Shakira’s hips might not lie, but her lips are a different story.
The stunning songstress has been slapped with a $100 million lawsuit by her ex-boyfriend/manager, who charges she reneged on a deal to keep paying him his share of her business profits after they broke up.
In his Manhattan Supreme Court suit, Antonio de la Rúa says he transformed the struggling Shakira Mebarak Ripoll into a financial powerhouse.
The pair started dating in 2000. She asked de la Rúa to take over “the business behind the Shakira brand” after her 2004 tour lost money.
Under his management, she earned “tens of millions of dollars” touring, and scored a $300 million deal with Live Nation, the suit says.
The pair broke up in 2010, but their business partnership continued until October 2011, when she had her lawyer fire him, the suit says.
Shakira, who’s now pregnant with soccer star Gerard Pique’s baby, has since refused to pay him any of the profits or property he’s owed, the suit says.
Her rep declined comment.
