Hey legal team! I know this is a week we normally don’t release an episode but we wanted to share a show we think you’ll love. If you listen to The Bravo Docket, you obviously love reality TV and so do hosts Sharleen Joynt and Andy Levine of Dear Shandy.

They also do episodes called Love Fests, where they have a “double date” with your favorite couples from reality TV and pop culture. They are currently in the middle of recapping the newest season of The Bachelorette and we can’t get enough! So after you’re done listening to this episode, make sure you find Dear Shandy wherever you get your podcasts (or watch their episodes on Youtube!) so you don’t miss an episode!

In this three part series, we are covering a lawsuit Erika's former costume designer filed against her, the secret service, her assistants, and American Express. We think the complaint gives the best overview of what occurred (excerpt below) so in this episode we read through the second half of it and provide our thoughts. This case discusses alleged corruption by Secret Service agents who conspired with Defendant Erika Girardi, a well-known television personality and theatrical performer, her assistants and employees, Defendant Laia Ribatallada and Defendant Michael Minden, Defendant AMEX, and its employee, Defendant Peter Grimm. It is alleged that all Defendants agreed and conspired to maliciously prosecute Chris Psaila for alleged wire fraud and identity theft by claiming Chris Psaila defrauded Erika Girardi by charging her AMEX card with false charges for goods and services under his business Marco Marco.

We are doing something different today and interviewing a member of our legal team, Monica Nguyen. Monica is a Deputy Public Defender that specializes in competency and has been working solely in mental health for 15 years. Monica digs into the court's decision on Tom Girardi's competency and provides her opinion, based on her experience, of the decision and what the court could have addressed further. Monica can be found on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/mentalhealthlawyer/ As an initial note, this is not at all to defend what Tom did, but rather is an opportunity to consider the order from a different perspective with an attorney who is experienced in the subject matter. This is not our practice area so when we can rely on members of the legal team who do practice in the area, we want them to share.

We have all have been asking for years when Girardi is going to face criminal charges and we finally have the answer.

Picture this: it was early 2021, we had just released our first podcast episode and were trying to learn how to market our newly minted Instagram account. We searched for other creators to connect with and found an account that had shared headline making, leaked audio of Jen Shah. This was pre-arrest so it was the only Jen "tea" that was out at the time. This account had 2000+ followers and counting then, but it seemed like they had an in or were incredibly good at finding sources. We added them to stay on top of the news. But shortly after, Jen was arrested and the tone shifted as the account's goal seemed to be to completely take down Jen. Our content soon appeared on their page. We exchanged some DMs. The account then fledged a full blown war on Jen. This was Reality Von Tease and this is our breakdown of our interactions, the timeline, the receipts, the proof, the evidence, and our thoughts on it all.

After consuming a higher than average amount of reality television this weekend, I saw examples of surrogacy and got to thinking about the laws in place to protect surrogates and parents. This week's legal brief looks at the laws specifically in California surrounding surrogacy and what all parties involved should consider before pursuing that role or avenue. I am not barred in California but was drawn to discuss surrogacy because recent examples of surrogacy I have seen on TV have occurred in California. Information from this episode was pulled from various websites summarizing California law.

We're picking up where we left off - answering what it means to be found competent to stand trial. This episode focuses on the arguments Tom's defense counsel made on why he should be found incompetent to stand trial and we get into the difference between competency and the insanity defense, with references to Mob Wives, the Sopranos, a few serial killers and an insanity defense that actually worked for Lorena Bobbitt.

What does it mean to be found competent to stand trial? We are here to explain everything about competency in the context of Tom Girardi. Earlier this year, Tom Girardi was indicted on federal criminal charges in two separate districts. But the cases are at a stand still while the court determines whether Tom Girardi is competent to stand trial. In this first part of a two-part competency discussion we lay the ground work of how we got here in Tom's cases. We cover his conservatorship and lay the legal groundwork for what it means to be found competent, how it works, and how it will work with Tom.

This legal brief covers two similar but unrelated trademark disputes in the reality tv and pop culture universe. First, Robyn and Gizelle of the Real Housewives of Potomac are facing a challenge to their trademark for their podcast, "Reasonably Shady" from no other than Eminem, or the Real Slim Shady. Next, Heather Gay of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City recently sought a trademark for, "Bad Mormon" but quickly received an opposition by the Mormon Church itself. This is a quick form episode to give you the highlights and some initial thoughts as both disputes are in their early stages.

Given the discussion happening on the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion about Teresa and Joe's federal crimes and resulting stint in federal prison, we wanted to re-release the three-part series we did last year on the crimes. There seems to be a lot of talk from Teresa about who told on her to the FBI but SPOILER - no one had to. As you'll understand after listening to this, no one needed to tip off the FBI or even the IRS.

In this episode Cesie's trial has restarted so John and I discuss some of the events surrounding the Georgia RICO case being brought against Young Thug, AKA Jefferey Lamar Williams. I have a LOT of strong opinions about rap lyrics being used as evidence in a criminal case (spoiler alert - I'm against it) and we discuss the difficulties the court and parties have had in trying to select a jury for this high profile case, i.e. potential jurors being held in contempt for a variety of things including calling the judge "a bitch" in open court and failing to show up for jury duty. I also explain to John that our First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech doesn't mean that you can just say whatever you want at any time during court proceedings. This is just the beginning of this case (a jury hasn't even been selected yet) and the trial is expected to last almost a year when and if it starts - so let us know your questions as it goes. (This was supposed to be a mini-episode so we didn't even get to some of the other incidents such as an attorney using the word "cap" when speaking to the Judge and alleged drug possession by another attorney, but we will cover more as the case continues.)

In 1999, Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member Margaret Josephs started her brand, the Macbeth Collection, which was then "known for eye popping color, bold prints and whimsical detailing." [1] Her brand expanded as she licensed her designs for ready-to-wear, bags, accessories, beauty, home, tech accessories and luggage and travel. However, with her licensing deals came business and legal headaches, including the lawsuit established, preppy brand Vineyard Vines filed against the Macbeth Collection for using a design of a cartoon whale on various Macbeth Collection and Macbeth collection licensed products. While Marge was trying to stay afloat and defend herself against Vineyard Vines, she got into the dog house when she backed out of a licensing deal for pet accessories. But were these various licensees working together to give Marge grief? Join us as we break down each of the lawsuits and share some business advice Marge has bestowed upon her fans directly from her book (check out our Amazon storefront to purchase it https://www.amazon.com/shop/thebravodocket). It's a great example of how quickly things can go wrong when a brand quickly grows. Access our Patreon, Instagram, Website, YouTube, and more here: https://linktr.ee/thebravodocket.

We're taking a dive into the trial that took everyone's attention the past two-weeks, the Gwyneth Paltrow trial! It was a basic personal injury lawsuit turned spectacle as Ms. Paltrow waltzed into the courtroom wearing chic aviators and a $250 journal and questions of the parties' heights and statures dominated their examinations.

Cesie is still in trial so John and I discuss the Hochstein divorce and read some interesting excerpts from the multitude of pleadings filed in the case. We go over the prenup, Lenny's motion to kick Lisa out of their Star Island home, Lenny's motion to enforce the prenup, Lisa's requests for monetary support, the arguments over who gets to drive which Rolls Royce, Lenny's financial disclosure at the time of the prenup and in the current divorce proceedings, the restraining order Lenny's new girlfriend filed against Lisa, Lenny's motion to bifurcate the proceedings, and the somewhat murky laws about when you can and can not get into your spouse's computer or phone. John and I also provide relationship advice (that no one asked for and that your are free to ignore) and at the end of the episode, John asks me a bunch of questions (that he did not tell me about in advance) about the criminal charges against Alec Baldwin, which I attempt to answer with varying degrees of accuracy and success.

Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced on November 22, 2022 after a jury found them guilty of many federal criminal charges including conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit tax evasion.The sentencing involved the government and Todd and Julie submitting memorandums outlining what sentences they believed they deserved based on the crimes committed, level of responsibility taken, prior crimes, and more. We discuss how sentences are calculated and what specific arguments, with evidence, the government made in its submission. This is a great precursor to Jen Shah's sentencing as the procedure will be the same.

Bethenny Frankel recently sent TikTok creators cease and desist letters in a move she claimed was to protect her brand, but really ended up turning into a PR nightmare. But what exactly were these content creators saying and did it legally warrant such measures? At the same time, Bethenny also filed a lawsuit against TikTok claiming that the platform was financially benefitting from infringing on her right of publicity by using her voice and likeness. We do a deep dive into that providing some other case law examples, like the recent lawsuit Cardi B won involving the same claims.

We are still feeling the after effects from attending BravoCon and want to share all about our interactions in this jam-packed episode. But what about the law? - you might say. Don't fret, we have found a way to link every interaction we had to a burning legal question you've had. We address what Jen Shah's presence at the afterparty could mean for her sentencing, the details of Lisa Barlow's legally compliant SEC filing, the deets about Bravolebs' contracts - YES we finally got some info, Nene Leake's lawsuit against the network and how that affected panelists, Teresa's prenup (or actually, lack of a prenup), and other highlights from our experience. We want to thank you, again, for listening. Our weekend could not have happened without your support! We also want to again note how lovely the bravolebs we met were, how rewarding it was to meet fans, and what a cool community we have here with other content creators.

We're dancing our way over to a show we were prompted to research by a listener suggestion - Dance Moms! In this two-part series, we are going to discuss the law as it applies to children on reality tv, provide insight into Abbey Lee Miller's bankruptcy, discuss her unsavory antics on the show, and her indictment for bankruptcy fraud. We go over some parallels to the Teresa and Joe and the Chrisleys and some potential Girardi similarities. We end the episode just as Abbey Lee pleads guilty because there is still so much more to cover for part 2!, FBI Special Agent testimony, producer emails, cross examinations of lawyers...   As always, our podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

Erika Jayne, former wife of now disgraced Plaintiff's attorney Tom Girardi, has been directly named in a number of lawsuits over the past months and has been at the center of public drama. Most recently, she was served with papers after returning from a Hawaiian vacation. But what was in those papers? We know, and in this episode and the next, we are reading the facts and claims alleged. We also discuss how Erika was ordered to return her $750,000 earrings.

One week before Jen Shah's trial was scheduled to begin, she pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, accepting the prosecution's plea deal and erasing the trial from our calendars. But what did she plead guilty to? What are the conditions of her plea? What happens between now and sentencing? What will happen at sentencing? What if she can't pay the forfeiture and restitution ordered? Will Coach Shah have to pay any part of that for her? We answer these questions and more in this episode.

Todd and Julie Chrisley, stars of the reality show following their family "Chrisley Knows Best," were recently found guilty of several crimes stemming from their scheme of fraudulently obtaining loans using forged documents and failing to pay the taxes they owed. In this episode, we dive into crimes - going back as early as 2009. Todd and Julie began their fraudulent behavior long before their reality show even premiered. This is a jam-packed episode with multiple state and federal agencies, lots of family drama, and scorned lovers. Almost every crime or claim we've spoken about in the past was committed or alleged here (RICO, bankruptcies, wire fraud, tax evasion, extortion, defamation, and so much more!).

In this episode we discuss the many legal issues Apollo Nida has faced and criminal charges he has served time for. We detail how Apollo and Phaedra met and the timeline of their relationship. We discuss multiple allegations that Phaedra was the "mastermind" behind the criminal enterprise at issue. We discuss how a book about the crime sprees led to a defamation claim. And how despite the fact that it was Phaedra who filed the defamation lawsuit, she made litigating the case challenging and had to be deposed three times. We explain the Secret Service's involvement and how one member of the criminal enterprise received a Presidential Pardon from Donald Trump -- but of course there is more in the episode!

As a t/w this episode discusses abuse allegations and contains explicit language. In this episode we discuss Johnny Depp’s defamation claims against Amber Heard and her defamation counterclaims against Depp. We provide a summary of domestic violence and the biases that victims face. We provide a high-level overview of the claims and statements at issue then discuss the elements of defamation each party must prove here by discussing the jury instructions the jurors in this case are using to come to their decision. We summarize some of the evidence presented to support each element of the claims, though to understand the full breadth of the evidence jurors reviewed, you would have to watch the entire trial. We then discuss the particulars of discovery and how trials work, which includes an overview on hearsay and other objections, fact witnesses, expert witnesses, exhibits, and more.

In this episode we provide the groundwork necessary to understand Johnny Depp's defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard by first discussing Depp's lawsuit against the British tabloid "The Sun." We discuss the important legal and procedural differences between defamation in the US and UK and how they affected Depp's case. We then review each of the 14 incidents of violence "The Sun" used to defend their statement. Though we realize the US trial is at the top of everyone's interest, understanding the UK trial will give you the helpful background.

One of the first lawsuits we wanted to cover when we started the podcast was Jim Bellino's lawsuit against Heather McDonald, Shannon Storms Beador, and Tamra Judge for what he claims were defamatory statements at a live-recording of the Juicy Scoop podcast. Researching and recording this did not disappoint. We uncovered details of an FBI sting Bellino was involved in, explain our fears of trampoline parks, detail the elements of defamation suits as well as defending against them using California's anti-slapp laws, and more!

As you have probably heard, there is a new civil case waiting in the wings to be filed against Erika and others related to Tom Girardi's law firm. This lawsuit has not yet been filed, but we have seen the nearly 100-page draft complaint accusing Erika Girardi of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, ("RICO"). In this episode, we explain what facts the complaint alleges to support the claim that Tom's firm was nothing more than a "family enterprise" poised to suck in victims and steal their settlement funds. We also discuss why the complaint alleges that Erika was the "frontwoman" of the whole operation and how this supports the RICO claim against her. The law is complex, but we explain the potential civil case accusing Erika Girardi of violating RICO, what RICO is, and provide some history of this fascinating law. As a bonus you will learn about why RICO charges against the Hells Angels were unsuccessful, yet successful against the mafia.

Before Jen's trial was moved, both Jen and the government filed motions seeking to exclude certain evidence from ever reaching the jury's eyes. We discuss what that evidence is - and why Jen wants to keep it out while the government wants to rely upon it to put on their case. Not to spoil it, but the evidence includes Jen's supposed threats to Stu and his wife, missing account information for her bank accounts in Kosovo, clips from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and more! Jen also subpoenaed every co-defendant in the case for evidence and even subpoenaed ABC News for materials related to the Hulu documentary, The Housewife & The Shah Shocker - we explain what this evidence was and how we think it will play out.

Now that the epic second season of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is done, we thought we would review the statements Jen Shah and her husband gave about her pending criminal case and analyze them in the context of what we have learned about the case from the pleadings and the show. We also revisited the pre-trial motions (which we covered in detail in a prior episode) to get a sense of what her defense might be leading into trial and see whether the statements she made align with that defense. We also read from the transcript where Stuart pleaded guilty. Lastly, we give our general thoughts on the reunion.

Though Jen Shah’s trial has been moved, we still wanted to give you some insight into the case, starting with the sentencing process and the sentences some of her co-defendants have already received. As we discuss, the process includes sentencing submissions in which both sides put forth what they think the defendant should get, and the defendant puts forth evidence of their good behavior and states what led them to commit the crime. They are fascinating and help humanize the defendant. Another part of sentencing is the sentencing hearing where both sides argue about what the defendant should get based on several factors, the defendant often gives a statement, and the judge issues a sentence. We have these transcripts and read directly from them to provide you with insight.  We hope to do a second episode on the sentences once the remaining defendants receive sentences and plan to cover each part of the trial process.  Access our Patreon, Instagram, Website, YouTube, and more here: https://linktr.ee/thebravodocket The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

We are finally covering the many lawsuits Lisa Vanderpump, of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has faced - and buckle up because these cover a wide-range of topics. From slip and falls and food poisioning at SUR to unpaid rent and unpaid fruit and veggie orders at Villa Blanca and Pump, we're digging into all of it. There's also some worms ... skip ahead if you're squeamish... and sexual harassment at Vanderpump Dogs. We also discuss what to expect if you go to a plaintiff's attorney with a potential personal injury case and how a business might defend against these claims. As a bonus, you get to hear about Cesie & Angela's unfounded childhood fear of quicksand and tapeworms. Like we said, there's a wide-range of topics in this episode.

In this episode we discuss the lawsuit Dr. Jen Armstrong's billionaire ex-boyfriend filed against her for over $1,000,000 and outline who got dragged into the lawsuit with her. We're not saying she was a gold digger..... but there are tales of "grifting" and "fleecing," multiple frauds alleged, paternity tests, and even bonus embezzlement and blackmail allegations. We discuss the bench trial and the opinion from the California Court of Appeals as you will also learn what a SLAPP motion is, and what that has to do with a documentary called “Big Boys Gone Bananas.” We also discuss the lawsuit that Dr. Jen filed against a former employee and the receipts Dr. Jen attached to those pleadings with more text messages and claims of reports to the FBI.

Who knew a new housewife would bring us so many lawsuits to summarize? This episode focuses on newest Orange County Housewife, Noella Bergener, and her husband who goes by the trademarked and highly promoted moniker of Sweet James. Sweet James has gone through three divorces that we cover in this episode - his divorce from his first wife, his divorce from his law firm business partner, and his recent divorce from Noella. They say, there's nothing like a woman scorned, but after reading his former business partner's complaint, we think the saying should be amended to, "there's nothing like a former partner scorned." We had to split this into two parts because there was just so much alleged. A lot is unsavory so we want to reiterate that these were allegations made in court filings.  Access our Patreon, Instagram, Website, YouTube, and more here: https://linktr.ee/thebravodocket The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

We usually release episodes bi-weekly but given what is happening on SLC right now, we thought we should revisit our original episode on Jen Shah. This episode was originally first released on April 5, 2021. We will continue our Erika discussion next week and return to publishing every other week again.  In this emergency episode we discuss the recent, shocking arrest of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast member, Jen Shah. We explain how the alleged scheme functioned, what the charges against her are, our thoughts on Coach Shah's involvement, what a grand jury investigation entails, and how sentencing works. We can only assume this will be a multi-part series as Jen's case proceeds.

We were due for a Girardi update, weren't we? Now that the season of Beverly Hills is over, we thought we should revisit the Girardi cases and provide an overview of what has happened since we released our last Girardi update this past June. There have been HUGE filings and allegations made within the bankruptcies that we had to share. The parallels with the Teresa and Joe fraud case cannot be more similar.  Please listen to our past Girardi episodes for a refresher on the case. We have 4 episodes in total about this case. Our first was episode 4 where we talked about the basics of what it was alleged Tom did in the Edelson case. There we explained how settlement funds in contingency cases work and how what Tom was accused of doing is basic lawyer no no 101.  Our second episode was Episode 9 where we went over Big Frank’s disbarment over doing essentially the same thing on a lesser scale. We then discussed one of the several LA times articles where they talked about how Tom’s connections got him by.  Our third and fourth episodes about Girardi were episodes 12 and 13 where we dove DEEP into the timeline of how this came to be, discussed the various cases involved, discussed the bankruptcies and some concepts like privilege, divorces and how it could benefit Erika.  Access listening links, bonus content, and near-daily updates here: https://linktr.ee/thebravodocket The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

Brandi Glanville series, you will learn about motions to dismiss and punitive damages, and the summary judgment motions filed in this case, which include juicy details about the housewives contracts. You will get more tea via the court's rulings on detailed discovery requests, including why Joanna Krupa was ordered to turn her medical records over for inspection by the Judge. You will also hear what Krupa's (at the time) soon to be ex-husband testified about under oath, and hear Lisa Vanderpump and Mohamed Hadid's testimony. (LVP's testimony does not disappoint, even with Angela's attempts to read it whilst doing her best LVP impression.)
