Erika Jayne claims she didn’t know husband Tom Girardi gave her $20 million in loans from his law firm: ‘I was kept away from the books’

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” was back on Wednesday night, and the focus was once again on Erika Jayne’s ongoing legal drama.

The cast confronted Jayne about a Los Angeles Times expose published in December 2020 that detailed her and husband Tom Girardi’s divorce and crumbling empire after Girardi was accused of embezzling millions from the widows and orphans of plane-crash victims his firm represented in a settlement.

The article also mentioned an allegation, first made in a 2019 court filing by a company that had once loaned money to Girardi’s law firm, Girardi Keese, that Girardi had transferred $20 million in loans from funds taken from his firm to Jayne’s entertainment company. (This allegation was also featured in the June ABC News special “The Housewife and the Hustler.”)

Sutton Stracke directly asked Jayne — who split from Girardi in November — about the lawsuit at Kyle Richards’ Christmas dinner, calling it the “$20 million elephant in the room.”

“Why is the paper saying that $20 million went into your LLC?” she continued.

“The obvious question is, did you know any of this?” Richards chimed in. “As your friend, I don’t think you did.”

“No, I did not,” Jayne replied.

Stracke continued to question Jayne, saying: “I have several LLCs, if that money did go in there, it seems like you would notice maybe, or question that.”

“I was kept away from the books,” Jayne replied. – Source
