The estranged couple was accused of embezzling money intended for the families of the victims in the Lion Air Flight 610 plane crash in 2018. Edelson PC claimed the split was "a sham attempt to fraudulently protect Tom and Erika’s money" and that Jayne and Girardi were "on the verge of financial collapse and locked in a downward spiral of mounting debts and dwindling funds."

"It includes documentary evidence, including contracts Erika entered into to be on the Real Housewives and email and text correspondence with the Bravo team.
