Hole frontwoman Courtney Love, who was sued last month
for alleged nonpayment of more than $400,000 in attorney’s fees, is now
facing a different lawsuit from her former assistant. The new suit
alleges unpaid wages and a whole lot more — including claims that Love
directed her assistant to hire a computer hacker and mail fake legal
documents.
Jessica Labrie, Love’s former assistant, claims
that she routinely worked more than 60 hours per week without overtime
pay, and that “harassment, retaliation and discrimination” at work
contributed to her suffering “humiliation, emotional distress, loss of
reputation, and mental and physical pain and anguish.”
The suit also alleges that Love promised Labrie a “full ride”
scholarship to Yale University, a position on the set of an upcoming
Nirvana biopic, a promotion and multiple cash bonuses, none of which
were fulfilled. Labrie claims that her refusal to participate in illegal
computer hacking and fraud schemes, along with her complaints about
unreimbursed business expenses, led Love to create a hostile work
environment
