Erika Jayne and her estranged husband Tom Girardi have dropped the price of their lavish Pasadena mansion yet again amid their ongoing legal battle and pending divorce.
The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star, 50, and disgraced lawyer, 82, slashed $1 million off the listing, bringing the price down to $8.9 million, according to the listing.
This comes just two months after the exes reduced the price of the mansion by over $3 million, a major markdown from when the property was first put on the market for $13 million back in May.

The 1920s-crafted home is the image of luxury. The property welcomes visitors with a long pool and surrounding water features that lead up to the home.
Inside, there is a stunning staircase, sky-high ceilings, a cozy library, offices, and a world-class kitchen with chic fixtures and a French stove with a blue back splash.
All the good times the exes shared in the home, however, are a thing of the past, with the duo currently embroiled in controversy.
Erika filed for divorce from Tom in November 2020, but shortly afterward the two were sued by the family of victims of the Lion Air Flight 610 crash, who accused them of embezzling funs intended for the families.

The lawsuit alleged that their divorce was merely a ‘sham’ to help protect their assets.
Last month, the trustee handling the bankruptcy case for Girardi’s law firm sued Jayne for $25 million, claiming that she had spent around that amount in funds given to her by her husband from the firm’s coffers.
‘She attempts to create a distinction between handing her money directly versus paying all of her bills directly,’ the suit said, according to Page Six. ‘The distinction, like her prior motion for reconsideration, is meritless. Any payments made for her benefit are her responsibility.’

The trustee also claimed that she had feigned ‘willful blindness’ and was aware of where the money came from.
Jayne’s attorneys downplayed the accusations in a statement to the publication.
‘Unfortunately, the amended complaint is another example of the trustee and her counsel jumping to conclusions without a full investigation, and bullying and blaming Erika for actions taken by Girardi Keese for which Erika does not have legal liability,’ they said, claiming that the trustee was ‘overreaching.’
‘Erika will defend the case, and we will seek sanctions and all appropriate remedies for the claims brought in bad faith and without any legal merit.’

DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that Girardi had taken up residence in a senior living home in Burbank, California, last month amid reports he had been diagnosed with dementia and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease earlier this year.
The Belmont Village Senior Living facility in Southern California costs more than $5,000 per month for a private suite and boasts chef-prepared dining with 24 daily choices of meals and staff that are on duty at all hours of the day.
Citing his ‘major neurocognitive disorder,’ Girardi’s brother Robert recently instituted a conservatorship for him.
Last month on RHOBH, Jayne shared her opinions about her ex-husband ongoing legal troubles.
‘I think what has happened to Tom here is that he’s not mentally capable, and he’s in sole control of his firm,’ she said. ‘And I think that it got away from him. I think that we’re dealing with a man who is [at a] diminished capacity in control, and not doing the right thing. Because if he stole the money, I’d like to know where it is. You know, that’s the truth.’
