Erika Jayne, two of her assistants, current and former U.S. Secret Service agents, and American Express are the targets of a lawsuit brought by Christopher Psaila, a co-owner of a Hollywood costume company.
Psaila, a plaintiff in this case, charged Erika Jayne and her formerly powerful husband, former Los Angeles attorney Tom Girardi, with corruption within federal law enforcement.
In his 70-page lawsuit, Christopher Psaila alleged that Erika Jayne and her ex-husband “weaponized the Secret Service to maliciously prosecute” him in 2017 in order to get a $787,000 refund from American Express at a time when the Girardi family was “in desperate financial straits” and to obtain the money, the Girardi family was “in desperate financial straits.”
Chris Psaila, who is he?
The co-owner of the costume shop Marco Marco is Chris Psaila. The business is renowned for dressing many pop stars. He claimed that during the years 2015 and 2016, Erika Jayne and her two assistants were aware of the numerous costumes and services they had purchased from his business. They allegedly told American Express and federal agents that the charges on their credit card had not been authorized, despite making false statements to both parties.
Psaila claimed that Erika Jayne and her team were the subject of a careless Secret Service investigation. He claimed that crucial information that might have cleared his name was willfully ignored by them.
Psaila claimed in the court documents that Erika and Tom intentionally mishandled the Secret Service in order to bring a vindictive case against him. Agent Robert Savage, who was in charge of the Secret Service’s Los Angeles office at the time, was thought to have been bribed by the ex-couple, in his opinion.
Erika and Psaila started working together in 2014, and their relationship was trouble-free until she made false accusations, according to Psaila. She asserted that between 2015 and 2016, Psaila made between $800,000 and $900,000 in unauthorized charges on her credit card. Psaila adamantly insisted that Erika had actually received all of the clothing and services for which these charges had been made.
