The cardinal rule of dealing with the hired help when you’re a rich person is to not piss them off. For starters, they know all the ins and outs of your personality and sometimes, even your dirty little secrets, literally and figuratively. In the case of Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell and wife Vicky, taking care of the help can prevent dirty laundry from airing later.
According to TMZ, Cornell’s cleaning lady, Elia Mora, who cleaned their house from 2006 through the end of 2011, filed a suit saying that Vicky insulted and eventually firing her after she declined to return to the couple’s house after she finished her day of work.
Mora also claims she worked 43 hours a week and without receiving any overtime. She also says she never got uninterrupted 30-minute lunches, and she never received uninterrupted 10-minute rest periods.
Though it seems from first glance this could be a case of sour grapes since Mora worked for five years under these circumstances, it still can be a burden for the Cornells to deal with the time and energy to defend themselves here. No matter how you cut it, the Soundgarden singer and his wife are going to have a chore on their hands to make this go away.

They must share the same conditioner or something.
I think iirc Cornell kinda was full of himself to begin with...and it showed more when he fronted Audioslave. (One point was a radio show he did saying that their second album, which was getting ready to release at the time, would become as classic as Zep's Zoso LP. Nowadays for me his saving grace is that his music is the choice of certain Marvel flicks (first Iron Man and The Avengers).
