A lawsuit was filed against Teddi Mellencamp by a former housekeeper/live-in-nanny for mistreatment, wrongful termination, and withholding wages.
TMZ obtained a documents revealing the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is being sued by Julia Umana, Teddi’s ex staffer.
Allegedly, Teddi treated her “more poorly than any other celebrity boss.”
The allegations against Teddi:
According to the legal docs, “Teddi made [Julia’s] employment a living hell by abusing power, shorting paychecks, creating a hostile work environment and engaging in racial discrimination and harassment.”
It was alleged, “Teddi worked her to the bone and treated her worse than other household helpers who were white.” Additionally, “Teddi accused [Julia] of stealing and committing theft … even though there were cameras in the house. “Teddi never did the same to a white, blonde employee.”
Julia’s lawsuit included Teddi mocked her accent and for speaking Spanish. Allegdly, Teddi spoke toward her in a nasty tone that she never saw the podcaster use with white workers.
Julia couldn’t take the alleged mistreatment any longer!
Julia claimed she told Teddi she planned on resigning, but Teddi had another plan.
Teddi allegedly pressured Julia to work three 12-hour shifts for $325. When Julia complained about the pay, she was wrongfully terminated.
Julia’s legal team is fighting Teddi over her unpaid wages AND more than $2 million in damages.
This isn’t the first time Teddi was called out for unsavory business practice:
All In By Teddi came under extreme scrutiny after Emily Ellis from the Instagram account @emilygellis exposed Teddi’s diet/exercise/weight loss ‘accountability’ program for its potential/eventual health risks.
The IG creator claimed, “All In requires a daily intake of 500 calories per day. I don’t know about you, but I get 500 calories just from my Frosted Flakes. (Kellogg’s, please reach out for a sponsorship!)
Emily provided proof👏 screenshots👏 timeline👏 receipts👏 of photos of clients having to show them on the scale to stay in the program. Many comments alleged they were forced to sign an NDA to join All In.
