Daniela Zahradnikova, 42, said in court papers that she and her ex-boyfriend Henry Buhl had a 'partnership agreement' after she moved into his Manhattan loft in 2006.Daily Mail reports...
She said she would fulfill 'all wifely duties and obligations of a
domestic nature', including cooking, cleaning and plenty of sex, while
Buhl would 'support, maintain and provide for (her) in accordance with
his earning capacity for the rest of her life', according to the
lawsuit.
Though Buhl, who is divorced with adult children, has
moved on to another girlfriend, Zahradnikova claims she's still owed
$1.5million in unpaid wages.
Zahradnikova's attorney Michael Barrows said that his client has honored
the verbal partnership agreement by cleaning, keeping his books and
managing his two boutiques called Space Sixteen, before the retail shops
closed last year.
But Barrows said Buhl did not keep up his end
of the agreement and in February he told Zahradnikova that she had to
move out of his 8,000 square-foot SoHo bachelor pad by the end of the
month.
Barrows said that Zahradnikova maintained an 'intimate
relationship' with her sugar daddy until at least a few months ago, when
he started dating another woman.
'I don't want to have an old girlfriend living here while a new one moves in,' Buhl told the New York Post. 'She's waiting until we eject this Daniela.'
He said he's been 'asking her to leave for the last two or three years'.
'She wanted to get a full time job because she wasn't making enough to rent an apartment,' he added. 'Now we have asked her to leave by the end of the month. So she filed a lawsuit. I'm disappointed.'
The pair are still sharing the unit, but living on opposite ends of the loft.
'I've given her free rent for a long time, for about ten years,' 'It never worked.'
