Mother accidentally sent nanny racist text, fired her: suit

Sorry it is the post...but Kurt Eichenwald posted it on Twitter. Found it interesting.


The wife of a Manhattan financier hired a nanny for her baby, but freaked out when she realized the caretaker was African-American and fired off a text message saying, “NOOOOOOOOOOO ANOTHER BLACK PERSON,” a lawsuit alleges.

Lynsey Plasco-Flaxman, a Tribeca mother of two, wrote the message for her spouse, Joel Plasco, upon meeting new nanny Giselle Maurice for her first day at work in 2016.

Only she didn’t send the text to Plasco — she accidentally sent it to Maurice. Twice.

When she realized the gaffe, Plasco-Flaxman immediately fired the experienced caretaker, saying she felt “uncomfortable.”

I hope the nanny wins, big time.
