Dorit Kemsley had been hit with a new barrage of alleged evidence after she was accused of not paying her hairstylist money he was owed.
Late last week, the 48-year-old Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star's hairstylist Chris Dylan posted multiple text messages allegedly between himself and Dorit as he claimed that she had stiffed him for work performed.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Dorit's representative for comment.
The controversy — which comes after Dorit's RHOBH costar Sutton Stracke mockingly labeled her 'Poorit' — began last week, when another one of Chris' clients, Tracy Tutor, accused Dorit of not 'pay[ing] her bills' while appearing on Jeff Lewis SiriusXM radio show.
In response, Dorit claimed that Chris was trying to 'bully' her into paying an invoice that had allegedly already been taken care of by her office when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Tuesday.
At the time, her hairstylist didn't appear to have made any of his allegations public, but he chose to speak up in a TikTok video after feeling that he had been 'dragged on TV by Dorit,' which he said sent him 'over the edge.'

After Tracy Tutor accused Dorit of not paying hairstylist Chris Dylan on Jeff Lewis Live, Dorit claimed he 'bull[ied] her to make an improper payment' on Watch What Happens Live. He took to TikTok late last week to share his perspective
'Back in November, I was in New York City and I was asked by Dorit if I could stay an extra four days to do her glam for Watch What Happens Live as well as a photo shoot that she had taking place during her stay,' he claimed on TikTok, via Reality Blurb.
'Dorit offered to pay for my hotel room for the duration of our stay, which was three nights, four days. She offered to send over her credit card so I could extend my stay,' Chris continued.
He included a screenshot of text messages allegedly sent between himself and Dorit that showed him asking about the room extension.
As Dorit was not yet at the hotel to pay in person, it required a credit card authorization form with her information, so Chris seemingly asked for her to either fill out the form or send her credit card info so that he could take care of it himself.
'Morning baby! Yes, send me that or I can just call?' Dorit allegedly replied, referring to the authorization.
'Ok sending you now,' she allegedly said in a follow-up message, along with sending a photo of a credit card, which Chris had blurred to remove compromising information.
A second screenshot appeared to show that Dorit had sent her address as well, though her hairstylist had scrambled the text to make it unreadable.
'Ok perfect ur a gem!' Chris replied, before saying he was going to 'sign' Dorit's name for her.

Text messages allegedly showed Chris asking Dorit to fill out a credit card authorization form to pay for his extended stay, since she wasn't yet there in person to pay at the hotel
Afterward, he said he flew down to Miami, only to learn that he had allegedly been charged for the three hotel nights that Dorit had seemingly agreed to pay for
According to Chris, he assumed Dorit was good for the money and wasn't concerned about the snafu, so he just put the hotel charge on his invoice for the trip, but Dorit allegedly never paid it
However, his next reply indicated that there was a roadblock, as he also needed Dorit's ID, so instead he allegedly sent her additional authorization forms to complete the process herself.
In his video, Chris said his stay in NYC to work for Dorit turned out to be a 'really great trip.'
Afterward, he said he flew down to Miami, only to learn that he had allegedly been charged for the three hotel nights that Dorit had seemingly agreed to pay for.
'So I phoned the hotel, just to see what was going on, and they let me know that the card on file could not [be] processed. So my card, being the second card for incidentals, was indeed charged,' Chris claimed.
'I just chalked this up to maybe her card got declined due to a fraud alert, maybe because I would assume she was putting her card down for her room as well, and maybe both charges for the same room and the same stay flagged something,' he mused.
According to Chris, he assumed Dorit was good for the money and wasn't concerned about the snafu.
He said planned to just add it to the bill he would send the reality star to pay for extensions he had purchased to use on her, along with his fees for doing her hair on the Big Apple trip.
Chris said he sent the invoice to Dorit's account as usual, and then a month later he submitted an invoice for work he had performed for Dorit in December, after the New York trip.
In his video, he stressed that at the time he was still 'working with Dorit' as if nothing unusual had happened, and he accompanied her on another work trip later to Utah; seen in 2018 with Paul 'PK' Kemsley
Chris said he finally confronted Dorit about the unpaid invoice, and she claimed to have an issue with it because it had allegedly already been paid off
In his video, he stressed that at the time he was still 'working with Dorit' as if nothing unusual had happened, and he accompanied her on another work trip later to Utah.
'We were chatting every few days. We were working together weekly. And I was also chatting with her accountant, trying to find out when I would be paid,' he claimed.
According to Chris, Dorit's accountant told him that she was waiting on the RHOBH star 'to give her the OK to disperse payment' for the New York hotel stay.
According to Chris, after several more weeks he couldn't let the matter go on any longer, so he allegedly confronted Dorit via text message.
'I just said, "Hey, babe, can you just simply ask your accountant or your 'office' to release payment to me because it’s almost been four months now, and I still have outstanding invoices from all the services provided, as well as reimbursements,"' he recalled messaging her.
Then Dorit allegedly told him she 'had a huge issue' with his invoice, and she allegedly apologized for not mentioning that to him immediately, as it was an issue from the start.
'Dorit and I jumped on a call for 30 or 20 minutes,' Chris continued, adding that he was at Tracy Turor's house when he took the call, which 'allegedly' explained how she came to be a 'witness' to their drama.
'She heard the whole thing, and Dorit basically just gave me the runaround, berated me, gaslit me, let me know that she thought that I was lying about everything,' Chris claimed.
He added that Dorit allegedly asked if he was 'right in the head' before vowing to never hire him again and hanging up
He went on to include more screenshots in his video, allegedly from last week, in which Dorit accused him of charging her card without her permission
He added that Dorit allegedly asked if he was 'right in the head' before vowing to never hire him again and hanging up.
Chris theorized that Tracy felt 'compelled to defend' him after seeing how 'shaken up' he was after the alleged call.
He went on to include more screenshots in his video, allegedly from last week, in which Dorit accused him of charging her card without her permission.
'My apologies for that charge. I never went back and looked and just as you sent this and I read it I went back to check my charges on my Amex and you are correct,' Chris replied in the screenshot. 'The room charge is gone from my statement so they must have realized they charged my card on accident instead of the card you gave them when you filled out the credit card auth form for my room 11–14th. I have never called them once. So nothing was done without your permission.'
The messages appear to show Dorit sending a file to Chris, and then in what appears to be a subsequent screenshot, she write: 'Here’s more proof when it was reversed after a phone call you made asking them to do so.'
'I’ve never made a phone call,' Chris appeared to reply in the messages.
He added in the video that he sent Dorit an updated, correct invoice as soon as he was alerted to the error.
In a final set of message, in which Chris allegedly said there was 'no use in going back and forth,' he then sent a final invoice directly via iMessage, which listed the New York trip and other events he had serviced Dorit for.
After Dorit claimed on WWHL last week that Chris had requested payment for something her 'office' had already paid for, both he and Tracy Tutor said he had finally received the requested money; seen in 2018 in LA
Most of the charges appeared to be in the triple digits, with the total somewhere between $1,000 and $10,000, though he scrambled the numbers to make the illegible.
'This is my livelihood. I have a family to take care of. I have bills to pay,' the hairstylist added in his TikTok. 'I was giving her grace by allowing her to keep procrastinating, keeping procrastinating, and I wasn’t getting anything in return. She said to send it to her office, and that’s what I did, expecting to be paid.'
When Dorit appeared on WWHL after Tracy's original accusation, but before Chris' TikTok response, she shared her side of what had happened.
'I think he was trying to bully this invoice through not realizing that it goes through a process, and my office flagged it. And when they had written back, "This has already been paid," it was like, "Oh, s***, I didn’t get away with that?"' she said.
Despite Dorit's claims that Chris' invoice was either negligent or fraudulent, she nonetheless appears to have paid it.
After her WWHL appearance, Tracy Tutor appeared to confirm that he had finally been paid.
'Guess who got his wire transfer today though,' she commented on a clip of the WWHL appearance.
Chris also confirmed the payment in a subsequent post.
'After months of begging finally paid in full thank you guys,' he said.
