Thugs and goons may be scared of Robert de Niro’s screen persona but definitely not the case for his child’s nanny. Robert de Niro has an 11-year old son by his wife Grace Hightower. Robert de Niro’s nanny sued him for over $40,000 worth of unpaid overtime. Alexis Barry was fired by Robert de Niro after she threatened to quit her job as a nanny but he never paid her dues. Alexis Barry filed the case in Manhattan’s New York Supreme Court.

Alexis Barry said Robert de Niro never gave her the 10-day vacation she was promised. She said she has worked over 750 hours in overtime but without getting overtime payment from Robert de Niro. Alexis Barry said she started working for Robert de Niro’s household in August 2006 until she was fired 10 months later. Well, it seems Robert de Niro does not have the monopoly of filing suits. He and Al Pacino filed a case versus watchmaker Tutima for using without authority their Righteous Kill scenes without permission and for advertisement purposes.
