Erika Jayne Gets Candid About Lawsuit & “Darkest” Time of Her Life

“This has been the darkest part of my life,” she continued. “Just the most desperate, most afraid I’ve ever been in my life. Most unsure, most volatile. I’ve been angry, I’ve been sad, I’ve been happy, I’ve been everything. And it’s really challenged me to my core.”

Last month, E! News confirmed Erika had been dismissed from Tom’s case (Jay Edelson, an attorney for the plaintiffs in the case, vowed to refile in California). The original civil lawsuit accused the former couple of embezzling $2 million from a Boeing 737 airplane crash settlement fund made to Illinois-based plaintiffs whose family members were among the accident victims.
