Former 'Real Housewives' Regular Sentenced to 87 Months in Prison originally appeared on Parade.
Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Thomas Girardi has been sentenced to 87 months behind bars, according to NBC News. The disgraced lawyer, who appeared on the Bravo franchise when he was married to Erika Jayne, received his sentencing — which included more than $2 million in restitution to victims — on June 3.
The now-86-year-old was found guilty on four charges related to wire fraud and embezzlement after the prosecution claimed that he stole millions of dollars from some of his former clients.
In August 2024, Girardi testified in his fraud trial.
'The last thing I would do would be to take someone's money,' Girardi said on the stand, according to Courthouse News Service. "I wouldn't think of it."
Months prior, Girardi was deemed competent to stand trial despite being diagnosed with late-onset Alzheimer's disease and dementia three years earlier.Jayne, 53, filed for divorce from Girardi in 2020. He was stripped of his license to practice law and was eventually placed in a conservatorship, with his brother, Rob Girardi, stepping in as his conservator.
In May 2022, Jayne shared an update on her ex-husband.
"I can only say decline and further decline. It will not get better," she told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. She went on to say that her ex was still under investigation at that time.
"They're still investigating. I'm not defending him, but I'm also taking care of myself at the same time," she added. "I saw Tom do a lot of good things for people so you think some of those people perhaps would be like, 'Hey Erika, how are you doing?' But that has not happened."
Girardi is expected to surrender to federal authorities to begin his prison sentence on July 17.

Kristin Cavallari Wears Cleavage-Baring Little Black Dress After Revealing She Had Her Breasts Redone
Kristin Cavallari showed off her updated breast augmentation in a figure-hugging black dress In May, the reality star revealed she had the procedure redone because she was unhappy with how her breasts looked Cavallari also revealed that, following the surgery, she discovered one of her implants had rupturedKristin Cavallari is showing off her new-and-improved breast augmentation. On Wednesday, June 4, the Laguna Beach alum, 38, stepped out in New York City to celebrate the premiere of her new reality show, Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour. For an appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Cavallari wore a cleavage-baring black dress with a halter neckline. In an Instagram post, the star shows off her chest in a mirror selfie. The Uncommon James founder also shared a full-length shot of her outfit, as well as a close-up snap of her gold earring stack. Fans couldn't help but call out Cavallari's new physique. "The bewbies look hot mawma!!! Congrats 🙌🔥❤️" one user commented. "The boobs are boobingggggg 🔥," another shared. A third user had a message for the haters, writing, "People commenting about your boobs negatively= jealous! You look amazing and always have!" On the May 27 episode of her podcast, Let's Be Honest, Cavallari shared that she 'recently got my boobs redone' because she didn't like the way they looked — which she later learned was the result of a ruptured implant. The star said she went in for a consultation after she wasn't happy with the way her right breast was 'laying.' At first, she thought it was the result of gravity, explaining, 'Things happen so gradually. There wasn't a moment where I was like, 'My boobs look different,' or, like, 'My boobs aren't laying right.' I knew that my boobs were not laying how I wanted them to lay." 'Particularly the right one was not ... and I thought like maybe gravity over time had taken hold, but it just wasn't how I wanted it, right? It just wasn't ideal," she continued. Cavallari shared that she didn't learn about the condition of her implant until after the surgery. "There is no way of knowing how long this implant was ruptured for,' she said. 'My body then formed a huge piece of scar tissue around it ... that's why my right boob was definitely not laying right and it was f----- up. I had a ruptured implant, which is crazy to think about." ! 'I guess maybe I could go through my camera roll and like try to figure out when my boobs started going a little f------ cross-eyed,' she said. Cavallari noted that despite the scare, she "was not ready to take out" her implants. As she explained, "I'm 38, I'm still young, I have a whole life to live, I'm single."

And so, you know, I'm sure some people won't understand that and that's okay — because it's not your body." Read the original article on People

Former Republican congressman launches Democratic gubernatorial campaign in Florida
David Jolly was a Republican member of Congress for a couple of terms, serving his Tampa-area constituents before losing a re-election bid in 2016, narrowly coming up short against Charlie Crist — a Republican-turned-Democrat who ended up running for governor. Nearly a decade later, an eerily similar set of circumstances are unfolding: Jolly, like Crist, left the Republican Party. Jolly, like Crist, became a Democrat. And Jolly, like Crist, is now running for governor under his new party banner. NBC News reported: Democrats face a huge uphill climb in 2026 to retake Florida's governorship for the first time in more than two decades, but David Jolly says he is up to the challenge. Jolly, a former Republican congressman who left the party in large part because of his opposition to President Donald Trump, is announcing Thursday that he is running for governor. Though Election Day 2026 is still more than a year away, Jolly is now the first and only high-profile candidate to launch a Democratic statewide bid, though there are other potential candidates who've expressed an interest in the race. (Disclosure: Jolly is a former MSNBC political contributor, who's made frequent on-air and online appearances.) By any fair measure, no matter who wins the Democratic nomination in 2026, whether it's the former congressman or not, the gubernatorial race is likely to be challenging. While Florida used to be seen as the nation's largest and most competitive battleground, the Sunshine State has moved sharply to the right in recent years, solidifying its reputation as a red state, despite having backed Barack Obama's presidential candidacy twice in 2008 and 2012. Indeed, Floridians haven't elected a Democratic governor in more than three decades, though the 2018 race was extraordinarily close. But as the contest unfolds, it's also worth pausing to note some of the broader political shifts underway. The Democratic Party has, to be sure, lost some notable figures in recent months. In Florida, for example, the party's state Senate leader abandoned Democrats in April, and in Kentucky and Texas, other longtime Democratic officials recently became Republicans. Even Karine Jean Pierre, Joe Biden's former White House press secretary, announced this week that she's also left the party, a move that coincided with the release of her new book. But the door isn't swinging entirely in one direction. Illinois' Joe Walsh, for example, was elected to Congress in 2010 as a Tea Party Republican, and this week, the former lawmaker, disgusted with the direction of the Trump-era GOP, became a Democrat. Jolly has followed a similar path. In other words, even as Democrats lose some figures, it's gaining others — most notably some former Republicans looking for a far less radical new home.
