Erika Jayne’s New Boyfriend John McPhee Sparks Outrage After Praising Donald Trump: RHOBH Fans React

Drama is once again brewing in the world of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” as Erika Jayne’s new boyfriend, John McPhee, has been caught on tape openly praising former President Donald Trump. The revelation, unearthed by Reddit sleuths, has sent shockwaves through Erika’s largely liberal fanbase—and the backlash is fierce.

John McPhee: “I Like Trump, JD Vance, and Pete Hegseth!”

In a recently resurfaced clip from Megyn Kelly’s podcast, John McPhee—a war veteran known by the nickname “Shrek”—didn’t hold back when it came to his political views.

“Look, I like Trump. I like JD Vance. I like Pete Hegseth. I think they’re making good decisions for the long term, which is something we’re not really used to here,” McPhee said.

It didn’t take long for RHOBH fans, especially those from the LGBTQ+ community, to voice their outrage on Reddit.

“This is going to hurt her if this relationship is serious, because most of her fan base outside the show is gay men, and we won’t stand for this,” one user wrote.
“Ugh! At first I thought, ‘Good for her, he seems nice,’ but he likes Trump and his views… just no,” another chimed in.

Fans Not Entirely Shocked – Erika’s Dating History Always Makes Headlines

Some fans, however, weren’t exactly surprised by Erika’s choice in men, given her tumultuous history with ex-husband Tom Girardi—who was embroiled in a massive fraud scandal—and the fact that her son is a police officer.

Some comments were especially harsh:

“Erika dating a right-winger is pretty on brand considering her last one stole from plane crash victims.”
“She’s just a s— person with even s——- taste in men.”

John McPhee: A Complicated Past and Honest Take on Marriage

Beyond his political opinions, John McPhee also opened up about his personal life on the podcast. The army vet revealed the challenges of maintaining relationships while serving:

“I started out married at 9/11, I’ve been divorced several times. It’s a hard life because nobody understands your level of commitment. You’re choosing something that might cause your death over and over—people don’t see that as rational,” McPhee said.

He compared being married in the military to “being in prison—you can call home, but you’re not going home anytime soon.”

“Only guys who have perfect relationships, their marriages survive the war. Most guys end up divorced.”
