Erika Jayne's latest cash grab might get snatched away as a result of her husband's pending lawsuits. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been selling luxury pieces from her wardrobe online. But a judge involved with her embezzlement lawsuit might force her to shut it down.
It was just last month when the Bravo star filed for divorce from her husband of 21 years. She and Tom Girardi appeared solid on the show, despite their 30-year age gap and sharing no children together. The coupe also had no prenup in place following their 1999 nuptials. While she has remained mum on the reason for their split, reports have surfaced that claim the couple had an unconventional marriage and had been living separately for some time prior to their breakup. Aside from the cheating allegations that were thrown at both parties, Tom became the center of two lawsuits over allegations of bank fraud and embezzlement. Not only was he targeted, but Erika was also named in the embezzlement case due to allegations she was in cahoots with her husband in spending money that was supposed to go to the family of plane crash victims. Now as a result of the accusations, Erika's latest attempt to bring in some extra dough might be halted.
Edelson PC law firm is representing the victims of the Lion Air crash class-action lawsuit that recently froze Tom Girardi's assets. As a result, they're requesting a judge to force Erika to stop selling her clothes online. In legal documents obtained by Page Six, the firm cites that, since Girardi’s assets have been frozen, the freeze should also apply to the Real Housewives star due to the possibility Tom may have purchased the clothes for her. Despite the couple being in the early proceedings of their divorce, California's communal property laws still have them beholden together, meaning anything she owns, the powerhouse attorney also owns.
According to the recently filed documents, “the Court froze all of Tom Girardi’s assets, and that means all communal property is frozen too.” It continues with the demand that, “Erika Girardi must stop selling her clothes.” The court request comes after the "XXPen$ive" singer promoted her online collection on Wednesday telling fans she was selling designer pieces she has hardly worn on the secondhand site, Vestiaire Collective. She offered a 10 percent discount while directing her Twitter followers to the site.
Not only does the law firm want Erika to stop selling the clothes, but they're also demanding she hand over any money earned from the sales made after the freeze was put in place. Meanwhile, her estranged ex-husband is on the hook for three lawsuits: The one from Edelson PC over alleged embezzlement, a ban fraud lawsuit from Wells Fargo, and a lawsuit from his former firm partner Robert Kreese who wants to dissolve their other business, 1126 Wilshire Partnership.
