A former employee of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne’s husband Thomas Girardi has been dragged into his legal mess.
According to court documents obtained by Breaking Celebrity News, the trustee presiding over Girardi’s involuntary Chapter7 bankruptcy case recently asked the court for permission to depose his longtime secretary, Sharleen Fujimoto.
Fujimoto worked for Girardi at his law firm for many years. The trustee believes she handled his finances and was “and may be still in possession of certain financial documents of” Girardi.
At the moment, Girardi is under a court-ordered conservatorship due to his alleged medical issues. His family claims the once-respected lawyer is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and dementia. His brother Robert took over control of his finances despite Girardi’s objections.
Girardi’s finances are in complete disarray. His creditors accuse him of owing tens of millions and his former clients believe he failed to pay them $25 million owe on settlements. Bankruptcy docs reveal Girardi has $74 million in assets with $56 million in liabilities.
The trustee listed Girardi’s current monthly income is only $2,958. His biggest assets include the $13 million Pasadena mansion, a $1.1 million property in La Quinta, California along with a 2020 Range Rover and 2019 Aston Martin.
