‘RHOBH’s Erika Jayne might have to surrender $750k worth o’ bling — a bankruptcy trustee is coming for her diamond earrings, claiming Erika’s estranged hubby bought ’em with stolen client money.
According to court docs obtained by Olasmediatv.com … Tom Girardi bought the ultra-pricey and icy earrings back in 2007 from M&M Jewelers, using money that was in a client trust account at his old law firm Girardi & Keese.
We can’t confirm these diamonds Erika was rocking back in 2019 are the ones in question, but they seem to fit the bill.
As for how they ended up in her ears … the trustee in Girardi & Keese’s bankruptcy case alleges Tom hid the transaction by describing the purpose of the check on G&K’s Trust Account as a “cost” item paid to “M&M.”
So, the trustee is now demanding Erika turn over the earrings to the bankruptcy estate.
As a matter of bankruptcy law, the trustee claims those high-priced diamonds are technically assets of the law firm’s bankruptcy estate … and the trustee can and should sell them to pay back creditors.
The judge hasn’t ruled yet, but Erika might wanna box up those babies, just in case.
