2nd Nanny Sues Lowes for Sex Harrassment

Posted May 2, 08 10:44 AM CDT in Gossip 

(Newser) – Yet another nanny is suing over sexual harassment in the Rob Lowe household. Laura Boyce made her case yesterday in a teary-eyed presser in which she claimed that the actor's wife behaved in a "perverted, disgusting, and crude manner." With lawyer Gloria Allred's arm around her, Laura Boyce said she felt "betrayed" and "extremely upset" that the Lowes had earlier sued her, along with two employees, for being part of a $1.5-million extortion scheme.

The first nanny to countersue, Jessica Gibson, who worked for the couple for 7 years, claimed that Rob repeatedly exposed himself and inappropriately touched her; this one claims his wife Cheryl Berkoff walked around the house naked, talked about her sex life with Rob, and used the "n" word to describe Boyce's boyfriend.
