If Erika Jayne returns to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for season 12, she’ll reportedly be doing so with an increased salary.

Days after the New York Times revealed the six-figure paycheck Erika received for season 11, an insider claims the legally troubled reality star will be demanding a raise before she gets back in front of the cameras and continues to expose her life to viewers.

“It’s going to be much more next season,” an insider told Us Weekly of Erika’s salary on October 12, noting that she’s been the “sole focus” of season 11.

After being “put through the wringer and following producers’ orders,” the source said Erika will “no question” be demanding “a higher paycheck” for the upcoming season.

“The ratings were off the charts because of her story line and what she’s exposed,” the insider revealed. “What she’s dealing with [regarding] Tom [Girardi] and the court is not over yet so you can only imagine what next season is going to bring.”

Amid RHOBH season 11, which reportedly garnered Erika a whopping $600,000, she and her now-estranged husband, Thomas Girardi, were accused of embezzling millions from his former clients and using their potential “sham” divorce to hide assets.

In other Erika Jayne news, she was photographed in Los Angeles on Tuesday as she picked up some items from a local Target store. In photos shared by the Daily Mail, Erika was wearing a tracksuit with her hair pulled into a bun and dark sunglasses covering her face.

Got to put this out for the victims of #giradifraud. Maybe we need a poll. I think this is just a PR stunt.https://t.co/zFoNOtnDBf

Last month, after being spotted shopping at a TJ Maxx store by a Twitter user who told her she was “not winning,” Erika clapped back by revealing she enjoys budget-friendly stores.

“I shopped there for years. I also went to Petco and Target. Stop over analyzing my life,” she told the critic.

Bravo also released a reunion sneak peek, which shows Lisa Rinna and Garcelle Beauvais getting into it. The video is below.
