THIS RICH B!TCH BUTLER GOT HIS BIG PAYBACK AFTER SHE FIRED HIM!

An ex-butler of Manhattan socialite Anne Bass has been busted on charges he held her and her boyfriend captive in 2007 and injected them with a fluid he claimed was a deadly virus.

Romanian national Emanuel Nicolescu, 32, was arraigned Thursday in federal court in Bridgeport, Conn., on charges of conspiracy to commit extortion.

He pleaded not guilty in the bizarre case stemming a home invasion at Bass' Kent, Conn., mansion on April 15, 2007.

The ex-wife of billionaire businessman Sid Bass and her boyfriend, the artist Julian Lethbridge, were blindfolded, beaten and injected with a blue liquid they were told was a deadly virus.

Federal prosecutors say that during the horrifying 12-hour ordeal, a masked Nicolescu and two cohorts, who remain at large, tried to get Bass to fork over $8.5 million in exchange for the antidote.

Bass, who received a $150 million divorce settlement from Sid Bass, refused to pay and the assailants fled empty handed.

The 68-year-old socialite's lawyer, Jessica Slippen, pleaded with federal Judge William Garfinkel to keep Nicolescu locked up, saying it was the "only way to ensure" the victims' safety.

Nicolescu worked as a butler for Bass, but was fired a few months before the home invasion.

Garfinkel rejected Nicolescu's request for $850,000 bail.
