NBCSN’s Kyle Martino fired his nanny after a salacious text

NBCSN English Premier League studio analyst and co-host of the Travel Channel series “36 Hours” Kyle Martino is married to Eva Amurri, who was in the NBC  series “Undateable.” She blogs regularly and is also Susan Sarandon’s daughter. Amurri’s blog, “Happily Eva After,” chronicles her adventures as a mom and she’s very open and honest. In one recent entry called “Nannygate 2.0,” Amurri discussed how Martino had to fire their nanny on the spot after she sent a text to him. It wasn’t just any type of text, it was one that was the nanny was practically coming onto Martino.

Amurri wrote that while she was on her way back home after a business trip, Martino informed her that he had to fire their nanny. Martino received the following text on his cell phone:

“OMG. Girl, did I mention to you how hot and sex my Boss is. I would love to f**k his brains out ha haah. Too bad he seems not to like thick Latin women with lots to hold on to LOL.”

Amurri writes that after Martino received the text, he was confused by it. And as he was out with one of their children, he saw that the nanny had let herself into their house for her regular shift and was looking at him from inside Martino’s and Amurri’s bedroom and he then realized that text was no mistake.

Martino told his wife that he had to go to a meeting, but decided that he just didn’t feel right so he came back early and that’s when he decided to fire her. He recorded the conversation with the nanny on his smartphone and played it back for Amurri.

Kyle: (exasperated) Um. Ok. Listen, this morning I got a really inappropriate text from you…

(pause)

Nanny: Oh yeah…Sorry

Kyle: Yeah. Ok. Well… needless to say, it’s not the type of environment I want in the house with you taking care of our daughter. So I’m going to have to ask you to go. I can pay you for today and then why don’t you go.

Nanny: Ok.

Kyle writes her a check while Marlowe asks for crackers

Kyle: Ok here you go. Thanks.

Nanny: I’m sorry I was just messing around with a friend I didn’t mean any harm.

Kyle: No need to apologize. Thanks, Bye.

Amurri then added about the nanny’s text:

She sent it the only morning she had that his wife was out of town. I felt a lot of things as I listened to this. I felt anger, I felt pride in my husband for being so loyal (and smart) and handling it well, and I felt a huge betrayal also. How dare this person, who we were paying very generously to care for our young daughter– how dare she use her time with my child, in my HOME, to plot out a way to screw my husband and screw up my family! It was beyond psychotic.

Suffice to say that nanny won’t be getting a reference from the Martinos. And by writing about the firing, Amurri controls the message and manages to keep the story from being leaked by the gossip sites.
