Celebrity Justice
Lowe's Accuser is a Flirting Machine!

Sources connected to the Rob Lowe case tell TMZ, one of Lowe's accusers privately told folks there was mutual flirting going on between her and Rob, but she never mentioned sexual harassment.

Sources say while Jessica Gibson, Lowe's former nanny, worked at a Santa Barbara doctor's office, she complained all right, but only about money. She told others that Lowe owed her somewhere between $30,000 and $50,000 in back wages and vacation time. But as she complained, she never mentioned that Lowe ever did anything sexually untoward.

Indeed, she often said there was a lot of flirting between herself and Lowe, but she was coy about whether anything physical ever happened.

Her friends have two words for her that repeatedly come up -- party girl! And we hear she just loves herself some older men.

16. Sounds like somebody had a possible affair or flirtation that went wrong....and then asked for money, only to be turned down FLAT! My BS meter is goin' off on this one! Having Gloria (the camera ho) Allred as her attorney doesn't help her case, IMHO.

17. First of all why do they need a nanny with a 12 and 14 year old who probably are in school for a good portion of the day. I have no respect for the lowes and their nanny, chef ect ect..what exactly does the wife do if she doesn't watch her children,cook or clean. I have a feeling this is a house with alot of secrets and I feel they just got busted so they are seriously on the defense. Their lives sound shallow and taudry and shameful. Be parents to your children. Very sad

19. I think this girl is a gold digger. She is trying to get her 15 minutes of fame. She needs to wake up.

21. Speaking from experience....I had a college student work for me and it ended the same way. She was happy as could be while she was there. Never wanted to leave loved the place. I was like a father to her. Eventually she was let go because she could get along with the other girls in the office. Guess what she sued for sexual harassment. Just by making the claim it is gulity until you prove youself innocent. Which I did after I spent about 45K paying lawyers and computer experts. These girls give the real victims a bad name. F them.

23. This "thing" is only playing to make some bucks. And may not be a fan of his but did like him calling her out.

24. Why do these famous prople hire young attractive nannies? They are only asking for trouble. These girls are looking after their children, they should be better screened. Personally, I would not want a young naiive gold digger taking care of my children. What is wrong with the wives, are they just stupid?????

25. So sad that this woman feels she has to lower herself to this level to get what she wants....whatever this is. I think the Lowe's are true victims in this case. Hope they know that the public sees it that way too. Such a sad thing for them to have to go through.
This girl needs mental help and so does her lawyer...they are just after the attention. Pathetic!

26. If Gloria Alred is not already in on this PR fiasco, then she is being majorly played...LOL...I love it.

27. Like someone said earlier--I also think he started his defense too early. Not sure this girl is completely telling the truth, but somehow celebrities are able to use their fame and spin stories to fit their liking. Unfortunately, this is a serious matter, so whoever is being deceptive should be ashamed of themselves. No one knows what went on besides those two, regardless of what people want to think they know. But in all honesty, I could see how this could happen...have you seen Rob Lowes wife? In my opinion she looks really washed up.

28. Lowe went with the Roger Clemens scorched earth denial defense...it will backfire. In a civil court, which this is, the burden of proof is much less than in a criminal case. He'll pay dearly, in money and in reputation as well as more specific dirt coming forward.

He's a confirmed sex addict. the urge can be managed and offset, but it never goes away. It hasnt left him and he's back on his power trip that got him in trouble 20 years ago with the 16 year old on tape.

he's the one with the background and history of this nonsense, not her---no matter how silly she looks on TV.
There is strangeness going on in their house...not as bad as Phil Spector, but somethings amiss.

29. Another woman with no money or social status who has brass balls!

30. Allred was on Glenn Beck. She is looking forward to deposing Rob Lowe May 19 and Sheryl Berkoff May 20.
When asked, she talked of evidence to come out in court.

It's not only sex harassment, also unpaid work, overtime, unpaid meal times and now retaliation. Jessica Gibson had an attorney prior to Lowe's pre-emptive strike. She was asking for about $50k, back pay? To call that blackmail is one thing, Lowe needs evidence. He turned the police down. The sex harassment part would have made the Lowe's decide to strike first.

I don't know what happened in that house and on vacations over seven years. Before this, Lowe reminded me of the Hogan's Hero actor with a sex addiction. He was a good father. A pleasant affable exterior. Tormented inside. One of Lowe's videos was with another man and a female, but you hear about the two females and Rob. Watch the movie Auto Focus for an idea of what it's like to wrestle with those demons.

When Lowe brought up stolen drugs that sent up a red flag. I've had that happen, it was someone who doctor shopped and when backed in a corner blamed others as having the drugs. Addicts can be very convincing. If you give them enough rope they'll hang themselves.

It would be in the Lowe's best interest to settle before May 19.
