Page Six reported that the decision came one day after both parties agreed that “dismissal is appropriate.” Following the ruling, her attorney Evan Borges told the outlet that he hopes everyone stops making accusations against Jayne “without evidence,” saying:
While the lawyer acknowledged attorney Jay Edelson could re-file against the singer in California, he noted that her dismissal “from the federal lawsuit that triggered bankruptcies of Girardi Keese and Tom Girardi is extremely important.”
Jayne and the former attorney were named in the lawsuit, which was filed in 2020, for allegedly embezzling $2 million in settlement funds from the families of Lion Air Flight 610 crash victims. Girardi was also said to have allegedly mishandled several of his clients’ money over the years. The lawsuit claimed that the 50-year-old television personality was faking their divorce in order “to fraudulently protect Tom’s and Erika’s money from those that seek to collect on debts owed by Tom and his law firm GK.”
Additionally, the former couple was accused of using his client’s money to fund their lavish lifestyle for 12 years. However, Jayne has continually insisted that she never knew about Girardi’s wrongdoings.
