Reunion Reveal
On the April 23 reunion of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, host Andy Cohen pressed Jayne about her options once the lawsuit goes to trial on May 19. She outlined several possible paths — from fighting the claim in court to negotiating a settlement — and admitted she doesn’t know what will happen as the legal battle unfolds.
Legal Trouble Timeline
Jayne was sued in 2021 by the trustee handling the Girardi Keese bankruptcy, accused of using more than $25 million of the firm’s money. That same day, the trustee sold the litigation claims to a third party. Jayne has denied wrongdoing and has not faced criminal charges. Her estranged husband, Tom Girardi, was convicted in 2024 on four counts of wire fraud for embezzling over $15 million from clients between 2010 and 2020; he was placed under a temporary conservatorship after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and dementia and later reported to prison to begin a seven-year sentence.
