The owner of a Beverly Hills beauty salon has been charged with Fraud this past Wednesday!
Marie Gabriella Perez, 51, has been arrested and accused of credit card fraud. Supposedly racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars from many famous celebs. Including the likes of Liv Tyler.
She was taken in by Secret Service agents at her Chez Gabriela Studio where she works. Her charges include 2 counts of fraud which could put her in prison for a maximum of 25 years if found guilty!
Perez has listed Jennifer Aniston, Halley Berry, and even Cher among her famous clients. An affidavit states that there were about $214,000 in fraudulent charges from the beauty salon on Liv Tyler’s credit cards. This took place in a five month period last year.
Jewelry designer Loree Rodkin was also a victim of Marie. Her attorney told investigators that her credit card was also used without permission by Perez to the tune of about $68,000. Perez offered Rodkin about $25,000 worth in products to reimburse her for the fraudulent charges, but Rodkin was not interested.
Rodkin mentioned to authorities that other clients, such as Jennifer Aniston, Cher, and Anne Hathaway also had similar charges placed on their credit cards.
