(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.
