'RHOBH' Nightmare! Erika Girardi's Husband Tom Faces Federal Lawsuit Over 'Mishandling' Funds

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star's lawyer husband, Thomas Girardi, was hit with a federal lawsuit!

The 76-year-old, the firm he founded, and fellow attorney Robert Finnerty, are being sued over claims that they mishandled funds awarded in a class-action lawsuit.

Official court documents reveal that Tom's firm won $130 for Paul Kranich in a nine-year battle against the Lockheed corporation — and Paul is claiming that Tom used a majority of the funds they won towards extraneous expenses!

“Girardi is believed to have charged Plaintiff a total contingency fee of 40 percent of total gross proceeds, even though Girardi had agreed to accept only one-third in fees on many of the settlements,” the lawsuit claims.

The documents also list his expenses as $250,000 to an aviation company he owns, $100,000 to his divorce attorney, $350,000 to Western Union, and a $500,000 to a real estate escrow account.

Erika — also known as Erika Jayne — has been married to the much older lawyer for 17 years.

The 44-year-old met Erin Brockovich's co-counsel while working as a cocktail waitress — and according to her on RHOBH, they've been inseparable ever since.
