Documents obtained by Radar show that the law firm Edelson PC has sued the 50-year-old Bravo personality, her company EJ Global LLC, the Girardi & Keese law firm, and its lenders.
Edelson PC is accusing Erika of acting as the "frontwoman of the operation, selling to the world [including unsuspecting clients] that Girardi Keese was successful."
The law firm also claims that Erika "displayed a nationwide showroom of the money they stole on Real Housewives."
They are using her past social media posts to back up the allegations.
