The legal floodgates have opened on Tom Girardi.
As Page Six previously reported, Girardi, 81, is in a ton of legal trouble. Primarily, he’s in the midst of a class-action lawsuit over missing funds in the Lion Air settlement. He’s also being sued by Wells Fargo Financial Services for allegedly breaching a written agreement and conversation with the bank, but that’s not all.
Documents obtained by Page Six reveal Girardi’s law firm partner, Robert Keese, is suing to dissolve their business venture known as 1126 Wilshire Partnership. Keese, joined by Robert Finnerty and Jill O’Callahan, allege the estranged husband of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne never paid them the approximately $315,000 in income from the partnership, claiming he took the money “for his own personal gain.”
The three plaintiffs also claim in the documents that Girardi took out loans against the property valued up to $7,460,000 million without their knowledge for Girardi’s “own personal gain, benefit and use” and not for the benefit of the partnership. As a result, the plaintiffs allege they’ve suffered a loss in equity of approximately $442,500 each.
Keese and the group want to dissolve the partnership and liquidate the assets, including 1126 Wilshire Blvd. They’re also looking to receive the money they were previously owed and want to be awarded punitive and compensatory damages.
Meanwhile, Girardi’s estranged wife is also trying to divorce him, though the filing is said to be a “sham.”
