Mariah Carey sued by former nanny for 'unpaid wages'
Mariah Carey is being sued by a former nanny who claims she is suffering from emotional distress after the singer fired her over a year ago, according to Fox News.
A woman named Maria Burgues filed the lawsuit against the "All I Want for Christmas is You" singer in Los Angeles court on Monday, claiming that Carey failed to pay her on numerous occasions in addition to being treated poorly by other members of her team, Variety reported.
In court documents obtained by the outlet, Burgues accuses Carey of not paying her for "obliged" travel while Carey was on tour with her two children, Moroccan and Monroe.
The nanny also points the finger at Carey's bodyguard, Marcio Moto, who she claims put her in danger on multiple occasions.
In 2017, the nanny claimed Moto threatened to kick her out of a car while driving to Las Vegas. Burgues alleged she spoke up about the incident but nothing was done.
Additionally, the nanny claimed Moto nearly caused a car accident with her and Carey's two children in the car. The documents describe that Moto was "distracted" as he chatted with his girlfriend on the phone behind the wheel, Variety said.
