Liza Minnelli settles 100m dlrs sexual harassment case with ex-driver

NEW YORK - Actress Liza Minnelli has settled the 100-million-dollar sexual harassment lawsuit filed by her former chauffeur.

M’Hammed Soumayah slapped the 63-year-old with legal papers in 2004, accusing the star of beating him during booze-fuelled rampages and forcing him to sleep with her.

Soumayah further said he had “physical evidence of his sexual relationship with Minnelli,” reports the New York Post.

A confidentiality agreement has now been reached between Soumayah and the singer, who was also accused of beating her former husband David Gest in the past.

Judge Paul Feinman issued a ruling saying “the entire action has been settled and discontinued.”

Soumayah’s lawyer, Harvey Mars, added: “The matter is resolved.” (ANI)
