A
reported divorce isn't the only legal drama Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are
going through.
The
44-year-old singer and 34-year-old America's Got Talent host are being
sued by one of their former nannies who claims she was underpaid and fired for
showing "too much affection" for the former couple's twins Moroccan
and Monroe.
According
to legal docs obtained by E! News, Simonette DeCosta states
that she worked for the separated twosome from October 2013 to Jan. 26, 2014.
DaCosta says she cared for the twins during the day, on trips around the world
and even lived with Carey and Cannon at times. Her job duties included
"feeding, bathing and comforting Ms. Carey's and Mr. Cannon's children who
were infants and/or toddlers at the time."
DaCosta
goes on to allege that she worked "well over 100 hours per week."
However, Carey and Cannon did not provide DaCosta with "premium overtime
compensation for the hours worked in excess of forty hours" even though
she was expected to be "on call every hour of the day" to see to her
employers' needs and demands.
DaCosta
claims she was eventually fired for "exhibiting too much affection towards
their twins."
According
to the lawsuit papers, DaCosta is seeking "unpaid overtime wages, premium
wages, liquidated damages, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, pre-judgment
interest and all other appropriate legal relief under the law" from Carey
and Cannon.
