NBC News reported Monday that Stella Bulochnikov Stolper, a television producer and former manager for Carey, alleged that Sater and Kalsom Kam attempted to use an electronic back door to tap into her computers, smartphones and other devices to get at her industry contacts and personal files.

The lawsuit seeks more than $1 million in damages and the return of Stolper's files.

Stolper said in the lawsuit that Sater had been a childhood friend and that the two got back in touch in November 2017 at a funeral. She alleged that Sater "took advantage" of her "delicate emotional state and their shared history."

Sater and Kam issued separate statements to NBC denying the allegations.

Sater called the lawsuit a "lame attempt by a former business partner and romantic interest to avoid paying her obligations to me under our confidential settlement agreement" after parting ways.

Kam told the news outlet that he "was completely authorized by Stella to do the work that I was doing."

Sater, a Russian-born businessman who worked with other Trump associates on several real estate deals, including negotiations for a Trump Tower Moscow development, is scheduled to testify publicly before the House Intelligence Committee on March 14.
