Michael Gandolfini, son of The Sopranos’ James Gandolfini, is super proud of his father’s career. How do we know? Because he asked his housekeeper to meticulously clean his Sopranos box set. Beyond utilizing Michael’s specific instructions and high-quality cleaning ingredients, the housekeeper also had to wait for her employer to inspect her work before she was allowed to return home.
The job sounds completely annoying. However, it’s also the result of a proud son looking after his father’s legacy. How could we fault him for that?
J-Lo Definitely Pays Low
Despite her massive success, Jennifer Lopez isn’t known for being a generous employer. In fact, she pays her housekeepers far less than the standard rate but demands a high level of service that keeps her home looking spotless.
Housekeepers have claimed that J-Lo’s past struggles really affected her money mentality. As someone who had to fight her way to the top, she now believes everyone should have to struggle before they’re successful. It’s an interesting idea, but you can’t expect much loyalty or commitment from employees who aren’t making much money.
Gladys Knight Really Believes in Feng Shui
While some employers don’t acknowledge their demanding ways, Gladys Knight knows she’s very particular. The singer insists that everything in her music studio aligns with the guidelines of Feng Shui, a job that’s left up to her housekeeper.
In interviews, Gladys admits that she attributes her musical success to her clean, free-flowing studio. With over 60 years as a thriving artist, Gladys must be doing something right. If we Feng Shui our home will we be as successful as she is?
Victor Oladipo Is Very Sensitive to Scent
Indiana Pacers point guard Victor Oladipo doesn’t expect too much from his housekeeper. To hear her tell the story, however, her former employer was basically a tyrant. Why? Because he asked her to clean his house again.
While at dinner with a friend, the housekeeper told her companion that Victor came home from a game, didn’t like the state of his house, and asked her to clean it again. Apparently, the basketball player expects a certain scent from his surroundings. While re-doing your work is annoying, it’s far from the worst thing a housekeeper can be asked to do.
Ozuna Doesn’t Like to Be Questioned
Ozuna doesn’t like a nosy employee. Unfortunately, the reggaeton singer’s former housekeeper had to learn that lesson the hard way. After discovering that Ozuna was storing money, the housekeeper questioned his business methods. Unsurprisingly, she was fired for her prying inquiry.
It’s likely Ozuna’s housekeeper was simply trying to be a responsible citizen. However, taking her fears to Ozuna himself wasn’t the smartest move. Pro tip: If you think your employer is involved in some shady money dealings, take it to the authorities instead of coming right out and asking them about it.
