Both sides claim victory in Rob Lowe case
In an interesting turn of events, the judge in the Rob Lowe/Nanny sexual harrassment case, both sides are claiming victory, for now.
For Gibson, the judge ruled that Lowe could not pursue his defamation claims against her because the 24-year-old former nanny is protected under laws allowing people to protest alleged workplace conditions. Three other claims also were tossed.
But for Lowe’s side the judge threw out Gibson’s claim that the actor retaliated against her. Previously, the judge dismissed two of Gibson’s other claims against Lowe.
Jessica Gibson’s lawyer is calling it a “huge victory”, saying that they look forward to continuing with the charges against the Lowes.
Rob and his wife’s attorney said that they didn’t lose anything today. Their mouthpiece says, “I’m delighted with the dismissal we won, and in essence, our lawsuit against Gibson remains totally intact.”
