De Niro Maid Channels Robin Hood
Robert De Niro's ex-maid fancied herself as something of a latter-day Robin Hood, stealing from her rich employers and giving to the poor, in this case herself.
According to court documents released Tuesday, the actor's onetime housecleaner, Lucyna Turyk-Wawrynowicz, all but admitted to cops she stole valuables from De Niro's Manhattan home two months ago.
Turyk-Wawrynowicz, who is currently cleaning nothing but her jail cell, put in an appearance in New York State Supreme Court on Tuesday for a preliminary hearing.
Evidence against the 35-year-old Polish emigré was presented, including bombshell revelations that she essentially copped to her crime.
"I know I'm guilty?I feel horrible about what I've done," she reportedly gushed to New York's finest after she was confronted with the alleged theft.
However, the maid in Manhattan reportedly offered up a caveat for her sticky-finger habit.
"I only stole from people who didn't treat me with respect," Turyk-Wawrynowicz is quoted in the court documents.
And she apparently did not hold either De Niro's wife, Grace Hightower, or Candice Bergen in high regard, allegedly lifting items from both Mrs. D and the erstwhile Murphy Brown star.
But at least one star client escaped her wrath. "I didn't steal from Isabella Rossellini, because she treated me well," Turyk-Wawrynowicz told police.
Among the physical evidence prosecutors said they have against Turyk-Wawrynowicz: Hightower's $96,000 dollar earrings and a stolen suede jacket, reportedly belonging to Bergen and worth $1,000.
Turyk-Wawrynowicz was indicted by a grand jury in June, and she pleaded innocent to all charges against her late last month.
Her lawyer contends New York cops searched the house without a warrant, hence his belief the judge will deem the items inadmissible in court. He plans to file a motion seeking to suppress the evidence.
Turyk-Wawrynowicz remains in jail in lieu of bail set at $150,000 bond or $75,000 cash.
Another pretrial hearing regarding her case is set for Oct. 11.
