TheVoice’s Jordan Pruitt is suing her former manager for alleged sexual abuse.
, Pruitt claims in her lawsuit -- first filed on Aug. 14, using pseudonyms -- that the label had her working with Thomas without supervision and that"it knew or should have known that he was a sexual abuser." The singer signed with Hollywood Records in 2005 when she was 14 and released two albums.
"Unfortunately, these large companies are primarily concerned with sales, money and charts,” Pruitt told the publication."Too often they fall short of protecting the young talent that they are ‘supposed’ to be caretakers for. Time and time again we see people in positions of power fail us. I couldn’t be more disappointed in how Disney treats their underage talent like cash cows."
Pruitt claims that the Nashville producer controlled her entire professional life, cut off contact with any boys her age, put her down with negative comments about her looks and talents, as well as allegedly saying he loved her and that no one understood how"special" their relationship was, according to the lawsuit. Pruitt also claims that the abuse began when she was 14 until she turned 16, and that he kissed and took her virginity.
