The producers of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills are reportedly prepared to give the courts a fuller view of behind-the-scenes statements Erika Jayne made if requested by the courts.
A source close to the Bravo reality series says the show's producers are 'prepared' to release 'unaired footage and multimedia' featuring both Jayne, 50, and her estranged husband Tom Girardi, 82, The Sun reported on Friday.
The former couple are currently embroiled in a lawsuit accusing them of embezzling funds intended for the families of victims of a fatal Lion Air plane crash from 2018.

'Producers are aware the legal case is only going to intensify and are prepared, if asked by the courts, to help the discovery process by releasing unaired footage and multimedia featuring the Girardis,' the source claimed.
'Producers have been advised by their legal team they may be forced to turn over any footage or audio which may help the court get a clearer picture of the case,' they continued.
'This is because much of the wealth she flaunted early on in the series is believed by so many to have come from the Lion Air crash victims.
The source also claimed the producers were willing to put aside their positive feelings for the reality star in order to assist in the court proceedings.
'Producers are on Erika's side because they have had, up until this point, a good working relationship with her, but they want to help the case and do what's right,' the source added.

Despite the alleged fond feelings for Jayne from the production staff, the feelings don't seem to be reciprocated by the singer and actress.
The sourced added that she feels 'betrayed' by the show's producers, and she allegedly doesn't think they've been supportive amid her ongoing legal battles.
Jayne's costar Lisa Rinna may have illustrated some of the reported tension between Jayne and the producers when she claimed that the singer had gotten into a 'screaming fight' with a producer while filming.
The shouting match allegedly occurred on a trip the RHOBH stars took to La Quinta, near Palm Springs.
'Dang it… I wish they had shown the screaming fight between the producer and Erika last night on the show in La Quinta,' Rinna dished in an Instagram Stories post from Thursday.
'Now that would have been epic TV. Too bad. Bravo Bravo f****** Bravo..'
The actress joked that she would likely 'get in trouble for this in…. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 .'
