Heather Mills Sued by Nanny for Naked Spray Tans
Filed under: Celeb Parents
Heather Mills, who divorced ex Paul McCartney in 2006, may soon find herself back in the courtroom. This time, the Dancing with the Stars alum could be facing down her nanny, who cares for Heather and Paul's five-year-old daughter, Beatrice.The nanny, Sara Trumble, is accusing Heather of sex discrimination and intimidation. Though she was allegedly only hired to care for the child, Sara says she was asked to work late hours, blow dry Sara's hair, and give a naked Heather spray tans.
That last one would definitely be a deal breaker, I think.
Heather is, of course, denying the claims vigorously, and the pair have roughly a month to come to an agreement to keep the matter out of court. Mill's longtime publicist left her earlier this year, though, with some less than flattering things to say.
Naked spray tanning aside, if you have a nanny, how do you draw the line between professional and personal?

Nefertari said...It's called the word 'no'. If you don't want to do something saying no would have eliminated this problem. Suing someone for doing something that you could have easily say no to, sounds suspect.

Paul Cyopick said...I have a live in nanny, and we get along great. When she first came to us, I had to ask her to stop calling me Sir. She takes care of the kids and cleans, I can, an do, take care of myself just fine.
Saying no isn't always easy. Nanny's are sometimes in the country on a work visa, and losing their job could mean being sent back home.

Isn't the child's name Beatrice?
Anyway, I was a nanny for years, and while I was asked to do some odd things, and quite often asked to work later then I had agreed to, I think I would have drawn a line at spray tanning someone naked....but Paul has a point. A lot of nannies are here on work visas, or illegally, and fear losing their jobs or being deported or whatever....I don't blame her for doing it, but why is she sueing now? Didn't Heather Mills just get some money from Paul? Hmm, strange, but whatever.

agentsarahjane said...I heard Heather just blew through her divorce settlement money. Naked spray tans... sounds too weird not to be true. Regardless of the immigration status of the nanny, it is a bit strange that she couldn't find the backbone to say no, however Heather has a mean streak in her and may have coerced the nanny at the time. It all remains to be seen

Karen said...I think there is often a blurred line between Nanny/personal assistant/friend. That is why it is so very important to have a written contract defining the role of the nanny in the beginning. That doesn't mean it can't be ammended, but it does mean that it requires both people to agree.
I recently read an article about how "old money" and "new money" treat household help differently. Seems "old money" knew where to draw the line between employee and employers and that "new money" often forms more personal relationships that often go wrong. This seems to be especially true of live-in help.
I don't personally think that using a spray tan machine is all that horrible. I'm not freaked out by nudity and clearly this is something that requires another person to apply. I would just rather a skilled person was doing the spraying. But I do agree that people need to learn to say no to things that offend them rather than do it, then try to sue later.
