The new lawsuit, has been obtained which, claims that Erika Jayne “made the cynical decision to leverage the scandal to further her career and stay relevant in the tabloids, meaning more exposure and a larger paycheck”

Lawsuit has claimed that Erika Jayne’s role on The Real House of Beverly Hills made her “front woman” in Tom Girardi’s fraud and embezzlement scandal

In December 2020, Erika’s estranged husband, Tom Girardi, was sued by law firm Edelson PC on behalf of the families of the JT 610 Lion Air flight’s crash victims.

The crash victim’s families accused Tom and his now-defunct law firm, Girardi & Keese, of embezzling $2 million from the settlement intended for them.

Erika was also named in the December 2020 suit because the law firm alleged that the reason Tom had stolen the funds was to “continue funding his and Erika’s lavish Beverly Hills lifestyles.”

Other point to note is that one month before lawsuit against Tom and Erika was filed in 2020, Erika publicly filed divorce after 21 years of marriage. Their sudden swperation prompted Edelson PC to accuse the pair of orchestrating a “sham” divorce in an attempt to “fraudulently protect” the allegedly stolen funds.

Erika repeatedly denied these allegations most notably during a July 2021 episode of RHOBH, in which she called the claims “insane.” In same episode, she also denied having any knowledge of Tom’s actions, and instead claimed that she had been brought into the lawsuit by mistake.

This is still the case. However, shortly after reports of Erika’s dismissal surfaced online, the founder and CEO of Edelson PC, Jay Edelson, justified  that while the original case against Tom will continue in Chicago and his firm intends to refile their lawsuit in California.

Which brings, where Erika has been officially named in yet another lawsuit filed by the same firm, Edelson PC.

In the filings, Erika is being sued alongside her company, EJ Global LLC; Tom’s law firm; and its lenders.

The documents list nine different complaints against the defendants, accusing them of, racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering, receipt of stolen property, aiding and abetting concealment of stolen property, money had and received, conversion, unlawful business practice, consumers legal remedies act, and deceit.

Edelson PC is seeking an amount of “no less than $55 million” in damages for the plan crash victums’ families.
