Have you ever wanted to party with Bravolebs? Well our digital series, Bravo After Hours, offers viewers the opportunity to paint the town red with some of our very own as well as host and Everybody Curses, I Swear! author Carrie Keagan. So get ready to unleash your inner pop persona because she's painting the town hot pink with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills pop star Erika Girardi and find out what it really means to be Erika Jayne.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

Alter egos are nothing new in pop music, so it's hardly surprising that when Erika Girardiisn't throwing shade under that moniker on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she's hitting the stage in a show-stopping catsuit, performing her toned butt off as Erika Jayne. When it came time for Bravo After Hours host Carrie Keagan to party the night away with her, she wanted to find her inner "Carrie Jayne." But, first, she had to find out why Erika unleashed her alternate persona before she, too, could have one of her own.

"Listen, I've been performing since I was a kid. I think there's a little bit of Erika Jayne inside of everyone because she represents freedom, fantasy, love, escape, glitz, glamour, and fun," Erika explained in the latest episode of Bravo After Hours. "And that's how the character really has progressed."

And wouldn't we all want to be Erika Jayne? We mean, she wears couture, drives around in sports cars, and hangs out with sexy dancers. She's living the dream.

As for Erika's penchant for flaunting her derriere in her music videos, she explained: "I have a big ass. What can I say?"

No word yet on if Carrie Jayne has a similar aesthetic.

You can catch more Erika when RHOBH returns December 6 at 9/8c.

It's a New Chapter of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
