        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So-called &#8220;King of Bachata&#8221; Romeo Santos acted more like a dictator when it came to child care, according to a lawsuit brought by his frazzled former nanny, who says he worked her into the ground without paying her a dime of overtime.</p><p>Marlene Jean-Louise says she regularly worked around 144 hours a week caring for the 39-year-old Latin superstar’s newborn son from March 2019 to March 2020 &#8212; but she was still only ever paid a flat rate of $350 per day, a Brooklyn Supreme Court lawsuit alleges.</p><p>&#8220;Notwithstanding Santos’ status as an international music star worth millions of dollars, defendants failed to pay [Jean-Louise] overtime,” the court papers from Tuesday charge.</p><p>Jean-Louise “developed a close bond” with the now-17-month-old boy, sleeping in his bedroom every night in the Bronx-native singer’s Nyack home, the court papers say.</p><p>But the Brooklyn nanny — who is in her mid-50s — never got more than five hours of uninterrupted sleep a night, nor breaks for meals, the suit alleges.</p><p>Jean-Louise “was required to be on-call 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for the entirety of her employment,” the court documents claim.</p><p>Jean-Louise&#8217;s lawyer, Jon Bell, said that his client was fired in March because Santos&#8217; girlfriend and baby mama Francelys Infante, 35, didn&#8217;t get along with Jean-Louise.</p><p>&#8220;It is unfortunate that a musician of his caliber and financial resources would take advantage of a loving and caring nanny that he entrusts with his son,&#8221; Bell said.</p><p>Jean-Louise is suing infante, Santos — whose given name is Anthony Santos — and his company Palabras de Romeo Entertainment, Inc for back pay and other unspecified damages.</p><p>Santos could not immediately be reached for comment.</p><p>Palabras de Romeo Entertainment and Infante separately did not immediately return requests for comment.</p>]]></content:encoded>
