Celebrity Justice
Rob Lowe: Nannygate Is Killing My Career

Nobody wants to buy a product from a married guy accused of gettin' down and dirty with the help -- just ask Rob Lowe.
Read the docs
According to court docs filed yesterday, Rob claims he's been passed over for at least three commercials since the second nanny sued him for sexual harassment. He says he's lost over a mil as a result. That's a big paycheck -- where is he filming these commercials, Japan?

Rob swears he never acted inappropriately with the nannies but it doesn't sound like the advertisers are buying it.

3. His track record with sex scandals speaks volumes about the accusations made by the maids.

In 1988, Rob Lowe was involved in a sex scandal over a videotape of him having sex with two females, one of whom was sixteen, in Atlanta while attending the 1988 Democratic National Convention. Lowe has asserted that he did not know that the second girl was underaged, and it was confirmed that the two had met at a bar, which the girl entered by lying about her age.

Further complicating the issue was another part of the same tape that leaked at the time, showing Lowe, a young American model called "Jennifer," and "Justin Morris" having a ménage à trois in a hotel room in Paris. This part of the original tape was made commercially available, and was sold as one of the first commercially available "celebrity sex tapes," damaging his public image.

Lowe's career was damaged by the scandal, and he later entered a rehabilitation clinic for alcohol and sex addiction.

They tried to get him to go back in rehab, but he said no,no,no.........

4. His career was not damaged at all! And he's probably just claiming loss of income from doing commercials in order to have some sort of counterclaim against the nanny(ies). Celebrities get denied gigs all the time, it's very competitive.

13. If you saw his sex tape some 15 years ago, you'd know that his co*k is big, and it's beautiful.

14. #10-LOL! Regardless of whether or not he did it, nobody wants someone endorsing their products who is attached to a scandal and pending litigation. And I agree with whomever said his track record isn't that great when it comes to sex & scandals. And that's what these companies are thinking too. One more question, how does he know it's because of the nannies? Maybe they just found another person they felt presented their product better.

15. Creepy old beefcake whines... does anyone believe his bull?
... too bad if Rob was innocent. He lost his credibility. He's just trying to show the court he lost money. The Japanese possibly didn't want a jerk with aggressive, abusive sue crazy tactics against employees. He decided to go public, remember the Huff Post false terrible farce? He knows the celebrity games he plays.
It's his victims that are hurting.
