The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Adrienne Maloof fired back at the lawsuit brought by her former housekeeper, accusing her of failing to pay her in full, Us Weekly can exclusively report.
On October 31, Maloof, 64, filed court docs denying all claims of wrongdoing in the lawsuit brought by Ana Rosales.
The businesswoman said her former employee was not injured and has not suffered any damages. In addition, Maloof argued that any damages she did suffer were the result of her own actions.
Rosales filed the lawsuit against Maloof on August 22 in Los Angeles Superior Court. In her suit, Rosales said she worked at Maloof’s $16 million mansion in Beverly Hills from April 1, 2021, to September 14, 2024.
The suit claimed Rosales was paid $22 per hour.
The suit claimed Rosales was not provided proper meal and rest breaks during her employment. The housekeeper’s lawyer added they believe Maloof “falsified [Rosales’] hourly rate and the total number of hours labored per pay period for the sole purpose of avoiding payment of lawful wage deductions, payment of federal and state payroll taxes, payroll contributions …. By providing [Rosales] with inaccurate and non-itemized wage statements during each pay period and failing to provide all wages due at the time of” Rosales’ severance.
In the legal docs, Rosales claims Maloof did not authorize her to take a lunch or meal break. The suit demanded $16,000 for unpaid meal breaks, another $16,000 for unpaid rest breaks, $4,000 for alleged labor code violations, $5,000 in penalties and other unspecified damages.
The case is ongoing.
Maloof is a member of the famed Maloof family and the only daughter of billionaire George Maloof Sr. The businesswoman’s brothers are George J. Maloof Jr., Joe Maloof, Gavin Maloof, and Phil Maloof.
Adrienne was one of the original cast members on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She left the show after season 3. Adrienne did not attend the reunion taping for her final season.
In 2019, Adrienne spoke to Us about the potential of her returning to the Bravo reality show. “Cameos, yes. But to go full-time, it’s a full-time job and I’m still raising three boys,” she explained.
Adrienne shares sons Gavin, 22, and 19-year-old twins Collin and Christian Nassif with ex-husband Paul Nassif.
She added, “I see [the Housewives] on and off at events. I’m busy with my own children, but you know, I think I have a respect for any of them to do reality television It’s not easy. We keep in touch. I’m going to New York for BravoCon.”
In May, Adrienne shared an update on her family with Us. “They’re all in college now, so I’m an empty nester,” said. “I have [Christian] going to USC, [Collin] in Dallas, [Gavin] is in San Diego so they’re all over the place, but they’re doing wonderful.”
“[My ex-husband Paul] and I are coparenting. We’re actually friends,” Adrienne added. “We’re better friends than we were probably married, but we’re raising three boys and we have to figure it out because that’s what you got to do. You have to for the sake of your kids. But we’re friends. We’re very good friends.”
In a world of over-the-top, staged proposals, Paulie Connell just delivered a masterclass in heartfelt, chaotic, and utterly perfect romance. The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dolores Catania is engaged, and the story of how her longtime love popped the question—in the middle of an Apple Store, with a fake PEOPLE interview as a decoy—is a tale of pure, unscripted magic.
The plan was elaborate. Dolores was told she had a PEOPLE interview for a new medication she was promoting. After getting full hair and makeup, the meeting was “canceled.” Seizing the opportunity, Paulie insisted they finally go get her new iPhone. “I kept saying, ‘Just go get it for me! Why do you need me?'” Dolores recalled. But Paulie was relentless, inventing a story about the “only one iPhone Pro Max in the area” being held for her.
At the Apple Store in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey—the very spot where they first met nearly five years ago—Paulie’s nerves began to show. “He was sweating so bad, his T-shirt was soaked, his face was beet red,” Dolores laughed. “He started saying these sweet, beautiful things to me out of nowhere and I was like, ‘Paul, are you okay?'”
As an employee led them to the exact table where their love story began, Paulie’s mind was racing. “I was so nervous, my knees where knocking,” he confessed. “I’m like, ‘What are you doing? Don’t start getting sad, you’re meant to be happy!'”
While he was trying to deliver a heartfelt speech, Dolores was still completely oblivious, even joking to the employee, “Wouldn’t it be funny if we got engaged here?”
Then, he pulled the box from his pocket. That’s when reality hit. “I immediately said yes,” Dolores gushed. The ring, a show-stopping 11-carat centerpiece from John Anthony Jewelers, was a testament to his devotion. “Go big or go home,” Dolores laughed.
This wasn’t the first ring Paulie had bought. He revealed he’d purchased a stone years ago, but after getting to know Dolores better, he realized it was the “opposite of what I got.” This new ring, which he’d had for over a year and a half, was perfect.
The proposal was a symphony of sentimental details. The date, November 10th, was the same day Dolores had moved in with him four years prior. The celebration dinner was at Rocco’s steakhouse, the site of their very first date. “There’s not a thing this guy didn’t think of,” Dolores said.
For years, Bravo fans have relentlessly asked, “When is he going to propose?” Now, they have their answer. In the most unexpected of locations, surrounded by iPhones and unsuspecting shoppers, Dolores Catania’s next chapter has officially begun. And as Paulie laughed, “I’m just glad Dolores won’t have to answer a stupid question anymore.”
