Tom Girardi isn’t known because of his marriage to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne. He worked as an attorney for decades, and was co-founder of the once esteemed law firm Girardi Keese. But, after over 50 years of handling cases, the business was forced into bankruptcy, and ultimately went defunct. Tom was later convicted of wire fraud and was disbarred from ever practicing law again, at least in the United States.
What does this have to do with his RHOBH ex? Well, Erika is being accused of using over $25 million dollars for personal use, all of which came from the firm’s funding. Attorney Ronald Richards and his legal team are seeking financial justice, which would mean making the reality TV star pay back the money. The case is picking up steam, and the next step could lead it straight to a jury trial.
Will RHOBH’s Erika Jayne face a jury?
Ronald recently took to social media to share an update regarding the case. He also provided official documents outlining the next court date, and what could be ruled by the judge.
“We are hopeful that on June 4, 2025, the Court will set a jury trial. Erika believes it will be a ten-day jury trial,” he wrote in the Twitter caption.
The attorney continued, revealing that if a jury trial is indeed granted in June, that it wouldn’t take long to get the ball rolling.
“We believe a trial will be set before the end of the year. This is clearly the greatest imminent threat facing Erika today.”
Erika hasn’t addressed the potential jury trial order just yet. Either way, if a RHOBH Season 15 is coming, her storyline is already secured.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
