"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne has been dismissed from her estranged husband Tom Girardi's embezzlement and fraud lawsuit, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.Dismissed without prejudice means the charges can be refiled if new information were to suggest
"Pursuant to stipulation, plaintiff's claims against defendants EJ Global LLC and Erika Girardi are dismissed without prejudice and without costs," the court documents, filed Saturday, read.
Jayne's attorney Evan Borges said he wants everyone to stop making accusations against Jayne "without evidence" in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"After more than a year to find evidence, Edelson dismissed the Illinois action without prejudice as to Erika and EJ Global LLC," he said in the statement. "While Edelson retains the right to re-fie in California, the dismissal of Erika from the federal lawsuit that triggered bankruptcies of Girardi Keese and Tom Girardi is extremely important . For example, the recent three-day evidentiary hearing in the Boeing case showed that Erika had ZERO role in what GK and Edelson discussed, did, and didn’t do, whether as between each other or as to their clients. In fact, I’m informed Erika’s name didn’t even come up at the hearing."
Girardi was accused of embezzling $2 million from plane crash victims back in December and the couple's assets were subsequently frozen. One month prior, Jayne had filed for divorce.Embezzling from plane crash victims would be pretty low, but perfectly consistent with Hollywood. And $750,000 earrings? What are they made out of, unobtainium?
Girardi, 82, and Jayne have been accused of divorcing to protect their money and assets.
Jayne recently fired back at a motion from a bankruptcy trustee who is demanding the reality TV star return $750,000 pair of earrings that were gifted to her by Girardi.
EJ Global LLC was also dismissed, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
Jayne's attorney told Fox News Digital in a statement that the singer and actress "innocently" received the earrings from her ex and is being roped into the investigation for his alleged crimes.
"I am disturbed by everyone jumping to conclusions about Erika, who is innocent, and trying to blame her for the actions of others," the statement from Jayne’s lawyer, Evan Borges, says.
I'm proud to say I've lived my life up until this point without becoming aware of Erika Jayne. Oh well, I suppose it had to happen.
