[EXCLUSIVE] Sean Garrett Slapped With Lawsuit By Ex-Bodyguard

The bodyguard said that Garrett had him on call 24/7 and often worked 70 hours plus a week without a day off. He filed suit accusing Garrett of never paying him overtime and when he confronted him about it — Garrett fired him as his bodyguard. Quarles is demanding the entire overtime he is owed, damages for the labor law violations and any other monetary award the court sees fit.

Garrett fired back claiming Quarles never had a written contract with him and he denied he violated any federal labor laws — he asked the court to dismiss the entire lawsuit. The two have been battling in court for over 4 years.

According to newly filed docs, the battle has become nasty between the two. The bodyguard explained in his deposition that Garrett demanded so much from him he didn’t even care when he interrupted his honeymoon because he said he had gotten robbed.

Also, Garrett allegedly only allowed Quarles 13 days off in 2007 and often he was required to work with Garrett in the studio from 2am to 2am the next day. The bodyguard was made to accompany him to meetings with Beyonce and Jay Z but also made to accompany him to Office Depot, the Apple store and Pet Smart.

Quarles says that as a result of the demanding schedule he became developing health problems and started passing out regularly, which his doctor said was due to his job.

The case will be heading to trial in the next few months–where a judge will determine if Garrett violated federal law along with how much Quarles will be awarded, which could be a huge judgement for the former bodyguard.
