What was supposed to be a dream makeover of a multimillion-dollar home has quickly turned into a messy courtroom drama in Greenwood Village, Colorado.
Danielle Braverman, a former international model, and her husband David Reis are locked in a bitter dispute with their interior designer neighbor, Hayley Servatius, over a renovation gone horribly wrong—and some serious accusations flying back and forth.
Accusations Fly Over an Alleged Affair and Stolen Funds
Braverman and Reis have accused Servatius, who lives just a few hundred feet away, of being distracted by a steamy affair with a construction worker named John Soderstrom.
They say this alleged distraction caused delays, theft, and fraud during the renovation of their $6 million mansion.
Servatius has firmly denied any affair, telling the court, “No.
I am a God-fearing woman,” and insisting she’s only ever been romantically involved with her husband, Matthew, with whom she shares three kids.
Flirty Texts and Courtroom Drama Without the Affair Details
Flirty text messages between Servatius and Soderstrom are part of the evidence the jury will see during the civil trial underway in Centennial, Colorado.
However, jurors won’t hear the explicit affair claims, as the court has kept those details out of the trial, focusing instead on the legal disputes over money and contracts.
Servatius Strikes Back With Her Own Claims
Not one to take accusations lying down, Servatius has countersued the couple.
She describes them as nightmare clients who kept piling on more work beyond their original agreement, then stiffed her on payments, leaving her tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket.
Servatius even alleges Braverman and Reis threatened to “destroy” her interior design business, HLS Designs.
The Renovation Nightmare and Rising Costs
The legal battle centers on the remodeling of the couple’s huge six-bedroom, 8.5-bath mansion, purchased in 2020 for nearly $1.8 million.
Braverman and Reis hired Servatius—who markets herself as a curator of “beautiful moments” and “timeless décor”—hoping for a flawless design. <
