BAD GOODMAN GAL
This personal shopper at Bergdorf Goodman had one favorite client: herself.
Admitted shoplifter Remi Landau apparently couldn’t resist all the high-end merchandise she lavished on her clients and was discovered swiping more than $6,000 in luxury goods from the Manhattan department store, according to court papers.
The 23-year-old from Scarsdale was allegedly caught redhanded on March 21 attempting to slip out of an employee entrance at the flagship Fifth Avenue store with a $1,880 haul.
A loss-prevention officer noticed the now-ex employee doing some shopping of her own, pulling items off of display racks and secreting the garments into a large bag, the court documents claim.
She was confronted after she tried to flit out of an employee exit, the stolen items still in her bag, according to legal papers.
Landau later conceded in writing that she’d started lifting clothing from her former workplace in June 2017 and had taken around $6,095 in the months prior to her arrest.
The young blonde copped Monday to a single charge of petit larceny, avoiding time behind bars.
According to her résumé, Landau interned at premiumcable network Epix before her gig at Bergdorf. Before that, she was a “litigation intern” at asbestos-disease personal-injury law firm Weitz & Luxenberg — where convicted former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was “of counsel” and got into trouble for steering clients to a cancer researcher in exchange for kickbacks.
When asked Monday by a judge if she’d stolen, the sticky-fingered Syracuse University graduate looked at the floor and murmured, “Yes.”
Landau originally faced felony charges of third-degree grand larceny and third-degree criminal possession of stolen property. But under the plea deal, she will avoid jail completely if she continues in an unspecified treatment program.
And if she stays out of trouble for a year, she’ll be allowed to replead down to a violation as part of the deal.
Landau — whose Facebook page shows her enjoying premium seats at a New York Rangers hockey game, lounging on a beach and on a jaunt to Barcelona — is due back in court in November.
