HOLLYWOOD - The nanny who is accusing Rob Lowe and his wife of sexual harassment has been endorsed by reality TV star Shanna Moakler, who has vowed to stand by her.
Laura Boyce, who worked for the Lowe family up until last year, has accused Lowe of creating an "extremely sexually offensive and hostile work environment," claiming her former boss regularly paraded around the family home naked and made inappropriate comments of a lewd nature.
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.
Boyce also watches the children of Moakler, who insists the 37-year-old is a good friend.
Moakler tells People.com, "I've been friends with Laura for the past 10 years--before she was my nanny--and I completely stand by her."
The Lowes vehemently deny all accusations leveled at them. A deposition of the actor and his wife has been scheduled for May 19.
