Erika Jayne breaks the silence when she is seen for the first time since her estranged husband was accused

Real Housewives star Erika Jayne said she had “something to say” after being seen for the first time following ex-husband Tom Girardi’s indictment of stealing $18 million from clients, including the grieving families of the victims. of the Lion Air crash in 2018.

Jayne was seen wearing a light blue Alexander Wang tracksuit as she left the Burbank Town Center with a pink box and a bottle of water. He wore big black sunglasses as he talked to the photographer on the way to his car.

Asked what her reaction was to her estranged husband’s legal troubles, she said: ‘You know, I have something to say, but not right now. Soon you will know about me.

The reality show star wasn’t concerned about how she played in the drama either, when asked if she was worried about ‘her situation’, the blonde nonchalantly replied, ‘No.’

However, her stolid demeanor changed soon after when she was peppered with questions, including whether she believed Girardi deserved to be charged.

‘Didn’t you hear what I just told you five seconds ago?’ she snapped. ‘That when I had something to say, I would say it to you.’

Girardi already faces a mountain of civil litigation over allegations that he stole money from his law firm.

Today, he was indicted by grand juries in Chicago and Los Angeles on allegations of theft of $3 million from the plane crash victims and an additional $15 million from other clients.

Prosecutors say he stole the money to pay exorbitant American Express bills and membership fees for two country clubs.

He and Jayne are separated, but have not yet finalized their divorce. She filed for divorce in 2020.

Girardi, now 83, is in an assisted living facility. His wife has publicly stated that he is suffering from dementia and that he was formally diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2021.

It is unclear if he will be deemed fit enough to stand trial. If he is found guilty, he faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.

Girardi was indicted Wednesday by juries in Los Angeles and Chicago. His son-in-law from a previous marriage, David Lira, was also charged in Chicago.

Among the allegations are that he stole $3 million from the settlements of the families of the victims of an Indonesian plane crash and stole another $18 million from his firm to cover his extravagant lifestyle.

The criminal indictment is the latest chapter in a sad saga that brings to an end Girardi’s once-admired career.

He is facing multiple lawsuits for alleged fraud and theft, which first came to light in 2020, around the same time Erika filed for divorce.

Much of the drama has been played out in episodes of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Christopher Kazuo Kamon, the 49-year-old former CEO of the legal group, was indicted along with Girardi in Los Angeles.

Girardi is best known for assisting in the 1993 real-life case of Erin Brokovich vs. Pacific Gas & Electricity Co.

His lawsuit obtained a $460 million settlement for Hinkley residents, a record at the time.

Before the indictment was filed against him, an independent law firm, Chicago-based Edelson PC, reimbursed the families Girardi accuses of defrauding.

That law firm said they would then seek to recover the money from Girardi and his firm.

Erika Jayne has been named a defendant in some of the lawsuits against her estranged husband, but has not been charged with any crimes.

She has been removed from some of those lawsuits and insists she did nothing wrong.

Some of Girardi’s victims came after her claiming that, together, she and her estranged husband used stolen funds to prop up their expensive tastes.

The couple’s palatial mansion sold for $7.5 million in October of last year after falling into foreclosure.
