'The Housewife and The Hustler 2: The Reckoning' premieres Feb. 12 on Hulu.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne once again finds herself at the center of a highly anticipated documentary, The Housewife and The Hustler 2: The Reckoning.
This sequel, announced by ABC News Studios and L.A. Times Studios on Tuesday, will delve deeper into the unraveling of ex-attorney Tom Girardi's legal empire and confront Jayne with the victims of his alleged financial crimes.
The documentary, set to premiere on Hulu on Monday, Feb. 12, promises a compelling investigation into Girardi’s deeds and the impact on those closest to Jayne.
"This story was a nuclear explosion," declares a voiceover in the trailer, setting the tone for the documentary that will expose the extent of Girardi's legal troubles. The sequel takes a bold step by bringing Jayne face-to-face with her estranged husband's victims, capturing the moment she is confronted by the harsh reality of the alleged financial misdeeds.
In the trailer, investigative reporter Matt Hamilton from the Los Angeles Times acknowledges the gravity of the situation, stating, "Today, several victims will get a chance to finally meet Erika Girardi." As the trailer unfolds, viewers witness Jayne entering a home to sit down with the victims, expressing her struggle to find the right words.
"I'm at sort of a loss for what to say," admits Jayne, prompting one affected woman to inquire, "Did you see the documentary?" The documentary not only promises to reveal the untold stories of those close to Jayne but also provides a platform for the victims to share their experiences.
Legal experts weigh in on the "crashing and burning" of Girardi's legal empire, questioning Jayne's knowledge of Girardi's actions. Amid the turmoil, co-owners of design studio MARCO MARCO, Marco Morante and Chris Psaila, claim that Jayne turned on them when she needed money, alleging her involvement in at least one injustice.
The trailer teases an audio recording from Girardi, labeling him a "master manipulator," while victims describe him as "the devil." Lawyers express astonishment at a Real Housewife being entangled in such a massive scheme, emphasizing the need for accountability.
As the documentary unfolds, Jayne is asked why it took her so long to address the allegations. She responds, "I was never asked to do this. Nobody was really interested in my side of the story."
