Erika and Tom Girardi’s Legal Scandals Explored in New Documentary, The Housewife and the Hustler

Erika Girardi and estranged husband Tom Girardi’s recent legal controversies will be explored in a new ABC News Originals documentary, PEOPLE can exclusively announce.

In a teaser for the special, titled The Housewife and the Hustler, various legal experts, those accusing Tom of embezzlement and Real Housewives stars speak on the scandals surrounding the former couple, all of which came to light following Erika’s divorce filing last year.

“Tom Girardi was L.A. law — so powerful,” one legal expert says in the teaser, as another participant adds, “They were just blowing money left and right, but then…”

News clips roll describing the allegations facing Tom, 81, and Erika, 49, including a claim that they staged their divorce amid his legal troubles.

“I think the biggest question is: Did she know?” actress and comedian Heather McDonald concludes.

The documentary, which will begin streaming exclusively on Hulu June 14, will also feature voicemail messages, court records and a never-before-aired deposition tape of Tom, according to ABC News.

The news of the documentary special comes as Erika is set to address her and Tom’s split on the current season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which premiered last month.

The reality star filed for divorce from Tom in November, telling PEOPLE at the time that it was not “a step taken lightly or easily.” – Source
