IT'S APPARENTLY going to take more than a few anger-management classes to slow down the millionaire Main Line nanny-boss-from-hell.
Late Sunday, less than three months after banking heiress Susan Tabas Tepper was sentenced to probation and fined for hitting a nanny with a bag of carrots and beating the woman up, police again were called to her Villanova mansion.
Now, the 44-year-old socialite is accused of assaulting a second nanny - allegedly scratching the side of her face and shoving the woman to the ground when she tried to leave the estate house on Eagle Farm Road.
What's more, Montgomery County authorities said in an affidavit that when the nanny's 9-year-old daughter, who was present, tried to intervene to protect her mom, Tepper shoved her to the ground and called the little girl a "bitch."
This time around, Tepper's alleged antics have placed her in a different kind of big house, the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Eagleville. Authorities ordered the divorced mother of four sent there because she is accused of violating her probation from the first incident.
Montgomery County D.A. Bruce Castor said Tepper's arrest on charges similar to those from last year is "a pretty serious matter." He added that prosecutors will seek to have her probation revoked because of the new charges.
Tepper's lawyer, Marc Robert Steinberg, said his client's children are 13, 10, 7, and 2. One of the children has cancer and Tepper is "very involved" with the child's treatment, Steinberg said. He declined to say which child is sick.
Tepper was charged with two counts of simple assault and harassment of her nanny, Urszula Kordzior, and her nanny's daughter, in the incident that took place shortly before 11 p.m. Sunday.
Jail is quite a comedown for the former president of the Philadelphia Polo Club. Tepper is the daughter of the late Daniel Tabas, who was the chairman of Royal Bank and a restaurateur. Her Main Line estate is where she has hosted fundraising events for the Curtis Institute of Music and the Pennsylvania Hospital Auxiliary.
The late Tabas' daughter was not so well-known to the general public until last May, when she reportedly threw a fit over a messy refrigerator and allegedly roughed up Xiomara Salinas, her Venezuelan-born housekeeper and nanny.
According to the criminal complaint in the first incident, Tepper threw all the food on the floor, told the nanny to clean it up and then struck her in the chest with a bag of carrots.
The complaint said Tepper then attacked the woman by pushing her into the refrigerator and striking her on the head with a telephone handset. Tepper then pulled Salinas' hair, scratched her face, broke her glasses and tried to push her down the stairs, it said, and then yanked Salinas' pocketbook away from her and took about $800, believed to be the woman's pay for housekeeping.
Salinas told Tepper that she was going to call the police, according to the complaint, to which Tepper replied, "You're not calling anyone, bitch! I will call the police. I'm important, you're nothing. No one will believe you."
Salinas was taken to Bryn Mawr Hospital, where she was treated for her injuries and released.
In late February, Tepper was sentenced to one year of probation, $2,800 in fines, mandatory anger-management classes and community service. She had entered what is known as an Alford plea, in which she did not contest the charges but did not acknowledge guilt.
But police were called back to the mansion just 11 weeks after the sentencing.
In the affidavit of probable cause - obtained yesterday by the Daily News - the latest Tepper nanny, Kordzior, told police that Tepper had drunk several alcoholic beverages with dinner and had become angry with her when she tried to leave the residence. She then attempted to leave with the vehicle that Tepper had provided to her as a condition of her employment.
Kordzior told police that Tepper had blocked the door she was trying to exit, yelled at her, and demanded that she turn over the keys to the vehicle. The nanny was able to exit the residence, but her employer followed her, the affidavit stated. Tepper then proceeded to scratch the left side of Kordzior's face and lip with her hand and shoved her to the ground.
That's when Kordzior's daughter tried to intervene, according to the document.
D.A. Castor didn't know details about Tepper's anger-management classes, explaining that that is under the supervision of the Probation Department.
Another official who has followed Tepper's travails - John Gradel, the Montgomery County assistant D.A. who prosecuted the 2006 assault charges - said the heiress could end up behind bars a bit longer than just the one night.
"I can imagine the judge would be none too happy in learning she's been arrested for similar [offenses]," Gradel said. "I believe the initial sentence was appropriate. But now that she's violated that probation, I believe jail time is warranted."
