A former housekeeper for the head of the company that produces the video-game franchise “Grand Theft Auto” is suing the executive and his wife for firing her and then allegedly falsely telling her family that she stole cash and personal items from their ritzy East 67th Street co-op.
Eronilda Rodriguez, 66, of Harlem, worked for Strauss Zelnick, head of Take-Two Interactive, and wife Wendy Belzberg for eight years before she was axed in December 2012 over the allegations.
Rodriguez is now suing her former bosses in a $750,000 defamation lawsuit, claiming they wrote a letter in Portuguese to her immediate family calling her a lying thief, according to the Manhattan Supreme Court suit.
“I know that you spoke to someone [and said] that we have so much in our home that we wouldn’t notice if somebody stole from us,” the letter allegedly reads.
Belzberg declined to comment.
