The investigator of the bankruptcy of Tom Girardi and his separated wife, Erika Jayne, said he plans to put the reality star in “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” The “contradictory statement” made in the court was brought to court.
The 50-year-old “Pretty Mess” singer and 82-year-old Girardi were accused of misappropriating settlement money provided to the families of the victims of the 2018 air crash.
Ronald Richards, the lawyer investigating the bankruptcy of the Girardi law firm Girardi Keese, told U.S. Weekly“The non-script actors we will use in court have made many inconsistent statements and admissions.”
He added that his team will “get discoveries from people who have worked for her in the past.”
The lawyer said that there is no timetable when Jayne, her former employee and her partner can be summoned for questioning.
“We are still trying to expose a lot of things. We will depose her (Erika) at some point, but I want to get all the documents first. Now the important thing is to keep track of the money,” he added.
When Richards was asked on “RHOBH” about Jayne and Gilardy’s financial situation whether he “sees a lot of inconsistencies with the story”, he replied: “Yes.”
After 21 years of marriage, Jayne filed for divorce with Gilardy in November 2020.A month later, they were charged litigation The embezzled settlement money should have been paid to the families of the victims of the Lion Air Flight 610 crash in 2018, and pretended that they broke up as a means to promote the alleged embezzlement of public funds.
The Bravo star has since denied these allegations. Jayne said on the reality show earlier this month: “The lawsuit said my divorce was fake, so I can hide assets-people are willing to believe it.” “I mean, I never expected it. To this f-king st. This is the end.”
However, Jay Edelson, the attorney who filed a class action lawsuit against the former couple, claimed in June that Jay’s business had received millions of dollars in loans from Gilardy’s law firm.
At the same time, Richards told Us Weekly that there were allegedly $25 million in accounts receivable-“The accounts receivable on the company’s tax return are for one of her company, EJ Global”- Listed on the company’s bankruptcy list.
“The tax returns from 2015 to 2019 actually indicate that the accounts receivable is $25 million… Accounts receivable does not necessarily mean money. It may be value,” he explained.
In response to Richards’ claims, Jayne’s lawyer Evan C. Borges said in a statement to the media: “Everything Erica does is legal. No assets are hidden. Erica Ka can continue her life.”
Last month, Jayne asked the court to remove Richards from the case because Richards was suspected of publishing “false and inflammatory social media posts and public statements” implying that she was not involved in his investigation.
She also criticized him for being “Clown a–,“”Low budget“The lawyer on Twitter.
In response to Jayne’s recent social media activities, Richards said in a statement to US Weekly: “Unfortunately, there is no customer control, which has led to more profanity and deafness posts, which are now obviously It is aimed at myself and my hardworking team.”
“We can’t help but point out that the irony is that she had previously complained about her comments,” he continued. “However, in order to divert the scrutiny of the source of the large amount of funds she has spent, she has now resorted to weaponizing her huge platform to send out vulgar insults and vile tweets. Obviously, we will ignore them. The work we are doing has nothing to do with it. We look forward to the expected cooperation of her lawyer.”
