Nanny to De Niro: Pay Up, Focker!

Robert De NiroRobert De Niro's former nanny is raging pissed -- claiming the actor stiffed her out of $40k in overtime pay and then fired her.

The nanny claims she racked up 750 hours of O.T. in just ten months of work for Robert and his wife back in 2006, and when she threatened to quit -- De Niro pulled the trigger first.

Now the nanny has filed a lawsuit in Manhattan's state Supreme Court, in which she also claims she never got her 10 days of vacation.

No comment from De Niro's people yet.

18. If these morons would raise their own damn kids, there would be no nanny suits. I'll bet she has a case, though. The Hollywood elite shove their kids off on people they don't even know and expect them to perform miracles.

You go, Nanny! There is something to be said for RAISING YOUR OWN KIDS!

21.
I've lost a lot of respect for Robert Deniro. For a long time, I've felt his modus operandi is
basically to accumulate more money than he knows what to do with. Besides the twenty
million he gets up front, he commands a hefty percentage of the film's back-end profits.
And when you're in Bob's league -- we're taking gross, not net participation. Ok, then there's
the portfolio of restuarants he seems to own in just about every corner of the world. But we're
not done yet... Bob also is considered to be one of New York's biggest properity owners, and I've
read he's even developing multi-million-dollar real estate projects. I don't have a problem with
the accumulation of wealth and power, but when you start cheating people out of forty-thousand
dollars worth of over time pay (assuming the allegation is true) , it's a damn shame someone in
Mr.Deniro's position would do something like that. Ahmet Ertegun, the legendary founder of Altantic
Records, once said: "You can't squeeze the juice out of every situation." If what the nanny is
saying is true, I think Mr.Deniro is definitely sqeezing every last drop there is. Shame on you, Robert
Deniro!

23. An angry bitch w a scumbag attorney. What a first!
DeNiro has "people" that do hiring, firing, and making out paychecks.
Maybe she can get a job w Octopig

25. For some reason I believe the nanny... this time... Do think someone go after 750 OT if it wasnt owed..

26. Mercy Midnight and Angel ---I think you too nailed it...
After so much success and wealth people do feel a sense of entitlement and are more and likely to treat others badly.
I've seen people who had money who weren't famous treat their employees like crap.

If this is true, Deniro should pay and give her pay for her troubles. Even though she probably made good money working for him she would nowhere near be able to afford a legal team like him. If he knows this to be true, he needs to just pay. And not fight her.

27. Angel good for you for handling your situation the way you did. I feel sorry for the children. As far as DeNiro goes, he is a pig.
