Mariah Carey sues assistant for alleged blackmail, she countersues her for wrongful termination and sexual harassment

The shocking allegations filed in Liana's lawsuit came after Carey's own lawsuit, in which the former was accused of being 'a grifter, a peeping Tom, and an extortionist'
UPDATED JAN 17, 2019

American Singer and songwriter Mariah Carey's former secretary responded to the pop diva's recent lawsuit by countersuing her. Hours after news broke that Carey had filed a $3 million suit against her former assistant, Liana Shakhnazaryan, for allegedly violating a non-disclosure agreement, the ex-employee hit back by countersuing her with a lengthy lawsuit accusing Carey, and her former manager, Stella Bulochnikov, for a series of alleged claims.

The allegations mentioned in the lawsuit include wrongful termination, retaliation, failure to prevent discrimination and harassment, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, racial discrimination, sexual harassment, failure to pay earned wages upon termination, breach of verbal contract, rescission of contract, violation of the Bane Act, violation of the Unruh Civil Rights Act, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and battery.
