REAL Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne has been slammed with a $25million lawsuit.
The charges are part of the the XXPEN$IVE singer’s estranged husband Tom Girardi’s bankruptcy case.
The 50-year-old star was sued for allegedly knowing that her ex-husband Tom’s law firm was paying for her expenses for the past 12 years.
According to legal documents obtained by Page Six, the trustee in the bankruptcy case wants the Bravo star to pay the firm back.
The lawsuit comes after Erika was accused of using her company, EJ Global, to spend over $25 million from the firm.
She used the money to pay for her American Express bill, glam team and other expenses.
The lawsuit alleged: “She attempts to create a distinction between handing her money directly versus paying all of her bills directly.
“The distinction, like her prior motion for reconsideration is meritless. Any payments made for her benefit are her responsibility.”
The trustee said the RHOBH star’s claims she wasn’t aware of Tom wrongdoings is not an excuse, arguing “it would be a miscarriage of justice if [she] was allowed to simply walk completely free of owing over $25,000,000 to the Estate.”
“Erika signed all of her tax returns, numerous credit card slips, and was well aware of the money she spent on the Debtor’s credit cards and the Debtor’s payment of her personal expenses,” the trustee alleged.
“Her feigned willful blindness and ostrich approach to these expenditures will do absolutely nothing to limit her liability.”
The trustee also stated that “the glam cannot be supported by a sham.”
According to the paperwork, the trustee asked the court to rule that Erika needs to pay back the $25million she allegedly spent, as well as interest.
