Geri Halliwell testified in court yesterday against nanny, Jasmine Schmidt, accused of abusing her baby daughter Bluebell, Heat Magazine is reporting.
Halliwell claims the German nurse Jasmine Schmidt abused then two month old Bluebell in August 2006 during a weekend break in the countryside, leaving visible marks on the baby’s head and bruises on her arms.
“Bluebell was quite hysterical, crying, really angry crying,” an emotional Geri said on the stand. “[Schmidt] put her hands across the doorway almost blocking me going in. She was quite big and I stopped. Then she said, ‘Leave it, I will swaddle her’. I felt she was trying to take care of me because I would get a good night’s sleep so I said OK and left it there.”
Geri went on to say “I called my doctor, but then something inside me felt funny towards Jasmine because of her remarks,” said Geri. “I went to my bedroom and closed the door because I felt quite frightened of her. I was scared of her as we were in the middle of nowhere.”
And this isn’t the first time the nanny has been accused of hurting a child. In 2003 she was accused of abusing another boy.
We will find out in three weeks whether the nanny is charged. If this is found to be the case, love muffins, let’s hope they get her off the streets as soon as possible.
