New RHOBH star Erika Girardi aka Erika Jayne, 44 has stolen the show on the 2016 season. She is entertaining, charismatic, funny, self-deprecating, intelligent, witty and fearless! But she claims that she doesn’t really have any girl friends and that she only hangs out with her husband and gay men.
In fact Erika doesn’t appear to have any close relatives either.
On Tuesday she broke down in to tears talking to Kathryn Edwards about her grandmother and then told her that she doesn’t have many women friends — which was pretty ironic — that Erika was finally opening up and making herself vulnerable to a new female friend only to be stabbed in the back when Kathryn went to Lisa Vanderpump to throw Erika under the bus for calling LVP a “side sniper”.
So anyhoo, Erika is not a robot. She was not made in a laboratory. She is human and she does have a mother and a father and a grandmother and grandfather—even a son.
I don’t know who Erika’s father is, but I do know who her grandmother, grandfather, mother, ex husband and son are now thanks to an insider which will fill in a lot of gaps.
As we already knew Erika’s mom was only 18 when she gave birth to Erika on July 10th, 1971 in Atlanta, Georgia which explains why she was so close to her grandmother.

Incidentally her grandmother was Ann T. Peek. And her Grandpa was Hollis Macy Peek, of Decatur, Georgia who died in 2010 from Alzheimers at the age 81.
Erika Girardi’s mother Renee Chahoy
Her mother is piano teacher and actress Renee Chahoy, 62 of Covington, Georgia. She has a movie coming out this year called The Cardinal Rule.
And per her Linkedin profile she Studied Music at Georgia State University, Piano Major from 1970-1974.
She recently returned to GSU to study art BFA, Drawing, Painting and Printmaking Theatre from
Erika has no relationship with her father but she is on good terms with her mother.
She moved to New York City at 18 to pursue her dream of becoming a singer and performer, but she also got married at 18 to a 19-year-old young man named Thomas Zizzo from Kearney, New Jersey. The two had a son named Tommy Zizzo when Erika was 21.

Clearly things did not last long for her and Thomas because they divorced after 3 years together. Zizzo now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada where he is a concierge of sorts arranging male stripper packages for women and couples. In fact Zizzo has a pretty long history of working on the “marketing” side of the male stripper biz.
All of this makes it even more amazing that Erika’s handsome young 23-year-old son is a police officer!!! How did the son of this wild pair turn in to Joe Law? And what does Jr. think of his mother’s wild career?
In November of 2014 Tommy graduated from L.A.P.D. Academy.
Hopefully Tommy Jr. will make an appearance on the show at some point to weigh in on this situation!.
