Erika Girardi admits she’s ‘at a loss’ in long-awaited fight over ex Tom’s alleged multi-million dollar scam
In addition to being in Vegas, Erika is also awaiting word on the trial of her estranged husband Tom Girardi, a disgraced and disbarred attorney who was charged with fraud for allegedly stealing from the families of plane crash victims in 2018. (Last month, Tom was found competent to stand trial in a fraud case .)
“Tom’s behavior has been bad for three years,” Erika says in the announcement. “S— this man did. Relegation is great. His family — he hurt them, too.”
When the producer informed her that Tom’s hearing was coming up, she replied, “I’d be a liar if I said it was 100% crazy.”
RHOBH: Erika wins legal battle over $750K earrings — but her friends think she should cough up some ‘good karma’
As for Erika, she claims she was unaware of Tom’s alleged criminal activities. Her RHOBH Costars were quick to question her involvement as criminal and civil lawsuits were filed, some of which mentioned Erika as well. She has since been acquitted in several of those cases, although other civil battles continue.
Despite Tom’s ongoing legal troubles, Erika embraces the “show must go on” mentality, saying, “Now I have to pick myself up and put on a show.”
But Mikey Minden, Erika’s creative director, worries it might be too little too late, telling her, “I don’t think we can do it.” He adds: “No one was killing it – including you.”
She then requested an off-camera meeting with Minden, saying, “I can’t get on the mic for this conversation.”
As he continues to rehearse, he says, “It’s not like it’s going to get any fucking better.”
