Heather Mills Being Sued By Former Nanny For Sex Discrimination And Intimidation

Looks like Heather Mills will be making her way back into court, but only this time it won’t be for gaining a bunch of money, but possibly losing a bunch.

Her former nanny is suing her alleging sex discrimination and intimidation.

Sara Trumble, 24,  claims she was given duties way beyond her role as childminder to her daughter with Sir Paul McCartney Beatrice, 5.

Trumble complained she was asked to give Miss Mills naked spray tans, come to work at 7.30am to blow dry her hair, and work as late as midnight.

Trumble lodged a constructive dismissal claim with an employment tribunal in Ashford, Kent, last week.

The two sides now have 28 days to try to reach an agreement - and if they fail they will have to air their differences in court.

Miss Mills, worth £24million after her divorce, has rejected an offer to pay an out-of-court settlement to the former nanny.

Her spokesman said:

‘Heather is devastated that Sara, who Heather considered a part of her family, should choose to level these accusations at her. This claim will be vigorously defended.’

Miss Trumble resigned in September and claims her job altered after she returned to work from maternity leave earlier this year.

She has complained to friends that she was made to work unsociable hours, including earlier this year in March when she was asked to drive to Heathrow at midnight to get Beatrice, who had flown in from the United States accompanied by a security guard.

According to a Sunday newspaper, Miss Trumble says she had to give Miss Mills weekly fake-tanning sessions.

Miss Trumble is expected to claim that she felt intimidated by Miss Mills, who demanded she keep silent about everything she saw and heard while working for her.

But a source close to Miss Mills said:

‘Heather gave Sara an awful lot of things. When Sara resigned, she got a car as a leaving present, for goodness sake. She also paid for her to have private medical treatment.’
