Erika Jayne
Erika Jayne (also known as Erika Girardi) is an American singer, reality TV star, and actor. She’s best known for her vivacious presence on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and for her music, starting with her debut in 2007, when her single “Roller Coaster” soared to the apex of the U.S. Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. Erika’s debut album, Pretty Mess, unveiled in 2009, was a testament to her burgeoning musical prowess, with singles like “Painkillr” and “How Many Fucks” further embellishing her discography.
Venturing into acting, Erika manifested her versatility with minor roles in TV shows and films during the early ’90s. A noteworthy chapter was her participation in NBC’s Law & Order, portraying distinct characters in two episodes. However, reality television was where Erika’s flamboyance shone brightly, especially upon joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2015, alongside Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Yolanda Hadid, Eileen Davidson, and Lisa Rinna. Her dalliance with acting rekindled in 2019 when she was cast as Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of Chicago, albeit briefly due to the pandemic’s intervention. Moreover, Erika guest-starred in The Young and The Restless, sharing screen time with her fellow Real Housewife, Eileen Davidson.
