Erika Jayne and Thomas Girardi‘s home furnishings and personal belongings are headed to the auction block after a federal judge signed off on the hiring of an auction company to host the sale.
As the estranged couple’s Pasadena mansion remains on the market for $7.5 million, a number of her and Thomas’ items, including their “Steinway piano, religious icons, statues, lamps, rugs, ceramics, glassware, clothing and shoes, and sports memorabilia,” are headed for a September sale.
According to court documents obtained by Radar Online on July 14, the judge presiding over the bankruptcy proceedings of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s soon-to-be-ex-husband approved a sale scheduled for September 21, 2022, which is expected to capture between $191,000 to $280,000 for Thomas’ estate.
As the outlet noted, Erika, who currently resides in a $9,500/month rental near West Hollywood, has stated that she took only a couple of pieces of furniture from her former home when she moved out in late 2020. Meanwhile, Thomas remained in the home with their belongings until months later in February 2021, at which point he was diagnosed with dementia and relocated to a senior assisted living community.
As RHOBH fans well know, Erika and Thomas’ former marital mansion has been on the market for over a year, and currently, his creditors and victims are hoping to see the home put into foreclosure and sold. And while that hasn’t happened quite yet, attorney Ronald Richards announced plans to offer $6.9 million for the property earlier this week.
“[Lauren Boyette-Richards] and I are attempting to purchase [Erika Jayne]’s house from the Trustee,” Ronald wrote on Instagram on July 13. “This is so our followers can see how the victims money was spent and to get a piece of the decadence. We will also use it for a public forum on first amendment activities, something Erika and her legal team strongly are against. They want secret hearings and trials, not public scrutiny. We will have her deposition there along with other players in the case.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
