Celebrity Justice
Nanny Claims Rob Lowe's Wife Sexual Harasser

Posted May 1st 2008 8:05AM by TMZ Staff

Rob LoweA second nanny in the Rob Lowe case has filed a cross complaint, and this one is ugly.

Laura Boyce is not accusing Rob of sexual misdeeds, but she's throwing everything -- including the kitchen sink -- at his wife, Sheryl.

TMZ is privy to the complaint, which has been filed in L.A. County Superior Court, but not yet released. Among the allegations against Sheryl:

- Walking around naked, completely exposing herself to Boyce.

- Asking Boyce about the size of Boyce's boyfriend's penis.

- Asking questions about how she could have sex with Boyce's boyfriend, given his 7' height (he's a former NBA player).

- Using her forearm to gesture the size of Boyce's boyfriend's penis.

- Once saying "laughingly that her husband's (Rob) cockrings were broken," allegedly showing them to Boyce.

- Telling Boyce about her sex life with Rob.

- Talking about the size of her children's penises.

- After Boyce allegedly phoned to say she wasn't coming to work because she was sick, Sheryl allegedly screamed Boyce "got strep throat from sucking ni***r d**k. I mean black d**k."

There is no claim of unwanted touching or overture. There are also claims for wrongful termination, abuse of process, unpaid salary and labor code violations.

UPDATE: Larry Stein, the attorney for the Lowes, issued the following statement to TMZ: "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 claim against Rob."

2. Okay, and so... did Boyce ever say "Stop" or tell her that she was uncomfortable with it? Or better yet, get another job at the first sight of this type of behavior?

I have no sympathy.

3. Geez, don't all these people have contracts they are breaking? I will admit, this is amusing, using her forearm? haha!

4. This nanny needs to quit.She's not going to win this case and all she is doing is airing the Lowe's dirty laundry for all of America to see. It's terrible! ANYTIME you have ANYBODY that's not part of the family living in your house, they will know of things that are somewhat private, it's just a fact.

7. What the heck is broken on Rob? I guess I will google that.

8. My guess is that she got in touch with their previous nanny (what's her name again?), and they worked out a deal. "If I win this case with your help, then we'll split the profit." Something to that effect. This is why it's dangerous to be rich. You have a higher chance of running into someone who looks at you as nothing more than a dollar sign. Poor Rob Lowe! I feel so sorry for his family. As for the two nannies and their allegations. Can we say "fame whores"?

9. Wow, is right Lenn K., this is the most fascinating post in a while.

10. "There are also claims for wrongful termination"

That said it all right there. She was fired and is looking for money.

11. Commentary on the Rob Lowe story. These are shocking allegations but people need to remember these are only allegations to be proven at trial. Both sides should be fairly heard on this matter and then a jury can decide. I certainly hope these employees of Mr. Lowe, who signed confidentiality agreements, did not sell their stories to any of the media outlets or they undermine their claim. Didn't one of the employees of Mr. Lowe already pose for People Magazine? Did any money change hands? If so how much? Are other stories being sold? This is costing Mr. Lowe valuable publicity rights, his image is his bread and butter and if anyone is found to have intentionally attempted to damage that image they should be held accountable. It must be hard to have people at your home 24-7 they will see or hear things that seem shocking but are not out of the ordinary. Imagine your closest associates outside of your family spending as much time with you as a family member and then using that inside information to later harm you. Sad.

12. Kelli, this is like Wow, and insane at the same time. Who's the 7' foot basketball player? Current or former player? We want to know.

13. Okay if this is true, she should have quit immediatly and especially after talking about the kids....TMZ should not have posted that part these kids have to live and eventually hear the gossip...Come on us mothers do not want to hear gossip about little kids and sexual things...

15. She has a job as a celebrity Nanny and dates ex NBA players? I smell gold-digging ho skank. And if you want your case to have any credibility, hiring Gloria Alred is a step in the wrong direction.
