The $3million lawsuit from 2019 was closed out by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Andrew Borrok by Carey against Lianna “Azarian” Shakhnazarian, per a decision from Wednesday.

The terms of the settlement, however, were kept under wraps.

Carey had accused Shaknazarian of secretly recording her “personal activities” and “intimate” videos of her and blackmailing her with them if the singer did not give her $8 million.

According to the singer, the former assistant had also violated a non-disclosure agreement that was signed when she was hired in 2015.
