RHOBH star Erika Jayne opens up about her ‘perfect man’ after divorce from Tom Girardi despite fraud scandal
ERIKA Jayne spoke out about her ideal man as she returns to single life post-divorce from former lawyer Tom Girardi.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recently denied allegations that her ex-husband deposited $20million in her bank account before word of their fraud scandal broke.
Erika, 50, opened up about potential future suitors and what she may be looking for in a man.
The reality star was stopped by while grocery shopping on Wednesday and told the outlet that "everyone knows" what she's looking for in a partner.
She said "every girl likes a guy with money", but explained that intelligence was of huge importance.
Erika said she cared less about looks than mental capacity, but when asked about her age restrictions she said 25 was the youngest she would go.
"Come on," she laughed when asked if there was any age too old for her, as her ex-husband was over 30 years her senior.
Although there has been speculation that the singer has returned to the dating scene, she told the outlet: "Myself. I'm dating myself."

The Atlanta native explained the decline of her marriage in a confessional on RHOBH, saying that Tom "pushed me further and further out."
"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****y path, I had to make a choice to do what was right for me. I couldn't live that way anymore," she told viewers.
Erika also made multiple claims that her ex was unfaithful and regularly cheating.
Despite their split, the TV personality revealed that Tom, 82, still calls her frequently.
TEAR-FILLED REUNION
In the explosive trailer for the fourth and final part of the show's reunion, network boss Andy Cohen asked Erika if she has spoken to Tom.
The weeping housewife wiped tears from her eyes and revealed: "He's called five times today."
Andy continued: "Did you ask if he stole from these people?"
She cried: "It doesn't even matter what he says because he's incompetent. So I'm left holding the f**king bag."
During the questioning, Erika also denied Andy's allegation that Tom "put $20M and more" into her account.
The TV star then begged: "Can somebody please back me the f**k up on what I'm saying?
"It's only in Beverly Hills everyone's so precious. F**k!"
On Wednesday's part three of the RHOBH reunion, Erika answered more tough questions about her current legal scandal.
TENSE INTERROGATION
When Andy mentioned that viewers have felt that she's had "no sympathy" for the victims involved in Tom's fraud case, she became visibly angry on camera.
“I loved my husband, now he’s allegedly defrauding widows, orphans, and burn victims. How the f**k do you think I feel?” she yelled at the Watch What Happens Live host.
When Andy appeared perplexed and asked: “Well, how do you feel?” Erika responded, “Horrible, and I’ve said that!”
However, the group was quick to disagree and collectively shouted “you’ve never said that.”
LEGAL DRAMA
Tom was accused of stealing millions from his clients, including orphans, widows, and burn victims.
