Another one talking about how these events affected “her.” No apologies for the victims of her attacks, of course. Disgusting. And all will be forgotten when she attacks the next “friend.” And Kyle and Kathy sat silently……. (I get that Kim probably wasn’t sober, but still, tell rinna she was an ass for talking about their sister!)

Right. The law firm is accountant, who knows about and has access to the client trust account, might have problems because s/he would know the money never made it to the client account. But not the other employees. if one of the attorneys knew about it, that might be an ethics issue, IIRC CA attorneys don’t have an obligation to report bad deeds by other attorneys. And none of them were equity partners. IF the apology happened, it was likely demanded as part of the settlement - you get the money you are owed, but we get the case dismissed and you say sorry. At least those clients seem to have gotten paid. edited to add - Crystal is another wimp. I couldn’t believe she said “it’s not a problem” (or something like that) when Erika gave a half-hearted apology for snapping at her. You want to accept the apology? Ok, say that. But don’t act like Erika wasn’t completely out of line. HEY - maybe that’s the kind of apology the plaintiffs gave in the dismissed/settled case!

Well, she did hire counsel to protect the real victim — herself. <sarcasm off> she really is disgusting.

I’m watching on tape delay as I couldn’t watch last night. Hideous so far. 1. Erika says she talks with Tom, asks him how could he do this to HER. Nice way to care about the real victims. But then she says he’s too out of it to know what happened. Honey, then he can’t answer you! Again, pick a side! 2. Denies she had $20MM in her LLC, or seemingly that Tom put any money in her LLC. But then admits she spent $14MM on her credit card. Who paid that bill honey? 3. If the credit card bills were paid by the LLC (the bankruptcy court receiver has spoken about how much cash was funneled thru the LLC, including that for all but one year the LLC reported tax losses). Erike says the $14Mm was over 12 years, so it’s spending $2MM a year. So, not a math whiz….. Then she says it’s the typical amount spent by each of them each year. Hmmm…. First, if paid by the LLC, for most of those years that money was supposed to be only for business purposes. Typical “work” clothing is not tax-deductible. Her performance outfits, travel and glam squad for the Erika Jayne “shows” could be deductible. But not likely anything for RHOBH, since these are supposedly their normal lives being shown. And that money seems to be just what she spent on herself, not housing, food, family trips, etc. heck, she couldn’t even pay the glam squad off the credit card (unless she paid their rent or something - which I doubt and would be problematic for proving these “business” costs for tax purposes). So she and Tom were spending HUGE amounts……hmmm. looks like she outted herself for tax fraud (for the LLC). rinna is as disgusting as everyone said in earlier posts.

Also, burglaries usually take place when people aren’t home. But if true, a horrifying experience and I hope the children slept through it.

Also, tax fraud is fraud against every taxpayer. I was disgusted by his comment.

Cobalt blue for me 😇😈😄

well, she could have said NO. But I get that the question put her in a difficult position, and since she has claimed mostly that she’s telling the truth, she can’t as easily hide behind “there are things I can’t say” (unlike, damn girl, you could express sympathy for the “alleged” victims). As to others, to start, he had NO partners, he was apparently the only equity partner at the firm. No other attorney had access to the books. accountant? Well, there are some ethics at issue, but mostly they take the info you give and prepare the financial documents, taxes. An accountant can hide behind the statements of the client - if Tom and Erika said the glam squad was for the business, ok then. If they said the clothes were solely for work, ok then. as to knowing, one of her problems is her past statements- they were so close, she sat in on client/case meetings to the degree she could have practiced law” (all of which would be a problem ethically and breach client-attorney privilege). So now to say she was a kept woman who knew nothing? Honey, choose a side.

Nah, Erika can’t fit into the dresses in rinna’s garage.

As long as he could sign the credit card bill, he could find someone. That’s how he found Erika after all.

It’s not clear she was lying about that “particular” lawsuit. It could be he paid out the cash to them, and the case was dismissed. And that would fit what I think is the pattern of what happened. What Tom was doing likely started years ago, and escalated over time. It probably started with moving money (settlement payments, law firm loans. Litigation funding cash, maybe personal loans) around, intending to pay the clients “eventually.” So he got a settlement payment, which he SHOULD have put into his client account (separate from the regular law firm accounts), and forwarded that money to the clients (minus his fees). Instead, he spent that money on himself and Erika (and her fake career). Then when the next settlement came in, he reimbursed the previous successful clients, and delayed the reimbursement to the current successful clients. Along with giving the clients bullshit excuses for why the checks aren’t out the door. Rinse and repeat. All of it “worked” as long as the settlements kept coming in, and until (I suspect) the personal spending got so high he could not continue to juggle all the balls (past clients, law firm loans, litigation funding loans, current clients, Erika). But it stopped working, heck maybe he did start having memory problems and couldn’t manage the firm, bring the new cases in to continue the cash pipeline, or maybe he and Erika just spent so much damned money that wasn’t really theirs. if the CA Bar Assn ever does release the files on the - apparently many - ethics complaints against the firm, I suspect we will see the same pattern. Client says they didn’t get their money, the firm provides a response which is basically }come on, you know clients don’t understand the complexities, and besides the check is now out to them.” Bar believes the lawyer, the client now has the cash, case closed. because here’s the thing, if the clients are lying, there are checks from the law firm’s IOLTA (client) accounts showing the payments to them. But NO ONE has said those checks exist. There ain’t nothing “alleged” about the theft. How much was any one particular client owed? All that may be in dispute, but not the lack of payment. Because if it was simply bad accounting (putting the settlement money into the wrong account) and not theft, the money would be sitting in the law firm accounts. But it’s NOT. The firm is in bankruptcy, the office items were sold at auction.

She doesn’t have to be “complicit.” Look at Madoff. His wife likely knew nothing, but she lost most of her money and certainly the real estate. if you live off I’ll-gotten gains, you lose.

I can believe that the law firm accountant also handled their personal accounts. But her LLC has been the subject of an investigation by the CA franchise board for tax fraud. She’s not innocent here (@and apparently that money came from the law firm). and had she filed for divorce before the shit hit the fan, with a long term marriage, a wealthy husband, her having no real job prospects (she would suddenly remember she never made any real cash), she would get temporary support while the divorce was in progress. ironically, she may have screwed herself by waiting, because it may be difficult if not impossible to divorce him now that he has been declared disabled.

She has more than enough money to get psychotherapy, so she can realize her mother was not a saint. She might also process that mentioning her “good friend” (and pedophile) Michael Jackson is not a good thing. I must be going to hell, because I thought the crying was over the top. so “Erika answered every question” - except the ones she didn’t. I don’t buy that she couldn’t say when she sought legal counsel (though she shouldn’t discuss her discussions with them). And obviously she didn’t want to say how quickly she got another guy with a private plane (hope he really owns it honey!). She is disgusting. she didn’t leave him because of the affairs, she didn’t leave him because of the money, she didn’t leave him because of the dementia - she left him because he stopped having long conversations with her? What?? Honey, no one buys that. I can actually believe that doctors were reluctant to deal with him (though I don’t think he did traditional med-mal cases), but the idea that competent doctors were encouraging risky surgery if he had TBI is unbelievable. I did notice she admitted there was no police report, hmmm. I agree with others that Crystal’s silence on the dementia was deafening.

Hi managed to black out on that! Hideous.

She has a much better figure than her usual clothing choices show. but damn, she has bought the Erika kool aid.

Wow that’s ugly. I thought gray was over. And I don’t know what to say about the faux greenery outdoor furniture. but those views are amazing.

I don’t care that she has more curves. But what hit me about the dress was how badly the left (her left) top side fit. It’s very loose, when the other side is not. Which is how I noticed how hard her left breast seemed. It’s floating above the fabric for crying out loud! another thought about Erika. Honey, you claimed you couldn’t divorce Tom because he was such a powerful lawyer (which I don’t buy, there are divorce lawyers who specialize in representing the women of wealthy men), but if that was true (“where was I going to go” she claimed), why would you tell him to divorce you? Not buying the attempt to change the narrative. On earrings - Not a fan of suttons’s earrings. But kathy’s look like the the real thing.

He won’t. There have been numerous polls on Sutton v Erika, and Sutton has won them all, overwhelmingly.

If so, she needs a new acting coach.

Or if they stuck a pin in her breast. Man are they hard, the dress was falling off her but the left breast stayed in place. Wonder if she had them done/re-done recently. and Erika, it’s not “alleged” victims. If they had been paid the settlement money, the firm would be able to show the checks from the firm’s client account. It’s pretty simple. Shocked you don’t know that, since you once claimed you could almost practice law. god kyle’s entire look was horrible. Her breasts were being held hostage and I kept wondering how many baby birds were in her hair/nest. I didn’t hate Dorito’s look, and I’m ashamed of myself for that. Poor Crystal looked horrified to be on the couch with the coven. I noticed early on Dorit, Lisa and erika were backing each other up on everything. But then it started to fall apart. kathy seems depressed or medicated, so situation normal.

Also nodding as she said how bad assisted living facilities are, including the one in which her grandmother lived! Honey, you could have cared for her at home!

No one is saying “solely. But he stole from multiple clients. The lawsuit in Chicago is about not paying out the settlements to numerous clients re the Lion Air crash. The burn victim is a separate case. There are others. And apparently for years there were complaints that he didn’t pay out the settlement monies promptly. iMO, you can’t call him controlling if she happily went along with what he wanted. He put millions into her fake career, that’s not being controlling.

Because she didn’t see anything is my guess. but the simple fact is his theft started way earlier than the TBI car accident or anything else. The attempt to blame it all on dementia is a lie.

Right. The clue that neither was “to the manor born” was their reaction to the presidential suite. Over the top, acting like they had never seen anything so nice. of course, Kyle seems to really live in a house with pink lights in the foyer, so…..
