Erika Girardi Slams Uproar Over Her T.J. Maxx Shopping Spree
Erika Girardi is a Maxxinista and she doesn't care who knows it. "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star was spotted shopping at discount retailer T.J. Maxx when one fan called her out on Twitter. "Shopping at TJMAXX.... with your assistant?.... Optics EJ....you are smarter than this.... This NOT winning!," they wrote. Erika didn't seem affected by the remark as she replied, "I shopped there for years. I also went to petco and Target. Stop over analyzing my life."
Things took a slight turn when one fan mentioned a "crisis management team." Erika responded with a vague but telling, "Three words. Waste of money." It seems she is referring to her own team or whoever is helping — or not helping — her deal with the fallout surrounding her legal issues with ex-husband Tom Girardi and the near-constant negative press she is up against. According to Us Weekly, Tom is being sued for allegedly embezzling money from plane crash victims his law firm was representing, but Erika insists she was clueless about the whole ordeal.
Despite the criticism over her personal life, there's one celebrity who is always in her corner. Keep reading for more details.
Erika Girardi has a friend in Meghan McCain
One would think Erika Girardi is only friends with her "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" co-stars, but Meghan McCain is actually in her corner.
McCain took to Instagram on September 1 and wrote, "Team Erika @theprettymess. We love you," adding, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't bother commenting. No one is interested." Erika was clearly touched by her kind words and responded with, "Love you back," followed by multiple red heart emojis. McCain even spread the love with a similar message on Twitter and Erika wrote, "Team @MeghanMcCain always," adding a red heart emoji. If that's not a friend, we're not sure what is.
Erika has also supported McCain during tough times when she was dealing with a Twitter troll in October 2020. "I will fight you," Erika tweeted to a critic and called the former "The View" co-host her "sister." It seems like these two should get together and continue their love fest in person!
