LMAO...yeah they should sit down with me to set the record straight: . . . . . . Wednesday December 1, 8:22 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Entertainment Tonight Sylvester Stallone's Wife, Jennifer Flavin Comes to ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT To Set the Record Straight About How the Stallones Treated Their House Staff ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT EXCLUSIVE LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- In an exclusive interview, Jennifer Flavin sits down with ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT's Jann Carl in Los Angeles to set the record straight about how the Stallones treated their house staff. A million dollar lawsuit was filed by Stallone's former employees for being fired from their jobs at the star's Miami mansion. NOTE: THIS INTERVIEW WILL AIR ON ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2 (SYNDICATED, CHECK LOCAL LISTINGS). Flavin: ''I don't understand... It's just baffling to me... I just can't believe that people can say things like this... they're so untrue.'' ''We've never had any complaints about staff.'' Jann: Did you ever tell the workers that if Sylvester came in the room they had to back out and vanish or that they could not look him in the eye? Flavin: ''No. Absolutely not.'' Jann: Did you tell them they had to bring in their own food and water and not to eat any of your food? Flavin: ''No. We actually gave them their own brand new guest house with a full kitchen and tables.'' Jann: What is it like when Sly is home? Flavin: ''He is always joking with them. And a lot of times our staff brings their kids over. He was helping them write papers for school... everyone loves Sly. We don't have a huge staff... I always treat people with the utmost respect and he does the same.'' Carl: The workers have accused you of being angry, cursing at them for talking to your mother-in-law. Flavin: ''I can't tell someone not to talk to somebody, or for Sly's mother not to talk to somebody. That's not my place.'' Carl: You explained that the (staff) were temporary. Why were they let go early? Flavin: ''The chef that they brought in was actually drinking, I couldn't even count how many beers. I found beer bottles in the maid's room, I found beer bottles up in the cabinets. He was drinking and drinking all of our beer. And I don't drink beer at all and neither does my husband.'' Flavin tells how Maria, who also worked for the Stallone's had to stand-in as the cook. ''That ended up being a disaster... in one instance I found her up in my husband's bathroom... she was actually weighing the roast on my husband's bathroom scale. She was actually taking a baby's thermometer and actually seeing if the food was done by putting the thermometer in the food.'' ''Those are just a few of the things they were doing in the household and my husband and I, after six nights of this chaos... we just went you know what... it's our friends and our family -- we don't care if we have people. We'll just all do it together. We let them go after six days and we did it ourselves and we had a great time.'' ''I paid them very well for six days. I think I paid them $14,000. I think I paid the housekeepers $20 an hour each and I paid the chef $30-$35 and the assistant $20-$25 an hour. That's being paid very very well. That was it, we haven't heard from them since. Now four years later they're coming after us -- saying all of these terrible terrible things.'' ''It's hurt me, I've been upset, I couldn't sleep.'' ''People that work with me, you ask them. I am so into them and their children and their families and I would do anything for them. So this is completely untrue. This is devastating.'' SOURCE: Entertainment
