Rob Lowe In Deep Nanny Scandal


Rob Lowe, currently on ABC's Brothers and Sisters, is under heavy fire these days from either some very bitter nannies , or some very mistreated nannies under his employ. Now a second lawsuit has been filed against Rob Lowe by another nanny,Laura Boyce. Boyce filed a lawsuit Wednesday also alleging wrongful termination, among other things.

Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents both ex- nannies in their lawsuits against Lowe and his wife, claims the nannies are telling the truth and that sexual abuse did occur. The Lowes are denying the accusations wholeheartedly.

Lowe, 44, and his wife Sheryl, 46, tried to act preemptively by filing lawsuits against Boyce and two other ex-employees on April 7. They claim they're the victims of an attempted $1.5 million extortion scheme, led by their former nanny, Jessica Gibson, 24.

A week later, Gibson filed a counter suit, alleging the actor repeatedly exposed himself and inappropriately touched her. Gibson worked for the couple off and on for seven years, having voluntarily quit twice, according to the Lowes.

Ack. I hope the allegations are not true. I guess time and depositions will tell.
