The Hot Seat
The Housewife spills on her Las Vegas residency and herRHOBHcastmates.
Erika Jayne is squarely in her redemption era.
I felt like I couldnt catch a break, Erika tells Bustle of the criticism.
Its been quite ugly.
(Unfortunately, her relationship with Denise Richards isnt quite as rosy.
(Its also available to stream on Hayu in the UK.)
Capturing this journey on film means that whole experience will live forever, she says now.
Its not just a memory.
I get to relive it.
What was the most challenging part of your Vegas residency?
The hardest part was the preparation.
We had a short amount of time to rehearse and only two days to practice in the actual theater.
Whats your favorite song to perform?
I would say Xxpensive.
I associate it with a certain moment in time.
Im also really fond of my earlier material, like Painkillr.
Performing those songs is very personal and rewarding for me.
Some of yourRHOBHcastmates stopped by your residency.
Myself, Kyle, Dorit [Kemsley], and Lisa Rinna all flew to Vegas together on Southwest.
It was the first time we had done something together without cameras or producers around.
Im not really concerned about what they think about my show.
Im not performing for my castmates.
Im doing this for me.
As for Denises comment, thats just part of the game.
Its part of the show.
Ill address that when and if she comes back.
Tell me about your conflict with Denise at Kyles THC dinner party.
I did not know what she was talking about, and I dont think she did either.
I remember sitting there thinking, What is going on?
She could not get point her point across.
Would you like to see Denise or any former Housewives return?
Its always fun to see people pop back up.
Lisa Rinna is off being an actress again, and I think thats wonderful for her.
Im not sure if returning full-time ever really happens onBeverly Hills.
this year you expressed disappointment in how theRHOBHcast responded to your legal situation.
I didnt want the group as a whole to rush to judgment, but they did.
Some of their reactions were influenced by the news and social media.
Certain cast members pay more attention to fans online than others.
Theyd rather lean into what social media is saying as opposed to having an independent point of view.
you could probably work out who they are.
Youve been on the show for eight seasons now.
Whats your most iconicRHOBHmoment?
I really dont know.
Ill make a passing comment during filming and they randomly stick out to the audience.
right now it was Merce is in the purse on the Barcelona trip.
Who wouldve thoughtthatwouldve become a standout moment?
Are there any moments from filming you wish had made it on the show?
This interview was edited and condensed for clarity.
