Courtney Love Sued By Fired Assistant

The assistant, Jessica Labrie, who was fired by Love, filed the suit in Los Angeles yesterday, citing wrongful termination, wage and breach of contract. The suit states Labrie worked as Love’s administrative assistant for about a year in 2010 and 2011, but was fired after she complained to Love that she was owed thousands in unpaid wages and expenses for business trips.

Labrie’s laywer Joshua Gruenberg also notes that Love wanted Labrie to hire a hacker to change business records but the assistant refused.

"The allegations are completely unfounded and are being made with malice by a disgruntled former employee," Love's publicist Steve Honig said in a statement released Wednesday.

Love, meanwhile, celebrated her 48th birthday this week and thanked followers for their birthday wishes on Twitter.
