Watch your bony back, Naomi Campbell—there's a new maid beater in town. Main Line Philadelphia banking heiress Susan Tabas Tepper was sentenced to anger management classes and ordered to pay nearly $3,000 in fines yesterday for assaulting her Venezuelan maid with a http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/16790531.htm "target="_blank">bag of carrots.
Tepper, a "deeply tanned" hostess and former president of the Philadelphia Polo Club, assaulted Xiomara Salinas with the vegetables after coming home to a messy fridge last May. She then tried to push the maid down a set of stairs and stole $800 in cash from her wallet.
With her inventive use of pointy vegetables, Tabas Tepper joins Florida-based Saudi Princess Buniah al-Saud (who doled out beatings sans accessories, but also went the stair route) and Campbell herself in the Hired Help Abusers Hall of Fame. In related news, everyone's favorite unstable supermodel (weapon of choice: Swarovski-encrusted Blackberry) is looking for a new assistant. Lack of dignity a plus!
