In an embarrassing public spat being played out in the pages of Bild
Zeitung, the German tabloid newspaper, Cora Schumacher, 31, has accused
Ulrike Grollmann of pilfering fruit, rifling through their possessions
and using her skin cream.
The paper has published notes written to the cleaner by Mrs Schumacher,
including one which read: "Keep your fingers off our stuff! And where,
actually, are all the bananas?"
Another complaint railed: "Where has all the Nivea cream gone? Keep your
hands off it!"
Mrs Schumacher, whose husband earned £12 million last year as one of the
world's best racing drivers, told the paper that Miss Grollmann had made
the couple's life "unbearable".
"She went into my private cosmetics collection, she sniffed around in my
cabinets, rooted around in the mail," said Mrs Schumacher said.
"We were spied upon. We felt we were under never ending supervision. The
situation was intolerable."
"I felt like we were in Big Brother. Our employees are paid well above
average and I have no desire to explain or discuss things 37 times over.
Hence the notes."
But Miss Grollmann, 50, outraged by the accusations, has insisted that
she was never tempted to pocket the driver's bananas.
"I never touched them," she said. "I don't eat bananas!"
"Mrs Schumacher has no right to insult me. I have never done anything
wrong! I have always behaved correctly.
"I was employed by the celebrity family until 2007 when I became
embroiled in a controversy over unpaid wages which was settled out of
court.
"She has no right to insult me. I never behaved in an unprofessional
manner, but always correctly.
"I don't know why she is making these allegations which come out of thin
air.
"I don't want anything more to do with this peculiar family. It was bad
enough when I worked for them."
The cleaner's lawyer, Roland Gabl said: "She is a respectable woman who
needed medical treatment after she was dismissed. She is a very
respectable lady."
Mrs Schumacher spoke out about the row after her notes to the cleaner
were published.

"Mrs. Schumacher went on to say, 'All last year the Toyota people kept
telling my Ralfie-Poo that he was missing one second a lap. I do not know
but perhaps Ulrike has that missing second, also! The police should look
in her purse!"

How's that, now?

"Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?"
Typical poor reporting, I think there was only one person who claimed he was
one of the best drivers and that was Ralf.

Dammit. Too slow again.

One of the four best in the world, isn't it?

Well, he made it to F1, so IMO he must be. Sure he's not one of the best F1
drivers, but thats not what she said.
AC
(shit, logically I just called Alonso one of the best in the world, doh ;) )
Despite what we may or may not think about Ralph, domestic staff are in a
position of trust, and abusing that is pretty low. I dont blame her for
freaking out at all.
AC
Verdict in already.

This space has deliberately not been left blank.
If you would like to advertise here f*ck off!
it would have been better to just quietly dismiss her services without
cause on the first suspicion.

Without cause?
I must say you lot are ruthless.
And toss away some free publicity?
Agreed. Ralf's wife was naturally very pretty just before they were
married but she was bitten by the Posh Spice plastic surgery disease
or something. These women get this weird work done and they look
freaky. They end up looking like birds. One UK paper said Nicole
Kidman looks like a bat (face) now to to collagen or something.
Cora needs to lay off the cosmetics. She looks creepy now.
wouldn't it have been prudent to just fire her.?
ralf fits that description too.

But Ralf does, over ripe ones that are really black, and usually when
Cora isn't anywhere around.
nudge nudge wink wink say no more

All credibility if the newspaper gone, right there. Er, the sum of money may
be correct..
