Erika Girardi, the dance pop star known as Erika Jayne, is set to make her reality TV debut on tonight's episode of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," People reported. Girardi is the latest addition to the season six cast, and she credits her best friend and "RHOBH" co-star Yolanda Foster with persuading her to join.
"Yolanda has a wonderful way of persuasion," Girardi tells People about Foster's influence. "I'm always interested in stepping out of my comfort zone, trying new things and really stretching and getting the most out of life. So, why not?"
Girardi introduces herself to the cast during episode three. In a new sneak peek of tonight's episode, Girardi's first scene opens with the 44-year-old singer driving to dance rehearsal in a sleek black sports car.
"By day, I'm Erika Girardi, married to Tom Girardi (uber famous lawyer). But by night, I'm something else," Girardi says in her on-camera interview. "I have an alter ego, her name is Erika Jayne. She's sassy, she's class and a-- and heels, all woman all the time and curvy. She's over-the-top fabulous."
In the clip, Girardi arrives at her rehearsal studio and tries on her new stage outfits, which include a super-sexy sheer cat suit with dark paneling to cover her intimate parts.
She explains that in her music career, she's earned eight number one hits on Billboard dance club charts, including her songs "Rollercoaster," "Stars" and "Painkllr." She's also performed around the world in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and in major U.S. cities.
"Erika Jayne is a total rebel," she says. "If I don't honor my inner bad girl, I'm not going to be happy."
Watch the sneak peek below, and be sure to catch the next episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," airing Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
