Okay I can see how the ‘image’ of Lowe as a sexual predator is an easy one to take given the past scandal that almost killed his career but where’s the actual evidence of this? Was he sleeping with underage co-stars before? Have other nannies come forward with similar allegations?

There’s usually a trail or trend with these sort of things, hardly ever just one previous event. You can’t build up an attitude of sexual entitlement by just harrassing one girl - unless you were maliciously targeting just one individual.

It’s interesting that these allegations pop up when he’s starting to make a career for himself again. I mean this can’t be the first time he’s had help around the house or a nanny before. There’s got to be than that - and I mean that for either party.

From the sordid details, you can clearly tell that something isn’t right. When someone struts around naked infront of me, I tell them off, instead of waiting 7 years to go and tell the whole world with a smiling face. I think she enjoyed all the perversion and now wants to cash in on it.

Who knows maybe this nanny got involved in a sexual realtionship with Rob,but he was never going to leave his wife and so this nanny is retaliating and coming out with all these embarrising claims. One way or the other, I don’t like this nanny. If she really felt abused by them, than why is she sitting there with a smile on her face? She probably liked Rob’s attention until she realized she wasn’t that important to them and they could always find another nanny to harass.

Why is she smiling? Accusing someone of sexual harassment is serious business. Being a victim of sexual harassment is serious business. So why the hell is she smiling so much? Ok, let’s suppose that her allegations are true. She finally gets fed up and quits but she then takes the time to send two emails saying her leaving had nothing to do with them, that her heart (I’m quoting the clip) just wasn’t into nannying anymore? Sorry just don’t buy her story and Gloria Allwet needs to STFU.

Wait, they hired a 17 year old to take care of their kid? The poor girl is only 24 now. Why shouldn’t she get the best lawyer? Rob started this that insane letter he put up on the Huffington Post.

Mairead, I was a nanny myself and quite honestly, most families consider well trained, particularly for ages 18 months and up to be any young woman with a high school diploma, no criminal background, drug free who can push a swing at the park.

Very few families want a genuinely well trained nanny. For starters, they would have to pay out the eyeball. Secondly, most parents want to dictate the terms of their child’s care to this woman as if they are somehow experts on child rearing.

Nope, what works out best for most people who employ nannies is a young, biddable thing who will do exactly what you tell them including work a few extra hours here and there and run a couple errands while keeping their child occupied. God forbid the nanny become equally as important to the child as their parents.

Not saying all families are this way but certainly all the ones I or any other nannies I knew were exactly like this.

The employers of nannies are some of the most insecure, snobbish people around, generally speaking but I still think this woman is full of crap.

I see she has that shrill harpy of a lawyer on her side, so she must be serious.

its odd that allred wants to have her arm on the nanny’s arm or lap the entire interview. thats very controlling body language and indicates she wants to do all the answering because she cannot control exactly what the nanny says. it was probably meant to look nurturing and comforting, but its also a way she can signal to her when she wants her to shut up, etc. when viera asked about the text messages.

After watching her interview, I doubt she’ll get very far in court. The whole time she was smiling, like she wanted to bust out laughing. Her demeanor was not a nervous young lady that had been mistreated; that’s for sure! Her lawyer is probably hoping the Lowe’s will pay up a hefty sum to avoid this being drug around in the media. How is that any different from blackmail? Because you have a lawyer, that makes it right? If she had actually been wronged, she would have filed a criminal report first; then perhaps a civil suit. The fact that it’s purely civil tends to make her look like she’s trying to get something for nothing!
