Who is Karen Weitzul? Tom Girardi pays $200K spousal support from sale of mansion shared with ex Erika Jayne
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' actress Erika Jayne's ex-spouse Tom Girardi's first wife negotiated a $200,000 settlement as part of the infamous lawyer's bankruptcy over unpaid spousal support. According to court records, the trustee presiding over Girardi's involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy notified the court that Girardi's ex-wife, Karen Weitzul, had signed an agreement.
Weitzul, Girardi's first wife, was reportedly due $245,000 in alimony. Weitzul had filed documents against him as the Pasadena home he once shared with estranged wife Jayne neared foreclosure as the recently-disbarred attorney, who was forced into bankruptcy in December 2020, along with his now-defunct firm, Girardi Keese, faces liens worth over $6 million. "In a surprise development, Karen Girardi, Tom Girardi’s first wife, files papers for the relief brought by the second lender. She discloses that she is owed $10k per month and her bill is now $245k. This brings just the secured liens to $6,070,000. Debt service is $40k per month!" attorney Ronald Richards tweeted on June 10.
