Troubled couple Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown face yet another legal battle - two former employees have named the pop superstars as defendants in a sexual harassment suit.

Houston's former assistant SILVIA (corr) VEJAR and her ex-seamstress ROSE HUNT claim they were unexpectedly fired after telling the singer about alleged unwelcome sexual advances made by Brown.

The two women claim they suffered "intentional discrimination and emotional distress" after telling Houston of their concerns.

The pop star couple are already embroiled in another legal spat after police were called to their Atlanta, Georgia, home in December (03), when a frantic Houston called to report a fight between her and her husband. Brown is awaiting trial on battery charges.
