‘Major Dad’ Star Gerald McRaney Seeks $11,000 From Former Maid
“Major Dad” star Gerald McRaney wants his former maid to return $11,000 taken from his account to pay her son’s tutor, weight-loss clinics and furnishings for her home.
Paulette Ava Broughton, 45, pleaded no contest on Dec. 3 to grand theft by embezzlement, and was ordered to perform at least 200 hours of community service and to reimburse McRaney and his wife, actress Delta Burke.
During a hearing Tuesday to determine how much money was owed, McRaney told a Los Angeles Superior Court judge that Broughton did not have permission to write herself checks out of the couple’s household account.
“She just didn’t have permission to use the money,” said Deputy Dist. Atty. Carol Rash. The prosecutor said that the money was embezzled during a three-month period earlier this year.
“The money was used on weight-loss clinics, furniture for her house, to pay her gas bill, her son’s tutor and to pay the rent,” Rash said.
