VANCOUVER — A former reality TV star has been ordered to pay special costs by a judge who says she was manipulative and lied during divorce proceedings.
The decision by Justice Miriam Gropper follows several 2014 family law rulings against Jody Claman, who appeared in the now-defunct "Real Housewives of Vancouver" series.
Gropper says Claman tried to mislead and deceive the court numerous times, did not comply with orders and used delay tactics as part of her "reprehensible conduct throughout the proceedings."
She says Claman deliberately and persistently failed to disclose documents and dissipated assets, which she is "probably concealing."
A court registrar will now calculate just how much Claman will have to pay her ex-husband, Eran Friedlander.
Gropper has already awarded the pair joint custody of their daughter but gave Friedlander the final say in her education while ordering Claman to pay him nearly $600,000 and dismissing her claim for spousal support.
