Star's angry ex nanny reveals: "I couldn't take any more ****"
It's just all too Madge
Star's angry ex nanny reveals: "I couldn't take any more ****"
THE nanny who walked out on Madonna has revealed the torment she suffered working for the fiery star.
Angela Jacobsen said she suddenly quit last week because she couldn't put up with "this s*** any more".
Now the 29-year-old Australian is taking legal advice over the confidentiality agreement she says she was forced to sign.
Angela-who looked after the star's adopted son David Banda-says she handed in her notice only to be sacked by Madonna, 50, a few days later.
She is now back at her Melbourne home after spilling out the nightmare of working 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the diva on her Facebook page.
"Not putting up (with) this s*** any more. Never have, never will," Angela wrote.
"Standing up for my rights regardless of consequence. Sick of always being the one who compromises."
Her website posting on March 19 said the decision "was sudden and unexpected".
Angela-who has also worked for a tennis star-added: "Highly qualified and experienced nanny seeking work! Who wants me?! I'll survive, they breed them tough in Australia!"
Angela's internet revelations paint Madge in poor light as she prepares to fly to Malawi to adopt a second African child-a baby girl.
She is already hugely dependent on a team of carers who look after her three children-Lourdes, Rocco and David.
Angela is understood to have been under contract until the end of June. She arrived home on Friday with her new boyfriend, after holidaying in Thailand and has engaged a lawyer to help her negotiate a settlement with Madonna.
A friend said: "She was sick of traipsing around the world looking after other people's children.
"Her plan was to be home and be settled by the time she was 30."
Angela's brother, Brad, has revealed his sister is too frightened to speak out for fear of being sued. "Madonna is a pretty private sort of person," Brad Jacobsen said.
"Angela was coming up to the end of her two year contract and had made the decision not to continue.
"She hasn't said much about it because she is very worried about getting sued. She told me a while ago that she didn't want to go back to Madonna."
But a friend said it was still a shock when Madonna told her to leave immediately two hours before she was due to go on her annual month-long leave.
"Angela was incredibly upset and very surprised because she had been told about the second adoption and thought she was badly needed for a few more months," said a friend.
"She had previously handed in her notice and always planned to leave anyway, but she was shocked to have her employment terminated so abruptly.".
Madonna is known to be a demanding boss.
"All Madonna's employees work incredibly long hours, so it's no surprise that Angela had had enough," a source said.
"If you work for Madonna you are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There's no such thing as a weekend."
A spokesman for the star said: "I do not comment on household issues but I can assure you that David and Madonna's other two children are very well taken care of at all times."
