Erika Jayne shed some light on her decision to file for divorce from her estranged husband Tom Girardi.
On Wednesday's episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," the 49-year-old reality star told her fellow castmates, "My life drastically changed this week."
"I let go of my Lamborghini, I let go of my 16,000 square foot home, I let go of my marriage, I let go of everything. I literally made a decision that I had to," she said.
Jayne filed for divorce in November 2020 after 21 years of marriage to the once-renowned trial lawyer.

"I left because he pushed me further and further out," the performer expressed in her confessional. "The conversations that I used to have were now reduced down to a sentence or two. I just kept walking around that house and knowing that this marriage was headed down a really s—ty path. I had to make a choice to do what was right for me. I couldn’t live that way anymore."

Jayne told the other women she purposely kept them in the dark to protect them.
"It would put you in a bad position to give you information that you had to hold," she explained. "It also doesn’t serve me to talk a lot about what is happening legally — or will happen legally — because I am married to somebody who is very good in that area. … I thought about this and tried and tried and tried to talk and tried to work it out and I was met with such resistance. Such resistance. I can’t do this by myself. I can’t convince someone of anything and so I said, ‘OK, well I have to take this step on my own.’"

Jayne said she moved into a new, smaller rental home and took some furniture with her.
"After finding a place to go to, I dropped Tom off at work and I went home and moved out. So I was out within the day," she said. "It’s frightening, you know, when you think about. It’s the uncertainty and instability of being, really, out of on your own. … Just getting up the courage to leave is a big deal. This was my home for over 21 years."
