Erika Girardi has recently opened up about her estranged husband Tom Girardi’s 2017 car accident, which left him “unconscious for 12 hours,” according to PEOPLE.
On Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the 50-year-old told Kyle Richards that she was “respecting Tom’s privacy,” so she did not reveal the details.
Girardi, who filed for divorce from Tom in November after more than two decades of marriage, said, “He crashed and then broke his ankle. As a result of the crash, his ankle was [hurt]. He was also unconscious for 12 hours, but no one knows that.”
“I know because I found him,” Erika said, adding that Tom “had a head injury and he broke his shoulder, snapped his ankle and then broke his clavicle” after driving off a cliff.
Erika recalled that she immediately questioned Tom’s whereabouts when he eventually called her after the accident, assuming that “he was with some other woman.”
Kyle said, “Obviously, that means he was cheating on you.” Erika said, “You guys have no idea what I’ve been living through, no idea what I’ve been through. This is my life.”
The singer also claimed that she “found the evidence” of Tom’s “years-long” affairs through text messages and pictures on his phone. She said, “I knew a lot, because it was so hard to hide and, you know, he was sloppy,” noting that he did not deny the affairs when confronted.
“I really do appreciate you all listening and just understanding,” Erika continued. “And I will be okay, but I am not okay right now.”
After filing the divorce, Erika and Tom have faced major legal troubles. Erika has been accused of conspiring with Tom to hide assets, according to PEOPLE.
