Evan Borges, Jayne’s lawyer, released a statement on Saturday after the ruling.

We want Edelson to have the best evidence possible and are open to further investigation. The truth is important. He continued, “The truth is that Erika was not involved in any Lion Air transactions, actions, or inactions between attorneys and clients. She also never received any Lion Air settlement funds.”
Edelson is allowed to re-file in California against Jayne, but the lawyer added that her dismissal from the federal lawsuit that triggered the bankruptcies at Girardi Keese & Tom Girardi was extremely important.”
According to federal court documents, Jayne and Girardi (82) were sued by Edelson PC in December 2020 on behalf of the families affected by the crash of Lion Air Flight 610.
Jayne, who filed for divorce on November 2020, was accused of using Girardi and the “sham” divorcement “to fraudulently shield Tom’s (and Erika’s) money from those seeking to collect on the debts owed Tom and his law company GK.”
Jayne refuted the claims in an episode of RHOBH that aired last summer.
Jayne confessed that divorce is extremely painful, and then to have it called a “sham” is even more so. It took courage to leave, and it took two seconds to get some ass—s to claim it was a scam and for [everyone] to believe it.
Jayne’s lawyer blasted reports this week that Jayne knew Girardi had stolen funds from Girardi to pay for diamond earrings. Borges claimed that Jayne is “completely innocence” in a court filing. Page Six obtained the file Wednesday.
The lawyer stated that Erika did not know that her wealthy husband bought her earrings as a gift 15 years ago. This was to replace an earlier set that she had purchased years before.
According to court documents, Jayne agreed to sell the earrings and transfer them in good faith despite her ignorance.
