Busted: Ramona Singer Allegedly Scammed Bravo With Fake Receipts For Designer Clothes!

Real Housewives of New York star, Ramona Singer, is being accused of having an assistant “routinely” bill Bravo for pricey clothing purchases, before directing the woman to return the items for a refund.

A former assistant is blowing the whistle on Ramona’s alleged scam, according to a new lawsuit — dished by Page Six.

Ramona “asked [Lisa] Taubes to purchase designer clothes for the filming of Ms. Singer’s show, and instructed plaintiff to submit receipts to Bravo cable Network for reimbursement,” the court papers, filed by agency T360, state. She “then asked Ms. Taubes to return the clothes for refund.”

The assistant also alleges that Ramona “instructed Plaintiff [to] submit fake receipts for reimbursement on clothes that she already owned and demanded plaintiff carry out these tasks,” according to the complaint, filed in Manhattan.

The 61-year-old reality star is being blasted by an agency called T360, which provided the assistant to the NYC Bravoleb. The reality star initially agreed pay $4k a month for 20 hours of assistant time — but the agency is alleging that Ramona demanded more than 40 hours a week from their employee — with no additional compensation — in violation of their contract.

Taubes is claiming that she was forced to walk Ramona’s dog Coco — “outside the scope of the agreement” — and was required to be on call 24/7.

The lawsuit cites breach of contract, and is seeking more than $150k in damages. The complaint states that Ramona eventually “humiliated” Taubes by publicly firing her in the lobby of her building, before demanding that she sign a non-disclosure agreement. Taubes says that her refusal triggered Ramona to push her, which caused the contents of her purse to scatter all over the floor of the lobby. 

The Bravo vet told Page Six.

“I have no knowledge of any lawsuit. Her company did some work for my company. The relationship ended and her company was paid in full for their services.”

Interestingly, Ramona’s co-star, Bethenny Frankel, has gone on record, accusing Ramona of swiping a dress during an appearance on her defunct talk show, “Bethenny.”

“The executive producer comes in with other people and they go, ‘We have a situation. She took a dress. She put it in her bag and she just walked out,’” Bethenny explained during the Season 7 reunion.

Ramona claimed that the garment fell out of the back of her car, but later posted an Instagram pic, wearing the dress.

Has Ramona finally been nailed as a designer thief?
