Lisa Vanderpump Hit With ANOTHER Lawsuit Alleging She Failed To Pay SUR Restaurant Workers

Lisa Vanderpump has been hit with another class action lawsuit regarding her restaurant SUR!

Lisa Vanderpump is facing yet another class-action lawsuit from a group of former employees at one of her restaurants!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum and her husband, Ken Todd, are the subject of a new suit filed on July 31 by Olivia Beverly Hanson on behalf of herself and other staff who worked at SUR, Lisa’s popular West Hollywood restaurant featured on Vanderpump Rules.

As you’ll probably recall, back in January, a different former employee of Lisa’s who worked at SUR as well as her two other restaurant properties Tom Tom and Pump filed a separate class-action lawsuit against the reality TV star and her restaurateur husband. In that suit, the former employee alleged multiple violations of labor laws under Vanderpump’s watch, including missed breaks and mealtimes, and inaccurate wage statements regarding overtime wage amounts.

According to E! News, this new filing sounds remarkably similar to the January one in many ways, though Hanson’s accusations only cover SUR, and not the other two restaurants as well. The woman, who claims she worked at the establishment from October 2019 to January 2020 alleges that “for at least the past one to four years,” Vanderpump and Todd’s restaurant has engaged in a variety of misdeeds including failing to pay workers minimum and overtime wages, failing to give proper meal and rest breaks, providing inaccurate wage statements, and failing to give workers pay stubs at the end of their employment.

This new litigation has requested a jury trial for its resolution. Per the court docs, Hanson’s group is seeking damages for all wages earned and owed, including “minimum and overtime wages, damages for unpaid premium wages from missed meal and rest periods, and damages for gratuities earned but not received, among related reparations.”

Vanderpump’s legal team has not publicly commented on the new lawsuit yet, but if the first one is any indication, we can guess Lisa may be ready to put up a fight. As you’ll recall, when the first case was filed a few months ago, a source at the time said of the plaintiffs:

“These were two disgruntled ex-employees that had been written up with many warnings by management and subsequently let go. Lisa and Ken do not tolerate anyone that may be abusive to their staff or to patrons.”

Well then! Wonder what Lisa’s team is cooking up for this second one now, too… Reactions, Perezcious readers? Here we go again, right?? Sound off with your comments on the matter down (below)!!!
