RIVERSIDE ? 'O.C. Housewife' Lynne Curtin and husband Frank may file for bankruptcy the pair told reporters today.
They were in court so a real estate investor who won a $1.26 million judgment against them could check out their assets.
"Everyone thinks because of the show we're gazillionaires," Lynne Curtin said after coming out of the closed door session.
"When the economy turned we lost all of our money inreal estate investments. We've been trying to get back on our feet ever since then," Frank Curtin said.
The couple appeared in court under threat of arrest. When they didn't attend a hearing in the case last month, Superior Court Judge Bernard J. Schwartz issued a bench warrant, but set it aside to give them a chance to show up today.
The judgment was obtained by real estate investor Mercury Manzano, who said he wasn't paid after loaning the Curtins money for projects that didn't pan out.
The curtins and their attorney Franklin Casco Jr., said they would try to resolve the case
"informally" but the filing for bankruptcy is an option they are considering.
