Erika Jayne believed that her estranged husband, Tom Girardi, was unwell for years following a disastrous 2017 car wreck.
The reality star, 50, made the shocking revelation during a group dinner at Kyle Richards’ home on Wednesday’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” confessing to the women that she did not tell them the truth about the accident that left Girardi, now 82, unconscious for 12 hours.
“He had a head injury, and he broke his shoulder, snapped his ankle and broke his clavicle,” she said. “He drove off a cliff.”
The singer then claimed to have found evidence that Girardi was cheating on her around the same time that her friend and former “RHOBH” co-star Yolanda Hadid divorced David Foster.
While she did not have the strength to leave him at the time, Jayne ultimately filed for divorce from Girardi in November 2020.
The former “Chicago” star told Richards in a previous episode that she felt she had no choice but to end the marriage after seeing Girardi “degrading” before her eyes and refusing to get help. She believed he had trouble seeing, among other problems.
Girardi is now under a conservatorship due to what his family described in court documents as a “major neurocognitive disorder.”
