Providence Hogan Settles, Will Pay Rent Owed on Spa

Providence Hogan is paying at least one person back.

On Monday in Brooklyn Civil Court, Hogan agreed in a settlement to pay back the nearly $50,000 , the . 

Hogan must pay $16,000 by Friday of this week, and the remainder over the next two years.

"This is an amicable and fair settlement," said her attorney William Slochowsky. 

Under the terms of the settlement, Hogan has personally guaranteed payment, said Marc Aronson, the attorney representing Miriam Brennan, Hogan's landlord. If the Providence Day Spa goes out of business, he explained, she will personally be responsible for paying the money back.

Hogan's landlord said from the beginning if she could come up with the money, she wanted her to stay as a tenant.

"I'm not here to put her out of business," Brennan said. "I want her to give me what's rightfully mine. She's operating her business, paying her staff, she should pay her rent."

But Aronson said under the settlement, if Hogan falls behind on her payments, or doesn't continue paying her $6,000 monthly rent, she will be evicted.

in a criminal court case involving the embezzlement of nearly $100,000 from the PTA. In that case, she has been offered a plea by the District Attorney's office: if she can come up with $40,000, and agree to pay back the rest of the money over time, she will avoid jail.

When Hogan was charged with embezzling funds from the PTA in March, the grand jury indictment said she had used some of the money "to pay business expenses including rent for her place of business, Providence Day Spa."

Aronson said that claim was a "lie."

Hogan is due back in criminal court on October 3 and is expected to either pay the money, or make plans to go to trial.
