“Erika Jayne has been dismissed from the embezzlement and fraud lawsuit against her estranged husband Tom Girardi in Chicago, but her legal troubles are far from over: her suit will be refiled in California.

In 2020, law firm Edelson PC sued the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and her attorney husband on behalf of families of victims of a 2018 Lion Air plane crash, accusing Girardi and his defunct law firm Girardi & Keese of embezzling settlements intended for the families to fund his and Jayne’s “lavish” lifestyle.

The lawsuit came a month after Jayne filed for divorce from Girardi; the complaint filed in an Illinois federal court accused the Bravolebrity of orchestrating a “sham” divorce in an attempt to “fraudulently protect” her and her husband’s funds. Jayne has denied the allegations, while Girardi has not addressed them.”
