Season 14 - Episode 28: Hollywood Facialist Accused of Hiring a Hit Man Speaks Out for the First Time

Dr. Phil - Backdrop

Overview

Hollywood skin specialist to the stars Dawn DaLuise says she built her business and reputation on her avant garde beauty treatments and celebrity clients, such as Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow, and it wasn’t long before she received national attention in major publications. Then, in March of 2014, Dawn says she once again received national attention, but for an entirely different reason. She was arrested in a murder-for-hire plot and spent just under a year in jail. In the months leading to her arrest, Dawn claims she was the target of a vicious campaign to destroy everything she had built. She claims her tires were slashed, Craigslist ads were created offering free sex — resulting in men showing up at her salon — and sexually-explicit flyers super-imposed with her face and her two daughters, were strewn about her business and front lawn. Dawn says she was convinced the person behind the attack was a “rival” aesthetician, Gabriel Suarez.
