Former Kardashian nanny Leah Barrs broke her silence about the scandal that broke out on Million Dollar Nannies once news spread that she slept with the dad of a child she worked with.
“I was young — I was 22 at the time,” Leah told People on Monday, June 22. “And I shouldn’t have done that.”
Leah clarified that the father was a “friend” before he hired her to be his nanny. She also maintained that the unnamed man was single when they slept together, adding, “I was working for him that night, so I shouldn’t have crossed that line.”
Despite having some “regret” about the situation, Leah was glad she learned from the mistake.
“But I’m not that person today,” she noted. “[Now], he’s happily married. Pack it up.”
Million Dollar Nannies, which is streaming now on Hulu, follows a young group of elite nannies as they head to Ibiza to launch a new agency.
“They’re promised VIP families, life-changing money, and a shot at something bigger than any of them could build alone,” the official synopsis reads. “But fierce competition, personal drama, and a scandal from the past threaten to derail the dream before the summer sets.”
While Leah brought the rest of the cast together, it didn’t take long for many of them to turn on her. The rest of the season questioned whether Leah could still remain the face of the agency she created amid various friendship feuds.
“At first, when I’m finding out about it, it was more so finding out the details and, like, trying not to jump to conclusions,” her costar Mitchell Bienvenue exclusively told Us Weekly about his initial reaction on screen. “There was a lot of not knowing because we had just met Leah and there was not wanting to just judge without knowing anything.”
Mitchell recalled wanting to know the whole story first.
“It was more so about gathering all the information and hearing Leah speak,” he noted. “Then it was about coming up with an actual plan to not allow it to ruin what we’re trying to do in creating a nanny agency.”
Leah’s confession ultimately does affect the group once word spreads. For Mitchell’s fiancée, Taylor Hayward, it was hard to know who to trust in the situation after a client spilled the beans to the rest of the island.
“Obviously, I was shocked at first. I didn’t hear it from Leah herself, so obviously, I wanted to know for sure,” she told Us. “If he was single or if he was married and all of that. So I didn’t know any details.”
Taylor defended her decision, saying, “I got super, super close with [my boss] and I never really had any of the girls by my side the whole time. I kind of felt alone, and she was somebody that I trusted with everything. I told her because I just felt comfortable and that was like one thing [I regret].”
Million Dollar Nannies is currently streaming on Hulu.
