Take this money and go away
Mariah Carey is putting her newfound mega-wealth to good use. The singer, who
recently signed a $23 million-per-album, five-album deal, has paid off her
former chauffeur Franco D'Onofrio to get him to drop his wrongful dismissal
claim. The driver was furious at being let go and threatened the diva that he
would expose all her sordid secrets if she didn't pay up.
The lawsuit was originally thrown out of court, but was reinstated on appeal -
meaning that Mariah might well have been called to testify. That was something
she most certainly didn't want to do given that it would mean she would be
openly questioned about her past relationships, such as that with football
player Derek Jeter.
D'Onofrio made no secret of the fact that he drove the singer to several trysts
with Jeter and was prepared to spill all the sordid details. Mariah, who's
currently seeing singer Luis Miguel, obviously realised that such disclosures
could prove embarrassing and dent her wholesome image. So last week the suit
was settled for an "undisclosed sum". Shame.
