Christina Fulton was with the MandyActor for just a few short years in the 1980s. However, they have a son together. According to court documents filed by Erika Jayne on July 14, which were obtained by the Court, the ex-model is currently suing Erika Jayne and two attorneys over funds she received in a car accident settlement.

She claimed that she was not aware of the transaction. According to the suit:
This was a deliberate forgery. [Fulton]Never endorsed the check nor did I agree to deposit it. In fact, the negotiated check was forgery and a fabrication. The check was not held in trust, but it was spent. It is beyond shocking and the pale that the firm would conceal the arrival of the check and not obtain Ms. Fulton’s endorsement as required by law.

It’s a distraction tactic and specious for lawyers representing former [Girardi & Keese] clients to use Erika’s lifestyle and persona on a ‘Housewives’Show as an excuse for her to sue.
