Rob Lowe, who plays senator Robert McCallister on
Brothers & Sisters, has filed three lawsuits last Monday against two of his former nannies and a former chef, accusing them of breach of contract, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
In the case of one nanny, Lowe has actually aired his grievances on
The Huffington Post. She is reportedly demanding $1.5 million from the actor and his wife Sheryl or she will engage in a scheme to hurt the couple by spreading “malicious lies.”
According to the
Brothers & Sisters actor, the nanny, who had worked and traveled with the Lowes family over several years, suddenly stopped working for them several weeks ago without a word or replacement. Eventually, she sent a text message to Sheryl explaining why she left.
"Sheryl, I am really sorry," the text said. "I have nothing bad 2 say about your family and really am thankful for what you guys have done for me over the years. I hope we can handle this as friends. I did not leave out of spite or anger, it was just time for my heart to let go. I am embarassed that I just up and left like this but I could not see another way."
The
Brothers & Sisters star has accused the other ex-nanny of falsely claiming to have a personal and intimate relationship with him and for repeatedly expressing romantic interest in him, claiming that Rob sexually harassed her and that Sheryl was an abusive employer.
In the final complaint filed against the family's former chef, Rob claims that the man had the nerve to have sex on the couple's bed with third parties" when the family was out of town. Furthermore, the chef allegedly stole prescription drugs from the Lowes, broke several security cameras and overcharged them for food. Rob also claims that the chef made statements to various people that Sheryl was “heartless, cold and unclean.”
