When the Watch What Happen Live host inquired, “Did you ask Tom if he did it?” Erika, 50, immediately was overcome with emotion. 

She broke down but answered: “I asked him why he would leave me with all these lawsuits directed at me. 

“Andy, he doesn’t even acknowledge anything. None of it. It doesn’t even matter what he says because he is incompetent.”

Appearing to cry even harder, she added: “So I’m left holding the f**king bag. 

“He’s not capable of understanding it when I’ve pressed. And I probably shouldn’t even be telling you that.”

Both Andy, 53, and her costars appeared both shocked and worried at the admission.

While she said his deteriorating health is "very sad," she also expressed anger towards Tom, 82, for his various legal scandals.

She furiously yelled: “I’ve asked him how he could put me in this position.

"I asked ‘Why would you leave me with millions of dollars of lawsuits pointed at me?'”

Also on tonight's explosive reunion episode, the Pretty Mess singer revealed she still talks to her husband, Tom, who "calls her everyday."

“I just wanted to make sure he was safe,” the Georgia native said as she wiped away her tears.

“Because after the pictures came out, he looked so bad that I just wanted to make sure he was in the right place.”

She was referring to photos that emerged over the Summer of the former power attorney looking frail while appearing to have a black eye.

Earlier this season, Erika revealed Tom's brother, Robert, had been appointed his conservator due to the ex lawyer's dementia.

'HAVING A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN'

After sharing his family's plans to put him in a senior home, Erika made it clear that she did not support the idea.

She said: “I’m ready to have a nervous breakdown because regardless of what is going on with him legally, this is someone I was married to for 22 years.”

Erika said she “doesn’t agree” that Tom needs to be put in a home, explaining: “My grandmother was put into a home. She had very bad dementia.”

After noting that her grandmother was the “most beloved” person in her life, the RHOBH star continued: “This is a very difficult thing because I watched my grandmother die and to see this happen here again.”

Back in August, Tom was spotted at a nursing home as the former high-powered attorney wore an oversized purple sweater and white pants during his outing.

He had his face mask under his chin before putting it back on and after taking in the air and views, Tom re-entered the rest home.

DENYING ALL GUILT

More recently, it was revealed that Tom has been moved to another facility in Burbank, CA.

The RHOBH star filed for divorce from Tom back in November 2020 after about 21 years of marriage.

After their split was confirmed, the former couple was hit with a number of lawsuits.

Despite claiming she was not aware of Tom’s wrongdoings, the Bravo star has found herself at the center of the legal drama.

Erika was accused of “hiding her bank statements," as a trustee's special litigation counsel confirmed that Tom’s law firm transferred about $20 million to her many businesses.

However, she has continued to deny any wrongdoings.
