Jennifer Lopez Lawsuit: Singer Settles Dispute With Former Employee

After 10 months, Jennifer Lopez has finally settled a lawsuit filed by her former limo driver, Hakob Manoukian. Manoukian alleged that Lopez, her production company, and her manager, Benny Medina, still owed him payments.

In the suit, Manoukian claimed that Lopez needed to compensate him for "on-call services" whenever the singer had a professional engagement, on top of his $72,000 annual salary. He alleges the singer-actress demoted him to an "L.A. driver" and was eventually fired in September 2011 without receiving his promised payments.

E! News reports that the parties reached an agreement on Feb. 6, although the terms were not disclosed.

This is not the first time Lopez and Manoukian have face off in court. Two months ago, a judge dismissed a $20 million countersuit filed by the "Dance Again" singer. Lopez claimed Manoukian was threatening to go public with damaging information if she did not pay him $2.8 million.

The judge agreed with the ex-employee and denied Lopez's countersuit.

I guess Manoukian is going "public with damaging information" :0

I believe in reality, that most people want to have good jobs and be happy; that they don't want to deal with their bosses BS, and want to be treated respectfully and fairly.

I don't believe Manoukian had any intentions of blackmailing Lopez, but I feel he reached his end over the unsettling dispute over his working relationship with Lopez. Power has a way of dismissing wrongful termination cases; unless one is willing to use incriminating evidence, when peaceful settlements aren't working out.

The judges dismissal of the Lopez's counter suit must have really played an important part is her final settlement agreement with Manoukian. Hmm!?! I wonder what that evidence could have been?

Will ssomeone tell me why this woman is as popular as they claim? Other than her obvious looks, she barely can sing, or act. She makes one movie flop after another and still reigns supreme..I suspect to appease the Spanish audiences which are growing all over, thanks to Mexico illegal aliens.They have to have their 'token' representative, I surmise

I wonder why he was fired...might have something to do with why he wasn't paid what he claims was promised to him.
