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 against the Oscar winner 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.
The purportedly pugilistic performer — who’d also been accused of beating her oddball ex-hubby David Gest — battled her employee of 10 years tooth and nail in court, filing a $250,000 counter-suit charging him with violating a confidentiality agreement and dragging their litigation out for years with numerous appeals.
Minnelli was ordered to face the music last month and sit for a deposition where she’d finally have to answer questions about their relationship under oath.
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.
Soumayah’s suit said the Minnelli told him he was "the love of her life," and that she spat on him and hit him when he rejected her. Minnelli’s lawyers accused Soumayah of a "shakedown," and accused him of working with Gest to "destroy" their client.

Gross.
My wife lived next door to her when they were both kids, and went to school together and played together. My wife doesn’t have a chauffeur though :-)
My theory is that five years from now, Liza Minnelli and Sylvester Stallone will look exactly alike.
Her mother was a great singer when she was young, but a boozer when she got older......booze seems to run in families......in some families it gallops..
That’s Harassment with an “H.”
Naw, Adam Lambert looks just like Liza.
ROFLMAO! Very funny. FReeper humor BUMP!
Call Mickey Rooney.
I could not make sense of this sentence, until I parsed it and realized that by "oddball" the author obviously means "flaming 3-dollar bill homo".
Gosh, you really gotta read between the lines some times.
LOL
