Sharon Stone to face trial for racist abuse Ms. Castillo was never fired, and as of today is still covered by health insurance an employee of Ms Stone. Her claim that she was supposedly wrongfully terminated is absurd, just like the rest of the lawsuit's fabricated and baseless allegations. It adds: "We are confident that Ms Stone will prevail in this meritless case, and once that occurs, she intends to pursue affirmative claims for malicious prosecution against those responsible for filing and prosecuting this specious lawsuit." Ms Elemen's allegations, originally filed last year and similarly dismissed by Ms Stone at the time as an "absurd" attempt by her former nanny to "cash in," will be aired at a trial now scheduled to start on July 30, after Judge Mary Strobel determined that lawyers had provided sufficient evidence to support the allegations. "We're pleased that the judge recognised that the plaintiff's claims should proceed," said Ms Elemen's lawyer, Solomon Gresen, following Friday's ruling. Ms Elemen was hired in October 2006 and later became head nanny, helping to care for Ms Stone's three adopted children - Roan, Laird and Quinn - two of whom she had adopted since her 2004 divorce from her second husband, journalist Phil Bronstein. The nanny travelled the world with her celebrity employer but, from August 2010 until she was fired in early 2011, found herself the target of cruel taunts related to her Filipino ethnicity and heritage, according to her lawsuit. "These statements included, without limitation, comments about Plaintiff's Filipino accent (ie Plaintiff was instructed to refrain from speaking to the children because Defendant did not want them to 'talk like you,') comments about Filipino food, and comments which equated being Filipino with being stupid," the court papers continue. Ms Stone, who is a convert to Tibetan Buddhism and an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church - an independent religion that espouses freedom of worship - "was repeatedly verbally dismissive of Plaintiff's deeply held religious beliefs," the lawsuit adds, claiming that she criticised her live-in nanny for frequently attending church and, on one occasion, forbade her from reading the Bible in her room. Ms Elemen claims that she was fired in February 2011 after Ms Stone accused her of "stealing" for having accepted overtime pay for periods when she had been required to travel with the children and work holidays. The actress demanded that the nanny give the money back, it is alleged. Ms Stone had sought to have the case thrown out, arguing in court that her various comments did not amount to harassment and had been filed too late "All we have is that Ms Stone made comments about Filipino food, Filipino accents," her lawyer, Daniel Gutenplan, complained.
