Erika jayne real housewives of beverly hills

• Jennifer Lawrence thinks season 12 of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" is "boring." 

• She said Erika Jayne is coming off "evil" in an interview at Toronto International Film Festival.  

• Lawrence suggested Jayne should listen to her friends who are trying to help her.

Jennifer Lawrence is not pleased with season 12 of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."  

"My biggest problem with this season is that it's just been boring and I think that Erika is evil," Lawrence told Variety during an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival. 

"I would go as far as to say, she needs a publicist ASAP," she added. 

Lawrence suggested that Erika Jayne take the advice of her costars, who have been attempting to guide her through conversations about the multiple lawsuits she has been facing related to her estranged husband, Tom Girardi.

Girardi is the 82-year-old former attorney whose work helped inspire "Erin Brockovich." He was accused of embezzling millions of dollars from the widows and orphans of plane crash victims to facilitate the extravagant lifestyle the couple showcased on the show. Jayne filed for divorce from Girardi in November 2020. 

Jayne has maintained her innocence in the matter and denied any awareness of Girardi's alleged embezzlement. She has faced criticism from fans and her fellow castmates for not openly expressing compassion for the embezzlement victims. 

Kyle Richards asked Jayne to set her own struggles aside and acknowledge the people who claim they were harmed by her husband, in last week's episode. "Let's have a little sensitivity to the victims," said Richards during a cast trip to Aspen. 

Jayne replied: "The only person you should be concerned about is me."  

"I know that you're in defense mode right now but it can't just be about you," said Richards.

"Why am I catching the sins of somebody that I divorced?" Jayne asked in response. 

Garcelle Beauvais and Crystal Minkoff asked Jayne why she was not making efforts to aid potential victims in lawsuits outside of the legal process. Jayne said she was fighting her battles in the legal courts and not the court of public opinion. "I don't give a fuck about anybody else but me," Jayne told Minkoff later in the episode. 

At one point Richards screamed at Jayne "Don't say that — because you're my friend and I can't defend that." 

As the episode ended, Lisa Rinna and Dorit Kemsley pulled Jayne away from the confrontation because they thought she was saying things "you can't come back from." 

Lawrence's "Causeway" costar Brian Tyree Henry is also plugged into the Bravo universe. Lawrence said she and Henry both quit watching "Real Housewives of Dubai" but are fully caught up on the Beverly Hills franchise. 

Henry said he wants Kathy Hilton to return but was reluctant to reveal all his thoughts on the show.

"Don't drag me into this, I don't want Dorinda or Erika coming for me, we're good," he said. 

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs Wednesdays on Bravo and on Hayu in the UK.

“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne won her legal battle this week against former colleagues of her estranged husband (famed attorney Tom Girardi) who sued her for fraud in 2020, Jayne’s attorney confirmed to the Los Angeles Times.

L.A. County Judge Richard Fruin found no evidence Monday of wrongdoing on Jayne’s part after attorneys Philip R. Sheldon and Robert P. Finn accused her in a $5-million lawsuit of aiding and abetting her husband. In March, the State Bar of California filed discipline charges against Girardi, 83, who allegedly misappropriated millions in client funds while practicing law.

Per court documents obtained by The Times, Fruin ruled that Sheldon and Finn could not prove that Jayne, 51, was aware Girardi was using their share of settlement money to support the couple’s luxurious lifestyle. The judge dismissed the plaintiffs’ argument and exhibits — including Jayne’s income and expense schedule — as an “irrelevant” combination of “inference” and “circumstantial evidence.”

Additionally, Fruin determined that neither Jayne nor Girardi owed the plaintiffs any fiduciary duties, defined by Cornell Law School as an obligation to “act in a way that will benefit someone else, usually financially.”

Ronald Richards, an attorney representing Sheldon and Finn, told The Times on Thursday that Fruin “wrongly focused” on corrupt activity that wasn’t central to their case, allegedly leading to a “discrepancy” in the judge’s ruling.

In a statement, Richards vowed to appeal the verdict and “show that Tom Girardi had a fiduciary duty to third parties who were expecting money from this Trust Account.”

“Erika aided and abetted a breach of that fiduciary duty by receiving $25,000,000 to her solely owned company EJ Global LLC,” Richards added. “Erika did nothing to examine the source of the millions she received and blindly signed loans and tax documents to her detriment.”

Richards emphasized that EJ Global — Jayne’s company that allegedly received $25 million from Girardi’s firm — “is still a defendant and will stand trial,” as will Girardi’s former associate, David Lira.

“There is a dispute over what constitutes actual knowledge. We contend it could be proven by willful blindness and actual knowledge can be inferred,” Richards said.

“The judge wanted an admission by Erika,” he continued. ”... This is a standard no one could meet absent an admission by Erika, [who] denies knowledge. [Jayne] still has much more damaging and easier to prove lawsuits facing her.”

Meanwhile, Jayne’s lawyer said in a statement provided to The Times that he and his client were “gratified that based on a review of actual evidence by a court of law, Erika has been exonerated.”

“We expect that other ‘aiding and abetting’ lawsuits against Erika, which accuse her of participating in some sort of ‘fraud,’ will fail for the same reason — they are contrary to the truth and based on no real evidence,” Jayne‘s attorney Evan C. Borges added.

Jayne also celebrated her legal victory Wednesday on Instagram, writing: “Thank you to my friends that have stood beside me. All I asked for was time and understanding.”

In November 2020, Jayne filed for divorce after 21 years of marriage to Girardi, who was disbarred earlier this year and diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. On Wednesday, The Times reported that Girardi wired $300,000 worth of settlement money intended for clients of his Wilshire Boulevard law firm, Girardi Keese, to an L.A. justice with whom he was having an affair in 2015.

Jayne reacted to The Times’ report Wednesday on Instagram, writing: “Wow. I knew about jewelry, shopping sprees, and plastic surgery but this really threw me for a loop.”
