Eva Amurri Martino spills why her husband fired the naughty nanny

Eva Amurri Martino had to fire her daughter's nanny early in February. Then on Tuesday, her husband, Kyle Martino, had to fire the new nanny. Now she's revealing why that went down and, in her own words, it's a "CRAZY (and salacious)" story.

Kyle told Eva about the second firing while she was on her way back from a one-day business trip in New York, the actress and mom wrote Monday on her blog, Happily Eva After.

" 'Don't panic,' he told me, 'But I had to fire the Nanny this morning. Let me tell you the whole story before you freak out.' And tell me, he did — while my stomach dropped out of my body and my hairs stood up on the back of my neck."

Nanny No. 1 had been let go after an uncomfortable confrontation that Eva — Susan Sarandon's daughter — didn't go into detail about on her blog.

"The gist is that I caught her being untruthful with me in a major way," she wrote. "When I asked her some further questions and gave her the opportunity to come clean, she became defensive, insulting, and derogatory. It was absolutely shocking, and what I now realize was a viscerally defensive reaction to having been discovered in this lie."

She characterized it as "a major break up — of a relationship that I had been in for just under a year and a half. It was completely unexpected and deeply emotional, and it brought up many feelings for everyone in our family."

The firing of Nanny No. 2 seems to have kicked it up a notch, however.

"The Nanny usually arrived at 9am (and stayed until 6pm). She knew that I was arriving home on Tuesday but didn't know what time," the mother of one wrote. " An hour before she was supposed to arrive for the day, Kyle got a text message from her show up on his cell phone," Eva wrote. "It said:

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

Kyle was freaked out enough that he took their daughter to breakfast while he figured out how to handle it, his wife wrote. Then on the way home, he saw the nanny — who'd shown up for work and let herself in with her key while they were out — peeking out from the master bedroom. Having decided that the text was no mistake, he raced out to work for the day.

"He also realized in that moment that he was going to record his entire confrontation with her," Eva said. "Because he knew that clearly this chick was crazy — and who knows what she would try to make up or twist after the fact."

A transcript of that conversation follows in the post, rendered as if it were a script. Key elements: She doesn't fall over herself with embarrassment when he calls her out on the inappropriate text. He writes her a check to pay her for the day's work, then he fires her.

Amurri's lady radar was working at full strength by this point.

"Clearly, that text was not a mistake. If it had been a mistake, she would have been humiliated, so frantic to make it right (I've been there with mistaken texts, I know). That text was sent out as a missive to test the proverbial waters with my husband and give her an opportunity later, when alone, to bring up a sexy dialogue with him," she wrote, praising her husband for how he handled the situation and flipping out a bit (OK, a lot) about the idea of this woman positioning herself to do the nasty with Mr. Martino.

Insult to injury: They were now without child care again, and Daddy was headed to the East Coast for 10 days.

To give themselves ample time to hire a new full-time nanny, Eva said, they all packed up, and she and her daughter tagged along for the ride.

"So here we are: in Westchester," she wrote. "Together. Strangely, this bizarre Nanny experience brought us even closer (emotionally and geographically) than we would have been otherwise."

Of course, Amurri Martino's online audience had some opinions, including one person who thought she should look after her child instead of hiring someone to do it. So, it was public smackdown time.

What's that thing they say? You can't get between two people unless the space between them is there already? Ms. Eva Amurri Martino seems to have that locked down.
