Summary
A rundown of the 2016 Secret Service led prosecution of Chris Psaila, half of the celebrated L.A. design house, Marco Marco, after Erika Girardi's allegations of $787, 117.88 worth of fraudulent charges on an AMEX card Tom paid but had begun to object to, with Volkswagen asking, "Now why am I in it?"
A review of Chris' 2023 lawsuit allegations that Erika's longtime choreographer Mikey Minden, assistant Laia, and an AMEX representative/investigator also played a role in maliciously prosecuting him, plus a description of his receipts filled with texts, sketches, and images supporting legitimate charges for goods and services that challenge his now dismissed indictment that could have resulted in over 150 years in prison. Just this month, Erika lost an attempt to dismiss his lawsuit and a Secret Service buddy of Tom's filed to remove himself from this narrative. After listening to this pod, you'll understand why.
Content discussed and reviewed is pulled directly from lawsuit filings, L.A. Times articles, statements made on the Housewife and Hustler HULU documentaries, and a generic legal definition of anti-SLAPP laws. This podcast reflects personal opinions and is not associated with any external organization, persons, or companies. Information shared may be paraphrased and is sourced from news articles, legal documents, publicly available research, and/or direct testimony, statements, and quotes.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the high and low podcast. This is your host, Bravo, Bravo, |
| 0:08.8 | Decking Bravo. And ooh, the sound is so much better when I'm back at home. I tried to record a |
| 0:14.5 | podcast on my phone so that I could be away from my house and do it. It's not worth it. It sounded |
| 0:19.9 | terrible. I couldn't do that to you. |
| 0:21.4 | So I'm going to re-record it right here, right now. And boy, a lot has happened. I'm almost glad it |
| 0:26.6 | didn't go out because the very next day after I was going to release a deep dive on the Marco Marco lawsuit, |
| 0:34.5 | I didn't even know that this had happened. but she had filed an anti-SLAPP lawsuit against |
| 0:40.0 | Chris of Marco Marco. And you're like, what's an anti-SLAPP lawsuit? And a quick summary is that |
| 0:46.0 | under most anti-SLAPP statutes, the person sued, i.e. Erica, Mikey and her assistant Leah, |
| 0:52.7 | make a motion to strike the case because it involves |
| 0:55.6 | speech on a matter of public concern. The plaintiff then has the burden. So Chris, Marco, Marco, |
| 1:01.7 | would have had the burden of showing a probability that they will prevail in the suit, |
| 1:06.0 | meaning that they must show that they have evidence that could result in a favorable verdict. If that person, Chris, |
| 1:12.6 | Marco Marco, the plaintiff, cannot meet that burden, then the suit is dismissed. But a judge |
| 1:17.2 | took a look at it and they were like, oh no, this is going forward. Which is amazing. |
| 1:21.3 | So first of all, I'm shocked that she tried to file an anti-slap. When this man was, let's just get |
| 1:26.7 | into it. Let's get into it. This is a deep dive. |
| 1:29.6 | As usual, my disclaimer for this is, I am not a lawyer. I am not personally involved with any of this. |
| 1:36.0 | Everything I'm going to be telling you is pulled from either a court case filing or from an LA Times |
| 1:41.0 | article, New York Times article, or some other institution that has a fleet of lawyers who have fact-checked this. |
| 1:47.1 | Nothing in my dives are done with malice. Everything is stated to the best of my understanding. |
| 1:52.3 | I know if I get something wrong, you all will tell me and I will correct it because I am not a man. |
