Accusations against Side involve using escrow money meant for surrogates to kickstart her Hip-Hop journey as “Dom” and to indulge in luxury living.
Dominque Side intended to earn the trust of parents seeking surrogacy solutions. Instead, federal authorities are investigating her Houston-based Surrogacy Escrow Account Management LLC for allegedly misappropriating millions to fund Side’s extravagant lifestyle and aspiring rap career. Allegations against Side include using escrow funds, earmarked for surrogates, to launch her Hip-Hop career as “Dom” and to live in luxury.
“It’s incredibly evil. It’s despicable. It’s disgusting,” Rodriguez said, echoing the sentiments of many families who have reached out to law enforcement for answers and restitution. An investigation by FOX 26 Houston revealed that SEAM’s questionable financial activities may have been ongoing. Attorney Lori Hood highlighted the company’s bank statements showing unusually high activity for a non-profit organization.
The investigation into SEAM’s finances exposed that money designated for surrogates was redirected to support Side’s personal endeavors, such as her music studio in Spring Branch. Forensic analysis has revealed more than $10 million funneled into Side’s private initiatives, including a recording studio and a collaboration single titled “Ion” with Erica Banks.
Video footage from eight months ago on YouTube shows Side presenting herself as a driven entrepreneur, but she is accused of orchestrating a scheme that devastated the finances of hopeful parents and surrogates. Anthony Hall, Side’s business partner and music studio co-owner, stated he was unaware of the questionable source of the funds. He testified in court, claiming he did not benefit from the fraudulent money and expressed willingness to assist the ongoing investigation. The FBI is actively seeking additional victims and information related to the case.
