Monica Garcia is perhaps in more trouble over her gossip account Reality Von Tease – which was exposed on the season finale of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
The real Dita Von Teese suggested the account and Bravo used her image without her permission, and she asked her followers to “report” the controversial page.
A shot of Dita in a black lace mask was used as the profile pic for the gossip page. The photo also appeared in the episode as Heather Gay exposed Monica’s involvement with the account. In the shocking scene, Monica admitted she was one of several people who ran the page, intending to expose Jen Shah.
Last night, after the episode aired, the real Dita Von Teese –- a performer known as the ‘Queen of Burlesque’ – was asked if she watched RHOSLC.
“No, I do not watch this show and this account is just using my photo,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “Please report @realityvontease.”

In a separate post, Dita shared Reality Von Teese’s profile page.
“Please report this page @realityvontease for using my photo for their profile,” wrote Dita. “Apparently it’s being used right now on @bravotv as well.”

Some fans will remember Reality Von Tease as the page that leaked a video of Jen yelling at her employees. Later, after pleading guilty to a charge of criminal conspiracy, Jen was sentenced to prison.
“You can stop f*cking smiling b*tch, and being a f*cking b*tch… because you are. Yeah, you are,” yelled Jen at an employee in the past video, shared by Reality Von Tease, before Jen threw several items in what seemed to be her employees’ direction. “Shut the f*ck up! No! You all shut the f*ck up! Get the f*ck up!”
“I’m like ready to f*ckin – you know we’re gonna put on boxing gloves and I’m gonna beat the sh*t out of you,” she later stated.
One employee, designer Koa Johnson, addressed the audio leak soon after it surfaced.
“I don’t know who released the audio, but I’m glad they did because now I feel like I can finally speak about my experience. I’ve been protecting this woman for way too long,” he said of Jen. “I have been verbally assaulted, I had to work all hours, through the night, mostly unpaid. I had to tip toe around a hostile work environment in an attempt to preserve my mental health and well-being.”
