Erika Girardi has vowed that her police officer son, Tommy, will never appear on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the same goes for him making any cameos in the audience at Dancing with the Stars. Erika shared that he "will not" appear on the show as she tries to shimmy her way to winning a mirrorball trophy on the competition show as her fierce pop persona Erika Jayne.
She recently spoke to Fox 411 about it, noting that the reason he won't be on the show is "between us." But, you can bet he was been watching his mama's appearances and rooting her on from home until she was eliminated on April 17. He "watches [DWTS] on TV and he lives with me at home. He's like my biggest cheerleader but he will not be attending [DWTS]."
As Erika recently told The Daily Dish, her husband, Tom Girardi, has also been cheering his wife on from the comforts of their living room and is "100 percent supportive, just like he is for Housewives" of her latest gig. "He has the biggest smile and the biggest twinkle in his eye. He couldn't be any sweeter," she added to Fox 411 of her husband's support.
