Erika Jayne opens up about past abusive relationship shocking fans

Erika Jayne shared on a recent episode of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" that she has experienced domestic violence. In a discussion with Denise Richards, she revealed this personal aspect while addressing Richards' own allegations.

Jayne's Personal Revelation

During a conversation with Sutton Stracke and Denise Richards, Jayne clarified that the incident did not involve any of her former husbands. She admitted it was a recent occurrence and noted the difficulties in dealing with such situations multiple times before deciding it was not for her.

Coping with Domestic Violence

Jayne expressed the challenge of being a mother to a police officer and having to report the incident to authorities. Her son, Thomas "Tommy" Zizzo Jr., serves as a sergeant in the Los Angeles Police Department. She emphasized that moving on from the situation was essential for her.

Reflecting on Relationships

In a confessional interview, Jayne elaborated that the relationship initially seemed enjoyable but eventually became chaotic after several months. Jayne was previously married to Thomas Zizzo and later Tom Girardi, though they remain legally married despite filing for divorce in 2020.

The revelation came during discussions with Richards about her own issues involving ex-husband Aaron Phypers, who filed for divorce after allegations of violence surfaced. The legal proceedings between Richards and Phypers continue following their split after six years of marriage.
