The complaint accused him of embezzling the settlement proceeds in order to “continue funding his and Erika’s lavish ," and fans don't think the personality should still be on the show.
revealed on his show that it's too late for that, though, as the current season has already been filmed and she's a big part of it.
He shared: “I’m getting a lot of tweets from people saying, ‘You have to fire Erika from the show.’

While fans are aware of Erika's legal situation, the storyline is only just starting to play out onscreen, and Andy said that'll be an "interesting" watch for viewers when the remaining episodes air.
“What I think is interesting is that the women found out… this season, it’s like a mystery unraveling and every episode, you start to get a little more," he said.
The host continued: "And I think, I think this week is the episode where the first article about Tom Girardi ripping off his clients comes out.
"And the women start to realize, they start to be like, ‘Well wait. What’s this?’
“You’ll see the reaction to this play out as the weeks go on and it is fascinating."
The storyline and reveal will play out over the next few weeks with "at least" 10 more RHOBH episodes airing through September.
