Khloe Kardashian Sued By Ex-Assistant, Denies Not Compensating Him

Khloe Kardashian is seemingly under fire after being sued by her former household assistant. Matthew Manhard, who had worked for the 38-year-old from January 2019 until November 2022, had sustained a knee injury that kept him out of work. He claims that the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star had fired him upon returning to the job. Accordingly, Manhard is suing Kardashian in violation of multiple California labor laws. He goes as far as to call his former working conditions a “nightmare,” TMZ reports.

Legal representatives for Kardashian remain unwavering by these accusations. According to the case files obtained by the news outlet, one rep stated, “it’s unfortunate to learn that a former employee would choose to go this route. Matthew was properly classified and compensated for his role.” Manhard’s injury kept him from working from May to November of 2022. The legal team reflected, “toward the end of his employment, he was on a leave of absence for an extended period of time and the role eventually needed to be replaced. We will not tolerate false accusations and will prove that this is a frivolous lawsuit.” Needless to say, Kardashian’s lawyers are fighting back hard.

Kardashian’s Former Assistant Claims Working Conditions Were A “Nightmare”

According to Manhard’s “accusations,” being Kardashian’s household assistant was a far-from-easy task. He claims that he’d often work 12-hour shifts without being compensated for overtime hours. Additionally, these shifts were often packed with back-to-back tasks, not allowing Manhard to take legally required breaks.

While the fate of Manhard’s case is yet to be decided, this is not the first time that a member of the Kardashian clan has faced a lawsuit. Previously, the family battled with Blac Chyna over $100 million. Chyna took the Kardashian-Jenners to court last year over the cancellation of the Rob & Chyna series. The court ruled in the favor of the reality television moguls. But even with facing haters chasing after their money, this iconic family remains unfazed. The Kardashians season 3 has been renewed by Hulu and Disney+, with a release date yet to be announced. For more news on the latest in hip-hop and pop culture, be sure to check out HNHH.
