Rob Lowe Seeks Dismissal of Lawsuit

Former nanny Jessica Gibson has accused Rob Lowe of dropping his pants.

Now, the actor wants a California court to drop the lawsuit filed against him by Gibson.

Lowe is asking the court to dismiss portions of a countersuit against him by the woman who says he showed her his genitals one too many times, according to documents released yesterday.

"Each of Gibson's [accusations] is completely unfounded ... but nine of those ... are subject to immediate dismissal because she has failed ... to even allege the essential elements of a claim of relief," Lowe's attorney Larry Stein wrote.

Among the charges Stein wants to see dismissed are: unpaid overtime, meals and rest periods. Penis flashing, evidently, would still be on the table.

A court date to hear the request for dismissal is set for June 19.

Quasi Celebrity Quotes: Laura Boyce vs. Sheryl Lowe

During an emotional press conference with attorney Gloria Allred, Laura Boyce - the woman accusing Rob Lowe's wife, Sheryl of, well, many things - broke down in tears.

"I feel betrayed and hurt and extremely upset that (the Lowes) would sue me after I endured what I did in their household," Boyce said. "I never did anything to them other than give them my best efforts for their children."

That's not how Sheryl Lowe sees the situation, though:

"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."

We were gonna include these words in our new celebrity quotes section, but are Laura Boyce and Sheryl Lowe really celebrities? Discuss!

Face-Off: Which Celebrity Had the Worst Week?

Paula Abdul. Rob Lowe. Roger Clemens. Miley Cyrus. Plenty of celebs had difficult weeks, and that's the subject of today's Face-Off. Your comments and opinions are encouraged as The Hollywood Gossip staff members debate ...

WHICH CELEBRITY HAD THE WORST WEEK?

ROB & SHERYL LOWE by mischalova

There's an old saying in the world of celebrity gossip: Pose naked, make a buck. Cheat on your wife, you're still in luck. But discuss your children's penises with your nanny, and you're f*%ked.

As Keeley Hazell and Bill Clinton prove, respectively, the first two parts of this adage ring true. Now, sadly, Sheryl Lowe will find out the veracity of the third sentence.

For while some may believe that Miley Cyrus had an awful week, since when does getting naked have negative repercussions on a beautiful girl?

And while others may think Roger Clemens should be the most ashamed celebrity this week, he's probably happy to be in the news for non steroids-related issues.

But Laura Boyce says Mrs. Rob Lowe spoke of her children's genitals, inquired about the size of Dale Davis' schlong and laughed about her husband's broken cock rings. You recover from one of those things, two at most.

We can't see Sheryl Lowe coming back from all three.

Laura Boyce Lawsuit Denounced by Rob, Sheryl Lowe Attorney

Larry Stein - the lawyer for Rob and Sheryl Lowe - issued a statement Wednesday denouncing the lawsuit filed by nanny Laura Boyce. (We don't know, Hillary Clinton, if he also rejected it.)

Stein lashed out at Boyce's attorney Gloria Allred, who also represents Jessica Gibson, the other nanny accusing the actor and his wife of sexual misconduct:

"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.

  • Once saying "laughingly that her husband's (Rob) cockrings were broken," allegedly showing them to Boyce.
  • Telling Boyce about her sex life with Rob.

Jeez. And we thought Lindsay Lohan was dirty.

Former Co-Stars Think Highly of Rob Lowe

It's been years since Aaron Sorkin penned the words that came out of Rob Lowe's mouth on The West Wing, but the creator of that classic series has still rushed to the defense of the actor in light of recent allegations laid on him by Jessica Gibson.

"I've only known him to be a gentleman who cares first and most for his family," Sorkin told People, expressing shock over any penis exposing accusations leveled by Gibson.

In an e-mail, Sorkin added: "I've worked with Rob twice â€" for three years on The West Wing and for another six months when he starred in the [London] West End revival of A Few Good Men."

Fellow actor Dulé Hill, who starred alonside Lowe on the Sorkin drama, said: "I've known him strictly as a family man. What comes first is his children and his wife. That's always been his focus."

Do you think Rob Lowe showed Jessica Gibson his flaccid penis? What about an erect version?

Employees Say Jessica Gibson Sinks to New Lowe

In actuality, current and former employees of Rob Lowe weren't nearly as creative in their defense of him as The Hollywood Gossip staff was in the headline above.

Nevertheless, they have spoken to People Magazine about the sexual harassment claims made by Lowe's former nanny, Jessica Gibson.

Carol Andrade, Lowe's estate manager, defended the actor in a written declaration given to Lowe's legal team. It reads:

"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."

Seen here at the premiere for Thank You for Smoking, Rob Lowe and wife Sheryl are saying "Thank you for sucking!" to former employee Jessica Gibson.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Dynof, president of tremendously-named Lowe Profile, a company owned by Lowe, similarly stated that she'd never witnessed any questionable behavior by her employer.

"[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 said.

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

More Details from the Jessica Gibson Lawsuit

Rob Lowe starred on The West Wing. According to former nanny Jessica Gibson, though, this actor belonged on The West Sch-wing!

Abysmal Wayne's World jokes aside, more lewd details are now emerging from the lawsuit Gibson has filed against her former employer.

Based on documents TMZ has uncovered, Lowe is accused of repeatedly exposing his "flaccid penis" and his "erect penis" to Gibson; repeatedly asking her "to touch his penis;" often masturbating in front of her; and showing her pornographic photos on her computer.

And that's merely Rob!

Gibson also alleges that Sheryl Lowe walked around naked -"completely exposing herself" - and made "numerous sexually vulgar comments about male genitalia," while talking far too openly about her sex life with her husband.

Overall, Jessica is suing the Lowes for sexual assault and battery, sexual harassment, retaliation, unpaid off-the-clock work, overtime wages and unpaid meal periods. She's asking for damages in excess of $50,000.

So... which side do you believe? Jessica Gibson or Rob Lowe?

Jessica Gibson Accuses Rob Lowe of Sexual Battery

Former Rob Lowe nanny Jessica Gibson appeared on the Today show this morning. Through her fame-whore lawyer, Gloria Allred, Gibson accused the actor of sexual battery, along with a number of other acts.

Gibson said she never blackmailed Lowe to the tune of $1.5 million (as he claims) and never called the police to report the alleged battery during her seven-year stint with the Lowes because she "loved the children, and I needed the job."

Rob Lowe Pic

According to Jessica Gibson's lawsuit, Rob Lowe repeatedly exposed himself and inappropriately touched himself and his former nanny.

The documents go on to say Lowe "placed his hand inside Gibson's pants."

How will this case play out? It's hard to say, states Patrick Fraioli, an L.A. employment attorney, given the nature of the charges.

"This is a classic he said/she said dispute," said Fraioli.

"If Rob Lowe is without fault, he's got reason to fight to the bitter end â€" but in a trial, both sides will likely be dragged through the mud."

Rob Lowe is smiling now. But Jessica Gibson's accusations are no laughing matter.

Report: Jessica Gibson Had Rob Lowe, Wants Money

Jessica Gibson, one of the ex-employees making sordid allegations against Rob Lowe and his wife, is in this lawsuit to win it.

According to TMZ, Gibson - a former nanny of Lowe's who claims she had an affair with the actor - has hired celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred to represent her. Lowe has claimed that Gibson tried to extort him to the tune of $1.5 million in exchange for keeping quiet about their affair.

Rob Lowe Pic

Rob Lowe is known to movie fans for Thank You For Smoking and televisions fans for The West Wing.

While Gibson and two other former employees demand money from Lowe, he's countered with a suit that says he's the victim of an extortion plot and that the three employees have engaged in a variety of misdeeds, including sex on his bed while he and his wife were gone.

Oddly, none of the employees are Lindsay Lohan.

We'll keep you posted on this strange story as it develops.
