TYRA BANKS is facing a lawsuit from a former employee who claims he is owed thousands of dollars in unpaid wages.
Richard Thomas filed the papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleging the supermodel-turned-TV presenter failed to pay him $5,820 (£3,638).
The former worker wants the cash for “services rendered as assistant and advisor” to the star, according to papers obtained by TMZ.com.
The legal documents state Thomas must ask Banks in person for the outstanding money before filing the lawsuit, but he insists: “I have not been able to catch (Tyra) while she is in.”
