Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne is without lawyers to defend her after they dropped her due to a lack of “trust and confidence.”
According to court documents obtained by Breaking Celebrity News, the law firm Dinsmore & Shohl LLP asked the court to allow them to withdraw as Jayne’s counsel.
The firm has been helping Jayne fight off the trustee presiding over her estranged husband Thomas Girardi’s bankruptcy.
Girardi, who was once a well-known Los Angeles attorney, was forced into Chapter 7 by his numerous creditors. Jayne’s husband is accused of owing tens of millions to lenders, former clients, and business partners.
For the past two years, lawsuits have started to pile up against Girardi over the money issues. The former couple are accused of embezzling money meant for his clients.
In one pending federal lawsuit, widows and orphans, who lost their loved ones in a plane crash, claim Jayne helped Girardi divert millions they were owed to help fund their lavish lifestyle.
