Erika Jayne on Rumors She Used Ozempic to Get Ready for Vegas Show (Exclusive)
“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne got real with “Extra” in Las Vegas as she kicked off her steamy residency show “Bet It All on Blonde.”
Jayne, 52, dished on what fans can expect and reacted to rumors she used Ozempic to slim down for the stage. She also teased what’s in store for “RHOBH”!
Opening up about “Bet It All on Blonde,” Erika said, “The last three years… have been really tough, and I pulled it together and here it is. I made lemonade out of lemons, man.”
Her ex-husband Tom Girardi, 84, faces 20 years in prison after he was indicted for fraud.
Erika shared, “You have to look at struggles as either one of two things: you’re either going to meet it or you’re going to run away from it. And I chose to meet it head-on and walk through that fire, and it led me here.”
Jayne, who is sizzling onstage, said of her show, “It’s about fantasy, love, escape, glitz, glamour, and fun. Nothing more.”
“Last night was about a rebuild, a rebirth, and a return, truly, to the stage on my own terms,” she said proudly. “This is my show. It’s on my shoulders. It feels good. It’s heavy, but it feels good.”
