Ex-Staffers Who Decided To Turn On Jennifer Lopez
Dec 09 2020
Triple threat singer, dancer, and actor, Jennifer Lopez, has been an international icon since the 90s. She's also been painted as a demanding diva since day one. But you don't have to take our word for it. From assistants to agencies, here are the ex-staffers who have since turned on JLo.

Hakob Manoukian worked as a chauffeur for Lopez and her then-husband Marc Anthony in 2005 before eventually being promoted to Lopez's full-time personal Head of Security in early 2011, according to TMZ. But by September of that year, Manoukian was gone from the staff roster. He then filed a lawsuit for breach of contract and wrongful termination against Lopez, her company Nuyorican Productions, and her manager Benny Medina .

Manoukian claimed his agreement with Lopez included a $72,000 yearly salary with additional earnings potentially increasing that number to $200,000. According to E!, however, he claimed that he earned none of that extra pay. CNN further reported that the suit alleged quote, "intolerable" labor conditions — like working more than 40 hours a week and not being provided meal breaks, which forced him to resign.

Lopez filed a countersuit against Manoukian for a reported, quote, "$20 million in damages," claiming the former driver was allegedly blackmailing her for $2.8 million as he threatened to expose private information he overheard when working for her. The countersuit was dismissed in December of 2012 and the singer settled Manoukian's original lawsuit for undisclosed terms in 2013.
