Celebrity Justice
Rob Lowe vs. Nanny -- Who Really Lost?

Rob LoweSo the Gloria Allred just fired off an email to us, saying our story about Rob Lowe was wrong -- you know, the case where Lowe is suing his former nanny, Laura Boyce, for allegedly violating the confidentiality agreement and defaming him.

The judge in the case just shot down Boyce's claim that the confidentiality agreement was not enforceable -- at least, that's what we said. Gloria, who reps the nanny, claims the judge merely denied her motion to throw out Lowe's lawsuit, and didn't rule on the confidentiality agreement.

But Lowe's lawyer, Larry Stein, tells us Gloria is full of it -- that her whole argument was that the case should be 86'd because the confidentiality agreement violated Boyce's First Amendment rights and was unenforceable. Stein says the judge squarely rejected Allred's challenge to the confidentiality agreement.

One thing's for sure -- someone's gonna end up cryin'....

16. I find it funny that TMZ is constantly berating Gloria Allred's tactics. Doesn't Harvey Levin, the People's Court lawyer, own this site? Oh, the irony.

17. When you sign a confidentiality agreement and then break it, you can get sued.
It's so simple even a lowly kitchenmaid can understand the concept.

19. I think nannys who try to get money and violate an agreement are scum. so many people are too desperate for money and will violate anything to get ahead and society just seems to tolerate it. the dictator will solve this problem. Gloria Allred is a piece of garbage too. www.dictatormovie.com

20. Not learned to quit listening to the dwarfs rantings on legal matters yet? Why do you think he's inactive? For decades? He's a joke judged by his peers. Well, he's surrounded himself with the right people....empty headed surfer wanna be's, a pillsbury dough boy complete with pubic hair on his chin, a butt crack picture collector, and a fine collection of dogs (albeit ignorant ones)
