Rob Lowe’s former nanny Jessica Gibson has claimed that she was sexually harassed by the actor during the time that she was employed. Gibson, 24, alleges that Lowe exposed himself to her and inappropriately touched her in an 18 page lawsuit filed in California on Monday.
The lawsuit states that Lowe “placed his hand inside Gibson’s pants” and “grabbed Gibson’s buttocks without consent.”
Last week Lowe, 44, accused Gibson of extortion. He claimed that Gibson threatened to go to the press with accusations of harassment if he and his wife Sheryl Lowe didn’t pay her $1.5 million.
Lowe went public with the claims and said it was “an attempt to damage and humiliate not only my wife and me, but our two young sons as well.”
