Naomie Olindo hit back at her former colleague Virginia “Ginny” Cox’s “defamatory” fraud lawsuit with her own scathing counterclaims in a filing obtained by Page Six exclusively on Thursday.
“After being terminated for employee theft and other misconduct, Cox filed this defamatory lawsuit with the intention of extorting money through a set of claims that are knowingly false,” the “Southern Charm” star, 30, alleges in the court documents.
Olindo slams nearly every allegation Cox made in her initial complaint — including that she was co-owner of the fashion brand L’Abeye — and claims the fired employee was actually let go for stealing on multiple occasions.
The Bravolebrity says in the documents that one of the most damning instances of theft was when Cox allegedly hacked into her computer to access her American Express account — which was linked to both personal and business finances — and used points on the credit card to vacation with her boyfriend in Florida.
Olindo also claims the former retail worker stole clothing from the apparel company and sold them at local consignment shops for her own personal profit.
As a result of the alleged findings, the reality star says she had to install a security camera at her office space on May 18, 2022, which Cox allegedly “disabled” within a few minutes.
Olindo included in her filing an affidavit from Madison Acee, the marketing director at L’Abeye, who backed up her boss’ claims that Cox was a thief.
“I witnessed her on multiple occasions purchase items and incur charges on the company card and referencing ‘not caring’ what Naomie thinks while doing so,” Acee alleges. “She would push the company card of me and tell me to use it to fill up gas in my car.”
Olindo claims Cox stole clothes from her company to sell them on her own.
