Erika Jayne Celebrated Being “Dismissed” From Tom Girardi’s Embezzlement Lawsuit Despite Lawyers Vowing To Refile

Erika Jayne has been “dismissed” from Tom Girardi’s ongoing fraud and embezzlement lawsuit — in Illinois, that is.

If you need reminding, in December 2020, law firm Edelson PC sued Erika’s estranged husband, Tom Girardi, on behalf of the families of the Lion Air Flight JT 610 crash victims.

Over two years prior in October 2018, the Lion Air Flight crashed into the sea less than 13 minutes after takeoff, killing all 189 passengers and crew members. Girardi — who rose to prominence as a lawyer on the real Erin Brockovich case — had been representing the victims’ families.

In the ongoing lawsuit — which was filed in Chicago federal court — representatives for the families of the Lion Air Flight victims accused Girardi and his now-defunct law firm, Girardi Keese, of embezzling $2 million from the crash settlement intended for the victims’ families.
