Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne has been named in another lawsuit.Christina Fulton, an ex-girlfriend of Nicolas Cage, has sued the 50-year-old Bravo personality and several former Girardi & Keese attorneys for alleged fraud and theft, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly.

Fulton, 55, filed the paperwork on Friday, July 15, alleging that Erika’s estranged husband, Tom Girardi, and two of his former colleagues misappropriated her settlement funds to support their personal lifestyles.The Hard Drive actress — who shares son Weston, 31, with Cage — retained the 83-year-old former attorney and his firm to represent her in a personal injury dispute when she was hurt in a January 2016 car accident.

Fulton was awarded $924,300 in the dispute, but she alleged that she did not know “where her money went until now.” The court documents, obtained by Us, note that Fulton discovered earlier this month that the settlement award had been “dissipated” and her former legal representation had “lied to her.”Fulton’s suit further alleges that a portion of her settlement funds had been diverted to the Pretty Mess author through her EJ Global organization.

She believed that Erika and Tom would use the award sums as “their own assets” to pay for “their lavish lifestyle.” The plaintiff is seeking $750,000 in damages.The reality TV star has yet to publicly address Fulton’s suit and allegations.The “Roller Coaster” songstress’ legal troubles first made headlines in November 2020 after she filed for divorce from the Colorado native after 20 years of marriage.
