Khloe Kardashian, star of Keeping up with the Kardashians, is being sued by one of her former assistants, Matthew Manhard after she allegedly fired him due to a knee injury. According to Manhard, working for her was a nightmare. He has even worked for more than 12 hours without a break. As of this month, Khloe’s fashion line ‘Good American’ also faced another crisis, as Jourdan Whitehead, a model, sued her for not paying over $1000 in time. Furthermore, the model claimed to have been paid by December 10, 2021 but instead received payment on March 11, 2022. At Alfred Tea Room in California, Manhard worked as a barista. Additionally, he has worked as a personal assistant for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
According to Linkedin, he has worked with Khloe for more than four years. Manhard also seeks monetary compensation from Khloe, alleging she violated several labour laws. As reported by Daily Mail, he also complained that she didn’t pay him overtime despite him working 12 hours on some days. A recent issue sparked a quick response from the Internet. A Twitter user asked, Can he sue the other members of that family as well? According to another, it’s terrible how the people they hire to do their dirty work are abused. He is suing Khloe and her company KhloMoney as well, according to some outlets, including Popculture.com. As a result of the payroll policies her company used, she did not have to pay overtime and double-time wages to her employees, which was an essential part of California’s labour laws.
Khloe Kardashian Slammed After Her Former Assistants Matthew Manhard Sued Her For Unpaid Wages
The star of Keeping up with the Kardashians, Khloe Kardashian, has filed a lawsuit against one of her former assistants, Matthew Manhard, claiming that she fired him following a knee injury. Manhard claims that working for her was a nightmare, and he was forced to work for over 12 hours without a break. Earlier this month, Khloe’s ‘Good American’ fashion line faced another crisis when she was sued by a model, Jourdan Whitehead, for not paying an amount of just over $1000 in a timely manner. Moreover, the model claimed she was supposed to receive her paycheck by December 10, 2021, but did not receive it until March 11, 2022. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have used Matthew Manhard as their personal assistant. As per Linkedin, he has been working with Khloe for more than four years. Khloe has also been sued by Manhard for monetary damages, claiming she violated many labour laws. According to Daily Mail, he also complained that she did not pay him overtime despite the fact that he worked 12 hours on some days. A court document alleges that Manhard has suffered general and special damages both in the past and now and will continue to suffer such damages for an unknown period of time in the future. Aside from losing earnings and other employment benefits, Manhard also suffers non-economic losses in the past and in the future.
As a result, Manhard’s professional reputation and income have been damaged. Pop Culture states that Manhard has also suffered extensive general damages such as anxiety, anguish, and mental suffering. Due to an extended period of leave of absence, he eventually had to be replaced in his position. Khloe’s legal spokesperson told TMZ that the lawsuit is frivolous and will not be tolerated. Additionally, the representative expressed disappointment that a former employee would choose this path. Matthew received the proper classification and compensation for his role. In response to the recent issue, the Internet reacted quickly. Is it possible for her to sue the rest of that family as well?, a Twitter user asked. In one comment, a user said, Sad how dirty work is exploited by people hired to do it. According to one user, Kardashians will fall in 2023. The user wrote on Reddit, How are you rich and don’t pay the people wtf? They are sisters. They were raised the same way. They don’t care about people who can’t somehow benefit them.
