Friday, January 18, 2019
Mariah Carey is suing her former personal assistant, calling her an extortionist.
The pop superstar is accusing her former assistant of betrayal and blackmail.
The 48-year-old says Lianna Azarian secretly filmed her during personal activities and then threatened to release them if she didn't pay her $8 million.
Attorneys for Azarian say the lawsuit is only a distraction since she filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the singer.
