The following are excerpts from the public court documents
Did she even work there?
did she, or didn’t she… she claims she was offered work, in which Shoshani denies! One peron’s word against the other! But, if she worked there, one would think that there would be obvious record of employment, employment contracts, payroll documentation, tax records, etc, right?!
The plaintiff contends that after she initially met Shoshani in June 2007, she had phone conversations with Shoshani in which they agreed to terms that resulted in the plaintiff’s moving to New York and starting work for Zip in October 2007. Pl.’s Response to Def.’s 56.1 ¶ 7. The defendants maintain that Shoshani never offered any employment position to the plaintiff and that Shoshani rejected the plaintiff’s request for employment. Def.’s 56.1 ¶¶ 7, 15.
…Shoshani and the plaintiff were involved in a
romantic relationship, which ultimately ended in 2014.
The plaintiff was not placed on Zip/MH’s payroll and never
had a Zip/MH personnel file. Id. ¶¶ 1-3. The plaintiff also
never submitted a W-4 withholding form to Zip/MH and never
received a W-2 wage form from Zip/MH. Id. ¶¶ 4-5.
She will tell you she is American, born in America!
The public court documents states quite clearly that she is not American, she was born in Canada, is a Canadian citizen, and solicited Shoshani to help her obtain American citizenship!
The plaintiff
believed that the Consulting Agreement would be used to
compensate her for services that she had previously rendered for
Zip/MH, while the defendants argue that the agreement was
executed solely to have the plaintiff, a Canadian citizen,
achieve legal working status in the United States. Id. ¶¶ 24-25;
Pl.’s Response to Def.’s 56.1 ¶¶ 24-25.
