When the affair with Ali Hassan Joho ended, Betty was left financially in limbo. At the time, she was in a salon venture with a business partner, Susan Kaitanny.
Susan had invested in Posh Palace and Space. She employed Betty as the public face of the beauty business, but she was not comfortable with Betty’s fast-paced lifestyle, besides presenting herself as a co-owner.
Her admirers would also drop in to check on Betty at the salon. This did not go down well with Susan.
“Susan’s company ATS Travel Agency, footed her wedding plus honeymoon to Dubai together with Emirates,” said our source.

But the two later fell out and Susan terminated their agreement.
Weeks later, Betty set her own Flair by Betty high-end just a stone throw away from Posh Palace...after reportedly poaching Susan’s staff.
