Rob Lowe’s wife and attorney have responded to former nanny Laura Boyce’s accusations of sexual harassment.
Sheryl’s statement is as follows:
“As a mother of two young boys, it is sickening and disgusting that Mrs. Allred and Ms. Boyce would stoop so low as to drag a child into this latest, baseless, predatory lawsuit. To falsely attack my husband is one thing, to attack me is another, but to do this to our son reveals not only their lack of character, but how far they are willing to go to play the ‘lawsuit lotto.’”
“The charges against me are lies meant to embarrass and humiliate. I find it deeply offensive the false allegation that I would use racially insensitive comments. I’m certain that my dearest and longtime friend, and godfather to my children, Marcus Allen would beg to differ with their charges. We do not see color in my household; my children do not see color. It deeply saddens me that I even have to explain this to my children.
These false allegations are made all the more painful because our family has been betrayed by a woman we welcomed into our home and treated like family. Laura Boyce was physically abused by a man with whom she was having a relationship. I had to take her to the emergency room once, and advised her that she had to be more careful about the men she dated, and that she was running with the wrong crowd. We are shocked that she has now chosen to destroy our right to peace, quiet, and privacy.”
The Lowe family attorney Larry Stein has also responded to the claims brought forth by the nanny:
“Having struck out against Rob Lowe, Gloria Allred now seeks to drag his wife and children into the fray. In response to a lawsuit against Laura Boyce by the Lowes, Ms. Allred filed a cross-complaint on behalf of Boyce, which contains false allegations, in an apparent attempt to divert the negative publicity which Allred’s client, Gibson, has universally received.”
“Although framed as a sexual harassment claim against both Sheryl and Rob Lowe, the cross-complaint alleges only words by Sheryl and never mentions any words or conduct by Rob whatsoever. The alleged statements by Sheryl are totally unrelated to, and do not provide any support for, Gibson’s claims against Rob.”
This whole case is one big clusterf*ck. The first nanny, Jennifer Gibson, I don’t like. She seems smug and in the beginning, I thought she was full of sh*t. She might still be.
However, the second nanny, although overly dramatic with the tears, her story is more believable. I’m not saying it is true, because in this world of assholes, you can’t trust anyone. Bitches can conjure up fake tears in a jiffy when there is the promise of big money. And her tears were Oscar worthy.
I think it’s pretty funny that Sheryl felt the need to call her closest Afro-American friend (Marcus Allen) and have him vouch for her. Does that really mean anything? I don’t trust Sheryl. You know that saying, “The eyes are the window to the soul”? Well, her eyes are like beetie rat eyes.
I don’t know, I honestly keep going back and forth on this one. Rob was the founding father of sex scandals though, the pioneer of sex tapes. So you know his wife has to be a freak. We’ll just have to wait this one out and see what develops.
