Court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com reveal that Bahadori was convicted on one count of grand theft and three counts of tax evasion in February 2002. The designer was sentenced to more than five years in prison for these charges. Bahadori did not respond to RadarOnline.com's request for comment.

Bahadori is the grandson of Amir Bahador, an Iranian minister during the era of the Shah, and his father was a General in the Iranian army. Bahadori rose the Hollywood ranks in Bel Air, opening his first store next to a trendy Bel Air restaurant where Reagan and Grant would dine.

Bahadori also considered Nancy Reagan to be a "great friend" and even dressed Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
