Abusive Manhattan landlord

A 65 year old housekeeper, Irma Diaz, is suing her employer Abe Haruvi, a landlord who owns forty buildings in Manhattan.  And according to the New York Post, Haruvi tried to evict rent-stabilized tenants by wrongly claiming he needed their homes for his personal use.  Diaz claims that she was forced to work around 130 hours every week, share her living quarters with a dog, and eat leftovers from the trash.  However, another one of Haruvi’s employers claims that she never heard of Diaz or the allegations in the lawsuit. 

Are these allegations true or just another way to scam a wealth landlord out of money?  It is difficult to decide who is telling the truth in this situation, and there seems to a great deal uncertainty in terms of the evidence.
