In November twenty twenty, which is, 63 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: you know, the early days of it, Erica fought for 64 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: divorce from Tom after twenty one years of marriage, just 65 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: week before lawsuits begins surfacing alleging financial frog December of 66 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty through twenty twenty one, Tom has sued for 67 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: allegedly embezzling settlement funds from victims of the Lion aircrash. 68 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: Erica is named in civil suits, but matains she had 69 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: no knowledge between the years of twenty twenty two and 70 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.

Now, look, I will say this, Courtney, 76 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: I was the minority in the situation, and I still 77 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: stand on my belief that Erica did not know what 78 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: was going on. I don't believe she knew what was 79 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: going on. I believe she was a wife who was 80 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: able to just brief the benefits of having a high 81 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: powered attorney giving you the jets, the backup dancers as 82 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: a blind weave. Honey, I don't think she knew anything, Courtney. 83 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: I still believe that till this day, Courtney, she is 84 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: being sued for a lot of civil suits. What is 85 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: going on there? 86 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: Well, listen, what happens is exactly what happens. She has 87 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: become the face of the scandal she swears she didn't 88 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: know anything about, nor did she create. But here's the problem, Carlos, 89 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: Erica didn't just benefit from Tom's money. She built an 90 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 2: empire and a brand off of it. And when that 91 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: money turned out to be stolen from plane crash victims 92 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: and burn survivors, the glam fortune became real grimy Uh. 93 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: The million dollar question that we always ask and that 94 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: so many people have asked, is did she know? It's 95 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: interesting that you say she didn't. I don't think she did. 96 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: Even if she Even if she, if you feel like 97 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: she didn't, what needs to really be discussed is why 98 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: didn't she? I think sometimes we want to get into 99 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 2: the did she or didn't she? Of it all without saying, 100 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: how are you married to someone for twenty one years 101 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: who is a super attorney, the fighter for justice and 102 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: you not know that some of his dealings and some 103 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 2: of that fortune was not above board? And although she 104 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: wasn't officially charged, public opinion is not even really and 105 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: truly solely fight it in this case. They're like, if 106 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: you claiming you didn't know, then the onus and responsibility 107 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: still should be on you to know. And does your 108 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 2: ignorance is your ignorance in this respect bliss? Or do 109 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: you have an obligation to say. 110 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: That it's not. 111 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: Well? 112 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: I think this. I think this. I think if you 113 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: look at very wealthy men or even excuse me, men 114 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: of beings who do have literally a real housewife, right 115 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: like I'm a housewife. I stay at home, I take 116 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: care of the kids. Teresa Judais went to prison because 117 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: her husband gave her papers to sign and says, sign 118 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: of this dot to lie as far as taxes. She 119 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: did it without reading it, and she got sentenced to prison. 120 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: When fraud was committed on Jaill's behalf and Teresa was like, 121 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: I had no idea what was going on, And I 122 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: still to this day believe Teresa didn't I know, but 123 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: she did get what some people consider a harsh sentence 124 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: of one year in prison base on what's going on 125 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: with Erica Jane. Listen, what I believed is this, and 126 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: again this is this is you know, my opinion, and 127 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: this is me just watching the show. I got a 128 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: chance to meet Erica Jane as well, but she could 129 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: not have been more lovely. So look, Erica Jane, like 130 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: we said, is being accused Courtney of using over too 131 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars for personal use, all of which 132 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: came from the firm's funding. Attorney Ronald Richards and his 133 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: legal team are seeking financial justice, which with me making 134 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: Erica Jane pay back the money. I don't believe she knew. 135 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: That's my opinion. I really do believe that. The attorney 136 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: for the victims did say that we are hopeful that 137 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: on June fourth. I'm sorry. The attorneys really do feel 138 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: like they do have a case, but I'm not too 139 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: sure if they do. But what's fascinating is Erica Jane 140 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: is hitted to trial in February of twenty twenty six 141 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: over a twenty five million dollar lawsuit. 142 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: Right, it's blood money, and that's what the media is 143 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: calling it. That's what the streets are even saying, Like, 144 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 2: the reality is you're citing innocence, But innocence isn't just 145 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: about what you know. It's also about what you chose 146 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: to not ask. Like it gives very don't ask, don't tell, 147 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 2: but that doesn't make you innocent. That makes you guilty 148 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: somewhat by association. She built a fantasy around luxury, but 149 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: the receipts were bloody. There were plane crash settlements, brown 150 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: victim payouts, and she was front row at findy. So 151 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 2: it's the perception of evil that can cause people to 152 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: be judged just as harshly as the person who committed 153 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 2: the sin or in this case, the crime. There are 154 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: too many women oftentimes when they marry these high profile 155 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 2: people that are reacting and responding to, Oh, this is 156 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 2: just the soft life I want of the self life. 157 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: I want to be kept. You mentioned the words kept, 158 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: But there is a responsibility to knowing where the money 159 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: is coming from, what is it costing somebody else. When 160 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: you're flaunting your wealth and you're rich, is you also 161 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 2: need to be able to back up that your riches 162 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: were legitimate because you're putting your finances, You're putting your 163 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: lifestyle at the forefront, whether it's by way of Real 164 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 2: Housewives of Beverly Hills or whether just it's within your 165 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: simple circle. You made America, you made viewers fall in 166 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 2: love with the flash. So no matter what, you have 167 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: a responsibility to at least own it. Own that your husband, 168 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 2: by far was just not a good person and misappropriated 169 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: the funds. Yeah. 170 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: No, and that's the thing I've always believed that. Look, 171 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: he did the crime, and as we now know, he's 172 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: paying the time for it. 173 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: Right, he. 174 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: Alluded to have a dementia, but at the end of 175 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: the day, the jury to be guilty and he has 176 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: to spend seven years in jail for what he has done. 177 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: Erica did have a lot to celebrate a few years ago, Courtney. 178 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: She did get dismissed from a few lawsuits. But like 179 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: I said earlier, she has to fight for this one 180 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: that's for twenty four million dollars. Look, do you think 181 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: that because this was a big topic on the Real 182 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: Housewives of Billy Hills, right, Erica had some ear rings, 183 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: some diamond ear rings Courtney. And the reason why it 184 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: was a big topic of conversation is because a lot 185 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: of the people felt that she should just give those 186 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: ear rings back, like they were like, give the ear 187 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: rings back. The ear rings allegedly were worth seven hundred 188 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars, and she refused to give them back. 189 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: She was like, these are my ear rings. They were 190 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: a gift for me. I had nothing to do with it. 191 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: And a lot of people felt like, what you're saying, Corney, 192 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: Like there's blood on those ear rings. You know there 193 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: were your husband used the stolen money to pay for 194 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: those ear rings. It was it was a big topic 195 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: of discussion based upon that, but it was also something 196 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: that really to me show that this is something that 197 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people have deep feelings for. The gag 198 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: is she did win the legal battle over the ear rings. 199 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: They found that she did not have to give them up. 200 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: Do you think that's the right call from the courts? 201 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: Again, it's simple. Erica wasn't in the courtroom. She didn't 202 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: take these cash settlements that were due to these families, 203 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 2: but she was. She's been a part of all of 204 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: these conversations. She didn't move the money, but she moved 205 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: with the money from the glam squads to the diamond 206 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 2: earrings seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars diamond earrings, to 207 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: this money that he stole allegedly from victims and victims' families, 208 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: paid for her life off of other people's pains. So 209 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: just because she may have not signed the check, cashing 210 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 2: the check and living this lavish lifestyle, because he has 211 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 2: been found guilty, it kind of makes her again guilty 212 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 2: by association. This was your husband. You knew where this 213 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 2: money come came from, even though they were gifts. 214 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: There, well, the thought it came from. If you don't, 215 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: but when you know, when you know better? 216 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 2: Right, when you. 217 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: Right? Okay? 218 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 2: How do you make it right? How do you consciously 219 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: know that I have profited, profited off of the pain 220 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 2: and suffering of people who have lost everything and money 221 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: is due to them. So how do you and good 222 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: conscience walk around with seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars 223 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 2: of potential settlement money that was due them and just 224 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: wear them in your ears or carry it with your 225 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: birken bag, knowing that even though you might have been 226 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 2: innocent and not realizing where it came from. 227 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: You know now, you know now, you know now. 228 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 2: And again, it's not just about innocence, it's not just 229 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: about its. People have to be paid restitution, People have 230 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: to be made aware. And there doesn't feel like where 231 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: she's losing public empathy is she's going on with her life, 232 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 2: not that she should be free, but it's still lavish. 233 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 2: She's going on with her life to such an extent 234 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 2: that we haven't forgotten the fact that she got She 235 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 2: paid forty thousand dollars a month on glam, just glam. 236 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 2: That's certain people's salary and that's what she paid to 237 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: look good a month. While she was singing about expensive, 238 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 2: I think that was the title of her song. 239 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: It was it's expensive to be Go ahead, Courtney. 240 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 2: To be me. Your rain drops are not coming from 241 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 2: me for not knowing, Erica Jane. Now I am listening. 242 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King. 243 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: Let's get back into the show. 244 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 2: But when you have a case like this, I think 245 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 2: it's it's really good to look at the optics and 246 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 2: I'm all four living the soft life being kept. And 247 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that she planned it that way, but 248 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: when the glam is funded by grief, it's harder to 249 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 2: separate her lifestyle from the lives that were impacted by 250 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 2: her husband's wrongdoings. 251 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: So you're on the same page as the attorney who's 252 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: representing a few of the people involved in the civil cases, 253 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: Ronald Richards him and his legal team Coordiney, are seeking 254 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: financial justice. They're looking to make Erica Jane pay back 255 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: the money. Ronald said on Twitter, he posted this Erica 256 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: James spouse that she abandoned is on his way to 257 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: a defecto almost life sentence. Meanwhile, the judge in the 258 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: twenty five million dollar fraudulent convenience action we filed wants 259 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: additional briefing on how to try this case. Erica's defense 260 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: is the money went to her personal service company, EJ Globo. 261 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: This defense is definitely a loser, so her best shot 262 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: is to keep delaying. Money is tight for her now 263 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: and she hates paying her own legal bills. Walls keep closing. Now, look, 264 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: that's an attorney he's on Twitter giving a good old 265 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: housewife read you thought about that? Because look, I feel 266 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: like is that the best way to argue the case 267 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: By going on Twitter reading Erica her rights for the 268 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: public consumption, since on Twitter there's people who just don't 269 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: see it for Erica. 270 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 2: Listen, if it's good enough for the President of the 271 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 2: United States to deal with our global affairs, it's good 272 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 2: enough for this attorney. People consume their media and attention 273 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 2: by way social media all day long, and with respect 274 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 2: to Erica not necessarily playing the victim but being portrayed 275 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 2: as the villain. Here, Erica is not the only woman 276 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: in the world that has been lied on or lied 277 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 2: to by a man. The difference is most of us 278 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 2: don't get a twenty five million dollar check deposited into 279 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 2: a shell company with her name on it. So I 280 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 2: don't think she is a victim. She might be a 281 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 2: victim emotionally, but financially she's not. She gained, she benefited 282 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 2: in a big way from this money, so you can't 283 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: necessarily claim it as a gift and then claim you 284 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: knew nothing about how he made his money, where his 285 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 2: money came from, because then you divorced this man like 286 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: he like they said, she abandoned her husband. And again, 287 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 2: this is the unpopular opinion, but an opinion that's floating 288 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,959 Speaker 2: out there, and I can see it from both sides. 289 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 2: She gives the appearance of her loyalty wasn't to him, 290 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: wasn't to Tom, but more so to her brand, her image, 291 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 2: and the aesthetics of being kept. She is the epitome 292 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: of a real Housewives of housewife of Beverly Hills. However, 293 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 2: what sometimes we need to really understand is when you're 294 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 2: more loyal to your lifestyle than the truth, you might 295 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 2: end up defending a monster or becoming the monster just 296 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 2: to keep your closet full. That's not love, that's not 297 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 2: co branding. That's giving the appearance of sheer evil. 298 00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: So now that Tom has been sentry is. 299 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,719 Speaker 2: Yes, because we're living in a time, in an age 300 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 2: where everybody plays not only the fool, but everybody is 301 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 2: is victim. They're the victim of everything. And this is 302 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: a really good topic because she came with her receipts. 303 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 2: We're not talking about little money here. We're talking about 304 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: millions and millions of dollars. 305 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: That you now know. 306 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 2: You can't say, well, I didn't know, because you know 307 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 2: now that this is some someone lost their daughter, son, father, 308 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 2: mother behind this. These are a plane crash victims, these 309 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 2: are burn victims. Aaron Brockovic, we all saw the movie. 310 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 2: We all know the story. So those settlements that you hear, 311 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 2: that is justification and vindication for these families are lying 312 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: in a shell company for you. I respect her because 313 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 2: she did use the seed money to build this brand. 314 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 2: It's not like this woman is talentless. It's not like 315 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 2: she hasn't allowed us to see weekend and week out 316 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: season from season of her life and her journey on 317 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 2: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It's not like her spinoff 318 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 2: shows and this lavish lifestyle we haven't seen come crumbling 319 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 2: like a cookie. I say cookie because you know what 320 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 2: I'm about to endure. 321 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: You doing your fast, hip your fast. 322 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 2: So forgive the food analogies. But there does come a 323 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: time where where do you grieve? Do you just continue 324 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 2: to shop? Where do you grieve for the victims' families? 325 00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 2: And what can you do to restore or or give 326 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 2: or provide some kind of restitution on your ex husband? 327 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 2: They weren't married for two years, five years, even seven years. 328 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: They were married for twenty one years, So I don't know. Carlos, 329 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 2: what do you think do you think you could have 330 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 2: a good conscious and not give back something to pay 331 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 2: some kind of restitution to these families just because your 332 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 2: man was wrong. 333 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: Well, I think you raised a good point, because what 334 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: I do realize legally, when it comes to marriages, the 335 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: couple you're seen as one like your husband's debts is 336 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: yours and vice versa. So I do understand from a 337 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: legality standpoint, the idea that as a married couple, you're 338 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: unfortunately subjected to the legal debt or financial depth of 339 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: your husband or your wives situation. Hence, Teresa JULYI is 340 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: going to jail for a year because she saw it right. 341 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 2: Her to say, hey, this was wrong. He did it. 342 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 2: I participated in it, even though I wasn't conscious. I 343 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 2: served my time, and I divorced, and now I'm going 344 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 2: on with my life. It really does feel like in 345 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 2: this case, this was a company she did not build. 346 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 2: He built it. She benefited from it. When it came 347 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,719 Speaker 2: crashing down, she was like, well, I'm just gonna keep 348 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 2: all of that I possess to myself and I'm gonna, 349 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: you know, go on and live my life because these 350 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 2: were gifts. And again, it just becomes a situation where 351 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 2: you cannot you cannot. You are really guilty by association, 352 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 2: and you should make right of it. Yeah, she believed 353 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 2: in a man, she believed in her marriage. But what 354 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 2: she didn't do is believe in what it gives. Is 355 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 2: she doesn't believe in the restitution to these families should 356 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 2: be on her. 357 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: So with that being said, she, like I said, she 358 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 1: is going to trial in February. We will see what happens. 359 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: She was able to keep the earrings per the court, 360 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: so that is a win for her. But look, I 361 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: think you and I obviously on the same page, which 362 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: is our hearts squat to the victims. I'm sure they're 363 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: happy to see the person who rob them be sentenced 364 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: to jail. That's the right thing to do, and listen 365 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: our hearts, thoughts and prayers throughout. So of course, all 366 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: the victims that suffer through the crimes of Tom Giraldi 367 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: and when it comes to Erica Love. They are filming 368 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: the new season of The Real Housewives Wi Hills, but 369 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: this will be a topic of conversation because it's so 370 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: like Tom Gerardy's fall from grace because he was considered 371 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: this legal legend based on the Aaron Broncovic cage, which 372 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: is sort of like was the case that really when 373 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: you have a high profile case. The reason why a 374 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: lot of attorneys do a pro bono not saying he 375 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 1: did it in this situation, but a lot of them 376 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: take on high profile cases pro bono is because the 377 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: world will see you as this hero and you will 378 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: get everybody in the world to spend your actual hourly 379 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: legal wage to take them on as a client. And 380 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: obviously it was a movie was made out of it, 381 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: played by Julia Roberts. So I understand the accumulation of 382 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: the wealth he received after that that case, and this 383 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: is to me a crime of greed. It is a 384 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: crime of when you, when you, when the money is 385 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: flowing in, you want more of it and more of it, 386 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: and more of it and more. 387 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 2: Of it instead of just young wife especially. 388 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, you have a young wife you're trying to keep happy, 389 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: and you know you're you're giving money to fund her 390 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: lifestyle and her career. So it's it's it's unfortunate that 391 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: his legacy is officially ruined. He has to spend these 392 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: years in jail, and he's let me see how old 393 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: he is, because I think the other thing too is 394 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: sort of like will he be able to like survive 395 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: he's eighty six years old? 396 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 2: Listen again, let me set the record straight for the 397 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: rain drops. No, I am not an attorney. I am 398 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 2: not a prime producer. I do have a degree too, 399 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 2: I'm not an attorney. He will probably get depending on 400 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 2: his circumstances, because now they're saying he's suffering from dementia. 401 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 2: He'll probably get a compassionate release. 402 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: He will not. 403 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 2: I don't see him withstanding a seven year sentence. And 404 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 2: that's why, given the money and the crime, I think 405 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 2: the reason he only got seven years is because of 406 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: his age. With respect to her, I you know, again, 407 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 2: feel like she mistook proximity for privilege. She thought being 408 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 2: married to a powerful man made her untouchable and in 409 00:29:54,440 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 2: this case, but it made her extremely vulnerable because she 410 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 2: had no protection. She has no She's saying that she 411 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 2: had no real legal knowledge of what was going on, 412 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 2: and it comes across like she was just in it 413 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 2: for the bags and the lashes, but not the lawsuits, and. 414 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: Not in for the not in for the lastes, but 415 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: not the lawsuits. Courtney Parker, the worst you are. 416 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 2: But what reminds me of and it really does become 417 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 2: a cautionary out And I'm a big component and I'm 418 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 2: a big person on the need for women to really 419 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 2: come into these things with their own whether it's your own. 420 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 2: I know several successful, brilliant women that are quote unquote kept, 421 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 2: but they are lawyers, they are doctors. Even if they're 422 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 2: not working in the field, they are educated enough to know, 423 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 2: like they would have met them at Brown for are 424 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 2: now like they are savvy enough. And even if you're 425 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 2: not highly educated or intelligent, you've become savvy enough to 426 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 2: navigate and build something that was your own. Shout out 427 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 2: not to someone like Camara Lee Simmons, that is a 428 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 2: woman that not only built her own brand and business 429 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: off the hills of a successful husband, but she wore 430 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 2: her shoes and her heels and built a runway for 431 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 2: herself and when things started to tremble, she had her 432 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 2: own to stand up for, to stand on, not saying 433 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 2: that Erica Jane did not do that, but to play 434 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 2: ignorant and not establish things and literally be concerned with 435 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 2: the frivolous things. The outcome the benefits of this case 436 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 2: versus the burden that her husband's wrong doing wrongdoings have 437 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 2: had to other people. That in and of itself is 438 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 2: like how do you recover and how do you recover 439 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 2: in the court of public opinion because these things happen. 440 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 2: Glam with no knowledge, no backup plan, and no legal 441 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 2: distance isn't security. It's smoking mirrors. And you know, his 442 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 2: money gained her access to get through the door to 443 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 2: acquire this fame, but without proper awareness it she became 444 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 2: a really pretty liability. 445 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: And there you have it.
