The Manhattan District Attorney's office said Suzanne Filan, 31, was arrested Friday on several counts of grand larceny and forgery, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

Filan worked for Showroom 7 International, the setting for Soapnet's new "The Fashionista Diaries" reality series that will track six assistants for Estee Lauder, Jane magazine and Seventh House PR as they put together a fashion show for designer Charlotte Ronson. The show debuts in July.

Authorities said the woman bilked her employers of the money by forging checks for herself and others.
