Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley has settled a lawsuit with celebrity closet organizer Emma Josephson Carter after being sued for failure to pay.
Radar Online reports that Emma Josephson Carter and her company, It’s a Lifestyle, sued Dorit Kemsley last month, claiming the Bravo star owed her $8,556.15 for reorganizing the closet of her Encinco home.
In the lawsuit, Carter claimed, “[ Dorit Kemsley] hired my services on more than one occasion. I have a signed contract agreeing to my services and terms of payment. She has not paid her invoices totaling the above amount for over 10 months but no payment has been made. I charge my clients by the day/hour. [ Dorit Kemsley] was billed for time spent on-site and any materials purchased for her project. I have since added late fees as per our signed contract agreement. I have attached the invoices for reference, including the final invoice with both overdue amounts and late fees.”
During a hearing held on Friday, Carter informed the court that Dorit paid the “money via a wire transfer late last night” and that she was waiting for it to clear.
When RadarOnline contacted Dorit, she told the outlet that she paid the invoice despite disagreeing with the amount owed.
.“I paid the hefty sum of 13k for ‘phase one,’ which at the time [I] was even surprised by how much I was charged to simply get to a place where I could then go in and see what I wanted to keep and what I wanted to get rid of.” Dorit said, noting that her assistant told Carter that she was unhappy with the service when she received two invoices totaling $6,500.
Dorit’s closet was left in “unmanageable” and worse conditions than before Carter’s company began its reorganization process.
“To top that off I was not given any offer to make things right despite her being told immediately that I was very unhappy by what has transpired. She simply apologized and said moving forward there would be more clarity.”
