Heather Gay claimed her ex-co-star Monica Garcia now owes her $60,000. Monica clapped back and shared more details behind their legal drama, two years after Heather’s company sued her.

In November 2024, a judge reportedly ordered that Monica pay $35,853.60 to Heather’s med spa, Beauty Lab + Laser, where Monica had injections she failed to pay for. Heather and Monica co-starred on
On Housewives Nightcap, Heather was asked if Monica ever paid the $35,000.
“No, and it’s now upwards of I think like [$60,000], and it just grows every day,” Heather answered. “But we have a summary judgment and … eventually we’ll get paid. But it’s important to pay your bills.”
The host added, “I would imagine you would never want to film with her again.”
Heather responded, “She’s not my friend, and she’s not in my life, and she’s certainly not a customer of Beauty Lab. So I don’t know how I would.”
After Heather’s interview, Monica shared her thoughts.
“There are multiple things at play here. First and foremost, I just want to clear this up because this is important — the bill with Beauty Lab and Laser was never $35,000,” said Monica on
“This is literally all stemming from $2,000. The $35,000 number is what she is saying with lawyers’ fees and all this kind of [stuff] — that’s the number she’s asking for,” Monica added. “That is not the bill. The bill was $2,000 of that $35,000 total. The rest — you know, $33,000, whatever — is lawyers’ fees and whatever.”
Last November, the U.S. Sun reported on the judgment.
“Plaintiff is entitled to recover all future collection costs, court costs, and attorney’s fees incurred in enforcing and collecting this judgment,” said the filing.
Monica’s lawyer, Larry Reed, commented at the time, “The amount of fees sought by plaintiff is greatly excessive in view of the amount in dispute in this action … [the principal amount was] only 13% of the Small Claims limit of $15,000. … An appeal will be filed. We are confident.”
Earlier this year, Todd Chrisley received a pardon from the President. However, Patricia Altschul is a tougher sell. Unlike POTUS, this Southern Charm star refuses to absolve Todd of his verbal crimes. Instead, this queen honey bee is standing ten wealthy toes down, adamant that Charleston is not a place for a “felon” like Todd.
Todd and Patricia are the reality feud I never saw coming. Their tiny tit for tat started after Todd’s release from prison. “During the [post-prison] press conference, I had stated that we are doing a hotel and it’s going to be near Charleston, South Carolina,” Todd explained. In response, Patricia said, “Well, there goes the neighborhood.”
Well, Todd did not like that. So, he made several jests about Patricia, which mainly focused on her older age and her finances. Overall, it was gross.
So, recently clapping back via Decider, Pat quipped, “He’s very irrelevant. I said four words—there goes the neighborhood — and he went on, and he did a whole program about me. It was just a comment in passing.” Nevertheless, Patricia stands by her original stance, saying, “We just don’t need any more felons in Charleston.”
Todd and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were indicted on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States back in 2019. They swore they were innocent. Yet, they were still found guilty. In all, The Chrisleys: Back to Reality stars received a combined 19 years in federal prison, but thanks to their pardons, they walked out of their prison cells for good in May of this year.
And now, Ms. Pat wants them to heed her words and not walk toward her in Charleston.
Southern Charm Season 11 premieres on November 19, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock, or Hayu in Canada, the UK, and Ireland.
