Rob Lowe will do just about anything to make people forget that he used to be an alcoholic who'd film himself shagging young girls.
So far these efforts have included an advert for the California tourist board and the TV show Brothers And Sisters, but neither worked – because a) he's not really very recognisable these days and b) it's Brothers And Sisters, for God's sake. Who'd watch that?
So instead Rob Lowe has tried a different tactic – he's suing all of his employees. And rightly so, because we know we'd rather go down in history as the man who sued people for having sex on our bed, finding us attractive and swearing at them for being the bloke from Brothers And Sisters.
Rob Lowe's decision-making process has long fascinated us, mostly because it's so flipping demented. Here's a man who, moments before having sex with an underage girl, thought "hold on, I'd better film this," a man who agreed to sing a toe-curling duet with Snow White at the Oscars, a man who – and this is just sick – is in Brother And Sisters.
However, it gets worse. Rob Lowe has got in a strop about two of his former nannies and an ex-chef. Fair enough – sometimes staff can be genuinely difficult, like when Robert De Niro's maid stole all his stuff – but that doesn't seem to be the case with Rob Lowe. Instead, Rob Lowe is suing them for a million dollars for all kind of reasons – vaguely involving extortion of some kind – with the main focus being on one former nanny in particular. People reports:
"In a 26-page complaint against the longtime former nanny, Lowe's lawyers say the woman claimed to have 'a personal and intimate relationship (with Lowe), and, in effect, accusing Rob Lowe of infidelity'. On at least one occasion, the nanny 'bragged' about giving Lowe a massage during a trip with the Lowe family, according to court papers. (The couple claims it never happened.) The woman also allegedly claimed that Lowe sexually harassed her and that Sheryl Lowe was an 'overly demanding' and 'abusive' employer, who made 'inappropriate comments of a sexual and racial nature' to her."
A million dollars for 'lying' about a massage? That's pretty heavy-going. However, if the claims are true then it sounds as if a million dollars is a fair price – because we'd imagine you'd have to crack on to Rob Lowe pretty heavily for him to stop rubbing oil into his own nipples while staring at himself in a mirror and winking long enough to actually notice you.
As for the other ex-nanny and the ex-chef, Rob Lowe alleges that one had sex on his bed, stole medicine from his bathroom and broke some security cameras, while the other one swore a bit sometimes.
Actually, whether or not Rob Lowe has a valid case against any of these people here isn't the most important question. The most important question is what a two-bit TV actor like Rob Lowe needs all these servants for. He's not exactly A-list, is he?
On the other hand, maybe Rob Lowe does need some extra help around the house. Those dishes aren't going to wash themselves, are they? Not while he spends all day pouting into the back of a spoon and imagining how great it'd be to kiss himself.
Which is how we imagine Rob Lowe spends all his free time.
