HOLLYWOOD - Rob Lowe's wife Sheryl has blasted the family's former nanny, who has charged her with sexual harassment, calling the action "deeply offensive."
Laura Boyce, who worked for the Lowe family last year, has accused Lowe of creating an "extremely sexually offensive and hostile work environment," claiming her former boss quizzed her about the size of her African-American boyfriend's penis and regularly paraded around the family home naked.
She filed papers in Los Angeles on Wednesday and staged an emotionally charged press conference with her lawyer Gloria Allred on Thursday to address her accusations.
But Sheryl Lowe is fighting back. In a fiery statement, she says, "As a mother of two young boys, it is sickening and disgusting that Mrs. Allred and Ms. Boyce would stoop so low as to drag a child into this latest, baseless, predatory lawsuit.
"The charges against me are lies meant to embarrass and humiliate. I find it deeply offensive the false allegation that I would use racially insensitive comments."
