(UPDATE – TOM GIRARDI SENTENCED TO 7 YEARS IN PRISON)

Tom Girardi Is Going to Prison…And Yes, It’s On His Birthday. News of Tom Girardi’s prison sentence has captured significant public interest.

Well, happy birthday indeed. Disgraced high-powered attorney Tom Girardi, best known in pop culture as Erika Jayne’s ex-husband, is being sentenced today (on his 86th birthday) to prison, not a treatment facility. It’s a stark reminder of how his prison sentence has marked a dramatic fall from grace.

Girardi, once considered legal royalty in Los Angeles, is now officially convicted of stealing over $15 million from injured clients, operating what federal prosecutors described as a long-running Ponzi scheme. Think: settlement money that was supposed to go to plane crash victims and burn survivors…yeah, that kind of low.

There was a bit of legal drama over whether Girardi should even serve time behind bars, given his age and dementia diagnosis. His legal team wanted a treatment facility, but nope. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Josephine Staton shut that down after hearing from four medical experts, two from the government and two from the defense. Her ruling? The U.S. Bureau of Prisons is capable of caring for him. Yes, despite the dementia, Tom’s going to prison. The discussion about Tom Girardi’s prison sentence underscores the complexity of his case.

The official sentencing hearing is today (June 3), and we’ll be keeping an eye on how many years he gets.

Honestly? This whole saga feels like a Housewives plot that went too far, and now, it’s playing out in real court, not just Bravo court.
