On the recent episode of the ongoing season, Jayne had a meltdown. She was accused of still being in contact with her estranged bankrupt husband, Thomas Girardi. Most of the focus was on Erika Jayne and Thomas’s fraud case. And she afterward stated that she didn’t like the way she was being portrayed.
