is blatantly misleading. $25,000,000 was paid from Girardi & Keese and was never paid back. All the money was spent on Erika´s personal expenses. She then improperly deducted it from her joint tax returns as expenses. It was for only 4 her benefit.
Garcelle: “Other than Erika saying its been disproven, I’ve seen nothing. Not in the papers, not in the blogs. Nowhere. If this is true, why isn’t it in the press?”
She’s startin’
