RHOBH’s Erika Jayne shows ‘real emotion’ as she sobs over friends leaving after lawsuit, body language expert reveals
REAL Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne was showing "real emotion" as she sobbed over her friends turning on her after she lost her fortune following divorce from Tom Girardi, a body language expert has revealed.
The reality TV star has denied being involved and even knowing about her ex's alleged embezzling of his former legal clients.
"You would be shocked at how quickly people turn on you, how quickly people distance themselves from you, automatically they turn because they don't want to be involved," she told her friend as tears streamed down her face," she said.
"They were there when it was good though."
The 50-year-old housewife then proceeded to wipe the tip of her nose with her hand and look down before looking into the distance, shaking her head.
"Her speech patterns line up with her body language and there don't seem to be any overtly forced gestures that would indicate some form of untruthfulness."
Margaret J. King, Ph.D., director at , supported Lee's comments and added: "She’s actually responding genuinely to the memory, for two reasons: she looks down as she’s visualizing it and she’s wiping her nose because the runny nose is an involuntary response.
"What's most interesting to me, though, is that the main emotion I'm seeing isn't sadness – it's anger," he said.
"The slow head shake at the end and the firm tone in her voice as she delivers her remarks sounds like those coming from a woman who isn't necessarily breaking down and sad about what's happening, but one who is expressing genuine anger at the situation.
The star insisted , adding: “They're suing the firm and I’m being attached to it. I don’t know what happens from here. Some very bad things could happen.”
In a confessional, Erika said: “I don’t know why I would be named in the lawsuit I have nothing to do with it.”
She told her co-stars: “I’ve got more lawyers than I can f**king afford.”
Erika added in a confessional: “To be out here on your own and to have millions of dollars of lawsuits pointed at you is heavy.”
She then broke down in tears while talking to Kyle and Lisa as she said: “I didn’t do this!”
