Rob Lowe's nanny sues for sexual harassment

We all know by now that Rob Lowe and his wife Sheryl have come out swinging against former nanny Jessica Gibson, who they claim was falsely accusing him of misconduct of the sexual sort and allegedly tried to extort $1.5 million from the couple with a list of "false terribles." At least that's what the Lowes say. They sued Gibson for defamation, emotional distress and breaking a confidentiality agreement.

Gibson, 24, and her powerhouse lawyer Gloria Allred hit up the Today show to talk about the allegations (see video above). Gibson has counterfiled a lawsuit saying the 44-year-old "placed his hand" inside her pants several times in the last three years, groping her glutes without her consent. Wife Sheryl also had a habit of walking around the house naked, making nasty comments about the couple's sex life, the suit says. So why not just run for it?

"I love the children. I needed the job," Gibson told Meredith Viera. "I thought it would get better, and I was scared." That's about all Jess said, though, as Allred was in full shark mode and barely let her say a word. It'll be an interesting court case, to be sure, but don't forget the Lowes have sued two other household workers, as well.

no women lets a man put his hands down her pants once let alone 3 times if she didnt want him to. and what was she scared of? that he might stop if she asked him too, if he did it at all.
