Dorit Kemsley, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has found herself embroiled in a payment controversy after hairstylist Chris Dylan publicly responded to claims she had failed to pay her bills. The drama began when Dorit Kemsley was accused by fellow Real Housewives star Tracy Tutor of being a serial non-payer. Tutor alleged that Dorit Kemsley had stiffed multiple people, including Dylan, a hairstylist she worked with in the past year.

Appearing on Watch What Happens Live (WWHL) on March 11, Dorit Kemsley did not hold back when addressing the situation. She claimed that Dylan’s invoice was the result of him attempting to “double-charge” her for a hotel stay. Dorit Kemsley added, “That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard, genuinely, like wholeheartedly.” She continued, referring to the overcharge, “He sent an invoice overcharging me and charging me for a hotel that he had already used my card to pay for.”
Dylan was quick to refute those accusations, stating that this wasn’t the truth.
“I’m not one to rant on socials,” Dylan began in his nearly eight-minute tell-all video, which was shared widely across social media platforms. “But she came for me, and numerous news outlets asked me for an interview, so I figured making a tell-all video was the easiest way to share my truth.” He also shared text messages between him and Kemsley to back up his side of the story.
@chrisdylanx @Dorit came for me on @BravoWWHL last night. Not one to rant on socials but after numerous news outlets asking for interviews I figured this would be the easiest way to speak my truth. #greenscreen ? original sound – CHRIS DYLAN
The Hotel Charge Dispute
The crux of the payment dispute centers around a hotel charge during a stay that Kemsley had requested Dylan to extend for an additional four days in November 2024. Kemsley had made the original hotel reservation and put her own credit card down for the booking, while Dylan’s card was used as the secondary form of payment.
When it was time to check out, however, Dylan discovered that it was his card that was charged instead of Kemsley’s. Dylan attempted to reach out to Kemsley to resolve the situation, but Kemsley responded with accusations that Dylan had contacted the hotel to change the charges without her permission.
“The hotel charges that you have been chasing were paid on my credit card,” Kemsley wrote in one text to Dylan. “In fact, you even called the hotel to make sure the charges were removed from your card and added to mine — without my permission.”
Dylan vehemently denied this claim, stating, “I didn’t call the hotel. Nothing was done without your permission. You said you’d pay for it, and I trusted that.” Despite his explanation, Kemsley continued to insist that Dylan had acted without her consent.
Tracy Tutor Weighs In
Things escalated when Tracy Tutor weighed in on the situation during a Radio Andy appearance on March 11. She told Jeff Lewis, “I’m fairly certain based off my knowledge there’s several people that haven’t been paid by her, including my stylist, who I think she just tallied up with finally. My makeup artist and, so, she’s got my people. Yet she likes to throw shade and call me a tacky woman.”
Kemsley’s response on Watch What Happens Live was sharp and pointed. “That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard, genuinely, like wholeheartedly,” she remarked. “There was a lot of s— she said that, I don’t know, it came out of left field. In particular, her talking about Chris Dylan, a hairstylist that I worked with this year for the first time in eight years. He sent an invoice overcharging me and charging me for a hotel that he had already used my card to pay for.”
A Final Resolution: Payment at Last
Despite the back-and-forth accusations, there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel for Dylan. After Tutor’s comments, which appeared to support Dylan’s version of events, the hairstylist finally received his payment. On Instagram, Dylan posted a message of gratitude: “After months of begging, finally got paid in full. Thank you guys.”

While the drama surrounding Dorit Kemsley’s payment issues may have subsided for now, it remains to be seen if the Real Housewives star’s reputation will take a hit after this public feud. Dylan, however, has made it clear that he won’t be staying silent when he feels wronged.

I believe this guy & Tracy who witnessed the call. After all, Dorit & PK have done wrong to MANY.
I don’t understand why someone not affiliated with this show at all is targeting Dorit ? And why are her bills any of her biz? These people are whack . Why are HW shows become something to start dissecting these things? And at the end of the day , it was paid . I’m referring to Tracy the realtor bringing up then the stylist chirping …unreal
And Tracy is not a fellow hws star …
I realize the HD cameras are unforgiving, but I can't believe these women are actually paying to have these people turn them into circus clowns. I'm actually taken aback how consistently terrible they look, Kyle, Kunty, and Dorit being the worst offenders.

The reason this story seems to be true is because we have seen countless times how Dorit and PK do not pay their bills, taxes, mortgage, rent, gambling debts, etc.
Why anyone would believe that Dorit will make good on any bill is beyond me.

I don’t WWHL, did Dorit “ genuinely, like wholeheartedly “ sound this dumb on the show??? I questioned her pearl wedding dress, didn’t seem like it’d be comfortable to sit on 1000 tiny hard plastic balls but… whaddo I know, Hollywood has its own brand of idiots!
I’m glad the poor guy finally got paid.
Just proves that Dorit doesn’t have the coins to be paying glam teams & stylists.
Sorry not sorry, but this mouthy queen needs to be put in his place. Yeah, I said it… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/aaec92d6d86a91a0071facb275f80be93a39728856d29090dfd63cec1d0a5e5b.gif
The more we find out about her phony lifestyle, marriage, career… the louder and more obnoxious she becomes.
She’s always been obnoxious, they’re ALL obnoxious but this queen trashing his clients to other clients needs to put a cork in it and handle his business professionally. You don’t take professional calls of a sensitive nature in front of other clients. Just cuz Dorit is obnoxious and even messy doesn’t mean he needs to roll around in the mud with her proving he’s no better. Team No one here, but ESPECIALLY Team Not This Mouthy Queen. ?
I grew up in a beauty shop owned by my sweet Mother, it’s the center of the tornado of gossip, eavesdropping, backstabbing, exaggeration and lies. Stylists these days make big bank, to be at Doritos disposal for four days of glamming it up, he deserves his check.
He deserves his due for services rendered, no doubt. However, when that is in dispute, it’s unprofessional to speak to anyone about the matter outside of those directly involved is what I’m saying. He blabbed in front of that Tracy broad (very intentionally I’ll bet)?, it’s very unprofessional whether it was intentional or not. You excuse yourself to privacy in such matters or you call them back later. Is that how he treats all unresolved disputes- with the utmost contempt for professional discretion in business matters?? As fodder for gossip? ?And what if he’s in the wrong…like he essentially was in the cc snafu? ? Damage is done by then as we see with what Tracy felt compelled to do. ? Clients should be side eying this. I would. ?
Exactly
His hotel room was charged to Dorit's credit card. When he submitted an invoice which included the hotel charges, Dorit questioned the bill because she had already been billed for it on her CC. He said his CC had been charged in error but when he looked at his statement, he said that the charges for his hotel room just "disappeared". Look, I've never been a Dorit fan but I don't think she's going to deliberately screw glam considering what gossips they are and how many other celebrities they service. It would be just a matter of time before it hits SM. The glam industry can be sketchy so I'm going to give Dorit the benefit of the doubt here. As for this Dylan guy, anyone who starts off with "I'm not one to rant on socials" is usually a shit disturber and should be used with caution. I have no idea who the real estate woman is but she has a big mouth. No idea why she would get involved.
Thank you . There was more to the story other then certain people getting media to give them attention . I read that also , and Dorit responded with that ; she waited until the proper invoice was sent to her as everyone else would have .
