‘Housewife’ nanny sues over sex vid
A nanny for “Real Housewives of New York” personality Jennifer Gilbert and her Wall Street executive husband Bennett Egeth claims she was secretly filmed having sex in the couple’s Tribeca home, according to a new lawsuit.
Daniela de los Rios says she discovered the hidden camera when Egeth, 59, left his iPad on a hallway table last August showing a live feed of her bedroom, according to a complaint obtained by the Daily News.
“She was horrified and immediately inspected her room to find a digital clock, which apparently concealed the secret video recording device, aimed at her bed,” the complaint filed Tuesday in Manhattan Supreme Court said.
The clock had been in the room since she moved in with the wealthy couple in January 2019, leaving her “understandably horrified and traumatized,” the filing said.
De los Rios contacted the NYPD, which led to Egeth’s arrest on Sept. 16 and a search of his devices, according to a criminal complaint.
“A number of video clips” showing de los Rios in her bedroom were found in Egeth’s iCloud account. He was charged with unlawful surveillance, the criminal complaint said.
“Egeth had in fact recorded her on many occasions throughout the year and eight months that she lived in the home, including recording her in the nude in the bedroom, and recording her engaged in sexual relations with her then-boyfriend,” the civil complaint alleged.
Egeth said he had no comment when reached by phone Tuesday afternoon.
“No, none, none. Thank you. Have a good day,” he said. Egeth is due back in court on March 11.
“We haven’t been served yet but we have general knowledge of the situation, and we deny all the allegations,” his defense lawyer, David Touger, told The News.
Gilbert, 51, runs the event-planning company Save the Date and appeared in Season 3 of “Real Housewives of New York” as the party planner for Jill Zarin.
She hasn’t been criminally charged and attempts to reach her Tuesday were unsuccessful.
