Rhoney star Racquel Chevremont files shocking $10m suit against ex Mickalene Thomas
Serious Allegations Against Ex-Fiancée
Real Housewives of New York City star Racquel Chevremont has filed a $10 million lawsuit against her ex-fiancée and business partner, Mickalene Thomas.
According to court documents, Racquel says she was subjected to 10 years of exploitation, nonpayment and sexual harassment.
10 Year Partnership, Zero Fair Payment?
Racquel, a highly respected art curator and consultant, worked with Mickalene from 2012 until 2022.
They not only provided creative input, but also bridged galleries, collectors and institutions, negotiating multi-million dollar deals, but they claim they never received proper compensation.
Diversion of Funds and Opportunities
The lawsuit also alleges that Mickalene illegally diverted funds and business opportunities from their jointly-owned entity to her separate LLC.
Racquel says this was not just a financial betrayal, but part of a toxic work environment.
Fallout of Personal Relationship
The two got engaged in 2019 but broke up in 2020.
The professional partnership continued after the break-up, but Racquel says Mickalene repeatedly pressured her to resume a romantic relationship.
When Racquel refused, her job was allegedly terminated — which she says is a violation of New York State and City Human Rights Laws.
Legal Grounds and Demands
The case includes charges such as breach of contract, unjust enrichment, quantum meruit, conversion, sexual harassment and retaliation.
Racquel is demanding not only $10 million in damages, but also interest, legal fees and additional costs.
From Power Couple to Courtroom
Racquel and Mickalene were once the power couple of the art world.
In 2018, she launched the Deux Femme Noirs project, which aimed to create a space for women, people of color and queer artists.
But now that the partnership has turned into a messy legal battle.
Moving forward in a new life
After Split, Racquel started a new chapter in her personal life.
Now she is engaged to her current fiancée Mel, who is a forensic neuropsychologist.
In an episode of RHONY, she proudly flaunted her massive diamond ring.
in the end:
This case is not just a drama about a celebrity breakup, but a cautionary tale about how intense the consequences can be when personal and professional boundaries blur.
