In May 2022, RHOBH‘s Erika Jayne hinted at her estranged husband Tom Girardi’s health decline, but many hoped for better. Sadly, a few months later, reports revealed that Erika Jayne’s estranged husband’s health issues had worsened. The news comes one year after doctors diagnosed the former respected but now-disgraced lawyer with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Here are the details of the whole story.
Tom Girardi Is Not Getting Any Better
On October 18, 2022, Tom’s lawyer filed new legal documents, revealing that the former attorney’s Alzheimer’s disease had worsened. Due to the decline in Erika Jayne’s estranged husband’s health, the lawyer requested that Tom’s conservatorship be moved to Orange County.
The court document noted that Tom was recently transferred to an assisted-living facility in Orange County in July 2022 after suffering more memory loss. Hence, the need for the court to transfer the case. Before moving into the Orange County facility, Tom resided at Belmont Village Senior Living Facility in Burbank, Los Angeles County.
He moved into the facility in September 2021 after a mental evaluation showed that he was battling Alzheimer’s and dementia. Over a year later, the court documents claim that Tom is likely to reside permanently in the Orange County assisted-living facility.
In the coming months, the public can only sit back and watch how things unfold for the former attorney.
Inside Tom and Erika’s Estranged Relationship
Tom’s worsened Alzheimer’s disease comes almost two years after RHOBH‘s Erika Jayne filed for divorce. The pair were married for 21 years before they shocked the world with the news of their separation. Despite being apart for two years, Tom and Erika are yet to finalize their divorce.
The public might not hear the news of the estranged couple’s official divorce anytime soon. Erika recently revealed that finalizing the split is not on her mind as she does not want to pay alimony.
According to the reality TV star, staying married to Tom, for now, might be the best option. In the meantime, Erika can only hope that her estranged husband’s health does not decline further.
