"These are all seized items," an insider told Us Weekly. "She had no approval on what was going to be auctioned off and what’s not auctioned off."

The 50-year-old "doesn’t have a say either way" the source said. "She’s just letting the law firm do what it needs to do. She wants the payment to be settled so she can just move on in life."

Last week, the law firm reportedly began to liquidate its assets. This comes as the estranged couple is facing a lawsuit after they were accused of embezzling the funds intended for victims of the Lion Air Flight 610 plane crash in 2018. Edelson PC claimed that Jayne and Girardi's split was a "sham" attempt to "fraudulently" protect their money and that they were "on the verge of financial collapse and locked in a downward spiral of mounting debts and dwindling funds."

Jayne filed for divorce in November, but the couple soon found themselves involved in a series of legal woes.

In December, Robert Keese sued to dissolve his business with Girardi, 1126 Wilshire Partnership. Keese, as well as Robert Finnerty and Jill O’Callahan, alleged that Girardi failed to pay approximately $315,000 in owed income. They alleged that Girardi took the funds "for his own personal gain."

As previously reported by OK!, the trustee leading the lawyer's involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy hired auction company ThreeSixty Asset Advisors to put together the sale to sell the memorabilia to help to pay off the money Girardi owes to creditors seeking payment.
