Hollywood housekeepers tell all

Hollywood housekeepers tell all

Hoarding, cross-dressing, and a thing for lacy knickers … Stars’ domestic workers come clean about their famous employers’ scandalous secrets.

Behind the closed doors of Brangelina’s ritzy chateau, Hollywood’s golden couple secretly live like hobos.

“It’s actually pretty disgusting,” a source close to their hired help reveals. “There are always pizza boxes everywhere, food left out to spoil, hair dye on the walls – it’s gross!”

And with six kids running wild, it’s no wonder the house looks less than perfect.

Staffers complain that the older boys, Maddox, 8, and Pax, 6, often wage “toothpaste wars” with their younger sisters, Zahara, 5, and Shiloh, 3, leaving a spattered mess all over the bathroom walls, mirrors and floors.

But Angie couldn’t care less. “She’s really big on letting them express their creativity,” the source explains – and that includes free rein to draw on the wallpaper. “They colour in crayon on the walls all the time.”

Worse, while the children are wreaking havoc, Angelina zones out by indulging in her sacred daily ritual: having her bath.

“She demands that the maids draw it at a specific temperature,” notes the source. “She flips out if it isn’t perfect and she freaks if she’s disturbed.”

Brad can’t blame the mess on his kids either, because he’s the biggest slob of them all. Dirty underwear, paintbrushes, cameras and magazines – the staff is always picking up after him.

“Brad’s a pig,” says the source. “And he’s a total hoarder too.” He’s collected so many architectural books, magazines and even pricey artworks by artists like Banksy, Neo Rauch and Jim Hodges that he’s running out of space to store it all.

“Things get shoved in closets, garages and even on the floor,” an insider reveals. “He’s too lazy to go through and organise everything.”
