Tristan Thompson's ex-girlfriend Khloe Kardashian settles lawsuit involving $100,000 over unpaid wages
Although Khloe Kardashian and Cleveland Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson are separated, they have two children.
Kardashian recently settled a lawsuit involving $100,000 over unpaid wages. Her former personal assistant, Matthew Manhard, claimed Kardashian did not pay him wages for overtime work. However, according to the Blast and Yahoo News, the case was dismissed.
Legal documents show Kardashian and Manhard requested for the case to be dismissed and not ever be tried again.
It is unknown what led to the dismissal. Kardashian and her team could have settled with Manhard. The defendant also could have lost the case and given up early. Manhard was suing Kardashian’s company, KhloMoney.
The case began eight months ago in February. Manhard was hired as a household assistant and claimed his overtime work went unpaid. He also alleged that Kardashian controlled his wages, hours and working conditions and that he was not given proper breaks during his shifts. He accused the socialite and her company of manipulating labor laws to avoid paying overtime wages.
The former assistant also suffered a knee injury in May 2022 and missed work. When he returned from his leave of absence, Kardashian said she had no work for Manhard and fired him on November 9, 2022.
It is not the first time Khloe Kardashian and her companies have been sued. Her clothing brand, Good American, was also involved in a lawsuit.
A former model who worked for the company in November 2021 claimed she wasn't paid on time by Good American. However, instead of $3,500 for a day’s work, she wanted to be paid $100,000 as a penalty. There was no report on the settlement or status of the case.
