(EXCLUSIVE) Mariah Carey Fires Back At Ex-Nanny’s Lawsuit, Who Accused Singer of Firing Her of Being Too Affectionate To ‘Dem Babies
The woman explained that she worked for Mariah and Nick since the kids were infants and would feed, bath and comfort them. She said Mariah wasn’t pleased when she would show the twins affection and often would berate her for doing so.
DaCosta claimed she was overworked – sometimes putting in over 100 hours a week – without ever being paid overtime. She sued demanding the unpaid overtime hours and damages for Mariah’s violation of the labor laws.
Then on May 19th, Mariah fired back at her former employee claiming the woman did work for her from October 2013 to February 2014. The pop star says the woman did live with her while taking care of the kids but she was never NOT paid for her services.
Mariah also says the ex-nanny is lying about her terminating her due to showing too much affection to her children.
Further, the singer blasts the idea that she violated labor laws and explains that the woman was paid for every hour she worked. Mariah also says that DaCosta was a live-in domestic service worker and was paid under those guidelines.
Mariah also accuses her former employee of filing the lawsuit in bad faith and only in an attempt to harass her, claiming the allegations are frivolous and groundless. She is demanding the lawsuit be dismissed and her ex-nanny be awarded NOTHING.

The girl’s blind and the son is retarded. Oh boy.
Shelby, you should be ashamed of yourself talking about children in such a way. No matter what you may dislike about Mariah, talking about toddlers in this manner is embarrassing! Even worse coming from another woman. Shameful!
This has nothing to do with disliking Mariah. The son looks retarded, he looks like he could have down syndrome. Where’s the lie? That’s the way he looks to me. So, no, I am not ashamed of shyt.
The girl wears glasses and they look thick, so yea, I stand by what I said about her too.
Shelby you are a creep for saying that. Only people lower than dirt talk about innocent children. If you want to come for Mariah then come for her but no need to be mean to her kids. How would you like for someone to look at a picture of you or your kids and label you retarded.
This ShelbyMoore whomever she is spits venom each and every time on posts on a regular. Something is definitely wrong with an individual who always has such negative thoughts, vibes and remarks. And it has nothing to do with expressing your opinion, more like misery loves company. May God bless you!
i CONCUR @Petals
Shelbymoore……wtf…..really!!!you would have been better off not saying anything..To decide to focus on the babies looks instead of the matter at had,truly shows the mindset of one that’s lacking in more than one area!!! May God touch you really soon because the devil is busy!
Shelbymoore……wtf…..really!!!you would have been better off not saying anything..To decide to focus on the babies looks instead of the matter at hand,truly shows the mindset of one that’s lacking in more than one area!!! May God touch you really soon because the devil is busy in your life!!wow
LMAO…still I stand by my initial comment. Son looks special needs and daughter does too. Have a good weekend. Don’t ask God to do shyt for me…ask him to help your ass out.
Tell em Shelby! All these bible thumpers always trying to regulate public comments. This is NOT church so save your preaching for those who care. Those kids do look special. Point.Blank.Period. Money can’t buy everything.
Mariah, I love you but you are lying. I distinctly remember in an interview that she said that she has and will fire a nanny at thinks they are more important in her twins lives than her.
The woman is probably looking for a quick payday. If she violated the terms of employment then shut up and try to move on. Good luck though after all this!
I’m just here to read the posts. Ya’ll ruthless at times!
