In a statement sent to RadarOnline.com, Burke's attorney Marty Singer - who did not represent Burke in the lawsuit - adamantly denies the allegations against his client.

"Euroconcepts' problem is not the 30 customers who paid for the merchandise that was actually delivered to them and paid for by those customers, including David Charvet, but Euroconcepts had an employee who allegedly stole money from them who has been arrested by the Beverly Hills Police Department and faces criminal liability. The more than 30 defendants include innocent homeowners, contractors and others who had no knowledge of any wrongful conduct by Ms. Halaby. Realizing that Euroconcepts has no viable claim against either David Charvet or Brooke Burke, one of their owners, Daniel Elihu was removed during Brooke Burke's deposition after he threatened to release the videotape of the deposition to the media as a way to harass Ms. Burke into paying money to him.

"The reckless conduct of spewing lies to the media and releasing Ms. Burke's deposition will not cause either Brooke Burke or David Charvet to pay one penny to Euroconcepts because they allegedly hired a corrupt employee."
