Erika Girardi defends cop son: ‘His job is to protect and serve all’

Erika Girardi is proud to be the mother of a policeman.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 48, defended her son Tommy Zizzo on social media after an Instagram user commented, “Your son is an officer!” on her image of a black screen to support Black Lives Matter and Black Out Tuesday.

“My son was brought up NOT to be racist,” Girardi wrote back. “His job is to protect and serve ALL not just people that have his skin color. F–k you and stay off my page.”

She then shared comments from fans who supported her message in her Instagram story.

Girardi normally goes to great lengths to keep her son out of the public eye and only recently shared a photo of him on her Instagram account.

“I put him on Instagram and he’s my best-performing post,” she later said of her decision to share a photo of him in uniform. “He didn’t choose this life, I chose this life, and you try to protect them. I don’t care if he is an adult and he carries a gun and a badge. At the end of the day, he’s still my boy, but I posted it and I’m glad I did. He is a very fine young man and I’m so proud.”

She also infamously snapped at former cast member Eileen Davidson in an argument when Davidson tried to downplay a situation by saying, “She didn’t kill your child.”

“Don’t ever bring up killing my child again because my child could get killed,” Girardi said through tears. “Don’t ever bring up my kid again. Don’t ever do that. Eileen, your kid doesn’t put on a uniform every night, and put his life out on the line for people he doesn’t know.”

A rep for Girardi did not immediately get back to us with comment.
