Celebrity Justice
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.

33. The nanny is probably full of it. De niro probably wasnt even around the house half the time and I never heard of a nanny getting paid for vacation. Seems alot of this is happening lately. People wanting to sue because the person is wealthy or as celebrity.

40. i believe the nanny........ when i worked at my friends company i put a ton of hours building his company for 3 years.... brought him from 8k in sales per month to over 220,000 in sales per month .. changed his life style and when it was time to hand over my 70,000 dollars for my efforts .............. he screwed me... so money does change people and i believe robert deniro owes that money to that lady..

what a shame.

i dont like him anymore...

my ex-friend continues with his business pretending to know what to do and pretending to everyone that he build a successfull company......

41. Another story of people not wanting to RAISE THEIR OWN CHILDREN. Why would DeNiro's wife need a nanny? They are not puppies.

42. not surprising. i bet this woman made more then the "average" american citizen this year. who wants to bet she wasnt a "legal" american citizen???? i can almost guarantee it! she probably had enough to bring her whole family from mexico to california ...but what about the 30 + extra children??? i guess thats the reason she sued. i hope she doesnt get a DIME!!!go back to the less fortunate countrys and see what type of money you make then. i REFUSE to spend my tax dollars on leaches who steal jobs from the citizens and use the gonvernment assitance time after time. ---digusted!

43. The people asking why the rich have to screw the less fortunate.
Flip it-

Why do the less fortunate have to try to screw the rich?
To get a piece of the pie.
Rich get nothing by screwing the less fortunate.

44. Considering his personal history and behavior, I wouldn't give him the benefit of a doubt about anything. Trash.

45. The nanny is telling the truth. She worked those hours because Mr. Deniro and his wife, Grace are never home with their eleven year old son, Elliott. It's pitiful. Grace is mean as hell, selfish, emotionally abusive, and she is especially mean to Deniro's twins with Toukie Smith. He doesn't know how badly she treats them. He would leave her if he really knew.

She treats her own family and her friends like they're lucky she spares them any of her time. She is so busy being a "socialite" and following Mr. Deniro everywhere, she has to rely on other people to raise her son.

Some of his friends think he's afraid to leave her because she has him intimidated and feeling beholden because she was there for him when he had cancer.

It was hard to get another nanny after all the other's left because they were being treated like dirt. This one stayed because she really loves Elliott.

Mr. Deniro should know a leopard doesn't change its' spots. I feel sorry for that family.
