The plot thickens!

Just when you think the drama between Erika Jayne and attorney Ronald Richards couldn’t get any stranger – it does!

On Wednesday, the attorney announced via Instagram that he and his wife Lauren Boyette Richards are in the process of trying to purchase Tom Girardi and Erika’s former Pasadena mansion.

For context, Richards was a trustee in Tom’s bankruptcy case before stepping down. He’s also currently involved in a $5 million fraud lawsuit against Erika.

Despite the potential conflict of interest, Richards and his wife put in a $6.9 million offer on the Pasadena estate.

“Since our offer will be part of any motion to approve, we are releasing it now so you are aware @laurenboyetterichards and I are attempting to purchase @theprettymess”s house from the Trustee. This is so our followers can see how the victims’ money was spent and to get a piece of the decadence,” Richards shared via Instagram

“We will also use it for a public forum on first amendment activities, something Erika and her legal team strongly are against. They want secret hearings and trials, not public scrutiny. We will have her deposition there along with other players in the case,” he continued.

“Ultimately, the property will be rehabbed and liquidated after the Estate proceeds are disbursed. We are hopeful there are no further delays in selling this deteriorating asset that is having its equity eroded on a monthly basis. Let’s finally make a deal.”

Richards’ wife was a little less subtle when she announced the news on her Instagram. The former actress/model tagged Erika in the posts and taunted her saying, “Awe, she’s cute. What should we name her?”

In another post, she continued her taunts: “Finally ready for that tea @theprettymess? Perhaps after I renovate the place.”

Naturally, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star couldn’t help but comment on this all. I mean it’s pretty bizarre.

“Uhhh how are you going to get this museum past the homeowners association? I think they like their privacy,” Erika commented on Richards’ post.

She added, “Wow! I’m THAT important! I knew you and your wife were SUPER FANS. This really confirms it. Enjoy.”

Richards quipped that he’s “a fan of justice.”

However, Richards’ wife jumped into the conversation and got into a squabble with Erika.

“@Laurenboyetterichards does it bother you that your husband is OBSESSED with me? Kinda weird,” Erika commented.

Boyette-Richards replied, “don’t flatter yourself. I’ve never even seen the show. Working on what matters most- getting monies owed back to these hundreds of victims. Something you should be more focused on instead of your ‘glam.'”

Check out what else they had to say to each other below!

I don’t often agree with Erika but these two are obsessed with her and are clearly desperate for their 15 minutes of fame.

Making amends!

Kyle Richards reveals that she and her husband Mauricio Umansky “immediately” apologized to Garcelle Beauvais for laughing about Erika Jayne cursing out her 14-year-old son.

The Real Housewives Beverly Hills OG said she “felt terrible” watching herself laughing about Erika’s drunken outburst.

“You’d think after 12 years, I would know better, but we screwed up — I did. I messed up,” Kyle confessed.

“My husband and I both, of course, apologized to Garcelle,” Kyle told fans during an Amazon Livestream on Tuesday, July 12. “I didn’t put that in my Instagram Stories when I was explaining it because, honestly, when I apologized, it was genuine.”

She added that she reached out to Garcelle privately for a reason even though she knew she’d get some backlash on social media for not making a public apology.

“I felt like it was personal between us and I didn’t want to do that and go tell everybody, because it was for Garcelle, not for everyone else. But I’m saying it now because people think I didn’t apologize to her, but my husband and I did immediately. I felt terrible watching that scene. That’s why I don’t wanna watch the show right now, personally, because I never, ever, ever should’ve commented on something that I didn’t see,” Kyle explained.

Erika Jayne is feeling “relieved” and “is doing the best she can” amid her recent loss in court over a pair of “sentimental” diamond earrings.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was ordered by a court to turn over a pair of diamond earrings, valued at $1.4 million. The earrings were gifted to the reality TV star by her estranged husband Tom Girardi in 2007.

Last week a judge ruled that Erika had to turn over a pair of diamond earrings because they were considered “stolen property” since Tom allegedly used stolen money from his clients to fund his and Erika’s  “lavish lifestyle.”

“It wasn’t easy for [Erika] to part ways with something that was sentimental to her,” a source close to RHOBH production told PEOPLE, “but she knows she needed to do it and she complied.”

The source adds that Erika turned over the earrings “months ago.”

“Now that the ruling has happened, she’s somewhat relieved a decision has been made and she can officially focus on moving on,” the source notes. “She honestly just wants all of this behind her and will do whatever is necessary to do so. She is doing the best she can to move forward with her life.”
