Waffle House chairman Joe Rogers Jr.'s wife testified Tuesday that their housekeeper's job performance began to deteriorate a year before she made a secret sex tape with her boss.

Fran Rogers said that, by April 2012, Mye Brindle was shorting her hours, spent much of her time on her computer and was shirking duties. Rogers said that whenever she discussed her job performance with Brindle, she would get better for a while, but it never lasted.

By 2012, Rogers said she began raising questions about Brindle's expense reports and that Brindle began asking for advances even as her job performance continued to slide. She soon discovered that Brindle was having financial difficulties.
