Ronald Richards posted images of legal documents to his personal Instagram page on July 12, with a detailed caption explaining that he and his wife were attempting to purchase Erika Jayne’s former house from the trustee. “This is so our followers can see how the victims’ money was spent and to get a piece of the decadence,” Richards wrote. The lengthy caption continued, “We will also use it for a public forum on first amendment activities, something Erika and her legal team strongly are against. They want secret hearings and trials, not public scrutiny.” It’s not entirely clear what is meant by “public forum on first amendment activities,” but hey, we’re not the lawyers here. Richards added, “Ultimately, the property will be rehabbed and liquidated after the Estate proceeds are disbursed.”
The Instagram account All About the Real Housewives also posted about the proposed sale, including (alleged) screen grabs from Richards’ wife Lauren Boyette Richards’ Instagram Stories, which showed a bird’s eye view of the Pasadena mansion with the caption, “Awe, she’s cute. What should we name her?”
From the documents posted to Richards’ account, it looks as though the couple has put in a $6.9 million offer. According to the New York Post, the mansion is currently in foreclosure for around $8 million. The Post also notes that Jayne is not listed as an owner of the property. So, we’re not sure what the point here actually is.
