Actor Rob Lowe says a former employee is falsely accusing him of inappropriate conduct in order to get $1.5 million in "hush money."
"My family is devastated at this betrayal," he writes on the Huffington Post. "This woman worked in our home and traveled with us off and on for seven years, without complaint."
The woman quit "several weeks ago," he writes, and now "will accuse us both of a vicious laundry list of false terribles" since the $1.5 million payment was not made.
Lowe reproduces text messages allegedly sent by the woman – whom he found out had a "crush" on him – explaining her departure before she sought the pay-out.
"I have nothing bad 2 say about your family and really am thankful for what you guys have done for me over the years," she allegedly wrote. "I did not leave out of spite or anger, it was just time for my heart to let go... It had nothing to do with you or rob either, this was me."
Lowe asks, "Does that sound like someone who has been treated badly?"
He adds, "No one intimidates my family... We will defend ourselves with vigor and without fear."
Lowe, 44, has been married to Sheryl Berkoff since 1991. They have two sons.

No, seen the wife and many other pics, she is fugly, sorry. They look wrong together, but something is right to stay married that long in Hollywood - 17 years is amazing in Hollywood and even in the real world now-a-days. Shows he's more deep than about the looks and he's taking up for his fam. Good guy and still hot!

Rob Lowe is an ultimate gentleman with class and would never stoop for a nanny. He would be a great Senator in real life and cares about making the world a better place including the environment.

Dang... His wife is butt ugly. sorry but this is the truth. I mean the babysitter probably did have a crush on him, and seeing how he had to bed that cow at night drove her over the edge. I mean I'm sure his wife has a sweet personality and all that. Heck you got to have with a body and face like hers. BE REAL now. Rob Lowe can do much much better and the babysitter even knew that. WOW WEE when I saw her pics I was even like kick that fat .. to the curb.

Are you kidding me? These two could be in divorce court tomorrow! Robin Williams just got separated from his wife and they had been together for like 18 or 19 years! There have been many others. You just never know with Hollywood. Hollywood's love is totally for the moment.
Robin Williams' soon to be ex-wife started out as his children's nanny. He left his first wife for her. Maybe Rob was banging the nanny and now she is blackmailing him.

I dont understand why so many people are blasting his wife about how she looks. I have seen many photos of her and she is a beautiful woman- this is a bad photo. Not everyone has the same view as to what is considered beautiful. He obviously adores her and for that she is a very lucky lady. Honestly- do you think just b/c he is an actor he should be with some skin and bones wannabe starlet? Look in the mirrors-Im sure many of you aren't that attractive.

Do any of you not ever take a bad picture??? Maybe it's just a bad shot of her and she's prettier in person. I take awful pics, rarely a good one, yet I'm very pretty in real life, not bragging, just saying.

OMG..his wife is terribly ugly. She looks like trailor trash! Dude, he is one hot looking man..and he definitely could have done better than that. They're rich..she needs to straighten her hair, get a stylist and learn how to put on make up modestly. UGH.
Whoever said she's pretty needs to get some glasses! She's butt ugly. She has no lips! LOL!

I agree with Shelia below. You are all shallow and I can't help but wonder what YOU look like??? Probably not supermodels yourselves. Perhaps he, gasps, LOVES HER! OMG, what a concept.
As for the blackmailing housekeeper, FIGHT BACK ROB. It is obvious the housekeeper is trying to take advantage of your family.

Attention Children writing here:
Grow up. It doesn't matter how someone looks. More important is the depth of their character and by the sound it you could all take a class in that department. Oh, by the way, haven't any of you take a less than perfect picture at some point. You need to get a clue. Looks don't last. She is a pretty woman. Period. Don't bother writing anything in response to this email, you will just show how shallow you are. Good day.
