'Real Housewives' star Erika Jayne dismissed from embezzlement, fraud lawsuit: court documents
Fox News
"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne has been dismissed from her estranged husband Tom Girardi's embezzlement lawsuit, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
Jayne's attorney Evan Borges said he wants everyone to stop making accusations against Jayne "without evidence" in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"After more than a year to find evidence, Edelson dismissed the Illinois action without prejudice as to Erika and EJ Global LLC," he said in the statement. "While Edelson retains the right to re-fie in California, the dismissal of Erika from the federal lawsuit that triggered bankruptcies of Girardi Keese and Tom Girardi is extremely important . For example, the recent three-day evidentiary hearing in the Boeing case showed that Erika had ZERO role in what GK and Edelson discussed, did, and didn’t do, whether as between each other or as to their clients. In fact, I’m informed Erika’s name didn’t even come up at the hearing."
"I’d like to see Edelson and everyone else take the high road going forward and not make accusations against Erika without evidence,' he added. "We want Edelson to get the most complete picture of the evidence as possible, and have no issue with further investigation. But the truth matters. Here, the truth is that Erika had no role in the Lion Air dealings, actions, or inaction as between the attorneys and their clients, and she never received any of the Lion Air client settlement funds."
