Actor Rob Lowe‘s former nanny refused to give details about her sexual harassment claims against her former employer when she appeared on live TV for the first time on Tuesday morning.
Appearing alongside her attorney Gloria Allred on breakfast show Today, Jessica Gibson just laughed awkwardly and shook her head when she was asked to describe what Lowe did to her.
In a sexual harassment lawsuit, filed in a California court on Monday, Gibson claimed Lowe “placed his hand inside Gibson’s pants in order to touch her crotch” and “grabbed Gibson’s buttocks without consent” several times between September 2005 to January 2008.
Gibson also alleges Lowe repeatedly exposed his “flaccid penis” and his “erect penis” to her, as well as frequently asking her “to touch his penis,” reports TMZ.com.
And Gibson claims Lowe‘s wife Sheryl taunted her with “numerous sexually vulgar comments about male genitalia,” and on one occasion told her “she would never have a boyfriend, because only a married man would want to f**k her.”
Her lawyer told Today anchorwoman Meredith Vieira, “She’s not going to go into the details of that, but she will go into the details of it in her lawsuit as it’s being litigated, and we are looking forward to that.”
Last week, Lowe accused Gibson of trying to extort $1.5 million from him and his wife Sheryl for her silence.
Allred confirmed the two sides in the extortion and harassment case will meet “across a table” on May 19 and 20.
She added, “Jessica will be there and I’ll be there, eyeballing him, and then we’ll see if he wants to disclose what happened.
“Maybe they’re gonna want to avoid that deposition, maybe they’re gonna want to try to delay it.”
