She is seeking money damages in an amount to be decided at trial.<\/p>\n<p>While the specifics for such alleged violations are not outlined in the summons,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2018\/04\/16\/mariah-carey-manager-stella-stolper-sexual-harassment\/\" target=\"_blank\">according to TMZ<\/a>,\u00a0Stolper<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>is accusing Carey of\u00a0frequently being naked in front of her and is\u00a0claiming that she was unfairly fired mid-contract and that Carey owes her money.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report from <a href=\"https:\/\/theblast.com\/mariah-carey-addicted-alcohol-pills\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Blast<\/a>, the amount is allegedly in the millions for unpaid commissions.

News &#8220;Stella Bulochnikov was terminated from employment as Mariah&#8217;s manager due to failure to perform her job effectively and ill-serving her client.\u00a0Stella was not under contract for employment. She has been spreading false rumors to any media outlet that will publish them. We won&#8217;t respond to lies and threats.\u00a0Again, if this frivolous and baseless claim is filed, we will defend against it vigorously and successfully.\u00a0It is also interesting to note that this is the first lawyer who will move forward on Stella&#8217;s behalf, having previously gone through three others who wouldn&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It seems there may be a few sides to this story. According to one source close to Carey, Stolper allegedly\u00a0took money she wasn&#8217;t entitled to, charged hundreds of thousands of her personal expenses to credit cards Mariah had to pay and allegedly violated California law by circumventing Mariah&#8217;s\u00a0talent agent to try and book engagements for her.<\/p>\n<p>Stolper&#8217;s rep shot back at the public claims from Carey&#8217;s team, telling E!
