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.
