Episode 145: Tom and Erika Girardi - The Housewife and the Hustler Part 2
She's an enigma wrapped in a riddle and cash that has been allegedly taken from the pockets of the victims of tragedy. With her husband and his firm under investigation and his so-called house of cards collapsing, the realest of housewives dropped an election day bombshell - she was filing for divorce. But was it due to years of mistreatment as she said? Or was it really a sham meant to keep her hands on that precious cash to fund her lavish lifestyle? This weeks episode is Tom and Erika Girardi, the hustler and the housewife, part 2.
