Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills – Star Erika Jayne And Husband Tom Girardi Are Being Sued For Embezzlement
According to the lawsuit, Erika filed for divorce from Tom following a 21-year marriage in order to protect their assets from debt collectors.
The complaint was obtained by the DailyMail.com and claims that Tom embezzled proceeds of settlements meant for Illinois-based family members of victims who died in the October 29, 2018 Lion Air Flight 610 airplane crash.
That flight went down into the Java Sea shortly after take-off, killing all 189 passengers and crew on board. It was later determined that the crash was caused by a design flaw in the Boeing 737 Max Series which ultimately led to the grounding of the model.

The complaint states, “Tom and Erika have reached celebrity status in the glitz-and-glam world of Hollywood and Beverly Hills…To keep up their celebrity status, Tom and Erika must project a public image of obscene wealth at all times, and at whatever the cost.”
The lawsuit goes on to say that Tom and his law firm Girardi Keese, “are on the verge of financial collapse and locked in a downward spiral of mounting debts and dwindling funds,” and allegedly have tens of millions of dollars of unpaid debt.
In addition, the suit states, “While Erika publicly filed for divorce this month, on information and belief, that “divorce” is simply a sham attempt to fraudulently protect Tom’s and Erika’s money from those that seek to collect on debts owed by Tom and his law firm GK.”
