KARACHI: Jennifer Lopez has filed a $20 million lawsuit against her former driver whom she claimed had threatened to leak her secrets if she did not pay him $2.8 million.
Lopez, 42, maintains that Hakob Manoukian, who was in-charge of her security and transportation attempted extortion and conspiracy.
Manoukian started working for her in 20005 and has also been clashing with her manager, Benny Medina, over alleged contractual differences.
The former ‘American Idol’ judge has alleged that her driver wanted more money and additional control of her security team.
The documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court showed that she is looking for $20 million
in damages.
“Manoukian plotted to retaliate against Ms. Lopez and her management and to use his apparent
position of trust to exploit and extort substantial sums from Ms. Lopez,” the lawsuit reads in part.
“In the furtherance of this plot, he abruptly terminated his employment with Ms. Lopez and
began to threaten her” with revealing “sensitive and personal information that he had
allegedly overheard while driving Ms. Lopez,” it further claimed.
