Mariah Carey’s bodyguard ‘may sue over sexual harassment’

MICHAEL Anello, the former security guard for Mariah Carey, is threatening the singing sensation with legal action, claiming she sexually harassed him, humiliated him and owes him money, according to TMZ.

The founder of Anello Security & Consulting, who has been an ‘executive protection agent’ since 2006, has made allegations that the Hero singer, 47, told him he was a ‘Nazi skinhead’. He says she has an outstanding bill owed to his firm for $221,329.51.

The draft lawsuit allegedly claims the singer, pictured left with Anello, committed ‘sexual acts with the intent that they be viewed by Anello’.

This refers to an alleged incident during a trip to Cabo San Lucas. It’s written that Mariah asked him up to her room to move luggage, only to find her ‘wearing a see-through negligee that was open’. Anello reportedly tried to leave, but she insisted he move the luggage.

The draft lawsuit says he ended up leaving and that there was no physical contact.

TMZ claims to have seen a draft of a lawsuit prepared by Anello’s attorney, which he is threatening to serve Mariah with, but that is thought to be on hold while negotiations are taking place. Mariah’s representatives have been approached for comment.

The file supposedly claims that the security firm was under Mariah’s employ from June 2015 to May 2017, but that there was an agreement in place for further two years.

Anello claims he was promised an additional $511,000 for the further two years of work – an agreement that has presumably now been cancelled. According to Anello, Mariah called him ‘a Nazi, a skinhead, a KKK member and a white supremacist’.
