Jeff Bezos' Housekeeper Says She Had to Climb Out the Window to Use the Bathroom

The Amazon founder is being sued by his former employee, who claims she was forced to climb out the window of his house to use the bathroom.

In the suit, filed this week in a Washington state court, the former maid claimed that she and Bezos' other household staff were not provided with legally-mandated eating or restroom breaks, and that because there was no "readily accessible bathroom" for them to use, they had to climb

In the complaint, lawyers for the ex-housekeeper, who is described as having worked for wealthy families for nearly 20 years, wrote that household staff were initially allowed to use a small bathroom in the security room of the main house.

According to the suit, the billionaire's employees have been found to have urinary Tract Infections that they believe are related to not being able to use the bathroom at work.

The complaint says there was no break room for the maids. Even though she worked long hours, there was no designated area for her to rest.

According to the lawsuit, the housekeeper was only able to take a lunch break when Bezos or his family were not present, because she was not aware that she was entitled to breaks for lunch or rest.

The Washington Post owner denied the discrimination claims made by his former employee.

The claims in the suit lack merit, according to an attorney for Bezos. The former employee made a lot of money and was the leader of the house.

He said that the former maid was responsible for her own break and meal times and there were several breakrooms available to her.

He said that the evidence would show that the former maid was terminated for her performance. She decided to file this suit after initially demanding over $9 million.

It will be a long time before we find out what really happened at Bezos' house, but if we do, it will be a fascinating peek behind the curtain at the home life of one.

There is more on billionaires.
