The 50-year-old star was sued for allegedly knowing that her 82-year-old ex-husband's law firm was paying for her expenses for the past 12 years.

According to legal documents obtained by Page Six, the trustee in the bankruptcy case wants the Bravo star to pay the firm back.

The lawsuit comes after Erika was accused of using her company, EJ Global, to spend over $25 million from the firm.

She used the money to pay for her American Express bill, glam team and other expenses.

The lawsuit alleged: “She attempts to create a distinction between handing her money directly versus paying all of her bills directly.

“The distinction, like her prior motion for reconsideration is meritless. Any payments made for her benefit are her responsibility.”

ERIKA'S 'SHAM'

The trustee said the RHOBH star's claims she wasn't aware of Tom wrongdoings is not an excuse, arguing “it would be a miscarriage of justice if [she] was allowed to simply walk completely free of owing over $25,000,000 to the Estate.”

“Erika signed all of her tax returns, numerous credit card slips, and was well aware of the money she spent on the Debtor’s credit cards and the Debtor’s payment of her personal expenses,” the trustee alleged.

“Her feigned willful blindness and ostrich approach to these expenditures will do absolutely nothing to limit her liability.”

The trustee also stated that “the glam cannot be supported by a sham.”

According to the paperwork, the trustee asked the court to rule that Erika needs to pay back the $25million she allegedly spent, as well as interest.

'UNDENIABLE'

The trustee's attorney, Ronald Richards, told Page Six that the "evidence is undeniable."

“The law firm paid out over $25,000,000 in expenses which were approved and generated by one person, Erika Girardi," he continued.

“We are hopeful that Ms. Girardi comes down the mountain from a place of privilege and obscene wealth and returns some of these expenses so the former clients and creditors of this law firm can mitigate the horrific and unfair losses perpetrated by her husband and others."

Richards concluded that while that Erika is not responsible to pay “the full amount” of debt the firm owes, her compliance would “go a long way in backing up her public claim that the victims should come first.”

ERIKA'S LEGAL TROUBLES

The RHOBH star filed for divorce from Tom back in November after about 21 years of marriage.

After their split was confirmed, the former couple was hit with a number of lawsuits.

Despite claiming she was not aware of Tom’s wrongdoings, Erika was accused of “hiding her bank statements," as a trustee's special litigation counsel confirmed that Tom’s law firm transferred about $20 million to the Bravo star's many businesses.

In light of the many lawsuits, it was recently reported that the 82-year-old's federal disbarment was handed down by a judge.

The former couple's legal drama has been heavily covered on the most recent season of RHOBH.

During Wednesday's episode, Erika screamed at Sutton Stracke when the 49-year-old expressed her concerns about how the scandal with impact her reputation.
