Victoria Principal is countersuing her former housekeeper who accused the actress of pointing a gun at her.

Maribel Banegas claims the Dallas star fired her on 26 December (08) and threatened to shoot her after she allegedly took too long to walk her pet dog Mei-Ling.

In court documents filed on Monday (04May09), Banegas alleges the actress "pointed and aimed" the gun at her and "verbally threatened to kill" her when she asked for wages, reports to TMZ.com.

Banegas claims assault, false imprisonment and emotional distress and is calling for unspecified damages.

And now Principal is fighting back with her own lawsuit filed against the worker, who she claims was a temporary employee who was fired after damaging the backdoor at her home, injuring her dog and demanding money from the actress.

Principal is suing for unspecified damages.
