May 14 2009Rob Lowe's having a good week. Or a pricey one.
Rob Lowe is apparently cleaning up this week because he also ended the legal feud with his other former nanny, Laura Boyce, who claimed Sheryl Lowe told her she's always sick because she gives blowjobs to "n-ggers." You just read that. People reports:
Lowe, 45, had sued Boyce in April 2008 for defamation and violating her confidentiality agreement, while Boyce alleged sexual harassment by his wife, Sheryl, accusing the actor's wife of using racial and sexual epithets during her seven-month employment with the Lowes.
Sheryl Lowe denied any wrongdoing, and multiple witnesses provided sworn statements that it was Boyce who frequently used the "n" word in conversation.
In both cases, neither side would disclose if a settlement took place, but let's assume the Lowes will stick to taking care of their children the old-fashioned way: Paying illegal immigrants under the table.
May 14 2009Rob Lowe shuts up one nanny, one more to go
Remember last year when Rob Lowe's nanny Jessica Gibson decided to go on a media blitzkrieg and claim he's a masturbating fool? Well, she's dismissed her lawsuit which just leaves the other nanny who claims his wife Sheryl is a racist bag of sexual harassment. But, honestly, who isn't? People reports:
The war between Rob Lowe and one of his former nannies, Jessica Gibson, has ended, with both sides requesting their lawsuits be dismissed, court records show.
It's unknown if a financial settlement was involved. Lawyers for both sides had no comment.
Lowe, 45, preemptively sued Gibson in Santa Barbara County Superior Court in April 2008, alleging she was trying to blackmail him and his family unless he paid her $1.5 million. Within days, Gibson filed a sexual harassment suit against Lowe and his wife, Sheryl, claiming he groped and exposed himself to her over her seven-year employment with the Lowes.
Here's what I don't understand: When did sexual harassment become a crime in this country? I mean, men make more money than woman and therefore deserve a little-- Why is our entire legal department running towards me and yelling "Stop!"? Is this because our receptionist now owns the company after I asked her on a date? In my pants? I didn't feel like driving to Olive Garden. Sue me. -- Okay, maybe I should stop saying things like that.

Jul 2 2008Rob Lowe's wife seems really awesome to work for - if you're in the Klan
The Lowe family seems fantastic to work for. In their ongoing legal battle with former nannies accusing them of everything from unpaid wages to flagrant masturbation, new accusations have arisen. Another ex-nanny, Laura Boyce, is claiming Sheryl Lowe made racially slurred accusations when she called in sick. Sheryl, fancying herself a doctor, issued her own diagnosis revolving around fellatio and minorities. Huh. Missed that episode of House. TMZ reports:
A former Lowe nanny has filed new legal papers, reiterating her most shocking claim -- that when she tried to call in sick to work one day, Sheryl Lowe yelled the reason for her illness was "she got strep throat from sucking n****r d**k. I mean black d**k."
"At the time," Boyce says, "I was dating an African-American man."
Well, these accusations prove one thing: Sheryl Lowe is a frequent commenter on this site! Ha! I kid. (Maybe.) Anyway, I love how Sheryl tries to smooth things over by saying "I mean black dick" after dropping the N-word. Because that softens the blow of accusing an entire race of carrying disease in their wangs. That's like lighting someone completely on fire then saying "Shit, my bad. Have a wetnap."
Jun 30 2008Rob Lowe's ex-nanny is 'allegedly' a giant crazy whore
A new chapter has begun in the Rob Lowe sex scandal that everyone forgot about. James Maclear, a former chef for the Lowe's, filed a declaration Friday that the ex-nanny accusing Rob of sexual harassment might be a cock-crazy psycho. Legally speaking. TMZ reports:
James Maclear says he worked for the Lowes as a chef from June to December 2005. In that time, he claims Jessica Gibson had an "overtly flirtatious manner." He says within hours of meeting her she "changed into hot pants and was laying on the kitchen floor with her legs open in a very suggestive manner."
He also says Gibson aggressively pursued him -- on several occasions telling him "she was very horny" -- even though he told her he had a girlfriend. He says once at a friend's birthday party Gibson paraded around a pizza joint singing the Pussycat Dolls' "Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me" directly to his girlfriend.
James Maclear also claims that he never saw Rob flirt with Jessica and that she'd been reported to her supervisor for her "constant sexual innuendo." Intriguing. There's only one way to get to the bottom of this: I'll have sex with this so-called nanny which will allow me to prove if she was molested by Rob Lowe. I think. The important thing is I'll lose my virginity. Ha ha, I kid. I lost it weeks ago to The Geekologie Writer's mom. Best bumper car ride EVER.

May 1 2008Rob Lowe's wife sued for sexual harassment
There's something sweet about a couple that share common interests. In Rob and Sheryl Lowe's case, it's getting sued for sexual harassment. Aww, now that's good marriage-ing. While Rob is facing allegations of his own, Sheryl just got nailed in a lawsuit from another former nanny. Apparently Mrs. Lowe is a bit of an exhibitionist, according to People:
Laura Boyce, who worked for the couple for seven months in 2007, claims Sheryl Lowe created an "extremely sexually offensive and hostile work environment ... behaving in a ... perverted, disgusting and crude manner."
Boyce also alleges that Sheryl used the "n" word in reference to Boyce's boyfriend, who was an NBA player.
Sheryl also allegedly "walked around naked, completely exposing herself" to Boyce, asked about her boyfriend's private parts and talked about Sheryl's sex life with Rob.
I don't know what these people are complaining about. Working for the Lowes sounds AWESOME. In fact, I'd like to offer Rob and Sheryl my services. I've got no problem with nudity and, Sheryl, feel free to ask me anytime if my dong is long like Donkey Kong.*
*Editor's Note: It's itty and bitty like the Kong's pal Diddy.
Apr 17 2008Rob Lowe's ex-nanny goes on PR blitz
Rob Lowe's former nanny Jessica Gibson (above with high-powered attorney Gloria Allred) has definitely secured herself some good PR representation. Her family has been all over the media the past two days singing her praises and accusing the Lowe's of overworking Jessica. Apparently Jessica's half-sister Jamie helped Jessica land the job with the Lowe's, according to their father who spoke to People this morning:
"I'm sure [Jamie] thinks if only she could go back and change things she would. But, she can't – there's no point regretting the past," says Jim Gibson. "No one in the family wants her to think that way. What's done is done.
"She was happy to get out of there. She couldn't take it anymore. Nothing really bad happened like it did with Jessie, but Jamie was overworked and couldn't stand it," he says.
I still have my doubts about this whole thing. Especially when Jessica sits there smiling like an idiot on MSNBC and looks like she's auditioning for American Idol. But there could be some truth to this, who knows? In the meantime though, I'm hearing word that Jessica's past is about to catch up with her as she's a bit of a party girl and has a taste for older dudes. And by hearing word I mean I read it on TMZ this morning. Woodward and Bernstein, I just made you look like bitches. WHA-POW!

Apr 16 2008Rob Lowe's employees: He kept it in his pants
Rob Lowe's employees are backing up the actor's claims that nothing inappropriate occurred between him and Jessica Gibson, the former nanny who accused of him masturbating in front of her and making sexual comments during her employment. People reports:
Lowe's estate manager, Carol Andrade, defended the actor in a written declaration provided to Lowe's legal team and obtained by PEOPLE: "Jessica never told me ... that Rob ever said or did anything that she found inappropriate or offensive or that made her feel uncomfortable ... or made sexual advances toward her."
Having worked with the Lowes in other capacities off and on for about 12 years, Andrade explained that Gibson voluntarily quit her nanny position twice over the last few years, but returned to the Lowes "on good terms."
Jennifer Dynof, the president of Rob's company Lowe Profile, also backed up her boss and along with Carol is willing to testify in court:
"[In the past four years working for Rob], I have never seen him make any sexual advances toward any other woman or act inappropriately, offensively or disrespectfully toward any woman," Dynof stated.
While this seems to bolster Rob Lowe's defense, maybe these two never saw him pull out his West Wing because they're, I dunno, not that hot. Eh? Maybe? No? You're right. This is exactly why the cleaning ladies at our office have my picture on their cart with the caption "El diablo de los pantalones." Which is flattering until I get Mop N' Glo'd in the eye.
Apr 15 2008Rob Lowe's former nanny goes public
Jessica Gibson, the former 24-year-old nanny of Rob Lowe, is claiming the actor "exposed himself, touched himself and groped her several times in her lawsuit, filed yesterday in Santa Barbara," according to TMZ:
The suit also alleges that the actor grabbed her butt without her consent in December 2007, around the time she quit working for the Lowes.
Jessica appeared on The Today Show this morning and you guys can scope out the video above. I find both sides of the story to be suspicious. Rob Lowe with his preemptive strike in the media and Jessica Gibson continuing to return to work for the Lowe's after quitting and her resignation texts. Though somewhere in the middle is probably the truth which is that Rob Lowe touched himself and invited the nanny to watch - along with the neighbors, some Shriners and his Brothers & Sisters costar Sally Field, who would've loved to stopped by, but never knows what to bring to these things. A deli tray or is this more of a light dessert affair?
