Emily D. Baker steps Behind The Rope. Our fav legal commentator, and former LA Deputy District Attorney, is here to break down the legal woes of one Mr. and Mrs, soon to be exes, Erika and Tom Girardi. So much has happened in the Erika & Tom case since Emily was last here, we don’t even know where to begin. Emily helps us make sense of all the legal aspects of this case - the divorce, the bankruptcy, the $25M, Erika’s potential liability if she knew, Ronald Richard’s recent offer to match 10% of whatever Erika voluntarily returned, the likelihood the victims will ever be paid, the likelihood Erika will face jail time if she is found guilty of any crimes, the likelihood Erika will have a similar lifestyle when all is said and done, the projected timeline of how much longer this case will continue to dominate our lives and so on. We have talked so much about the reunion that we needed to break down the legal facts of this case. Of course, we do chat this past season of RHOBH & The Reunion - Erika’s demand for undying loyalty, Rinna’s double standard, Sutton’s newfound voice, Sutton’s bodyguard, whether Erika is “using” the show to rewrite history with a different narrative and her potential weekly admissions of potential guilt, should she be found guilty, by staying a member of the cast. Of course, we discuss the recent claims that Camille Grammer was told of the Girardi’s financial troubles at Andy’s baby Shower by one of her closest friends on the show rumored to be Kyle and Bethenny Frankel’s claims that she knew - after all doesn’t the B “Know It All”. Finally, Emily looks ahead to next season of RHOBH what Erika’s future looks like with Bravo under scenarios of potential guilt and innocence. The episode you have been waiting for all season!. Time to legally make sense of it all! From one lawyer to another, thank you Emily.
