Summary

A recap and opinion of Hulu's second documentary detailing crimes spearheaded by Tom Girardi and the Girardi | Keese law firm. Failings of the California Bar Association are highlighted as well as the current status of ongoing legal battles for both Tom and Erika, including an overview of the Marco Marco lawsuit referenced on an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when she mentioned wearing a wire in a federal investigation. The 2-hour documentary also provided an update on several client-victims and focused on a group who welcomed a sit-down with Erika in the hopes that she would no longer refer to them as "alleged".

This recap cites the Hulu documentary and L.A. Times articles.

Welcome to the high and low podcast. I am your host, Bravo, Bravo,

0:10.0

and we're really getting into it today. We are going to do a review of the housewife and the

0:17.8

Hustler, part two. And I was laughing before I started recording because I counted

0:23.0

and I have 14 and a half pages of notes that I took. My little hand was hurting after I watched

0:29.2

that documentary and my heart was hurting. My hand and my heart were hurting. That was a rough one.

0:34.4

I will say. I think it was very well done. If you have not seen it,

0:39.1

be warned, it's quite emotional if you have the capacity for emotion. I'm sure there are some

0:44.6

people out there who are like, Erica's great. She's my favorite. I love everything she does.

0:49.2

Why are these poor people crying and trying to take her earrings away. And for them, it would not probably hit.

0:56.4

But for those of us who are in a different place with our emotional intelligence, it's a tough

1:03.1

watch. And so for that reason, I will be peppering in jokes and humor wherever I can, because

1:09.4

that is my coping mechanism. and I hope that it helps

1:12.4

the medicine to go down. Yeah, it was a two-hour documentary and it probably took me five hours

1:19.7

to get through it. And I swear I felt like I was clairvoyant or something because I said a few

1:25.2

things in one of my last, oh, the thing I did about the earrings, my dive on the earrings, I said a few things that came to fruition. And then, you know, I've been yelling for two and a half years that the chief of police, when they see him at Mortons, he says to them, you say, I'm nice for Leighton. And I was like, I'm hearing Leighton, Tom Layton. After that came to light that there was an investigator for the State Bar of California named Tom Leighton. And they show a picture of him and I have a rule that I don't make fun of people's appearances. But if you're a scammer and a crook, I'm going to let it go. And so I'm going to say that this man looks like the side of a worm. He looks like the

2:01.2

Heidi Klum worm costume. And you have no idea how much it bothers me to say that because I've

2:06.3

been trying to forget that image since I saw it. That's what he looks like. And the man's name is

2:11.7

Tom Layton. And he took over a million dollars from Tom Girardi. And so he had like cars paid for, his lease is paid for on like, of course, BMWs and Cadillac. I'm important. I drive a Cadillac. Get the hell out of here. But anyway, Tom was paying for all that, giving him a credit card. And then when the chief of police he said, just having lunch with Leighton, and I'm like, I hear Leighton. And I was right. I was right. And I knew I was

2:36.7

right. But it's just one of those things because they said in the documentary, they changed the

2:42.0

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. They changed their captions. Their captions used to say,

2:47.5

having lunch with the lady, which is dumb and makes no sense, unless you're a person

2:52.7

watching the show transcribing the audio and you don't know that there's a person named Layton.
