Erika Jayne appears to be running out of funds as her legal issues continue to mount.
As she prepares to go to trial to face off against Thomas Girardi‘s bankruptcy trustee, who filed a $24 million lawsuit against her in September 2021, and as she faces a possible $300,000 judgment, an attorney claims there’s signs that the 53-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is having financial issues.
“Erika Girardi appears objectively to be having money problems. Finally, it looks like the legal fee gravy train is running dry,” Ronald Richards began in a lengthy post shared on X on March 30.
According to the attorney, who is not currently working on the cases against Erika, there are a number of signs that hint at such.
“Erika Girardi did not file a reply brief for her appeal of the denial of her motion to dismiss the Christopher Psaila complaint in the 9th Circuit. This never happens. Second, as reported earlier, she is facing an imminent default in Florida. An extension was granted for her reply brief as you see below, but then Evan Borges never filed one. We reached out to her attorney to ask him if there was anything going on other than the obvious reason, he is not being paid … The response was crickets.”
In addition to being sued for $18 million by Christopher, who claimed she wrongfully accused him of making nearly $800,000 in fraudulent charges to her credit card, Erika also faced legal action from his partner, Marco Morante.
“The multiple legal actions and the price tag have now caught up with her,” Ronald continued. “The lawsuit benefactor well looks like it is becoming dry.”
He then shared additional details about a legal brief that Erika had been granted in February before suggesting that she would not be eligible for any further delays.
“To facilitate timely submission of cases for decision, no further motions for extensions of time to file the reply brief will be granted absent extraordinary and compelling circumstances. If the reply brief is not filed by February 18, 2025, the case may be submitted on the briefs already on file,” he stated, signaling an order dated in January.

While Erika continues to rake in funds for her role on RHOBH, rumors have been swirling in regard to her potential exit from the series after an advertisement for a UK event described her as a “former” cast member.
“Erika Jayne … The iconic musician, TV star and former Real Housewife heads to Camden,” read a description of a June 3 event.
