Rob Lowe has settled up with a former nanny, who claimed Lowe sexually harassed her by, among other things, exposing himself to her and groping her.
Both sides have requested that the case be dismissed, according to documents obtained by People. Lowe and Jessica Gibson have sued each other -- the actor denying the allegations and claiming she tried to blackmail him.
It's unclear if money will change hands in the settlement.
Lowe still has to deal with another former nanny... Laura Boyce. Boyce claims she was sexually harassed as well while working for Rob and Sheryl Lowe. The Lowes deny it.
Sometimes you're better off just doing your own dishes.

The boyfriend of Rob and Sheryl Lowe's former nanny admits he gave her some pretty dumb advice.
In more court documents, filed late last week in Santa Barbara County Superior Court, Jessica Gibson's boyfriend Jason Lesh says after Gibson abruptly quit her job last February, she wanted to "tell Sheryl Lowe to f**k off" in a text message. Lesh says he stopped her -- and crafted a kinder, gentler text for her to send.
In his declaration, Lesh says he told Gibson to send a text in a "nice tone" to her former boss to "appease" her, with the hopes "that Jessica could 'neutralize' her." He now says that was something that "I deeply regret, and now believe to be stupid."
The Lowes sued Gibson in April alleging their former nanny breached her confidentiality agreement and was in cahoots with other employees trying to shake down the couple. Gibson fired back with her own suit, claiming the Lowes sexually harassed her and engaged in sexually inappropriate behavior.

Rob Lowe got a break in court today, as a Santa Barbara judge tossed out two of the claims made against him by the actor's former nanny -- neither of which had anything to do with sexual harrassment though.
Lowe will still have to deal with the ten counts that matter -- the juicy sex allegations -- but the two allegations of labor code violations made by 24-year-old Jessica Gibson will no longer be a part of the case.
UPDATE: Gibson's lawyer Gloria Allred tells TMZ, "At the end of the day we still have nine causes of action against Lowe and we are still able to move forward with our case. The core of Ms. Gibson's claims are still completely intact and what happened in court today does not affect Ms. Gibson's ability to recover fully for what happened to her. Despite Lowe's legal maneuvering, he has not been able to affect our ability to proceed with the heart of our case."

TMZ has learned that Rob Lowe just threw ex-nanny Jessica Gibson's complaint back in her face -- and is telling her to shove it.
Just yesterday, a notice of demurrer -- aka a motion to dismiss -- was filed by the Lowes in Santa Barbara Superior Court. The Lowes are directly attacking nine of Jessica's claims -- all related to her claims of unpaid wages and retaliation. The biggest point being that Gibson herself even admitted to receiving a check from the Lowes last month for "owed wages and overtime."
The Lowes attorney, Larry Stein, tells TMZ, "We clearly stated our position in the demurrer."
We have yet to hear back from Jessica's legal flamethrower, Gloria Allred.

Here comes the "she said": Jessica Gibson says that Rob Lowe exposed himself, touched himself and groped her several times.
In a cross complaint to the original lawsuit, filed yesterday in Santa Barbara County Superior Court, Gibson claims between September 2005 and January 2008 Lowe "placed his hand inside Gibson's pants in order to touch her crotch" and "grabbed Gibson's buttocks without consent." Gibson also claims she feared Lowe would "attempt to further sexually assault her."
