Tanning Nanny Suing Heather Mills; Says Stories 'All Lies' in Just-Released Video (Video)

YouTube
The lawsuit facing Heather Mills has just gotten more bizarre. Just hours after it was revealed that Mills’s nanny was suing her, a YouTube clip surfaced of the nanny singing the former model’s praises and slamming the press for printing "lies." Sara Trumble, 24, is claiming that she performed tasks beyond her outlined duties — which she thought were simply caring for Beatrice. Her other alleged tasks including coming in at 7:30 AM to blow-dry Mills’s hair and applying a weekly spray tan to the ex-model’s naked body (supposedly to match the shade of her prosthetic leg).
After the Sunday Mirror of London revealed that Trumble was taking Sir Paul McCartney’s ex-wife to an employment tribunal over allegations of sex discrimination and intimidation, BraveNewFilm posted a two-minute video clip of Trumble entitled: "Sara Trumble: My Story." In the video, Trumble says, "It drives me mad the stories that come out, they’re all lies. It makes you want to shout and scream at the press, and just tell them it’s rubbish." She adds, "Now I’ve got a baby, Heather’s given me a chance to work when no one else would take me."
Who posted the video? When was the video taped?
London’s Daily Mail reports that the video is carefully edited to appear as a recent interview. The Sunday Mirror of London was one of the first outlets to break the story and is seen in the beginning of the clip. But, in fact, the footage was shot months ago, reports the Daily Mail, and filmed at Mills’s East Sussex mansion before the pair fell out. However, Mills’s spokesman Joe Dolce is quoted telling the Mail, "The claim that Heather posted this video on YouTube is patently untrue and false." According to a the nanny’s close friends, Mills orders her staff to "film a 15-minute interview when they join, saying what a wonderful woman she is and how evil the newspapers are."
Heather, 40, is expected to argue that Trumble was a housekeeper as well as a nanny, and that she helped buy her a car, took her on holidays and allowed her to work frexible hours after she became a mother. The two sides have 28 days to come to a negotiated settlement or fight it out in court.
