Erika Jayne, a cast member of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” has always been fiercely protective of her son, Tommy Zizzo, whom she shares with her first husband, Thomas Zizzo. Over the years, she has demonstrated a strong bond with Tommy and has been vocal about her commitment to keeping his life private.
During Season 7 of “RHOBH,” Erika Jayne’s protective instincts were on full display when her co-star, Eileen Davidson, tried to put a slight by Dorit Kemsley into perspective by mentioning Jayne’s son. Erika responded with a stern warning, emphasizing the uniqueness of her son’s job as a police officer and making it clear that she wouldn’t tolerate any discussions about him.
Despite being an adult and wearing a gun and a badge, Tommy Zizzo remains Erika’s son, and she has expressed her determination to maintain the privacy of his personal life. In an interview on “Radio Andy,” she emphasized her role as a mother and her commitment to doing whatever it takes to honor Tommy’s preference for privacy.
Throughout Erika Jayne’s separation from Tom Girardi and the legal challenges that followed, Tommy Zizzo provided support to both his stepfather and his mother. Erika shared on Bravo’s “The Daily Dish” podcast that their relationship grew stronger during this challenging time. She appreciated her son’s perspective as a full-fledged adult and acknowledged that, while they spoke like friends, their fundamental connection was that of a mother and child.
While Erika generally keeps details about her relationship with Tommy private, she made a surprise Instagram post in 2020, sharing a picture of him in uniform. In the caption, she humorously acknowledged the resemblance between them and disabled comments to protect his privacy. Erika expressed her pride in Tommy’s role as an essential worker during the pandemic.
Despite occasional glimpses into her life with Tommy, Erika Jayne remains a protective mother who prioritizes her son’s privacy. She values their close relationship and cherishes the moments they share while respecting Tommy’s preference for a private life away from the spotlight.
