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.
What’s on the docket?
- Key differences and overlaps with the original California filing by Christopher Psaila
- Who Marco Marco is and their history with Erika
- Claims filed by Marco Morante in the Florida case
- Erika’s motion to dismiss based on lack of personal jurisdiction
- Who is James Wilkes? A look at Erika’s attorney—and his connection to her
- Wilkes’ own legal issues, including an aggravated assault charge
- Mr. Wilkes’ delays in scheduling the motion to dismiss hearing
- Details of the case management conference (March 2025)
- The motion for relief from judgment filed by Wilkes
