White Mother Sends Racist Text To Newly Hired Black Nanny, Then Fires Her For Being Offended

The wife of a Manhattan financier hired a nanny for her baby, but freaked out when she realized the caretaker was African-American and fired off a text message saying,

  “NOOOOOOOOOOO ANOTHER BLACK PERSON,” a lawsuit alleges.

Lynsey Plasco-Flaxman, a Tribeca mother of two, wrote the message for her spouse, Joel Plasco, upon meeting new nanny Giselle Maurice for her first day at work in 2016.

Only she didn’t send the text to Plasco — she accidentally sent it to Maurice. Twice.

When she realized the gaffe, Plasco-Flaxman immediately fired the experienced caretaker, saying she felt “uncomfortable.”

She said that their outgoing nanny was African-American and had done a bad job — and that they were expecting a Filipino.

Now Maurice, 44, is suing the couple for discrimination and seeking compensation for wages she says she was promised — $350-a-day for a six-month live-in gig.

“[I want] to show them, look, you don’t do stuff like that,” Maurice told The Post Friday, saying they paid her for the single day’s work and sent her home in an Uber.

“I know it’s discrimination.”

But the family says their actions were reasonable, arguing they couldn’t trust Maurice after offending her.

I am very disgusted but not surprised. Then to fire her in such poor taste is mind blowing. I'm glad the Nanny is suing, how far will she get, I don't know.
