Halsey is speaking out after their infant son’s former nanny filed a lawsuit against them.
The former nanny, Ashley Funches, is claiming in the lawsuit that she was wrongfully terminated. She is said to be suing the performer for disability discrimination and retaliation. Ashley alleged that Halsey had her fired after Ashley took some time off work for a medical emergency.
But Halsey’s rep is now shooting down Ashley’s claims.
In a statement released on Thursday (June 9), they said:
“These allegations are baseless. This individual’s employment was recently terminated in response to specific incidents in which Halsey’s infant was left unsupervised in an unsafe location while under the nanny’s care, and it was discovered the nanny was intoxicated while the child was in her care.
Furthermore, at no time during this individual’s term of employment with Halsy were any complaints even raised.
Consequently, while Halsey is both saddened and disappointed by this turn of events. They feel it is important to refute these allegations publicly, as they take ableism and ethical working conditions very seriously. Halsey wants to be absolutely clear that they remain a vocal advocate both against ableism and for ethical working conditions.”
