‘RACY’ MANSION

Worker ‘XXX torment’ at Bloomy home

- By KATHIANNE BONIELLO kboniello@nypost.com m

Former Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s Hamptons estate is more like the Playboy Mansion than Gracie Mansion, according to a lawsuit that claims workers are doing the nasty all over the $20 million home.

At the center of the secretive shenanigan­s at Ballyshear were managers Marika Sygman and Steve Kaczynski, who liked to get busy in rooms throughout the 22,000-squarefoot Georgian landmark, claims former housekeepe­r Nelly Amaya.

Just two weeks into her gig at the Bloombergs’ 11-bedroom, eight-bath Southampto­n home, Amaya says two co-workers warned her “to be cautious when entering rooms in the mansion because she could easily witness Sygman and Kaczynski engaging in sexual behavior,” according to papers filed in Brooklyn federal court.

The maid claims she once overheard the lovers planning “to have sex in the billiard room in the basement, next to the laundry room.”

When the couple realized she had heard them, Sygman blurted, “No questions, Nelly!”

“She was really upset,” recalled Amaya, a married mother of three.

When Amaya raised concerns about the sexually charged environmen­t, Sygman allegedly warned staffers, “If anyone goes to HR, see how far you fly when Mr. B kicks your ass out the door.”

But Bloomberg, who showed up only three times in the five months Amaya worked for him, was a good boss and “really respectful,” Amaya said.

“I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know what’s happening there,” the Ecuadorian immigrant told The Post. “He needs to know he trusts some really bad people.”

Amaya, who made $70,000 a year as executive housekeepe­r, says she was further “tormented” by two fellow housekeepe­rs who regaled her with vulgar tales from the sack.

The couple “revealed explicit and offensive details about their masturbati­on habits and sexual experience­s,” which included orgies and bedding an “underage male,” the lawsuit claims.

Amaya claims the sex talk caused her physical injury when, in fleeing from one conversati­on, she “blacked out” and slipped down a staircase. She suffered a concussion, bruises and back injuries, she said.

She claims she stopped working be- cause of the medical issues, her pay was cut off after eight weeks and she was eventually fired.

“Nelly went to work to feed her family and not to be treated like a second-class citizen,” said her lawyer, John C. Luke Jr. “We will get to the truth.”

When she tried too convince Ballys-Ballyshear human resources that her injuries were related too discrimina­tion — which included anti-Hispanic comments by co-workers — Amaya claims Bloomberg exec Diane Gubelli forced her to delete the conversati­ons she had recorded among her co-workers.

Amaya is suing Ballyshear LLC, Syg-gman, Kaczynski and Gubelli for unspecifie­d damages.

Sygman called thee allegation­s “simply not true.” A Ballyshear lawyer didn’t return a message seeking comment. Kaczynski couldn’t be reached.
