Former Big Brother winner Mike “Boogie” Malin is being sued by a business partner who claims he embezzled money and spent it on partying, traveling and sex. The lawsuit is seeking millions of dollars in damages.
Mike “Boogie” Malin appeared on Big Brother 2 and won $500,000 as the last houseguest standing on Big Brother 7: All Stars. He currently co-stars with VH1 reality star Lonnie Moore on the reality show Famous Food.
Shereene Arazm, a partner of Malin and Moore in the Geisha House, LLC restaurant group, has filed a lawsuit against them claiming they embezzled money from the business. The suit claims the two stole funds from the company to “support their lavish party-boy lifestyles.”
“They gambled away hundreds of thousands of dollars that never belonged to them, they used some of the stolen monies to pay for sex, and they traveled the world at Arazm’s and the restaurant group’s expense,” the lawsuit claims.
Shereene Arazm also accuses Malin of squandering corporate funds to have “multiple sexual encounters with various older men during which Malin would live out fetish role play fantasies.”
Mike “Boogie” Malin claims that he was sent notice of Arazm’s lawsuit before it was filed and told to pay up or it would go to court. Malin proceeded to file his own multi-million dollar lawsuit against Arazm for extortion and claims Arazm and her lawyer, Marty Singer, illegally hacked his emails and tapped his phone calls.
Marty Singer, Arazm’s lawyer, told TMZ.com the claims against his client are “completely false and fabricated.”
