ERIKA Jayne allegedly spent $25million from her ex Tom Girardi's law firm on assistants, her glam squad and credit cards.

The RHOBH star, 50, has been accused of splashing the staggering amount of money by lawyers for the trustee overseeing the Girardi Keese bankruptcy.

The money was transferred from Tom's law firm into Erika's company EJ Global LLC, according to a legal demand letter obtained by Page Six.

The letter noted that Erika is the sole owner of the company.

“Mrs. Girardi signed under penalty of perjury the return and personally approved the charges allocated to the breakdown,” the letter reads.

Erika's attorney, however, told the outlet that "no money whatsoever went to Erika" and that she never helped manage Tom's firm.

Between 2008 to 2020, Erika allegedly spent $14.2million on an American Express card.

Her company was also believed to have sent $1.5million at the McDonald Selznick Associates Agency, an agency that represents dancers and choreographers.

Another $1.4million went on unknown purchases, according to Page Six.

Erika's company reportedly paid Kim Kardashian's former assistant Stephanie Shepherd $102,500 and another agency Opus Beauty $17,000.

Makeup artist Mario Dedivanoic allegedly received $1,000 and publishing company E5 Global Media was paid $8,480 while Los Angeles Times Magazine allegedly got $10,400.

Ronald Richards, a lawyer representing the trustee said Erika owes Girardi Keese more than $28million for her expenditures plus interest.

LEGAL NIGHTMARE

“It is immaterial whether she knew her husband had improperly diverted funds from clients,” Ronald said in a statement to Page Six.

“What is relevant is that she received complete and total value for the receivable and a formal demand for payment was sent. We are hopeful she backs up her on-air statement last night that the victims come first. “

Erika's attorney called the trustee's allegations "malicious" and added: "“Erika never had and does not have personal liability for any debts or obligations of EJ Global LLC, period.”

The troubled Bravo star is currently wrapped up in a legal scandal which accused her power attorney husband of robbing orphans and widows out of millions of dollars. 

According to a Los Angeles Times article, the couple at one time had between $50 to $80 MILLION in cash. 

DISGRACED STAR

According to the article, Tom was "improperly funneling" over $20 MILLION into Erika's entertainment business LLC.

Erika has made a name for herself by flaunting her wealth over the years, even proudly saying "it's expensive to be me" in her pop song.

She has since complained about her "downgraded" lifestyle of a Range Rover and $2M Los Angeles home.

During last week's episode of RHOBH, Erika stormed off set crying while on a group trip to La Quinta as her costars learned of her alleged involvement in ex Tom "Ponzi scheme."

The TV personality broke down in tears and locked herself in the bathroom during a discussion about the lawyer's legal troubles.

She later got up and abruptly left as she declared she’s “going home” back to Los Angeles.
