The news outlet that published that bombshell exposé about Tom Girardi and Erika Jayne's jaw-dropping embezzlement scandal is the same publication with whom her most vocally critical Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars decided to speak.

Last December – while Bravo cameras were capturing the Girardis' oddly timed divorce in real time – a massive article detailing the 82-year-old recently disbarred California attorney's alleged embezzlement of millions of dollars in settlement money from particularly vulnerable people (fire burn victims, and widows and orphans who lost loved ones in a plane crash) stopped everyone from the cast dead in their tracks.

And while those in Erika's corner tried hard not to harp on the unavoidable details of the lengthy report that suggested she was complicit in the alleged "Ponzi scheme," others – like Sutton Stracke – read the article "three times" with eyes wide open.

Stracke, the most upfront about her doubts regarding Jayne's innocence in the matter, was joined by the second most skeptical, Garcelle Beauvais, and RHOBH newcomer Crystal Kung Minkoff for an interview and full-blown photo shoot with The Los Angeles Times – 10 months after the outlet published, The legal titan and the 'Real Housewife': The rise and fall of Tom Girardi and Erika Jayne.

The reporter of today's Times article noted that the ladies had Taylor Swift's I Forgot That You Existed playing in the background when she arrived at Stracke's Bel-Air home to pick their brains.
