Mariah Carey settles sexual harassment lawsuit with former manager Stella Bulochnikov Stolper
Pop singer Mariah Carey has reportedly settled a lawsuit with her former manager, Stella Bulochnikov Stolper, after both parties reached an agreement, according to Stella’s attorney.
Page Six has reported that the 48-year-old ‘Hero’ singer was manager by Stella for three years, until November 2017.
She has accused Mariah of walking around naked and had ‘made it uncomfortable’ being in her presence.
The five-time Grammy award winner had been fighting a lawsuit for ‘unspecified damages’ but it has now been brought to a close.
An attorney for Stella Stolper has said that, “the parties [have] reached a mutually agreed resolution to this matter,” but has declined to say whether this was a cash payoff.

Mariah’s spokeswoman had previously said the claims were “baseless” and a source had indicated to Page Six that there was an amount of jealousy in the relationship between Stella and Mariah.
This comes weeks after Mariah smashed Spotify records for the most streams in one day with her iconic Christmas tune All I Want For Christmas Is You.

Cyntoia Brown is granted clemency after serving 15 years in prison for killing man who bought her for sex
By Tina Burnside, CNN
(CNN)Cyntoia Denise Brown, a woman serving a life sentence for killing a man who bought her for sex when she was 16 years old, has been granted clemency, the Tennessee governor’s office said Monday.
Brown will be released to parole supervision on August 7 after serving 15 years in prison, Gov. Bill Haslam’s office said in a statement.
“This decision comes after careful consideration of what is a tragic and complex case,” Haslam said.
“Cyntoia Brown committed, by her own admission, a horrific crime at the age of 16. Yet, imposing a life sentence on a juvenile that would require her to serve at least 51 years before even being eligible for parole consideration is too harsh, especially in light of the extraordinary steps Ms. Brown has taken to rebuild her life. Transformation should be accompanied by hope.”
Brown’s case drew the attention of several high-profile advocates including a US congressman, several Tennessee lawmakers and a number of A-List celebrities. Comedian Amy Schumer, reality star Kim Kardashian West and actress Ashley Judd were among those who called for Brown’s clemency.
