In addition to Khloe being charged with violating twelve California State labor laws, her former employee is also claiming damage to his mental health.
The complaint from Matthew Manhard, Khloe’s former employee, states the Kardashian reality star ultimately firing him “has caused damage to [his] professional reputation, as well as [his] income and other benefits.”
Matthew’s attorney continued: “Moreover, Manhard has also suffered, and continued to suffer, extensive general damages in the form of anxiety, anguish, and mental suffering.”
The complaint went on to detail: “As a proximate result of [Khloe’s] wrongful termination of Manhard’s employment, Manhard has suffered fright, nervousness, grief, anxiety, worry, shame, mortification, injured feelings, mental suffering, shock, humiliation and indignity, as well as other unpleasant physical, mental, and emotional reactions, all to Manhard’s damage in an amount according to proof at trial.”
Matthew described his terrible experience working for Khloe by claiming: “[Khloe] acted with oppression, fraud, malice, and in conscious disregard of Manhard’s rights and Manhard is therefore entitled to punitive damages in an amount according to proof at the time of trial.”
KHLOE’S KASH
Yesterday, TMZ reported Khloe fired one of her household assistants, Matthew, after he allegedly injured his knee and had to request a prolonged leave of absence.
According to the lawsuit, Matthew worked for Khloe from January 2019 to November 2022 wherein he claims she violated twelve California labor laws.
Among the complaints, he claimed she wouldn’t give him legally required breaks and wouldn’t compensate him for overtime, despite pulling twelve-hour days.

According to TMZ, Khloe’s legal representation responded saying: “It’s unfortunate to learn that a former employee would choose to go this route.
“Matthew was properly classified and compensated for his role.”
Khloe’s rep told a different side of the story and shared: “Toward the end of his employment, he was on a leave of absence for an extended period of time and the role eventually needed to be replaced.”
The Kardashian’s legal rep concluded: “We will not tolerate false accusations and will prove that this is a frivolous lawsuit.”
UNPAID FANS
Fans in an online Kardashian forum were not thrilled with the detail of the lawsuit if the allegations are true.
One said: “Very ignorant for women who pride themselves on being the best businesswomen and involved in all aspects.”
A second chimed in: “How are you rich and don’t f**king pay the people?”
Yet a third said: “I’m sure she will blame someone else and was ‘unaware’ and that person will take the fall and be fired.”
Another commented: “How does this situation always happen? I believe this same situation happened with Kim.
“In her case, multiple employees. It’s unbelievable.”
COPYING KIM
Kim Kardashian has also been accused of violating California labor laws and was sued for a similar situation in the spring of 2021.
The lawsuit was filed by seven former workers from her Hidden Hills home in California.
In the lawsuit, the former workers alleged the SKIMS founder did not pay for overtime or allow meal and rest breaks.
Kim’s ex-employees also alleged she withheld taxes from their wages without giving the withholdings to the government.
Finally, Kim was accused in the lawsuit of having a 16-year-old on the crew surpass the 48 weekly working hours allowed.
The employees claimed in court docs that were not provided a means to record their work hours and therefore were not paid for all their hours.
Kim’s former workers also claimed they were not reimbursed for expenses related to their employment and were not paid all their overtime wages.
A spokesperson for Kim said she never paid these workers directly and instead paid a third-party service, whose duty it was to pay them.
There is no known resolution to the lawsuit against Kim.
