Check it: Last week, Rob Lowe wrote a strange, guilty-sounding rant over at The Huffington Post, claiming that his former nanny of many years was out to sue him — Robe Lowe, Innocent Man — for $1.5 million dollars. He never specifies what the lawsuit is about exactly, but anyone who has seen his infamous 1980’s sex tape (i.e. people over 35) could only assume Lowe was up to his old dirty tricks. The lawsuit remained a mystery… until today.
Because today, the truth was exposed, so to speak:
Rob Lowe’s former nanny filed a lawsuit Monday claiming the actor repeatedly exposed himself and inappropriately touched her.
Jessica Gibson, 24, worked for Lowe and his wife, Sheryl, off and on for seven years, according to an 18-page document filed Monday in a Santa Barbara, Calif. court. Gibson quit on Feb. 24.
Lowe, 44, the lawsuit further alleges, “placed his hand inside Gibson’s pants” several times from about Sept. 2005 to around Jan. 2008. The actor also allegedly grabbed her buttocks without her consent around Dec. 2007, according to the filing.
Oh, boo hoo. The perma-babyfaced Rob Lowe picked you out of alllllll the nannies in America to expose himself. Let me expose the tiny violin I keep in my pants for occasions just like this. Sure, Lowe looks like he wears a full face of lady foundaysh and eyeliner, but still… he was the hottest Brat Packer, for God’s sake! What’s a little exposing here and there?
OK, so I won’t mock the fact that she might just be the luckiest Nanny in America (now, if it were Richard Mulligan’s nanny, that would be another story. RIP ps.) But in all honestly, wouldn’t it have been a good idea to quit the first time your boss put his hand down your pants in 2005? If you were really all hot and bothered about it, why not leave then?
She tries to answer that very question (albeit slowly and smirkingly) on this morning’s Today Show, video of which you can find after the jump. In a separate story, this nanny character looks exactly like the actress in Mean Girls who could tell what the weather was by grabbing her own boobs.
