Just one month afterReal Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne filed for divorce from husband Tom Girardi, the couple has been sued for allegedly using their split to embezzle money.
According to a complaint filed in an Illinois federal court Wednesday, Erika and Tom are being sued by law firm Edelson PC on behalf of several families who lost loved ones in a Boeing plane crash. The documents detail how Tom and Erika allegedly embezzled settlement funds meant to help the families of victims on Lion Air Flight 610. The documents state: “Tom has resorted to embezzling the proceeds of settlements that should have been directed to his clients — including, as the basis for this Complaint, the widows and orphans who lost loved ones in the tragic crash of Lion Air Flight 610 — in order to continue funding his and Erika’s lavish Beverly Hills lifestyles.”
Tom’s law firm, Girardi & Keese (GK), is also named in the suit, which claims both Tom, 81, and the firm “are on the verge of financial collapse and locked in a downward spiral of mounting debts and dwindling funds.”
Erika filed for divorce from Tom, her husband of 21 years, on Nov. 3, saying in a statement: “After much consideration, I have decided to end my marriage to Tom Girardi. This is not a step taken lightly or easily. I have great love and respect for Tom and for our years and the lives we built together. It is my absolute wish to proceed through this process with respect and with the privacy that both Tom and I deserved,” she added. “I request others give us that privacy as well.”

Despite many major awards opting for virtual or audience-free events due to concerns about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Oscars are planning an in-person awards ceremony in 2021.
A representative for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences confirmed “the Oscars in-person telecast will happen” on April 25, 2021, if everything goes according to plan. In June, the Academy announced that they decided to postpone the 2021 ceremony — which was originally scheduled for February 28 — until mid-April.
As a result, the nominations and voting periods were also extended so that any film released between Jan. 1, 2020, and Feb. 28, 2021, will be eligible. Most film and TV productions were shut down in March, and many crews weren’t able to restart filming until summer. Moving the eligibility dates allowed filmmakers more time to finish and release their projects in the safest way possible.
In July, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association said that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will host the 2021 Golden Globes live on Feb 28, although it’s unclear whether or not the nominees will be present. Meanwhile, both the Screen Actors Guild and the Critics Choice Association said a virtual ceremony is a distinct possibility for 2021.

Kloots is a former Broadway dancer turned entrepreneur and the creator of the fitness brand AK! Fitness. Welteroth is a journalist, author and producer who served as a judge on “Project Runway.”
CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl said in a statement: “Amanda and Elaine are accomplished and relatable women, whose talents and personality stood out during their multiple guest appearances this fall. They bring a fresh new dimension to the show and we’re very excited to have them join the panel. These five hosts together present a compelling mix of personalities and opinions that will continue to elevate the series and lead ‘The Talk’ well into the future.”
