Real Housewives Spoilers – Erika Jayne Dates Amid Divorce
Amid her divorce from former attorney Tom Girardi, Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne began dating again. And fans noted the irony in Jayne’s choice. Because after surviving Girardi’s scandal, Erika reportedly chose another lawyer. And like Girardi, this attorney faces legal trouble, pointed out Page Six.
The RHOBH star joined her new man, recently arrested lawyer Jim Wilkes II, in Las Vegas. Erika, 51, and Wilkes, 72, spent time in Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. And a photo showed the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star sporting tight red leather leggings, matching pumps, and a long-sleeved T-shirt. Jayne headed to Las Vegas to prep for her upcoming residency at the House of Blues in the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino.
Both Erika and Jim wore sunglasses. But Wilkes chose casual attire to accompany the RHOBH star. The attorney wore a leather jacket and blue jeans. Formerly an associate of Erika’s estranged husband, Jim helped Erika with her financial trouble. And court documents clarified that Jayne “filed a summary judgment motion to get herself out of the case.” But the documents also revealed that Erika received “hundreds of thousands of dollars for her legal fees from an attorney named James Lewis Wilkes, II, via Wilkes’ law firm.”
