"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne's husband has been hit with another lawsuit.
The reality star's estranged husband, Tom Girardi, has been sued by Wells Fargo Bank for allegedly failing to pay over $800,000 in rent, maintenance, taxes, overages and more, Fox News confirmed.
In the lawsuit, first reported by Us Weekly, Wells Fargo accused Girardi of entering into five separate lease agreements with the bank. Girardi, and his legal firm based in Los Angeles named Girardi Keese, allegedly stopped making monthly payments in July and August, thus breaching their contract, the bank claims.
Wells Fargo is now asking for the outstanding bill of $882,715 to be paid "immediately," the magazine reported. The report adds that the company is also tacking on interest to the amount owed, at 10% per annum from the date of default.

The lawsuit comes on the heels of another filed against Girardi, his law firm, and Jayne. In court documents obtained by Fox News last week, Chicago-based firm Edelson PC is suing the couple and several co-defendants for allegedly embezzling millions of dollars allegedly intended as settlement money to family members of victims of the 2018 Lion Air crash.
Edelson PC claimed Girardi represented the family members and then pocketed their settlements to fund his and his estranged wife's lavish lifestyles. Reps for the couple did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment about the accusations.
