Mariah Carey Sues
Her Former Assistant The singer is suing her
former personal assistant
for more than $3 million. The "Hero" singer has
accused Lianna Azarian
of secretly recording her
doing "embarrassing" things. Carey says she then
threatened to release the
videos unless she gave her $8 million. Carey hired Azarian in March 2015
but fired her in November 2017. She claims if the clips were made public
they could be extremely damaging to
her, both personally and professionally. The 48-year-old singer
paid the employee up to
$327,000 a year until she was fired. She claims the
alleged blackmail
started shortly afterwards.
