Canadian star Justin Bieber has been accused by his former a bodyguard a beating. And not just once?!
Benabou's lawsuit claims Bieber berated him and repeatedly punched him in the chest after a disagreement about how to handle a member of the Grammy-nominated singer's entourage. After he walked away, Bieber fired him, Benabou's lawsuit claims.
Benabou also says he was mistakenly told that he wasn't entitled to receive overtime despite working 14 to 18 hour days between March 2011 and October 2012.
An email message sent to Bieber's publicist was not immediately returned.
In total, Moshe Benabou demands $ 421,000 compensation, because in addition to compensation for the beatings also requested $ 400,000 for overtime and work during the holidays. Lawyer says Moshe Benabou:
'For nearly two years Mr. Benabou devoted himself completely to ensuring Mr. Bieber's personal safety,' Benabou's attorney, Ilan Heimanson, wrote in a statement.
'Mr. Benabou deserved, as does any employee, to be treated with respect, dignity and in accordance with the law. Unfortunately, he was not. '
Bieber's album Believe ranked No. 6 in 2012 sales with more than 1.3 million units sold.
In October Los Angeles prosecutors declined to file charges against Bieber after finding insufficient evidence that he punched and kicked a photographer outside a movie theater near his home in Calabasas, Calif., a month earlier.
