Erika Jayne under fire after alleging judge’s involvement with Tom Girardi

LA Times  

It was a rough day in courts, plural, for “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne on Tuesday. A lawyer for Justice Tricia A. Bigelow, the presiding justice in Division 8 of the 2nd District Court of Appeal, told The Times that Jayne’s “actions in maliciously doxxing the Justice were nothing short of criminal.” “We are considering our options to protect Justice Bigelow from further harassment,” said lawyer Alan Jackson, who noted that the judge was deluged with nasty text messages and calls after her phone number was published on Instagram. After learning recently of the missing funds, U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin last week called Girardi’s conduct “unconscionable,” alerted federal prosecutors, and froze the lawyer’s assets and those of his Wilshire Boulevard firm. The attorney questioned whether Jayne, who had no role in the plane crash litigation, was subject to the Illinois proceedings, but said, “I understand the court’s comments and will take them to my client.” When Girardi and his wife married in 2000, they did not obtain a prenuptial agreement, and the division of their community property is likely to be a central part of the divorce case. The downtown law practice he joined as a named partner, Johnston Hutchinson & Lira, announced Tuesday that Lira had resigned “after careful consideration.” Another attorney, Keith Griffin, one of the last to leave Girardi Keese before it effectively shut down operations this month, also said in court documents that he had told Girardi again and again to pay the Indonesians.
