After receiving a $ 50 million lawsuit, Erika Jayne detailed the “shame” of her situation in the latest episode of RHOBH.

Things got a little awkward at LAX airport last week for a real housewives Star. Erika Jayne was returning home from a vacation in Hawaii with her co-stars Diana Jenkins and Lisa Rinna when she received more and more legal documents while collecting her luggage from her. The documents refer to a $ 50 million lawsuit that now claims the 50-year-old committed racketeering and other crimes alongside her ex-husband Tom Girardi and her disgraced law firm Girardi & Keese. Amid the turmoil, Erika Jayne had detailed the “shame” of her situation during the last episode of the The real housewives of Beverly Hills aptly titled “Beverly Hills Blackout”.

The episode aired on July 27 Cheer, but the footage in question actually dates from last year’s Christmas holidays. Show newcomer Diana Jenkins, who also recently got into a fight with Sutton Stracke, hosted a Christmas party where all of her RHOBH Cast mates have been invited. Kathy Hilton has appeared (finally) after a little hiatus due to the wedding planning and celebrations of her daughter Paris Hilton. Erika Jayne, very drunk, tried to explain why she did not attend the big party despite her being invited, saying:

Erika Jayne was referring to the scrutiny surrounding her relationship with Tom Girardi and her Los Angeles law firm allegedly embezzling millions intended for clients and partners. In fact, the new $ 50 million lawsuit comes from several plane crash survivors and family members who were clients of the company and allegedly never received settlement funds. The RHOBH alum is involved in this because its entertainment company, EJ Global, is accused of funneling the funds to it.

His recent comments to Kathy Hilton mark one of the few times he’s admitted his feelings about the situation. Prior to this, Erika Jayne has only denied the guilty allegations against her and even claimed in this 12th season that some (if not all) of the complaints may be unfounded pending further investigation. In this case, she admitted that she missed the wedding due to the cloud hovering over her head for the past few months.

The former Broadway star had been drinking on the night of the Christmas party episode. After interrupting the host in the middle of the song and making laxative comments to Crystal Kung Minkoff when she had just talked about her ongoing struggle with an eating disorder, Erika Jayne’s co-stars started talking fervently about hers. ” problem with alcohol “. Kyle Richards felt uncomfortable throwing out that kind of verbiage, especially given his troubled sister sobriety story on the show. But Minkoff called the behavior “out of control” and Garcelle Beauvais insisted that not everyone can “deny” what they see happening.

Lisa Rinna finally conducted some sort of surgery the next day with her longtime friend. Erika Jayne confessed that when she got home from the party she not only hit her head but also threw up, adding that she was basically “the fallout” of the Tom Girardi scandal that hit her. Rina replied

The legally fought TV personality claimed he would change due to the mistake. The Diana Jenkin event was technically her second success, as she had already thrown a big party at Garcelle Beauvais ‘birthday party, where she flirted with one of Beauvais’ sons and told the other (teenager) to literally go out. However, it’s unclear whether this or another reason is behind the off-season feud between Beauvais and Erika Jayne that’s currently making headlines.

Good meat aside, Erika Jayne has even more serious business on her plate. In addition to the $ 50 million lawsuit, Nicolas Cage’s ex is also suing her for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Likewise, there remains the problem that she owes the IRS over $ 2 million and a (smaller but no less serious) $ 5 million lawsuit from other people who claim that Tom Girardi did not owe them or paid them.

We know so far the The real housewives of Beverly Hills that Erika Jayne plans to help her situation a little in the hopes of not divorcing Tom Girardi soon. She stated in a different episode that although they are legally separated as a couple, she now technically makes more money than Girardi and owes him substantial child support if the divorce is truly successful. Of course, you may need the so-called Bravo paycheck for those other more pressing legal matters here soon …

Stay tuned for what Erika Jayne has more to say about her plight in the RHOBHwhich airs new episodes Wednesday at 8pm EST on Bravo and the next day on Peacock Premium.
