Mel B Is Being Sued By Her Former Personal Assistant for Allegedly Running Up $200,000 Debt

Mel B is being sued.

The 44-year-old Spice Girl was hit with a lawsuit from her former hairstylist and personal assistant Poghos Karen “Gary” Madatyan for wrongful termination, according to paperwork filed on Thursday (September 26).

Mel is accused of causing emotional distress, failure to pay overtime and running up $200,000 in debt.

According to the complaint, Gary was assigned to service Mel B in all aspects of her life, and was required to move into her apartment building and be on-call 24-hours a day.

She reportedly mis-classified his employment status as an independent contractor, paying him $10,000 a month but making him pay $7,000 for his apartment. She also reportedly used his credit card and bank account to buy furniture, televisions, transportation and for parties.

He is also suing her personal doctor, who allegedly threatened him and used his name to prescribe amphetamine salts without authorization. He’s also claiming that he was pressured to lie to the Department of Child & Family Services about Mel B’s former husband’s treatment of their kids, which he allegedly refused.

He claims he was ultimately fired after asking for reimbursement, and calls her behavior “deplorable.”

“His basic human rights and dignity as an employee and person were chewed up, spit out, and trampled on. Gary is a warm, loving person and didn’t deserve this. Frankly, no one does. We look forward to justice before a jury,” his attorney said in a statement.

ISRO shortlists 15 firms for transfer of EV battery tech This move could make EVs cheaper, since imported Li ion batteries constitute the big expense factor of EVs. Isro has shortlisted 15 firms to transfer the manufacturing technology of lithium-ion (Li ion) batteries for electric vehicles (EV). This move could make EVs cheaper, since imported Li ion batteries constitute the big expense factor of EVs. “We have communicated to the shortlisted firms that they will have to give a one-time fee of `1 crore. We have avoided firms with exposure to foreign equity in identifying the qualifying industrial houses or start-ups,” S Somanath, director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), the rocket sciences node of ISRO, told FE. “The final move will depend on their response,” he said, declining to name the firms.

Sóller hike followed by a healthy vegan lunch

We got a group of friends together (of various ages and fitness levels) to hike around the hills surrounding the Mallorcan town of Sóller, in the northwest of the island. There are many quite easy trails but usually, it involves a bit of hiking up and downhill. We began our walk at the first roundabout after the tunnel and climbed for about 25 minutes uphill after that it was reasonably flat for the next hour or so. The final part was decent into the town of Sóller where we had booked a private vegan brunch for our group. Barbara and Martjin opened Ecocirer in March 2018 as a vegan hotel with 6 bedrooms in the town of Sóller. It is the ideal accommodation for a family celebration if you would like to enjoy healthy vegan food with plenty of activities to get you out into the beautiful nature surrounding the picturesque town. The expe...
