The Housewife and the Hustler is a documentary detailing the legal scandal surrounding Thomas Girardi, the estranged husband of Erika Jayne, a cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Girardi is a prominent lawyer known for his work in high-profile cases, especially in fighting against corporate negligence in big cases such as the 1993 Pacific Gas and Electric lawsuit, which inspired the movie Erin Brockovich. The documentary alleges that Girardi embezzled millions of dollars meant for victims of a 2018 plane crash, among other things. Girardi and Jayne are now facing a bankruptcy lawsuit and an ongoing federal investigation. The documentary also explores Jayne's involvement in the scandal, as she profited from her husband's law firm and lavish spending, including a $40,000-per-month glam squad.
