DOG WHISPERER star CESAR MILLAN has been hit with a lawsuit from a former employee who alleges he was sacked after taking time off to battle alcoholism.
Sean Hawkins, the former executive director of the Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation, took a leave of absence in June (10) to seek help for his personal problems.
According to a lawsuit filed on Wednesday (10Nov10), Hawkins was promised his job would be safe - but when he returned to work sober, he was allegedly stripped of his title and eventually fired.
Hawkins is suing the reality TV star for unspecified damages, reports TMZ.com.
