Erika Jayne is currently not fond of Jon Hamm. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star expressed her anger towards the actor months after he criticized her for wearing $750,000 worth of earrings. During her appearance on the "No Filter with Zack Peter" podcast on Monday, October 30, Jayne, aged 52, mentioned Hamm as she discussed her recent legal victory.
"I have emerged victorious in my appeal. It's like Jon Hamm, you know. They were never yours, so screw you. I prevailed in the appeal," the RHOBH star declared. "You have no idea what you're talking about. Those jewels were never truly yours, huh? Well, an appellate judge stated otherwise. Or at the very least, they couldn't prove that they weren't mine. And that brought me great satisfaction."
Throughout season 12 of RHOBH, Jayne's diamond earrings become a prominent storyline as she expresses uncertainty about returning the $750,000 jewelry that was gifted to her by her estranged husband Tom Girardi, who allegedly obtained the funds unlawfully. (Following their separation in 2020, the former couple faced numerous lawsuits involving Girardi's mishandling of clients' funds.)
The author of The Pretty Mess faced criticism on the show from Crystal Kung Minkoff and Kyle Richards, who believed that Jayne's decision to keep the earrings displayed a lack of empathy for the clients affected by Girardi's misconduct. In September 2022, Hamm shared his thoughts on the earring controversy during his appearance on "The Howard Stern" show.
"Expressing his frustration, the 52-year-old star of Top Gun: Maverick stated, 'I just want to shake her and say, Honey, those were never yours — give them back.' Confused about the value of the earrings, he pondered, 'Are they worth $750,000 in total or is it $750,000 per earring? Give them back.'
During a June interview on the Today show, Hamm confirmed his status as a devoted Bravo viewer by admitting that he also tunes in to The Real Housewives of New Jersey and Vanderpump Rules."
Other A-list celebrities also shared their thoughts on Jayne's attitude during season 12. Jennifer Lawrence subtly criticized the reality star last year, stating that RHOBH was not having a "great season." In an interview with Variety in September 2022, Lawrence expressed her biggest issue with the season, calling it "boring." She also went as far as to describe Erika as evil and suggested that she urgently needed a publicist.
Jayne retaliated by extending an invitation to Lawrence, aged 33, to appear on the show.
"I mean, it's just so convenient to pass judgment on individuals when they're at their most vulnerable, dealing with real-life issues on live television," Jayne expressed on Watch What Happens Live during the same month. "However, if she ever decides to join us and engage in a lively discussion, I'm confident we could expose the unsightly aspects of her character."
