Monica Garcia BREAKS SILENCE on Losing Court Battle to Heather Gay: ‘Bad Decision’
Monica Garcia is far from pleased after losing a court case to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City co-star Heather Gay. Heather, who owns Beauty Lab + Laser, sued Monica over unpaid bills, claiming Monica visited her spa without settling her debts.
While Heather walked away victorious with a $35,000 settlement awarded by the court, Monica is determined to fight back, calling the court’s decision “shocking and bad” and confirming plans to appeal.
During the Season 4 reunion, Monica briefly apologized for her behavior but stood firm on her claims against Beauty Lab, asserting the spa had botched her nose and lip injections. Despite her countersuit, the judge ruled in Heather’s favor.
In response, Monica took to Instagram, where she shared her frustration, writing, “This was a shocking and bad decision.” She then referenced current national issues, saying, “The fact that this lawsuit was even news on a day like yesterday says a lot. I’m in shock this morning.”
Monica also addressed the backlash she’s received, noting, “I was surprised by the disgusting, hateful comments online, rejoicing in my ‘downfall,’” and offered support to those feeling “fearful, devastated, shaken, anxious, or lost” in these times.
The legal dispute between Monica Garcia and Heather Gay began in August 2023 when Heather’s company, Beauty Lab + Laser, filed a lawsuit against Monica for breach of contract. The suit alleged that Monica failed to pay for cosmetic injection services totaling $2,449, having only made an initial payment of $449.
Beauty Lab sought to recover the outstanding balance, citing breach of contract and the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
In response, Monica filed a countersuit in September 2023, claiming that the procedures performed by Beauty Lab were “botched” and negligently executed, resulting in diminished appearance rather than improvement. She sought damages for the alleged negligence and breach of contract, requesting compensation for the unsatisfactory services.
Catch the drama on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, airing Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
