RHOBH: Why Erika Jayne’s LLC Has Finally Been Suspended

Last week, The Real Housewives of  Beverly Hills fans learned that Erika Jayne’s LLC, EJ Global, was suspended by the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) in California. The news came months after a $25 million lawsuit was filed accusing the star of receiving fake transactions. While Erika has always denied any knowledge of such, fans need more of an explanation regarding what is happening with her LLC.

Erika had a not-so-great RHOBH season 11 as she was showcased struggling with multiple legal issues. Fans first learned that she had filed for divorce on election day. She hoped that filing for divorce on that day would avoid it making any headlines. Even though Erika continued filming RHOBH, she often made it clear that she couldn’t talk about her legal issues on camera or with her co-stars. Since the news broke of her estranged husband’s bad deeds, Erika has been the butt of hate since she has also been roped into his crimes. In turn, Erika didn’t help herself when she fed into the trolls and started to rile everyone up around her.

From day one, attorney Ronald Richards has been steadfast in his belief that Erika’s EJ Global, LLC company was used for “improper reasons.” According to Ronald’s post, the “Pretty Mess” singer’s lawyer signed her corporate documents under penalty of perjury last month when he updated the LLC’s records. Ronald informed RHOBH fans that the major issue was Erika owning 100% of the entity, writing: “This is the entity that the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) has declared was not really a business for profit but was simply a business where they improperly used it for what are called lifestyle expenses, which in turn gave Erika and Tom improper tax deductions on their joint tax return.” Ronald reminded his followers that Erika had signed all of her tax returns with Tom Girardi and also publically said that she read her tax returns. Check out Ronald’s post below.

The Los Angeles-based attorney went on to say that EJ Global was also listed as a defendant in multiple lawsuits before the LLC was suspended. The Franchise Tax Board reportedly suspended EJ Global for failing to comply with tax codes. Ronald believes that Erika was advised not to file a tax return in hopes that the LLC could evade the $25 million lawsuit. Ronald also revealed that not only has EJ Global been suspended, but The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s lawyer could also be facing legal issues for his part in the missed taxes.

It is safe to say that Erika will still be a major plotline in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12, which is set to wrap filming at the end of February 2022. Erika is still fighting for her life and distancing herself from her estranged husband. For the most part, fans are still split between believing the singer or not. There is no doubt that the newest season will only raise more questions of what Erika may or may not have known.
