Golden Girl Betty White, 94, is being sued by her former live-in employee for improper treatment.

Anita Maynard of Los Angeles filed a lawsuit last week saying that she was White's domestic employee from February 23, 1994 until March 11, 2016 and worked shifts lasting more than 14 hours without being paid overtime, according to Buzzfeed.

Maynard, who did not say what she was being paid to do for White, claimed she 'was not a personal attendant because she spent more than 20 percent of her time performing work other than feeding and dressing a person who needs supervision.'

Maynard claims that she worked six days a week and was not given proper wages or uninterrupted meal periods, according to CBS.

She also claims that she was not given all of her wages or her vacation pay after she left the job, according to the complaint.

Maynard is asking that the court give her all wages owed, as well as penalties and attorney’s fees.

She also wants to file an injunction to stop White from making future violations.

NBC's The Golden Girls was on TV more than 30 years ago and Betty is the last living member.

Betty White played Rose, Estelle Getty played Sophia, Rue McClanahan played Blanche, and Beatrice Arthur as Dorothy on the classic show.

A television staple since the medium's inception, Betty made her first TV appearance in 1949's Hollywood On Television and went on to co-star in hit sitcoms like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Golden Girls in later decades.

Betty was nominated for an Emmy for Hot In Cleveland in 2011 - just one of her 18 lifetime Emmy nominations (of which she has won six) - and won a Screen Actors Guild Award that same year.
