Million Dollar Nannies shocked viewers when the show introduced a scandal featuring a nanny who slept with the dad of a child she was watching.
During the Hulu series, Leah Barrs, an ex-nanny for the Kardashian-Jenner family, revealed she had previously hooked up with a father who hired her to look after his child. This sent shockwaves through her nanny friend group, who was worried how the revelation would affect their careers in Ibiza.
“At first, when I’m finding out about it, it was more so finding out the details and like trying not to jump to conclusions,” Mitchell Bienvenue exclusively told Us Weekly about his initial reaction. “There was a lot of not knowing because we had just met Leah and there was not wanting to just judge without knowing anything.”
Mitchell recalled wanting to know the whole story first.
“It was more so about gathering all the information and hearing Leah speak,” he noted. “Then it was about coming up with an actual plan to not allow it to ruin what we’re trying to do in creating a nanny agency.”
Million Dollar Nannies, which is streaming now on Hulu, follows a young group of elite nannies as they head to Ibiza to launch an agency built for nannies.
“They’re promised VIP families, life-changing money, and a shot at something bigger than any of them could build alone,” read the official synopsis. “But fierce competition, personal drama, and a scandal from the past threaten to derail the dream before the summer sets.”
Leah’s confessional ultimately does affect the group once word spreads. For his fiancée, Taylor Hayward, it was hard to know who to trust in the situation after a client spilled the beans to the rest of the island.
“Obviously I was shocked at first. I didn’t hear it from Leah herself so obviously I wanted to know for sure,” she told Us. “If he was single or if he was married and all of that. So I didn’t know any details.”
Taylor defended her decision, saying, “I got super, super close with [my boss] and I never really had any of the girls by my side the whole time. I kind of felt alone, and she was somebody that I trusted with everything. I told her because I just felt comfortable and that was like one thing [I regret].”
While some of the drama was wrapped up by the end of the season, the pair promised more had unfolded behind the scenes.
“Things ended in a little bit of a rocky place in certain situations amongst us. There’s definitely tight friend groups within all eight of us,” Mitchell hinted. “Now, it’s been interesting to see new friendships form and we all stay relatively close. But I think there’s definitely stronger friend groups amongst the overall cast than others.”
He continued: “There’s a lot of things that are still to be spoken about and there’s a lot of things that can still find its way of clearing the air.”
Million Dollar Nannies is streaming on Hulu now.
