Erika said that when Tom eventually called her after the accident, she immediately questioned his whereabouts and assumed that “he was with some other woman.” Asked what woman Erika thought he was with, she told the other women that she wasn’t sure but it could have been “any of them.”
“Obviously, thatmeans he was cheating on you,” Kyle said, as Erika chimed in, “You guys have no idea what I’ve been living through, no idea what I’ve been through. This is my life.”

Erika claimed that she “found the evidence” of Tom’s “years-long” affairs through text messages and pictures on his phone.
“I knew a lot, because it was so hard to hide and, you know, he was sloppy,” Erika said, noting that he didn’t deny the affairs when confronted.
