Liza with a Z has become Liza with a Shhh!
Oscar-winning singer/actress Liza Minnelli has struck a secret deal to end the sordid, $100 million sexual-harassment lawsuit by her former right-hand man.
M’Hammed Soumayah had filed suit in Manhattan Supreme Court against the “Cabaret” star back in 2004, charging she’d beat him during booze-fueled rampages and forced him to have sex with her.
“After many repeated attempts by Minnelli to compel plaintiff to have sex with her,” the married father of two “eventually succumbed” after she threatened to fire him from his $283,000-a- year job as her chauffeur, the suit said.
Minnelli battled her employee of 10 years in court, filing a $250,000 countersuit charging him with violating a confidentiality agreement.
Minnelli was ordered to face the music last month and sit for a deposition.
Court records show the two sides struck a deal to end the case on Nov. 13 — just four days before Minnelli was supposed to sing.
