A former housekeeper of Dr. Dre and his wife, Nicole Young, is suing the pair after being fired while still in the hospital due to a panic attack reportedly prompted by hostile work conditions. Raquel Sagustume filed her suit against Dre and Young in Los Angeles earlier this week, claiming she was repeatedly bullied by fellow staff during her 13-month employment, according to New York Daily News.
The other employees are described as "two female cousins" who, according to Sagustume, felt threatened and intentionally delegated their own work to her. The suit alleges that this additional work ultimately caused "physical strain and injury," eventually developing into the anxiety attack that landed Sagustume in the hospital.
Sagustume says she was fired while still in the hospital and is currently seeking "punitive damages" stemming from missed overtime, meals, and vacation. As revealed in the filing, Sagustume’s weekly salary was estimated at $1,870. Representatives for Dre and Young have yet to release a statement regarding the suit.
