Adam Sandler has taken on his children’s former nanny and won.
A court has ordered Deanne McDonald, who was hired as a nanny in 2009, to pay back $80,000 in damages after she accused him of treating her like a slave.
Sandler then paid McDonald $48,000, as well as a further $29,000 to her attorneys, to make the matter go away and she signed a confidentiality agreement.
However, despite agreeing not to speak about the matter, last year she changed her mind and tried to file a lawsuit.
But an arbitrator quickly ruled she was in violation of the confidentiality agreement by repudiating it, disclosing confidential information and threatening to sue, and an appeals court told her to pay back the $80,000 Sandler had paid to keep her quiet.
