celeb news Halsey settles lawsuit with ex-nanny who accused her of illegal practices

[GraceRandolph]

Singer Halsey hashed out a deal with their former nanny to end their two-year legal beef weeks before a scheduled trial, In Touch can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, the former employee, Ashley Funches, told the court the settlement with Halsey, 30, was reached on September 26.

The parties were set to face off at a trial on November 12.

Ashley filed her lawsuit against the singer on June 9, 2022, in Los Angeles Superior Court. She claimed that she was wrongfully terminated by the entertainer and discriminated against due to her disability.

Ashley said that she was hired in 2021 to work as a live-in personal nanny for the singer's then-newborn, Ender.

The nanny said she was "misclassified" as an employee that was "exempt" from overtime pay. She said she raised the issue to Halsey and pointed out she "regularly worked over nine hours a day and 45 hours a week without overtime compensation" during her employment.

She was $25M in the red with Capitol which means  she never made a dime from music outside of her advances, and if she had a 360 deal then they possible swallowed a big chunk of her touring money too. She may not be as rich as one might think. Still no reason to underpay.

It's obvious that she did this in order to not go to court during 'The Great Impersonator' era, cause lawsuits are extremely tiring and spend a lot of time and money.

Also I find it veeeery interesting how this article doesn't mention the nanny being drunk while supposedly taking care of Ender AND that he was unsupervised...I wonder why.

Even if this is true, denying someone their pay is not the way to handle a bad employee.

Well, Halsey said that during the nanny's employment there were no complaints about unpaid overtime, so i dunno.

If you read the full article you would see that it did mention those alleged details.

People don't play when it comes to their kids, so if this nanny did her kid wrong, she'd want to fight it and make an example. Clearly, that's not what happened.

Quote

The singer demanded the former employee be ordered to show up for a second day of grilling but was facing resistance.

The entertainer's lawyer claimed they had made "good faith efforts to coordinate [Ashley's] deposition for months, and it is still not complete. Defense counsel has tried on countless occasions to secure and confirm the deposition of [Ashley] but has been met with silence or empty promises."

The judge ended up ordering Ashley to show up for a second day of deposition months before the settlement was executed.

Halsey has been on that ass! Other girl was dodging depositions
