I'm a princess princess. Today is a very exciting day. Today is the first day of
the Bet It All on Blonde rehearsals, a Las Vegas
residency at the House of Blues, Mandalay Bay. I'm super excited because
between divorce competency hearings and
indictments and losing everything in bankruptcy, the
last three years have sucked. Let's cut back 20 years
ago when Tom Girardi was a successful, respected lawyer. He had a great reputation. He had a ton of cases and a
ton of money coming in and out of that firm. By all accounts, Tom Girardi
was a great plaintiff's lawyer. He just kind of got
the trick of life. The guy was charismatic. He was a sweet man. I could have never
predicted that I would be in this situation
that I'm in with him. But more importantly, that
he is where he is disgraced, disbarred and indicted. And in a home for
Alzheimer's dementia, a memory care facility. Hugely successful
and praised Los Angeles attorney Tom Girardi,
who has since been disbarred. Now an even more legal trouble
fraud on a massive scale. That's how federal investigators
today described the indictments against attorney Tom Girardi. Some of Girardi's
famous cases include representing Erin Brockovich
and representing Brian Stowe, the Giants fan who was severely
injured during a 2011 incident in the parking lot
at Dodger Stadium. But tonight, he's in an Orange
County rehabilitation center, apparently suffering
from Alzheimer's and is expected to be taken
into federal custody. So it will be up to a
federal criminal court to determine his competency. It's hard because I remember
the warm Tom, the sweet Tom. Tom that helped kids get into
schools, pays for tuition. And one time I asked him
many years ago, why did you choose the plaintiffs practice? And he said, because
I didn't like people getting [bleep] over. But here we are 20 plus
years later, allegedly having [bleep] over everybody. It's alleged that Girardi
and the CFO of his former law firm, Christopher Cayman,
stole more than $15 million from clients. It's a massive fall from grace. I was married to this
man for over two decades. You don't shrug
that off lightly. You just don't. And when it's in the news
and it's consistently brought to your attention
and it's talked about and people say things about
it and remind you, How's everything with Tom
that somehow or another this is all your fault too? Are you guys talking? He's facing 20 years. I heard. What's your reaction to that? Yeah, I have something to say. Just not right now. I was not prepared for
what happened with Tom, and I'm not asking
for people's sympathy. None of this should
have happened. I feel terrible
about the clients and that they did
not receive what they were entitled to receive. These people have
been wronged, harmed. They want answers
from a law firm that they put their trust in. I am not part of that law firm. I'm not indicted. But because of the last
few years, I'm tired, man. I'm beat down. I have self-doubt. I have negative loops
running in my head. I have negative
news coming at me. I've lost everything
and I'm starting over. Ah, Laia's here. Day one. Let's get this bread no? Come on. Are you excited? First day of school. You already look worn out. I found this $20 in the
front yard this morning. Just outside? Yes what does this mean? I'm just going to
take it as a good omen that money is
falling from the sky. Right and that's a there's
just going to be a few more zeros added on to that. Like several. Erika Jayne has arrived. Hi! I am so excited. Nice to see you.
Thanks for doing the job. Hey, sweetheart. Nice to see. Hi love. Mikey and I have worked together
hand in hand for so many years. He stuck it out with me. He believed in me
when nobody did. And when I got the deal, I said,
you know, here's the thing. Mikey has to be the director
and I have to have him. It's non-negotiable. In 30 days, we will be doing
our final dress rehearsal in Las Vegas on August 21st. So it's literally
30 days from today. And that's why also,
Jamie, is extra crucial. Having one person know
everything, everything. It's an insurance policy. So did you guys learn? Do you want to show? Yeah Once before lunch? Just to get her excited? Everybody sing along. Talking talking. I mean, off for four hours. I can't believe you
guys got that far. The show is divided into
six acts fantasy, love, escape, glitz, glamour, fun. Backed up with all of
my videos, my content. We made new stuff. We referenced the old things. We reimagined songs. We go way back to
Roller Coaster, Hop boys rock my world. I like to play
with all my girls. That money makes
me hard and tight. I love to bathe in
cash and pearls. Am I excited for this show? Absolutely it's an
incredible opportunity. I'm happy when I perform
and I want my audience members to be happy
and forget all of this other stuff outside. Let's just escape
for 80 minutes.
