Liza Minnelli settles $100m sexual harassment case with ex-driver

New York: Actress Liza Minnelli has settled the 100-million-dollar sexual harassment lawsuit filed by her former chauffeur. M’Hammed Soumayah slapped the 63-year-old with legal papers in 2004, accusing the star of beating him during booze-fuelled rampages and forcing him to sleep with her.

Soumayah further said he had "physical evidence of his sexual relationship with Minnelli," reports the New York Post. A confidentiality agreement has now been reached between Soumayah and the singer, who was also accused of beating her former husband David Gest in the past. Judge Paul Feinman issued a ruling saying "the entire action has been settled and discontinued." Soumayah’s lawyer, Harvey Mars, added: "The matter is resolved." ANI
