Liz Hurley and husband Arun Nayar have been accused of paying their Indian maid as little as £1.20 an hour.

Violet d'Souza, who is said to have been brought to Britain by Mr Nayar's family, claims she was paid in rupees for working up to 70 hours a week at the couple's Chelsea home.

She was due to take her case to an employment tribunal tomorrow but it has been dropped after she was reported to have been offered a five-figure settlement.

If anyone ever wondered whether Hurley has a conscience­,.......th­at question has just been answered. People without a conscience only love themselves.......so the only thing human about them is their looks.

I've always thought fondly of Liz and felt poorly for her during Hugh's episode in america, but if this is true I shall have to readjust my estimate of her downward. There is no excuse to justify virtual slavery.

why am I not surprised that a strike-breaking no-talent like her would do something as small as that?

Maybe the maid sucked. Also, she got to look upon Elizabeth Hurley from time to time. Thats the wage that keeps on waging.

You can't be serious!

If the maid sucked, then fire her, don't pay slave wages hoping they will move on!

Looking at a beautiful person doesn't pay the powerbill.

And these uber rich a-holes wonder why the consumer isn't spending. When are the rich going to realize that screwing the employee is equivalent with screwing the consumer?!

Remember, they are being "accused of paying maid..." There is many a slip between the spoon and the lip. When it becomes fact then there are legal remedies to that.

Maids in Nigeria are paid only $30-$50 monthly by their masters and mistresses and most of them are physically abused.

A shop assistant in Nigeria earns only $50 monthly without any fringe benefit, no medical care and no insurance.

The worst paid workers in developed countries would be kings when compared to the worst paid workers in Nigeria.

Liz Hurley and husband Arun Nayar would be angels in Nigeria, because most of the employers of maids in Nigeria as not better than devils. I know, because I have lived and worked for them.

Here's hoping you never have to work for people like that again.
While "Liz Hurley and husband Arun Nayar would be angels in Nigeria", in London they are pigs at best and criminals at worst. London is an extremely expensive place to live. Paying someone the equivalent of $2.50 an hour in London is tantamount to slavery.
