  • ‘RHOSLC’ Star Monica Garcia Ordered To Pay $35K To Heather Gay’s Beauty Lab For ‘Failing To Pay Lip Injection Bill’

    ‘RHOSLC’ Star Monica Garcia Ordered To Pay $35K To Heather Gay’s Beauty Lab For ‘Failing To Pay Lip Injection Bill’

    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, per Page Six. This comes after Beauty Lab sued Garcia for not paying her lip injection bill from 2023. 

    Court documents show that Beauty Lab filed a judgment request on October 22, which the judge approved and finalized on November 4, making Garcia responsible for a total of $35,853.60. This amount includes the original bill of $2,000 for her service, plus 18 percent interest per year from 2020 to 2024, which adds $1,683.62. Garcia also has to cover $604.98 in costs and fees from the lawsuit and pay Beauty Lab’s attorney’s fees, totaling $31,550.

    “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 stated, adding that Gay’s med spa can also collect 18 percent interest on the amount owed until the payment is completely paid off.

    Garcia, who is not happy with the judge’s order, filed a response saying the amount is

    “greatly excessive”

    compared to

    “the amount in dispute in this action.”

    The judge rejected her attorney Larry Reed’s request.

    “An appeal will be filed. We are confident,”

    Reed told the outlet in a statement. Reed shared with the outlet that Gay’s Beauty Lab, which has two locations in Utah, sued Monica in August of last year for breaking their contract and not acting in good faith. 

    In reply, Garcia countersued the med spa, saying they

    “botched“

    her nose and lip injections. In her filing, Garcia stated that she only paid a $400 down payment and a $49 setup fee for the cosmetic services. She claimed that the filler was

    “negligently given”

    and

    “did not have the intended, promised result.”

    When the med spa offered to fix the issues, Garcia chose to go to another place for corrections instead. Along with attorney fees, interest, and other remedies, she asked the court for an amount under $50,000 for

    “consequential damages,”

    which will be decided at trial.

  • Donald Trump’s Miami Hotel Faces Lawsuit By Man Who Claims He Was Seriously Injured Jumping Into 3′ 6″ Pool Labeled 6′ 3″

    Donald Trump’s Miami Hotel Faces Lawsuit By Man Who Claims He Was Seriously Injured Jumping Into 3′ 6″ Pool Labeled 6′ 3″

    A man is suing Donald Trump‘s hotel in Miami, claiming he got injured jumping feet-first into a pool that was much shallower than it was labeled to be. 

    The lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, says that Salvatore Musumeci Jr. from New Jersey was at Trump National Doral Miami for work in February 2023. He jumped into the pool, believing it was 6 feet 3 inches deep, as it was marked on the deck. However, the pool was just 3 feet 6 inches, according to Musumeci.  

    He says he suffered serious and lasting injuries from jumping into the shallow pool that was marked incorrectly. The man is suing the Trump Organization and Trump International Hotel Group who he believes were careless in maintaining the pool area by mislabeling the depth. 

    He says his injuries caused him pain and required medical care, leading to high medical bills. He is suing the Trump Organization and Trump International Hotel Group for unspecified damages.

  • TikTok Sued By 13 States, Accused Of Creating Harmful and Addictive Features That ‘Intentionally Targets Children’

    TikTok Sued By 13 States, Accused Of Creating Harmful and Addictive Features That ‘Intentionally Targets Children’

    Thirteen U.S. states and the District of Columbia filed new lawsuits against TikTok, claiming that the popular social media platform is harming and not protecting young people, as reported by Reuters.

    “TikTok cultivates social media addiction to boost corporate profits,”

    California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement. Bonta went on to add that

    “TikTok intentionally targets children because they know kids do not yet have the defenses or capacity to create healthy boundaries around addictive content.”

    New York Attorney General Letitia James said,

    “Young people are struggling with their mental health because of addictive social media platforms like TikTok.” 

    On Tuesday, TikTok refuted those claims, expressing their disappointment in the states decision to sue

    “rather than work with us on constructive solutions to industrywide challenges.”

    TikTok has safety features like automatic screen time limits and privacy settings for users under 16, according to the company.

    Washington’s lawsuit claimed that TikTok facilitates with the sexual exploitation of underage users, stating that TikTok’s live streaming and virtual currency

    “operate like a virtual strip club with no age restrictions.”

    Other states like Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Vermont, and Washington also filed lawsuits. 

    TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, is currently battling a U.S. law that could lead to the app being banned in the country.

  • Emory Healthcare Faces Lawsuit After Hospital Staff Allegedly Lost Part Of Man’s Skull During Surgery, Then Charged Him $19K To Build New One

    Emory Healthcare Faces Lawsuit After Hospital Staff Allegedly Lost Part Of Man’s Skull During Surgery, Then Charged Him $19K To Build New One

    A couple from Atlanta has sued Emory Healthcare, claiming the hospital lost part of a man’s skull during surgery, leading to more surgeries, pain, and high medical bills, per 11 Alive. Fernando and Melinda Cluster are requesting compensation after a piece of Fernando’s skull went missing at Emory University Hospital Midtown after he had surgery for a brain bleed. 

    In their lawsuit, filed in DeKalb County State Court, they explain that on September 30, 2022, Fernando had a procedure called a decompressive hemicraniectomy, where a section of his skull, known as a bone flap, was removed. He was supposed to have that bone flap put back during another surgery on November 11, 2022. However, when the hospital staff went to find it, they realized that several bone flaps were either not labeled correctly or had no identification at all, making it impossible to tell which one belonged to Fernando.

    “They’re scared. They’re terrified every day. They got various contradictory messages about why surgery was postponed and ultimately, Emory told them that they had lost and misplaced a part of his skull,”

    the couple’s attorney Chloe Dallaire said.

    “It’s mind blowing, literally, not to play a pun on words, but an institution like Emory misplacing and mislabeling people’s body parts? It’s unfathomable,”

    Dallaire continued.

    Weeks later, Fernando received a 3D printed synthetic skull flap to replace the lost piece. Emory Hospital then reportedly tried charging him $19,000 for making the synthetic flap. The lawsuit mentions that the hospital billed Fernando for the synthetic flap, the extra days in the hospital, and the procedures needed because of the delay.

    “He was charged for the additional time he had to wait in the hospital for the flap to be made. Subsequently, he had an infection. The synthetic flap had to be removed. He had to spend more time in the hospital, and then he was charged for all the costs associated with a new flap and another surgery,”

    Dallaire told the outlet.

    The Clusters are seeking compensation for Fernando’s lasting injuries and over $146,845.60 in medical bills. Melinda claims his injuries have deprived her of his love, society, and companionship. They want a jury trial, asking for damages from Emory Healthcare and any other relief the court finds suitable.

  • 50 Cent Could Be Sanctioned For Allegedly Ignoring Deposition Request From Radio Host He Struck In The Head With Microphone

    50 Cent Could Be Sanctioned For Allegedly Ignoring Deposition Request From Radio Host He Struck In The Head With Microphone

    Radio personality Bryhana Monegain is determined to hold rapper 50 Cent accountable in their ongoing legal battle. Monegain has taken her case to court, filing a motion requesting the judge to impose sanctions on the rapper. This comes after repeated unsuccessful attempts to get 50 Cent to participate in a deposition.

    According to court documents, Monegain alleges that since she filed the lawsuit against 50 Cent earlier this year, she has faced obstacles in her pursuit of justice. As previously reported, the Power 106 host claims that 50 Cent threw a microphone which struck her in the head back in August of last year, resulting in a concussion, laceration, and bruises.

    Despite multiple attempts to schedule a deposition with 50 Cent’s lawyers, Monegain said that he has failed to follow through on any of the proposed dates. She is now seeking a fine of $5,000 and a court order compelling the musician to appear on the upcoming scheduled date. Her lawyers wrote in the document,

    “Due to the pendency of the August 5, 2024, mediation date, an Order compelling [50] to sit for deposition and provide testimony must be made forthwith.”

    50 Cents lawyers had responded to Monegain initial lawsuit stating that the rapper would not intentionally harm anyone.

    “Let’s be very clear, as I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis [’50 Cent’ Jackson] would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone…Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed.”

    As of now, there is no official report regarding a judge’s ruling on the matter.

  • American Airlines Sues Passenger, Seeking Over $81,000 In Fines For 2021 Mid-Air Meltdown

    American Airlines Sues Passenger, Seeking Over $81,000 In Fines For 2021 Mid-Air Meltdown

    A woman is currently dealing with significant legal expenses due to an incident that took place during a flight from Dallas to Charlotte in 2021. Heather Wells, 34, is facing a lawsuit from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for failing to pay a fine of $81,950 designated to her by American Airlines, per the NY Post. 

    This fine was a result of Wells’ disruptive and violent behavior during the flight. The incident occurred in July 2021, when Wells, who is originally from San Antonio, was served a neat Jack Daniels drink during the beverage service about an hour into the flight. As the flight progressed, Wells’, who typically flies business class, became agitated and attempted to open the main cabin door. 

    She also threatened a flight attendant, forcefully pushing him aside, and persisting towards the front of the aircraft. Two flight attendants and a fellow passenger had to restrain Wells using duct tape and flex cuffs to ensure the safety of everyone on board, reports note. Even while seated, she kicked, spit, and even attempted to bite and head-butt both the crew and fellow passengers. The situation escalated when she managed to break free from her restraints, unleashing more kicks towards crew members and passengers as they were in the process of taxiing to the gate. 

    The authorities were called to de-escalate the situation. Wells was sedated before being escorted off the aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has accused Wells of violating federal aviation regulations by attempting to gain unauthorized access to the flight cabin, interfering with the flight crew, making threats, and posing a clear and present danger to the safety of both the aircraft and its occupants. This is the highest penalty ever given by the FAA.

  • Kanye West Denies Former Assistant’s Sexual Harassment Claims, Says Allegations Are ‘Baseless and Accuses Her Of Blackmail

    Kanye West Denies Former Assistant’s Sexual Harassment Claims, Says Allegations Are ‘Baseless and Accuses Her Of Blackmail

    Kanye West denied accusations of sexual harassment made by his former Yeezy assistant, Lauren Pisciotta. Pisciotta filed a lawsuit against the rapper, claiming sexual harassment and wrongful termination. In a statement provided to Page Six by his lawyers, the artist, known by his legal name Ye, alleged that the OnlyFans model tried pursuing

    “him sexually to coerce employment and other material benefits”

    and then attempted to extort him when

    “her advances were rejected.” 

    “In response to these baseless allegations, Ye will be filing a lawsuit against Ms. Pisciotta,”

    the statement reads.

    “Prior to her termination as an assistant, Ms. Pisciotta stole his cell phone in an attempt to destroy phone records that would contradict her claims, all of which have been preserved.”

    “She was terminated for being unqualified, demanding unreasonable sums of money (including a $4 million annual salary) and numerous documented incidents of her lascivious, unhinged conduct,”

    his legal team continued.

    Per the lawyers,

    “Pisciotta offered Ye sex on his birthday to which he declined, sent Ye unsolicited nude images, sexual narratives and was seen twerking in the office during business hours.”

    West is accusing Pisciotta of attempting to blackmail him out of

    “$60 million last year to $50 million in last week’s frivolous filing,”

    his lawyers claimed. According to the influencer, she was hired in July 2021 with an initial salary of $1 million. In September 2022, she was promoted to the position of chief of staff, with a significant raise of $4 million. However, just a month later, she was terminated from her position where she was promised a severance package of $3 million, but has not received it.

    She has accused Kanye West of creating a hostile work environment and engaging in several sexually inappropriate incidents. One such incident involved him allegedly locking her in a room with him while he was masturbating.

  • Lawsuit Filed Against Lauryn Hill’s Touring Company For Nearly $60,00 In Unpaid Wages After Multiple Show Cancellations

    Lawsuit Filed Against Lauryn Hill’s Touring Company For Nearly $60,00 In Unpaid Wages After Multiple Show Cancellations

    Lauryn Hill‘s touring company, MLH Touring Inc., is facing accusations of not paying a service provider for their work on her anniversary tour. The service provider, Eighteentwentysix LLC, filed a lawsuit claiming that they are owed nearly $60,000 in unpaid compensation. 

    The lawsuit alleges that MLH Touring Inc. breached its contract by not fulfilling its payment obligations for production, rehearsals, and other services related to the North American tour.

    Lauryn Hill had some unfortunate setbacks with her highly anticipated 25th anniversary tour for her iconic album

They are also seeking reimbursement for attorney fees, the costs incurred during the lawsuit, and any other appropriate compensation.

    As of now, there have been no reports of Lauryn Hill publicly addressing this matter or responding to the lawsuit in court. However, it’s worth mentioning that the

  • TikTok Sues U.S. Government Following Newly Signed Law Banning The App, Says Users First Amendment Rights Are Being Violated

    TikTok Sues U.S. Government Following Newly Signed Law Banning The App, Says Users First Amendment Rights Are Being Violated

    It appears that TikTok is strongly committed to keeping its presence in the United States. The popular Chinese-owned social media app has recently sued the U.S. government in an attempt to block a newly passed bill that aims to ban the app nationwide. As previously reported, President Joe Biden signed legislation last month that gives TikTok until January 2025 to either sell to an American-approved company or face a ban across the country. 

    In response, TikTok’s CEO has been clear that the company intends to challenge the bill, which they officially did today (Tuesday, May 6th). TikTok, which is owned by the China-based parent company ByteDance, has filed a lawsuit arguing that the ban infringes on Americans’ First Amendment rights by

    “[stifling] their speech and [preventing] them from accessing lawful information.”

    “[The US government] has taken the unprecedented step of expressly singling out and banning [TikTok]…For the first time in history…Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban, and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than 1 billion people worldwide,”

    the lawsuit states. 

    US government officials have long advocated for a ban on TikTok due to concerns about Chinese ownership and potential data exposure. Former President Donald Trump has also supported the ban on TikTok, which is now being implemented by his successor. TikTok has filed a lawsuit to challenge the ban in the D.C. Circuit Court, but there is no information on the US response yet.

  • Man Plans To File Lawsuit Against Florida Deputies Who Allegedly Shot At Him While He Was Detained After They Mistook Falling Acorn For ‘Shots Fired’

    Man Plans To File Lawsuit Against Florida Deputies Who Allegedly Shot At Him While He Was Detained After They Mistook Falling Acorn For ‘Shots Fired’

    It looks like Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Deputies had a case of the

    “Chicken Little”

    syndrome. A man is suing the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s office after he claims two of their deputies wrongfully shot at him after mistaking an acorn falling and hitting their patrol vehicle for a gunshot, as reported by Fox News. 

    This led both the deputy and his partner to unleash a barrage of gunfire on the patrol car, which had the individual in the backseat. Video footage captures the moment when one of the deputies frantically shouts

    “shots fired,”

    before pulling out his firearm and firing multiple rounds at the vehicle. 

    The deputy involved has been identified as Jesse Hernandez, a former Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Deputy, who can be heard in the video saying,

    “I’m hit… I’m hit! I’m hit.”

    Deputy Beth Roberts also discharged his weapon.

    Even after being searched, detained, and placed in handcuffs just moments before, Marquis Jackson was still shot at multiple times. Fortunately, he was not injured. The arrest of Jackson was prompted by a domestic call made by his girlfriend, who accused him of stealing her car, threatening her, and potentially possessing a gun silencer, although its whereabouts were uncertain. 

    Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden acknowledged the gravity of the situation, stating,

    “We let the public down. I will admit — this was a very tragic and traumatic incident for Mr. Jackson. To that end — I can only apologize.”

    An independent review and investigation confirmed that no long guns were used to shoot at Mr. Jackson. Deputies used long guns with bean bag rounds to help him exit the vehicle, and claimed he was not being shot at.
