Rob Lowe's Nanny Speaks Out, Claims Groping And Flashing

Last Monday actor Rob Lowe wrote an exclusive blog for Huffington Post as preemptive strike against what he described as a $1.5M blackmail attempt by a former nanny to his two sons. He has since filed a lawsuit against her and two other members of his household staff. Tuesday that nanny, Jessica Gibson, appeared on Today with her attorney Gloria Allred. She claims she was sexually harassed and assaulted but kept working because she needed the job. (SCROLL FOR VIDEO & HER COUNTERSUIT)

Jessica Gibson told Today:

"I love the children, I needed the job, and I always thought it would get better -- and I was scared," Gibson told TODAY's Meredith Vieira Tuesday, one day after she filed a countersuit against the actor and his makeup artist wife, Sheryl Berkoff.

"A lot of people in her position are scared to go against someone who is rich and powerful and a famous celebrity such as Rob Lowe," added Gibson's attorney, Gloria Allred...

In court documents filed Monday, Gibson alleges: "On several occasions beginning in or about September 2005 and ending in or about January 2008, without consent, Cross Defendant Rob Lowe placed his hand inside Gibson's pants in order to touch her crotch. In or about December 2007, Cross Defendant Lowe grabbed Gibson's buttocks without consent."

Meanwhile, TMZ has Rob Lowe's nanny Jessica Gibson's countersuit:

In her suit, Gibson claims Lowe not only groped her, he repeatedly exposed his "flaccid penis" and his "erect penis" to her, repeatedly asked her "to touch his penis," repeatedly masturbated in front of her, showed her pornographic images on his computer, asked her to give him a massage and tell him dirty stories ... and that's just Rob!

She then says Rob's wife Sheryl walked around naked --"completely exposing herself" -- made "numerous sexually vulgar comments about male genitalia," "would talk about her sex life" with Rob and said that "she would never have a boyfriend because only a married man would want to f*** her."

Meanwhile, several of Lowe's other employees have come to Lowe's defense:

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."

...
In another declaration, Jennifer Dynof, president of Lowe Profile, a company owned by Lowe, also stated that she'd never witnessed any questionable behavior by Lowe.

"[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.

Both employees added they would testify in court if need be.

[ang4ever]

yawn !

[KOisGod]

I thing this Gloria Allred redefines the term WHORE. IF she truly cared about defending the downtrodden, she'd work for the DA's office.

As for the chick - come on - GOLD DIGGER much?

Take that pretty face and get a job in Hollywood, I hear you can get paid for looking at dick.

[hip dibler]

guilty or innocent, huffpo should let this grrrl have her own column so she can proclaim her innocence.



fair is fair!



at least that's what billie jean said. and she was invincible.

[SanityNow]

So then, wipe that smile off your face!

[Matango]

I've been in Mr. Lowe's position before. One minute you're checking out Bangbus on the web, spanking the monkey, then suddenly the maid comes in. Then without warning, the air is filled with 1970's funk guitar and she drops to her knees.

Wait....no...that was a movie I saw once.

[nirak]

When nothing else stick, charge him for groping and flashing her! ROFL
Wishful thinking on her part!

[speakyourmind]

OK lying girl, if my boss ever showed his penis or masterbated in front of me even one time, I would never walk into that house again. But I'm sure you just needed the job, as if there are no other jobs in all of Los Angeles. Yeah right, you're completely believable. "Several" times? Sorry, no credibility whatsoever.

[rzan]

And you think Rob Lowe has credibility? His romp with a 16-year-old girl in the sleaziest imaginable way has been caught on tape. He is a total creep.

[SmootyBooty]

"Caught?" on tape? He taped himself...

[Warmglobe]

Yeah she is so shocked and upset that she is all over the TV...if her employer was a nobody we wouldn't hear a thing about it would we?

[AgathaX]

If her employer was a nobody, he wouldn't have been able to launch a preemptive strike against her in HuffPo. He started this.

[leftbehind2000]

X - actly.

[HatingTheGame]

Wow, freaky-eee.

[DC8P4DCEFE]

America...­..........­....GREED rules the country which only means you are FUCKED.

Amazing how many people will sue even their own mother to make a quick buck.

Karma won't be kind to America.

[zendem1]

Wonder if Rob hired her after the 1988 convention. Maybe he liked her performance on camera.

[governor67]

Certainly not a pre-judgment on the factual merits of her case, but it is indeed tacky for her to trot these allegations out into the media.

The instant publicity reeks of her intention to inflict maximum damage on his reputation, thus lending creedance to HIS earlier claims of attempted blackmail.

[leftbehind2000]

Considering Lowe came out last week with an opening salvo against her, using HuffPost as his platform, indicates this is possibly just a response in kind.

Since these cases are frequently tried in the court of public opinion long before they make it to trial (if they ever do), those without direct media access sometimes need to use whatever means necessary to present their side of the case.

[AgathaX]

I think this comment is planted by someone close to Lowe. How else to explain accusing the victim of seeking publicity when the victimizer went public first to argue that she was a liar. Given that Lowe sought out this forum for his preemptive attack I fully expect that some of the comments here are his doing as well.

[EmmaTraynor]

Oh yeah, lots of them are. And I said the same thing about some of the comments made on the original Lowe post. It was so obvious. Of course his PR flaks are here, planting crap. You bet.

[bujeeboo]

The minute a celebrity (or in this case the nanny) trot out Gloria Allred or that Gerigos guy, it's BS.

[wndrwrthg]

You are correct.

[Pookie2112]

Me thinks this chick is nothing but a lazy piece of shit looking to make a quick buck. Not only should she be beat severely about the head and shoulders but her lawyer should be smacked as well for even taking this "case."

[LawOfAttraction]

Holy crap she's actually hot...
That and the combination of Gloria Allred

Suddenly, Rob Lowe looks like he's in trouble...

[speakyourmind]

Ew! You think that's "hot"? Ew!

[speakyourmind]

Hot in a mAnn Coulter kind of way, I suppose.

Take a close look at Rob Lowe's wife.
