do not be mean to me
Marilyn Kisters
Arabic translation:Iyyaaka an tu'aamilani bikhushuna
Explanation:
The suggested answer, based on your hint, is -in back translation- beware of treating me (don't treat me) harshly. It could also be: La t'abath ma'ee (don't ...with me). You can also say: La tufsid (or tushawwish) Hayaati --don't foul up (or disturb) my life.

Marilyn: if he messes up with you, let me know.

LA TATALA'B BE


Explanation:
لا تتلاعب بي
We can use this form. It has the sense of (don't play games with me)or something like (don't make me your game!!).
I also agree with gghosn. I think we all should benefit from his knowledege and insight.

Explanation:
I would put "do not mess with me" in Arabic as "إياك والتعرض لي
which warns the other not to, absolutely, do anything that could hurt you.
While "do not be mean to me" directly means لا تكن خسيسا معي
Best regards,
Ahmad
