BRANDY PAYS EX-HOUSEKEEPER $40K

(HipHopDx)

Brandy has reached a settlement with her former housekeeper, who filed a lawsuit earlier this year alleging several employment law violations. According to the Los Angeles Times, 60-year-old Maria Elizabeth Castaneda - also known as Elizabeth Juarez - filed a civil complaint against Brandy following her termination after almost 20 years of service. Castaneda had been responsible for the singer’s cooking, cleaning and laundry from September 2002 to February 25 of this year, when she was allegedly fired. In addition to claiming that she was let go due to her age, Castaneda’s lawsuit also accused Brandy of violating a number of California state employment laws, including rules related to state-mandated breaks, meal periods and overtime. The former employee, who made a reported $125 per day, originally asked for $250,000 in compensatory damages, $250,000 in general damages, $97,500 in consequential damages and more than $54,000 and attorneys fees.
