Erika Girardi Explains Why Tom Is the Real "Diva" at Home: "Ask Around"

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Erika Girardi may be a pop diva when she takes the stage as Erika Jayne, but at home it's husband Tom Girardi who is a bit more high maintenance.

When Denise Richards mentioned her garlic allergy while hanging out with Garcelle Beauvais and Erika in Rome, Erika revealed in the preview for the August 5 episode above: "My husband does the same thing: swells and vomits. I used to have to douse myself in Listerine. I'd get in the bed and he'd be like, 'You ate garlic today.' And I go, 'But I brushed my teeth.' He goes, 'It's coming out of pores.' You want to talk about a drama queen... he's a pouter."

In interview, Erika added, "Everyone thinks I'm the diva in the relationship, absolutely not. Thomas Vincent Girardi is the biggest diva known to man. Ask around."

Earlier this season, in a phone interview with The Daily Dish, Erika shared what Tom's nickname is and, we have to say, it kind of fits with his wife's description of him on RHOBH.

"Well, he’s in my phone as 'The Boss.' I don’t know what I’m in his phone as. Probably, you know, just my number," she said. "He’s 'The Boss', but he always has been. I mean, that’s who he is, you know?"
