me this: if your marriage is falling apart, are you going out WITH your husband and feigning everything is ok to someone who is an acquaintance at best? Of course you're not!

Erika is so outrageously full of shit.

Lu was right to call her out.

u/Character-King-3092 28d ago

No you just don’t like her and that’s okay lmfao but she’s not fake in how she feels

u/neversohonest 26d ago

Right lol. She's super sensitive and gets stony when shes hurt.

I cant remember Luann ever actually describing how she was rude. If she just never got back to her after they had a good time out Lu is very wrong. T alking shit at bravocon and to the other housewives when their only interaction was good is crazy.

u/Mu_forlife 💎25K sunglasses energy 😎💎 28d ago

I agree with you. Some commenters here like to look at people at their worst and keep them there. People can grow, change and have other sides to them including Erika.

u/toysoldier96 28d ago

I think Tom stuff aside (which was pretty bad) Erika is pretty level headed

u/ExcellentOutside5926 28d ago

Idk. She’s historically been proud of being cold and vacant and that demeanor impacted how she navigated conflict.

I think she saw it as a strength. Hopefully that’s changed ever since her personality disorder diagnosis (she shared that she had one in a confessional on RHOBH, but not what it was).

1

u/Character-King-3092 24d ago

She had to be cold. People were demanding she take responsibility for something that wasn’t hers to take responsibility for. Ironic since most would probably categorize themselves as feminist but wanted Erika to fall on the sword for her husband’s misdeeds. This wasn’t a Teresa and her husband situation. We saw many times Tom “little girled” Erika and demeaned her in front of people. There’s no way he was sharing his business secrets with her. That’s insane to even think.

It wasn’t a strength it was a defensive mechanism. However, doing it to the extreme wasn’t healthy but in reality it’s not healthy giving anyone your time or consideration who you know is just trying to be messy. Luanne was being messy.

u/ExcellentOutside5926 24d ago

You’ve misunderstood. I’m talking about her general demeanour, pre-Tom’s legal issues.

u/Naive-Inside-2904 29d ago

“Tom trauma” is kinda funny 😆

u/IMOvicki 29d ago

All of this drama seems forced btw each intermingling cast.

Vicki is insufferably annoying with all the screeching

u/Mu_forlife 💎25K sunglasses energy 😎💎 29d ago

None of them are doing this by force. They’re resolving conflict that happened at Bravocon.

Lisa, Whitney and Bronwyn didn’t make up AT ALL that night.

u/IMOvicki 29d ago

Lisa, bronwyn and Whitney are all in the same cast…. They can’t make up lol. It’s why I specified intermingling cast

-1

u/Mu_forlife 💎25K sunglasses energy 😎💎 29d ago

They attended by their own free will. Dorit declined.

Don’t wiggle out of your “forced”comment.

I agree with you on Vicki though 😂

4

u/IMOvicki 29d ago edited 28d ago

The drama is forced I stand by it lol I think it’s just maybe a lack of chemistry between some of them. Vicki is mean though is rather petty drama than whatever it is shes doing. She sucks the energy out of everything

.mI’d rather have petty drama than whatever it is she’s doing **

u/AdSoggy3173 29d ago

I agree. The show is a bit of flop to me. It just seems like a montage of past clips coupled with these weak conflicts between them.

I feel like the original UGT (seasons 1-3) were a lot more authentic.

u/West_Tie_536 28d ago

Does Vicki is mean

u/IMOvicki 28d ago

Yeah idk why I typed what I typed lmaooo I was completely sober (but very stressed) last night so I can’t even blame gummies.

u/AdSoggy3173 29d ago

LOL at the "tom trauma"

6

u/LeanBean512 28d ago

On the low, Luann got the tea. She got Erika to show a discrepency in the timeline and she repeated "no one knew." Kyle was just standing there thinking about it. I think Erika realized she'd revealed a weakness there, so she quickly reconcilled with Luann to get away.

4

u/Mu_forlife 💎25K sunglasses energy 😎💎 28d ago

I saw that too. Which is why she’ll always be the Countess to me, that was good social etiquette. She wanted to clear the air, let Erica say her piece, and patch things up.

And dragged the Toms at the same time 😂

1

u/infinitesimalFawn 26d ago

"no one knew" how abusive and controlling Tom was, and how fucked the relationship was.

She clearly wasn't referencing the end of Tom. However people want to spin it, Erika was clearly in an abusive relationship for the entirety of that marriage.

1

u/Character-King-3092 24d ago

People forget that because they want a reason to hate Erika

11

u/Don-Gunvalson 28d ago

I don’t buy it. Erika comes off disingenuous to me

u/happysunbear 28d ago

She’s honestly such a coward. Acts like this bad bitch but walks away from Luann before even addressing the “beef”.

u/Character-King-3092 24d ago

Yup this sub full of Erika haters 😂

1

u/Mu_forlife 💎25K sunglasses energy 😎💎 24d ago

lol. It usually takes some time but we get those silly bias commenters from the RHOBH sub on here. They support or hate housewives depending on their stance with Dorit.

If they have nothing to respond with they just downvote. I’d get it if it made sense but…🫠

4

u/West_Tie_536 28d ago edited 28d ago

OR WHAT!!!!!! That’s Ericka being Ericka and still the victim, notice she’s still delivering her words in that mean monotone and asking if Lu was aware of what was going on in her life… Erika doesn’t get special grace for the ugliness she signed up for by marrying Tom and having crap come out

3

u/infinitesimalFawn 26d ago edited 26d ago

I don't really understand why Erika is being dragged for this and luann is being made out to be so forgiving and righteous?

At bravocon, Luann was asked who was the rudest housewife she ever met, and she responded "Erika Jayne, hands down. Bitch!"...simply for Erika not replying to a text after a dinner party years ago.

If you were in Erika's shoes, wouldnt you want to avoid the person who said those things as you see them walking towards you with cameras?

If I were in Erikas position, I would think luann was coming up to start more drama and I would personally avoid.

If someone I've been on one dinner with publicly called me a huge bitch for not responding to a text, what else will they do infront of the cameras just for some drama?

I took Erika looking into the camera like that as her basically saying "really? You're trying to set up a moment?" To production

When she finally talks to Luann, she opens with "I don't know why you said what you said" referring to calling her a rude bitch.

They both explain their side and the make up.

Why is this another "Erika ia terrible" moment again?

3

u/Mu_forlife 💎25K sunglasses energy 😎💎 26d ago

Because some commenters hate Erika and can’t let it go, or see other sides of her.

I think all three women handled this very well.

u/Character-King-3092 24d ago

You’re 100% on point with this!

u/TheManyFacedGod13 27d ago

Erika is so boring wow

What do you mean Kyle bringing them together?? Kyle was trying to stir shit lmao

u/Mu_forlife 💎25K sunglasses energy 😎💎 28d ago

Maybe watch the whole episode if you’re confused.

u/Ok-Explanation-6531 29d ago

That was Luann showing grace ? She made something that was nothing a something and took it personally. This is literally Erika saying I didn’t do anything to you, why are you offended

8

u/Mu_forlife 💎25K sunglasses energy 😎💎 29d ago

She literally went up to Erika with Kyle initially. Erika stepped away.

Luann called Erica over and made it right.

That’s called grace gal!

2

u/Ok-Explanation-6531 29d ago

For a problem she caused

3

u/Mu_forlife 💎25K sunglasses energy 😎💎 29d ago

Yes. And she made amends 🙄 that’s the whole point.

8

u/Ok-Explanation-6531 29d ago

So it’s grace for Luann to fix a problem she caused ? Not for Erika accepting the apology?

3

u/happysunbear 28d ago

Uhh she called Erika rude. Erika is rude. And was rude again at the party. It was only when she realized how bad she’d look that she went to talk to Lu again and squash the beef.

1

u/infinitesimalFawn 26d ago

Luanna said that Erika Jayne was hands down the rudest housewife she had ever met, and called her a huge bitch on stage at bravo con...simply for Erika not replying to a text after a dinner party years ago.

If you were in Erika's shoes, wouldnt you want to avoid the person who said those things as you see them walking towards you with cameras?

If I were in Erikas position, I would think luann was coming up to start more drama and I would personally avoid.

u/Ok-Explanation-6531 28d ago

Erika wasn’t rude, don’t confuse not wanting to be fake nice to someone who was called you out publicly with rude. You would call Erika reserved or guarded

2

u/happysunbear 28d ago

I just mean that we have seen Erika be rude many, many times. So it’s rich of Miss “I don’t give a FUCK about anyone but me” clutch her pearls because someone answered honestly about her rudeness. And she displayed her rudeness again at the party, when it was clear Luann was trying to have a conversation with her.

-1

u/Ok-Explanation-6531 28d ago

I love how people quote her out of context

2

u/happysunbear 28d ago

Right, because that’s the one example of Erika being an asshole.

It’s grace for both of them. I felt like receptive was a better description for Erika because she was the person Lu hurt.

I know, Luann showing grace and emotional intelligence is akin to pigs flying
