Rob Lowe’s former Nanny claims sexual harassment

April 18, 2008

Hmmmmm, if it smells like …. it must be right?  This just isn’t adding up to me.  Rob Lowe’s nanny is claiming that while working for the Lowe family for 7 years she was sexually harassed by not only Rob Lowe but his wife Sheryl also. On April 7, the star wrote on the Huffington Post that “a former employee is demanding my wife, Sheryl, and I pay her 1.5 million dollars by the end of the week or she will accuse us both of a vicious laundry list of false terribles.” 
 

In a statement read on Tuesday’s Today show – while Gibson was being interviewed with her attorney Gloria Allred – the Lowes’ attorney, Stanton “Larry” Stein, said: “Ms. Gibson’s older sister worked for the Lowe’s for 7 years. Ms. Gibson worked for the Lowe’s on and off for 7 years. She left at least 2 times, to pursue other jobs, and returned each time asking for more hours. She sent 2 emails the day after she left, both saying she loved the Lowe’s and her leaving had nothing to do with them but her heart wasn’t into being a nanny anymore.

“This is totally inconsistent with her latest allegations,” Stein added. “An investigation of dozens of present and former employees has failed to find one single person to verify her allegations. The allegations in the complaint are simply untrue.” 

Asked why she returned to work in the household, Gibson answered, “I love the children. I needed the job. I thought it would get better, and I was scared.”  Riiigghhht!

A hearing date has yet to be set. Allred said on Today that she is “looking forward to litigation.”
