Sutton Stracke isn’t buying what Erika Jayne is selling.
On the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Sutton made it known that she doesn’t believe Erika’s claims that she didn’t know anything about her estranged husband Tom Girardi’s legal woes.
“I don’t think ignorance is an excuse,” Sutton told co-stars Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais, Dorit Kemsley, Kathy Hilton, and Crystal Kung Minkoff in a sit-down.
“I just don’t when she’s so smart” she added. “You’ve gotta choose: Are you gonna be smart or are you gonna be blissful?”
She stressed that she doesn’t want to be involved in any of the negative press about Erika and Tom in fear of what it might do to her own reputation.
Later on, Sutton and several of the ladies grilled Erika about the $25 million Tom allegedly put into her company EJ Global. The ladies wondered if Erika knew where the money was coming from. The money was allegedly stolen from Tom’s clients.
“I have several LLCs,” Sutton said. “If that money did go in there, it seems you would notice maybe or question that.”
“I was kept away from the books,” Erika replied.
“Even your own LLCs?” Sutton pressed on. “That would make me insane.”
Erika went on to say that she thinks Tom’s actions could be a result of his declining health. In late 2020, Tom was diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimers. He is currently under a conservatorship run by his younger brother, Robert Girardi.
“I think what has happened to Tom here is that he’s not mentally capable, and he’s in sole control of his firm,” she said. “And I think that it got away from him.”
