Dr. Dre Sued by Former Housekeeper

Dr. Dre is being sued by a housekeeper who claims her job was unfairly cut.

Raquel Sagustume filed the suit days ago claiming she was bullied by other household staff during a 13-month stint that ended in February.

Sagustume said the other staffers — two female cousins — felt threatened by her skill level and unfairly delegated their own work to her, causing her physical strain and injury.

The housekeeper said she suffered “burning pain” in her neck, arms and back and eventually developed so much anxiety in the toxic work environment that she had trouble breathing during one bout of bullying and landed in a hospital.

In her filing, Sagustume says she was fired while still in the hospital for the panic attack. She says Dr. Dre and his wife, Nicole Young, failed to prevent discrimination and harassment in their home.

She also claims she wasn’t paid properly for overtime, missed meals and earned vacation.

Sagustume said she continues to suffer from anxiety, depression and stress and deserves punitive damages.

My two-cents: Well, at the end of the day you have to be accountable for what you allow people to do to you. But … I’ve definitely experienced physical ramifications from stress in the workplace. I believe it happened, but the lawsuit is misplaced. She’s her own culprit.
