Erika Jayne slams investigator Ronald Richards for spending ‘a year looking in the wrong direction’ amid embezzlement scandal
Erika Jayne raised eyebrows, once again, after leaving a shady comment on Ronald Richards’ latest Instagram post on Thursday.
After a year of the lawyer investigating the star and her estranged husband Tom Girardi over embezzlement accusations, the criminal defense and civil litigation attorney slammed Girardi’s Los Angeles-based law firm.
‘What does everyone attorney who worked at Girardi Keese as either an Associate, quasi Partner, or Manager have in common? Answer: Not one of them has taken responsibility for the clients they were obligated to protect and serve or gifted back any of their bonuses or salaries,’ he captioned an image of the employees via Instagram on Thursday.

In response, Erika, 50, commented: ‘Finally a post I agree with. Only took you a year of looking in the wrong direction… you really are slow.’
After spotting the reply, Richards replied to the Pretty Mess author’s ‘nice dig,’ according to Us Weekly.
‘We are looking at all directions but the big $ went to one person,’ he wrote. ‘We have only been retained since June of 2021 so it hasn’t been a year. We have asked for any 411 to aid in the below review.’

Erika’s ex, 82, has been accused of embezzling millions of dollars meant for plane crash victims, and as a result, both have had to give up their lavish lifestyles.
Jayne once famously employed $40K-a-month glam team to keep her looking like a pop star, but that has all gone now that she’s been asked to pay back an alleged $25million loan from her ex Girardi.
Earlier this week, she shared a clip of herself getting grilled by Andy Cohen on the upcoming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion.

In August this year, Girardi was federally disbarred as an attorney, according to documents filed under the Central District of California.
Girardi — who has been placed under a conservatorship on account of a Dementia diagnosis — reportedly ‘did not contest the decision.’
While Jayne has claimed to have no involvement in the embezzlement scandal and ‘kept away from the books’ she has been implicated over an alleged $25million she was paid by Giardi’s law firm.

Jayne allegedly spent the huge sum of money on her lavish lifestyle from 2008 to 2020.
Her attorney has stressed that she has done nothing wrong – and Jayne has claimed herself that she now has ‘zero dollars’ to her name.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season finale will air tonight at 8pm on Bravo.
But viewers will have to wait until Wednesday, Oct. 13 at 8pm, for the start of this fiery four-part reunion.
