The countersuit, filed earlier this month by Marianne, claims that Hilary withheld $1,352,246 from a benefit plan and $359,584.91 from a 401(k) plan; a US retirement plan sponsored by the employer. Marianne's legal team asserted that she had been deprived of agreed benefits and that, "despite all of its trimmings, this case is merely an attempt by an employer to deprive the former employee of pension benefits to which she is expressly entitled".
Hilary's legal team refuted the claims, maintaining that Marianne's position was "insufficient", that she appointed herself vice president "without Hilary's consent", and that she didn't maintain records of her hours, Page Six reports. The assertions further support Rhoda's 2014 lawsuit in which she claimed that her mother "manipulated her familial role to improperly seize - and then abuse - enormous power over Hilary's finances", and used a company credit card "for hundreds of thousands of dollars" in personal expenses.
While Marianne's lawyer had no comment, Hilary Rhoda's representative, John Rosenberg, said: "Hilary is fully confident that the proceedings will confirm that Marianne is not entitled to any of the pension funds and that Marianne established, controlled and structured the pension plans principally to benefit herself, and without Hilary's knowledge funded the plans with Hilary's money."
