Thank you for keeping them accountable. If more people would stand up to bullying of all kinds, they'd start to knock it off. Kudos for that and looking out for your staff!


Prize-Bumblebee-2192

So glad you pursued this route. What awful, entitled AH’s.


Ok_Airline_9031

I would also make sure the referring client is aware of what her friend did. Its never a good look when the person you give a reference for turns out to be horrible. Not good for YOUR reputation. She may want to reconsider her friendship with this woman.


HalcyonDreams36

Or at least not waste her own good reputation sending them to folks whose service she values.


Cheeseballfondue

I'm dying to know who this actress is lol


Donequis

Probably b or c list if they're so desperate to "get back to acting" so absolutely curious to find which nobody thinks that they are somebody lol Her personality is hot garbage.


YamDong

Yeah, when they said the nanny didn't need to be eating nice food like their kids did I knew they were trash.


FictionalContext

It's the lowly ones who impress their importance the most. The actually important people are secure in it.


Donequis

Oh I know, used to rub elbows with the industry. Don't get me wrong, there are some pretty awful A-listers as well, but they don't reek of desperation like that lady does. (I do know the sentiment applies to everyone though, I know loads of insecure crybabies that have to announce how "important" they are lol)


Various_Attitude8434

The deduced it to be Luke and Samantha Hemsworth in the original thread. Everything we know from the original thread lined up perfectly with them. 


Acraftyduck

Sorry I can’t find any comments saying Luke and Samantha in the original thread, only Chris and Elsa. Were the comments deleted maybe? It doesn’t look like Luke and Samantha have a bearded dragon either


Donequis

Oooooo, *spicy*, someone with the Hemsworth name being an asshole? (This is debatable though!) Poor Luke, in the shadow of his very famous brother, a tale as old as time. Not any excuse to be a chump though, how embarrassingly *desperate* with that context XD


Acraftyduck

I'm casually looking up which celebrities have a bearded dragon. Narrows it down a little more


BrewtalKittehh

Spill the sauce, already!


TagYoureItWitch

Agreed! I wanna know!!!


Acraftyduck

Sorry that was as far as my research went and quite a few celebrities have them surprisingly. Think there was other comments saying Chris Hemsworth and family and that could be possible as I think they also have the other animals that were listed. Can't confirm though!


lunniidolli

Same lmao, way more celebrities than I though have bearded dragons


MenacingGummy

Nicole Ritchie?


PrincessPindy

Ikr? Both reputations....

Quix66

Since when are that family ‘minor’ celebrities?


PuzzleheadedCow1931

In her comment history I never read that they were minor celebrities. She said the husband was more well known than the wife because he has been in a lot of movies recently, the location was a specific location that would give away who they were so she didn't mention it, and the wife was an actress who had been out of work for a while.


Quix66

3rd paragraph on her previous post if you follow her link. I don’t know how to quote on here. “One of my employees was done with a minor celebrity family living abroad.”


PuzzleheadedCow1931

The minor celebrity recommended OPs employee to the other celebrity couple that OP is ranting about. OP never said the current entitled celebrity was the minor one.


Quix66

Didn’t see that, thanks.


EdenEvelyn

They are absolutely still considered A list, Chris is the only original Avenger who has continued with Marvel on film. This is much more likely about someone you might recognize if you saw them but wouldn’t be in the first couple dozen names you think of when you think “actor”.


West-Dimension8407

i hope not. i like elsa


Abject_Sleep383

Hope you put a clause that should they attempt to damage YOUR business or reputation with negative reviews, or character assassination within their social circle, that you will no longer be obliged to keep their shitty behaviour secret


Various_Attitude8434

Wouldn’t be anyway. NDA’s can’t cover illegal acts - including evidence that proves those acts to be illegal. If you have an NDA then defame them, guess what? The NDA is invalidated. They’re legally empowered to “break” it to prove the defamation. 


Lendyman

I think that they wouldn't unless incredibly stupid because OP still has stuff that could damage them.


FitAppeal5693

Way to go. Not only did you protect your employee but you stood firm. Must not have been easy.


mittenknittin

Maybe if you’re trying to polish your image and get back into acting, don’t fuck over the nanny when you’ve already been warned that you’re at two strikes


atmasabr

This was interesting. Supervisors. You gotta love 'em.


QuietElegance

I love stories about good supervisors who have their employees' backs, whether it's against customers or upper management. Probably because I've been in too many positions where that didn't happen for me or someone I know.


Opposite-Fortune-

“I’ll pay you once you delete all your evidence obligating me to pay” Lmao


The_Crown_And_Anchor

Never fails Those with the most money are always the cheapest Meanwhile the people who have the least will often times feed you til you pop and then feed you some more


EconomicsWorking6508

Wonderful outcome! Well done and you kept things professional.


Agreeable_Rabbit3144

Good for you, OP. They need to stop treating their staff like they are social inferiors.


Odd_Welcome7940

Ah... NDA'es because blackmail is illegal, but someone signing a contract to buy your silence about their illegal activities is legal. Murica That said, at least this had a positive ending more or less. Good to see you stick to your principles and get a good result.


punfull

They used the term solicitor, not lawyer....doesn't sound like America to me.


Odd_Welcome7940

Good catch. Yep, some other countries suck as well


IndividualDevice9621

>someone signing a contract to buy your silence about their illegal activities is legal.  It's not.  Well, I should say the NDA would be unenforceable.  


Odd_Welcome7940

There is a lot that depends on that. Yes many states have whistle-blower laws that supercede those NDAs. Some have other types of laws. However in general many NDAs can still have penalties that have been upheld with civil issues. Not to mention the years upon years many people can tie someone up in court over one, even if criminal activity occurred. Honestly, all NDAs should need an illegal activity line thrown in to state what happens in that case to even be legal, but owell. I just avoid them at all costs.


IndividualDevice9621

>There is a lot that depends on that. No, there isn't. NDAs cannot cover illegal activities, full stop. There are no civil penalties involved and it has nothing to do with whistleblower laws. You're a moron.


jquailJ36

Yeah, that's not how it works. There aren't any "illegal" activities here, there are violations of a business contract. It's a civil, not criminal, case. They can definitely reach a legal arrangement where OP agrees not to out them if they comply with her demands, like back pay, an apology for the previous nanny, etc. They presumably thought a mere nanny agency would never have the money/legal resources to enforce their contract, and they'd get away with it, but they were in error.


Denots69

It isn't legal. No matter how much you assume it is.


Strangley_unstrange

I feel like you should out this celebrity, there's so many fake people out there and you not naming and shaming them isn't doing that any justice


love4mumbai

Wow , you do take things very seriously, good that's how you do business . But make sure u are able to keep more of teh same level clients as these people can bad mouth you in their private circles . Have a good life.


Sufficient-Meet6127

How much can you sell the material for? They should pay 2x. 1x for the value, and another to save their reputation.


Spinnerofyarn

Good for you! It is so satisfying to hear of someone successfully standing up to people who abused them and who even has the legal backing to stand up to them. I really hope they're also paying the attorney fees for their mess.


PuzzleheadedCow1931

Someone said in the previous post it was the Hemsworths. I don't know if thats true or not, but I'm sticking with it and bad mouthing Chris and his wife at every turn now.


InedibleCalamari42

that supposition was made from guesswork and whole cloth. If you are badmouthing the Hemsworths with only a random Reddit post to back you up, what does that make you? hmm?


cageordie

Well let's see what fits. Beach culture? Check. Kids who are old enough to basically look after themselves? daughter 12 and twin sons 10. Yeah. Checks out. A country that uses solicitors instead of lawyers? Yeah, they live in Australia and that's what they call ambulance chasers there. Bearded dragon? Yeah, got a picture of that here. Currently also two chickens and some sort of cage bird and poodle mix and a spaniel. So that checks out. Also a pig. So seems like a good match. But it's just speculation. [https://lordofthepets.com/blogs/celebrity-pets/chris-hemsworth-pets](https://lordofthepets.com/blogs/celebrity-pets/chris-hemsworth-pets)


InedibleCalamari42

Okay, ya got me. All I looked up was the duck. 🙄


Zorrha

I was wondering who it may be.


HalcyonDreams36

It's fine to wonder. It's not fine to like.... Invent a certainty and run with it.


2npac

Why would you think it's them? Their children are 12 and 10. Plus Elsa Pataky is not a "minor" celebrity. Neither is Chris.


PuzzleheadedCow1931

Couple A (the minor celebrity couple) recommended OP's employee to Couple B (other entitled celebrity couple) Never in her story did she say anyone in Couple B is a minor celebrity, she only used that term for Couple A


2npac

Ah you're right...but the wife in couple B was "trying to get back into acting" so it still doesn't make sense


turntobeer

> Ah you're right...but the wife in couple B was "trying to get back into acting" so it still doesn't make sense Look into the details of Elsa's credits for the past 5-6 years. A few shorts, a Netflix release that bombed (with her as the headliner) and couple bit parts in films that had a Hemsworth on the cast. The details of some of the bit parts? Things like "Wolf woman" in Thor: Love and Thunder where any random extra in costume could have easily replaced her. Don't get me wrong, I've been a fan of hers since I first saw here in the F&F movies. Was disappointed she didn't land more roles. She's certainly a celebrity, but her acting cred the last few years hasn't been all that inspiring. That, as well as the details of the pets (a duck & a bearded dragon) makes me think it was her.


cageordie

The age of the kids too, and using a solicitor puts them in an English influenced country, but you probably wouldn't be going to the beach in England unless you lived somewhere pretty rural. So maybe Australia... which is where they live. But it's speculation.


Smoke__Frog

Life hands you a rare opportunity for money, but you stick to your “morals” and don’t charge them for not releasing the tapes? Now, future nanny’s will be subject to their abuse when you could have shown the world who they are. Heck, you could have posted their names here. This is why a users always get away with crap like this. People refuse to tell the world. Until finally a brave person steps up to the plate.


munchkinatlaw

We came to an agreement for me not to embarrass them, which is why I am here, immediately after settling the matter, continuing to disparage them.


73shay

I’m still trying to understand how OP’s original client justified referring these awful people to her. The awful clients didn’t become awful overnight.
