Erika Jayne

Erika Jayne, born Erika Nay Chahoy, is an American singer, television personality, and actress best known for her role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which she joined in Season 6 in 2015. Before her reality TV career, Jayne built a following in the dance music world with club hits like “Roller Coaster,” “Stars,” and “Pretty Mess.” Her music career earned her a dedicated fanbase in the LGBTQ+ community and she became a fixture on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.

Jayne’s personal life became the subject of intense public scrutiny beginning in 2020 when she filed for divorce from high-profile attorney Tom Girardi after 21 years of marriage. The divorce revealed massive financial and legal troubles, as Girardi was accused of embezzling millions of dollars from clients, including the families of plane crash victims. Erika herself faced lawsuits and accusations that she benefited from the allegedly stolen funds, a saga that played out dramatically on RHOBH and in the Hulu documentary The Housewife and the Hustler.

Despite the legal controversies, Jayne continued to appear on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and maintained her entertainment career. She published her memoir, Pretty Mess, in 2018, which detailed her rise from a small-town Georgia girl to a glamorous entertainer. She also had a stint on Broadway, performing in the musical Chicago as Roxie Hart in 2020.

Erika Jayne’s net worth experienced significant fluctuation due to the legal proceedings surrounding her divorce and the Girardi lawsuits. Her current estimated net worth of $5 million reflects the financial impact of ongoing legal matters, though she continues to earn from her Bravo salary, music releases, and personal appearances.
