12 Dec
Summary
- Jayne expresses heartbreak over estranged husband Tom Girardi's legal troubles.
- Girardi was convicted of wire fraud and sentenced to seven years in prison.
- Jayne admits to therapy and self-closure amidst ongoing civil cases.
Five years after the initial legal troubles surfaced, Erika Jayne remains significantly impacted by the situation surrounding her estranged husband, Tom Girardi. She recently shared with a costar her deep sadness regarding Girardi's conviction for defrauding clients of more than $15 million over a decade. The disbarred lawyer was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Jayne reflected on the emotional weight of seeing Girardi, who is in his eighties and reportedly in poor health, sentenced to prison. She expressed uncertainty about visiting him, questioning his potential awareness and the possibility of finding answers. This introspection comes as Jayne herself continues to deal with ongoing civil lawsuits stemming from the scandal.
Ultimately, Jayne has come to understand through therapy that closure must often be self-generated. She is actively working to move past the situation, acknowledging the prolonged struggle and the uncertainty of her own future legal standing. Jayne initially filed for divorce from Girardi in 2020, after 22 years of marriage.
