Maid admits stealing from De Niro's wife
Says she targeted the star’s wife because she was a bad employer
NEW YORK - A housekeeper charged with looting the homes of Manhattan’s rich and famous claimed she targeted Robert De Niro’s wife because she was a bad employer, according to court documents made public Tuesday.
“If she treated me better, with more respect, I probably wouldn’t have done this,” Lucyna Turyk-Wawrynowicz allegedly told police following her arrest.
Turyk-Wawrynowicz, 35, pleaded not guilty last month to charges including grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property. An indictment has identified the theft victims as De Niro’s wife, Grace Hightower, as well as Candice Bergen and Renee Rockefeller.
