Erika Jayne believes she should be paid compensation after the diamond earrings are sold at auction in December 2022 – but the trustee leading the bankruptcy case against her estranged husband, Thomas Girardidisagree.
After the The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star accused the court of making a “legal error” that caused her earrings to be sold for $250,000, the guardian scoffed at the idea that Erika should receive compensation for selling the jewelry, which she believed was bought with money. a former client of Thomas.
According to court documents obtained by Radar Online on March 21, the trustee asked for Erika’s appeal to be dismissed, as she had the opportunity to ask to stay the sale but never did.
As indicated by the trustee, Erika wants the court to decide on the issue of “the statute of limitations, not because the issue is relevant to the current appeal, but because she wants to use the reversal of the Bankruptcy Court Order for social media reasons.”
“It is very ironic that Mrs. Girardi, who since 2012 has revealed her and Thomas Girardi’s entire life to the world by starring in a reality show. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills “This court will ignore the law on this appeal in the hope that the decision on the statute of limitations issue will justify his actions, so he can use the court’s decision to publicly fight his social media comments,” the guardian said.
Earlier this month, in her own court documents, Erika pointed to the statute of limitations.
“Ms. Girardi has chosen and is entitled to monetary damages based on the proceeds of the sale of the marital gift he received in 2007 that was taken from him and sold by the Trustee based on an illegal Turnover Order,” wrote the lawyer. “The Bankruptcy Court erred as a matter of law when determined that a Trustee’s claim based on an allegedly fraudulent transfer of property more than 15 years ago is not barred by the applicable statute of limitations.”
In addition to opposing the sale of her earrings, which were reportedly not the $750,000 pair she was supposed to be selling, RHOBA cast members face a $25 million lawsuit from the trustees, who claim Girardi Keese paid the company’s bills for years.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 is currently in production and is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year.
