A Utah judge has ruled in favor of Heather Gay’s Beauty Lab, ordering former “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Monica Garcia to pay the med spa $35,000 after the business sued Garcia for “failing to pay” her lip injection bill in 2023.
According to court documents obtained by the US Sun, Beauty Lab filed a proposed judgement on Oct. 22, which was approved by a judge and finalized on Nov. 4, ordering Garcia to pay up a total of $35,853.60.
In addition to the original lawsuit’s principal asking amount of $2,000 for her service with a pre-judgement interest rate of 18 percent per year between 2020 to 2024 — which comes out $1,683.62 — Garcia was also ordered to pay $604.98 in costs and fees as a result of the lawsuit. She also must pay Beauty Lab’s attorney’s fees which came to a total of $31,550.
A Utah judge has ordered Monica Garcia to pay $35,000 to Heather Gay’s Beauty Lab after the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star sued Garcia last year for “failing to pay” on her lip injections bill.
The judge ruled that Garcia owes Gay and Beauty Lab a whopping total of $35,853.60 which includes Gay’s attorney fees.
“Plaintiff is entitled to recover all future collection costs, court costs, and attorney’s fees incurred in enforcing and collecting this judgment,” the documents allegedly read, adding that Gay’s med spa is also able to collect post-judgement at 18 percent until the payment has been fully collected.
An unhappy Garcia filed a response to the judge’s order to pay Gay’s attorney fees, calling the amount asked “greatly excessive” in relation to the “amount in dispute in this action,” per docs obtained by the outlet.
The judge denied her attorney Larry Reed’s request. However, Reed and Garcia don’t seem to be giving up so easily.
The judge also ruled that Gay is “entitled to recover all future collection costs, court costs, and attorney’s fees incurred in enforcing and collecting this judgment.”
Garcia’s attorney, Larry Reed, said they will be fighting the judge’s ruling.
“An appeal will be filed. We are confident,” Reed told the outlet in a statement.
Gay’s Beauty Lab, which has two locations in Utah, filed a lawsuit against Monica in August of last year for breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
In response, Garcia countersued the med spa claiming they delivered a “botched” nose and lip injections.
After Beauty Lab’s initial filing, Garcia countersued Beauty Lab for giving her “botched” lip and nose injections.
Gay responded to Garcia’s 2023 filing, claiming the ex-“Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star was “desperate.”
According to Garcia’s filing, the former Bravolebrity only paid the $400 down payment and a $49 set-up fee for the cosmetic services in the filing — but claimed the filler was “negligently given” and “did not have the intended, promised result.”
When the med spa offered to rectify the “damage,” Garcia, instead, took her business elsewhere to have the corrections made.
In addition to attorney’s fees, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and other remedies, Garcia asked the court for a to-be-decided amount at trial for “consequential damages” less than $50,000.
