Real Housewives star Erika Jayne: ‘I've learned to remain calm while others are screaming and yelling. Exposure equals composure'
Singer and reality TV star Erika Jayne talks about the hard lessons of realities of life on screen, starting over after her estranged husband Tom Girardi's jailing and feeling fab at 53
'I mean, honestly, it's probably one of the best chapters of my life, because it's mine,' Erika Jayne says of her life now with a smile. The reality TV star has appeared on my computer screen immaculately turned out in her signature look; long blonde hair flowing over her shoulders, make-up flawless. The day before, she appeared at the London Festival Mighty Hoopla LGBTQ+ music event. 'It felt amazing. What an incredible crowd,' Jayne says of the concert, which was her biggest so far.
