Irving Azoff is also named in the lawsuit. He is accused of having prior knowledge that Rochelle has sexually assaulted, abused, and harassed several victims in the past.

She first started her reign of terror in April 2022, nearly four months after hiring Martinez as the live-in housekeeper for the LA-power couple. According to the lawsuit, Rochelle regularly summoned the housekeeper and stripped naked for no apparent reason other than to ask to complement her body.

Rosa Martinez recalled writing a resignation letter in June 2022 and leaving the note on Rochelle’s bed. Rochelle threatened to have her strip searched unless she signed a severance agreement. Martinez signed the document to avoid having her body touched. Later, she learned that Rochelle has denigrated her to the agency she was hired from, telling them she had fired her and there was no resignation.
