'Real Housewives' star Erika Jayne switches lawyers in ongoing bankruptcy case
Fox News
“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne is switching up lawyers for the remainder of her ongoing bankruptcy case.
The reality star's estranged husband, Tom Girardi, and his law firm, Girardi Keese, were accused in a federal lawsuit of embezzling millions of dollars intended for airplane crash victims' families to fund their rich and famous lifestyle. Girardi was sued by his business partners, resulting in the chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. While Jayne has not been accused of a crime, questions of how much she knew about him allegedly stealing money from his clients have come up since the allegations went public. Last month, Mastan filed a motion to be taken off the case after Hulu released a damning documentary titled "The Housewife and the Hustler" that detailed the allegations against Girardi and questioned how much culpability Jayne may or may not have going into her court battle. As Page Six notes, the documentary points to the fact that Jayne was listed as a secretary on one of his LLCs and that money was transferred to her company, EJ Global.More Related News
