We are doing something different today and interviewing a member of our legal team, Monica Nguyen. Monica is a Deputy Public Defender that specializes in competency and has been working solely in mental health for 15 years. Monica digs into the court's decision on Tom Girardi's competency and provides her opinion, based on her experience, of the decision and what the court could have addressed further. Monica can be found on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/mentalhealthlawyer/ As an initial note, this is not at all to defend what Tom did, but rather is an opportunity to consider the order from a different perspective with an attorney who is experienced in the subject matter. This is not our practice area so when we can rely on members of the legal team who do practice in the area, we want them to share.

We have all have been asking for years when Girardi is going to face criminal charges and we finally have the answer. The federal court issued a detailed and at times shocking order with receipts, proof, and a detailed timeline starting with the 2017 auto accident that Erika first spoke about on RHOBH. We discuss it in detail in part 1 of this two part series.

Picture this: it was early 2021, we had just released our first podcast episode and were trying to learn how to market our newly minted Instagram account. We searched for other creators to connect with and found an account that had shared headline making, leaked audio of Jen Shah. This was pre-arrest so it was the only Jen "tea" that was out at the time. This account had 2000+ followers and counting then, but it seemed like they had an in or were incredibly good at finding sources. We added them to stay on top of the news. But shortly after, Jen was arrested and the tone shifted as the account's goal seemed to be to completely take down Jen. Our content soon appeared on their page. We exchanged some DMs. The account then fledged a full blown war on Jen. This was Reality Von Tease and this is our breakdown of our interactions, the timeline, the receipts, the proof, the evidence, and our thoughts on it all.

After consuming a higher than average amount of reality television this weekend, I saw examples of surrogacy and got to thinking about the laws in place to protect surrogates and parents. This week's legal brief looks at the laws specifically in California surrounding surrogacy and what all parties involved should consider before pursuing that role or avenue. I am not barred in California but was drawn to discuss surrogacy because recent examples of surrogacy I have seen on TV have occurred in California. Information from this episode was pulled from various websites summarizing California law.

We're picking up where we left off - answering what it means to be found competent to stand trial. This episode focuses on the arguments Tom's defense counsel made on why he should be found incompetent to stand trial and we get into the difference between competency and the insanity defense, with references to Mob Wives, the Sopranos, a few serial killers and an insanity defense that actually worked for Lorena Bobbitt. As mentioned in the episode, we are hosting a meet-up on Saturday, November 4 at 6pm in Las Vegas, Bravo-Con weekend. Information on how to attend can be found HERE, click me!
