Usher may be basking in his success of being a new judge on “The Voice,” but the R&B is racking up on the lawsuits these days. Usher is currently dealing with some nanny drama and it appears that it’s resulted in a lawsuit being filed against him. According to the papers filed, Usher is being accused of not paying his former nanny for the overtime hours she worked, and the former nanny claims the singer overworked her, yet managed to get away with underpaying her. In the suit filed, the woman, Cecilia Duncan, also claims that she was unfairly terminated by Usher even though she alerted him that the working conditions were problematic for her. TMZ reports:
Cecilia Duncan is suing the singer, claiming Usher hired her as a part-time nanny back in December 2010 and she worked her ass off caring for his two sons (aged 4 and 5) often exceeding 40 hours per week.
According to the lawsuit, Cecilia felt like she was being overworked without being paid overtime … and expressed her concerns to Usher in 2011 that she was being shafted.
Cecilia says Usher ignored her complaints for more than a year … and finally fired her a*s last September without paying her overtime money.
She’s now suing for wrongful termination, failure to pay wages, and more — demanding unspecified damages. Sources close to the lawsuit tell us she wants in the six-figure range.
Usher’s camp hasn’t addressed the lawsuit as of yet, but the singer is just another celeb to get slapped by a lawsuit by former nannies. Just recently, Diddy was sued by a former nanny just weeks after another one filed suit against his baby mama Kim Porter.
These nannies ain’t playing about their money. These stars better learn how to start treating their employees.
Exactly.
Another lawsuit? What the hell is Usher doing these days?
Not paying people and allegedly stealing songs. LOL.
Now why didn’t he pay that women overtime? It’s not like he doesn’t have the money! Just greedy!
*woman, my bad
What in the world? Pay up Usher! That is really low down of him.
I’m not all surprised. After the way he did Tameka, I wouldn’t out anything past him.
Right. Smh.
did Tameka what exactly? as did she not get pregnant twice deliberately
Oh I’m sorry. I didn’t know married women couldn’t get pregnant by their husbands. How dare Tameka! I wonder what she did with the gun she held to his head to force him to impregnate her and have a b-tch fit on MTV for her. *rolls eyes*
Usher needs to get it together. He’s looking real trifling out here. LOL.
Rich people problems.
Yet another lawsuit. Who does he have overlooking his finances? This is not a good look.
oh please so the nanny carried on working for a whole another year, while being under paid, but then decided to claim back her overtime after Usher disposed of her lol
she probably mad Usher wasn’t giving her that D
