The hits keep coming. Tom Girardi‘s former law firm, Girardi Keese, is $101 million in debt, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly.

The trustee handling the firm’s bankruptcy case filed the documents on Tuesday, August 24, in order to amend the schedule of assets and liabilities. After reviewing Girardi Keese’s records, the trustee determined that the firm owes a total of $101,007,652.46 to creditors. The firm’s assets, meanwhile, total only $4,130,773.59.

“Suffice it to say that the [Girardi Keese’s] accounting offices were not well maintained,” the documents stated. “Financial records (bank statements, invoices, tax returns, and other financial records) and other mail and papers were piled high on each and every flat surface and in no discernable order. Much of what the Trustee found upon her appointment was very dated.”

The news comes days after the California Federal Court officially disbarred Girardi, 82, on Friday, August 20. Us confirmed that the former attorney did not contest the decision.

The Colorado native’s legal troubles have spiraled since November 2020, when his wife, Erika Jayne, filed for divorce. One month later, a lawsuit accused the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 50, and Tom of using their divorce to hide assets.

More recently, Girardi Keese sold some of the Pretty Mess author’s “collectibles” as part of an auction held to pay back creditors.

“These are all seized items,” a source told Us earlier this month. “She had no approval on what was going to be auctioned off and what’s not auctioned off.”

The insider noted that she didn’t “have a say either way” about the auction. “She’s just letting the law firm do what it needs to do,” the source explained. “She wants the payment to be settled so she can just move on in life.”

Throughout Tom’s ongoing legal drama, the former Broadway star has maintained her innocence. (She has not been charged with a crime.)

During the July 14 episode of RHOBH, the “Painkillr” songstress admitted that her estranged husband’s health was in decline. “He’s not good,” she explained. “Tom is a proud man. One of the reasons I filed for divorce was the resistance to anything. The resistance to a conversation. The resistance to, ‘Hey, I’ve noticed that you can’t see well.’ … You can’t see. You can’t hear. You’re f—king degrading in front of me and you’re ignoring it.”

Earlier this year, the former lawyer was placed under a temporary conservatorship after being diagnosed with dementia and late-onset Alzheimer’s. His brother, Robert Girardi, was appointed as his conservator. Tom objected to the arrangement in a June court hearing, but the conservatorship was made permanent that same month.

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
