Erika Jayne from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills refuses to hand over bank records to a trustee. The estranged wife of Tom Girardi was questioned in connection to Tom’s law firm’s bankruptcy case. Erika’s lavish lifestyle is no secret. The allure of the RHOBH cast features glamorous fashion and beauty. RHOBH star Erika is no different. A trustee is curious about just how much glam the reality star needs—and at what cost. Read on to find out more about Erika’s refusal to hand over bank records.
The bankruptcy case for Erika’s estranged husband has brought attention to the reality star’s lifestyle. Tom’s assets are still being investigated by a bankruptcy trustee. The investigation is a part of Girardi Keese’s involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. Tom came under fire for stealing from clients and committing fraud against business partners. Thus far, RHOBH's Erika has maintained that she was an innocent victim in Tom’s dealings. However, the reality star’s refusal to cooperate has brought her under speculation for hiding assets.
Erika’s glam squad plays a key role in the former singer’s image. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast flaunts expensive lifestyles including lavish trips, high-end fashion and out of this world glamour. Page Six shares that an attorney working on Tom’s case stated, “The Trustee has received zero cooperation from Erika which is constant with someone hiding assets.” He reported that “Erika has used the glam to continue to aid and abet [these] sham transactions that have been occurring with respect to large transfers of assets.” Even more evidence against Erika’s glam guise revealed, “[Girardi Keese] has admitted in numerous filed tax documents that Erika’s related companies have received over $20,000,000 according to the tax documents spanning multiple years.”
Erika’s beauty and merchandise businesses were promoted on her social media pages. The trustee alleged that RHOBH's Erika started a business following her divorce from Tom. This raised further suspicion about Erika hiding assets. The reality star recently filed a lawsuit against Tom for a breach of contract. The reality star was seen in edited clips on RHOBH, and fans found it hard to believe that she was completely innocent.
For now, the former singer has maintained her innocence. The trustee investigating Tom’s case alleges that Erika may have hidden assets. Her refusal to cooperate does not help her claims of innocence. On screen, Erika’s polished appearance post-divorce was questioned by a co-star who also experienced divorce. Fans also found her declaration of trust in her co-stars as suspicious because of the reality star’s cold demeanor towards the group in the past. The unfolding of this season of RHOBH has certainly contributed to Erika’s tainted image in the case.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8pm on Bravo.
