Mariah Carey accused of 'sexually harassing' her former security guard

Superstar Mariah Carey has been accused of sexually harassing a former bodyguard as well as making racist remarks about him, it has been reported.

Michael Anello, who worked for Mariah between June 2015 and May 2017 has made a host of shocking claims about the singer.

According to TMZ, Anello has filed a lawsuit accusing Mariah of committing “sexual acts with the intent that they be viewed by him”, with Mariah allegedly asking Anello to come to her room to move some luggage for her only to be wearing open, see-through negligee when he arrived.

Although Anello has said there was no physical contact during the incident, he was left uncomfortable by the situation and when he tried to leave Mariah is said to have insisted that he moved the luggage first.

Mariah also accused Anello and his colleagues of being white supremacists, according to reports, with Anello claiming that Mariah would often humiliate him by referring to him as a Nazi, skinhead, and KKK member – adding that she “wanted to be surrounded with black guys, not white people”.

Anello added that Mariah owes him $221,329.51 in unpaid earnings, with the guard claiming that he had also been promised another two years of employment, but Mariah did not fulfil the promise.

Anello’s lawyer told TMZ that their lawsuit against Mariah and her team is now on hold, with it believed that the two are in settlement negotiations.

There has been no comment from Mariah’s reps about the racism or sexual harassment claims and Yahoo Celeb UK have contacted them for comment.
