Whoa!
Wilkes’ presence alongside Jayne is notable. As Perezcious readers might recall, he’s been serving to the RHOBH star out with money in current months to assist Erika by way of her ongoing authorized battles and main monetary woes amid the dramatic Girardi divorce.
In courtroom docs beforehand obtained by the US Sun, Wilkes was particularly named as having despatched Erika almost half 1,000,000 {dollars} in money to assist with authorized charges:
“Erika filed a summary judgment motion to get herself out of the case, and in response, the law firm noted that Erika was receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars for her legal fees from an attorney named James Lewis Wilkes, II, via Wilkes’ law firm.”
And it seems Wilkes’ dealings within the current previous aren’t vanilla. Far from it…
For one, the legal professional — who is understood for suing nursing houses on behalf of residents who have been abused or mistreated — filed for divorce from spouse Jessica Collins again in 2021. As Page Six notes, it’s not clear the place that case presently stands. But — at the least legally — he could also be in the same relationship place as Jayne.

There’s way more to Wilkes’ story, although. Early final month, he was arrested by cops at his Tampa Bay space house after allegedly firing two gunshots throughout a home dispute with an unnamed lady. According to the Tampa Bay Times, Wilkes claimed the lady had been placing him within the head, and he grabbed a handgun within the house to stop her from taking it. Then he informed cops he fired one spherical from the gun to “scare the woman” however didn’t goal it at her. She informed police a special story, although. Her declare was that Wilkes fired two rounds within the air earlier than holding the gun “to her head and torso” and threatening to kill her.
The lawyer was arrested for felony aggravated assault with a lethal weapon and misdemeanor battery. At the time of his arrest again in April, Wilkes’ legal professional Ronald Kurpiers informed the newspaper:
“He was attacked, and he was defending himself. That’s the extent of it.”
Per the newspaper, authorities in Tampa Bay have since mentioned they’re contemplating fees for the lady concerned within the incident, too. Obviously, Wilkes’ story is a bit completely different than what Jayne has been going by way of with Girardi.
Still, it’s surprising and salacious all the identical. Was Erika actually on an precise date with this man? Is she not nervous about turning into the lady within the subsequent scary incident like that? Hmm…
