Erika Girardi’s husband, Thomas Girardi, is facing a $15 million lawsuit for allegedly failing to repay loans that totaled the same amount. According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills husband and his law firm, Girardi Keese, are being sued by a company named Law Finance Group.
The company is claiming that they gave the 79-year-old $15 million to fund his business and he allegedly did not pay back the loans.
Instead, Law Finance Group claims the loans were “used to maintain Mr. Girardi’s lavish lifestyle and keep his prominent law firm financially afloat.”
Girardi also allegedly refused to complete a repayment plan that the two parties agreed on in August 2018, according to the documents. The website reported that Girardi was supposed to make monthly payments by the end of October, along with a $5 million payment by January 1, 2019.
The lender alleges in the suit that Girardi said he would use his home, legal fees and the proceeds of his law firm as collateral. According to The Blast, Law Finance Group is seeking $15,151,989 — the amount the defendants allegedly owe — plus damages, Us Weekly reports.
While the documents cite Girardi as a “prominent and well-known” lawyer, the papers also allege, “It is now apparent that Mr. Girardi’s reputation is exceeded only by the lavish nature of his lifestyle.”
