50 Cent has found himself in hot water with one of his former employees.
According to a Thursday (April 30) report from TMZ, the Power creator is being sued by a woman named Monica Mayers. Who claims she worked for the rap star for over a decade. In a “senior operational role across his various businesses.”
50 Cent Sued By His Former Employee Over Retaliation Claims
Mayers claims that she was fired by the rap star when she refused to “commit crimes that would protect him.”
Mayers says that while she was working for 50 Cent, he was going through bankruptcy. And the film producer asked her to hide property in her name to prevent it from being seized.
She also says that 50 Cent asked her to file a false police report. She was asked to frame his driver/bodyguard for stealing his car and $600,000 in cash.
But when she refused to do either of those things, 50 Cent responded by terminating her. She also says that she was scheduled to have a feature done on her by Forbes magazine. But 50 had that nixed when she refused to do his alleged dirty work.
And that was just the start of a “years-long intimidation campaign,” which included “Texts, calls, and threats to punish her and silence her.” She also says that years after being fired, the harassment is still ongoing.
In response, Mayers is suing the television star for “emotional distress and invasion of privacy,” as well as an undisclosed amount of money.
In response to the lawsuit, 50 released a statement through his attorney, Reena Jain. Who says the rap star “categorically” denies Mayers ‘baseless claims.
“This lawsuit is nothing more than a transparent attempt to use the guise of a legal proceeding to seek an unjustified payday well outside of the applicable Statute of Limitations,” Jain said in a statement to the outlet.
