Welcome back, Legal Team! With Real Housewives of Beverly Hills wrapping up for the year, we’re closing out our legal deep dive with part two of all things Erika Jayne. This week, we unpack the Marco Marco lawsuit filed in Florida by designer Marco Morante—plus how it connects to the earlier California case filed by Christopher Psaila. We break down the overlapping claims, Erika’s motion to dismiss, and the role of her attorney (and rumored landlord) James Wilkes—who’s dealing with some legal trouble of his own.
