Me To Rob Lowe's Nanny: I Don't Buy It!

Normally, I am one who jumps to the defense off the accuser in situations like these, but something here smells very fishy.

Sorry Gloria, I think your client is a fraud.

Jessica Gibson, a former nanny for Brothers and Sisters actor Rob Lowe, is accusing him of sexual harassment and sexual assault. His response? He and his wife filed a lawsuit against the woman, claiming she attempted to blackmail them for 1.5 million dollars! If they didn't pay up, she would go to the press.

Well, it seems like she went good on her word.

She even got herself a top-notch vulture of a lawyer, the infamous Gloria Allred. The two went on the Today Show to share their side of the story this past week.

Technically, Gloria shared their side of the story; the nanny was basically mute. That didn't mean she didn't say anything. She may have only said a word or two, but her face spoke volumes for her.

During the majority of the interview, Jessica had this odd smirk on her face, almost as if she was saying "I got you, Rob Lowe." She didn't look like a woman who, for years, was sexually humiliated by a celebrity. She also didn't look like a courageous woman fighting against a pervert actor. Instead, she looked like a woman who was expecting the public to be on her side, someone who was very satisfied with how the interview was going.

She can thank Gloria Allred for that, because if her lawyer wasn't there, she would've completely collapsed.

Whenever Meredith asked the nanny a question that pertained to her alleged sexual abuse or the text messages she sent the family, she always hesitated to answer before Allred stepped in and weaved her magic wand of legal jargon to cover a potential mistake. I was given the impression that if she was allowed to answer, she would continue to hesitate, think about the answer, then deliver a response she would later forget or change. The interview was more about Gloria Allred than a woman finding justice.

I'm sorry, but if she can't even properly defend herself in the court of public opinion, than how the hell is she going to handle Lowe's (and ABC's, they are supporting him) high-powered lawyers in a trial?

Again, Gloria's there, all ready to fight in both courts.

Seriously, I don't buy these accusations for a second. I think both Gloria and the nanny are full of it; money-hungry, publicity-seeking women who are attacking a man known for his questionable sexual exploits. I believe it's a case of extortion, plain and simple.

Jessica should quit this before she loses any kind of respect people have for her. Leave Rob Lowe and his family alone!
