===Nanny lawsuit cases===
In April 2008, Lowe filed separate lawsuits against three former employees, accusing them of breach of contract, defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Lowe accused an ex‑nanny of engaging in a scheme to hurt him and his wife by spreading "malicious lies." Another former nanny was accused of falsely claiming to have had a personal and intimate relationship with Lowe, and also repeatedly expressing romantic interest in Lowe, claiming Lowe sexually harassed her and that Sheryl Lowe was an abusive employer. Lowe also claimed a former chef engaged in sex on their bed when the family was out of town, stole prescription drugs from the Lowes, broke several security cameras, overcharged them for food, and allegedly made statements to various people that Sheryl was heartless, cold, and unclean.<ref>{{cite web|last=Dodd|first=Johnny|title=Rob Lowe Lawsuit Claims Ex-Employee Had Sex on His Bed, Stole Prescription Drugs|url=https://people.com/crime/rob-lowe-lawsuit-claims-ex-employee-had-sex-on-his-bed-stole-prescription-drugs/|website=People|access-date=October 2, 2019|date=April 7, 2008|archive-date=September 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200928081031/https://people.com/crime/rob-lowe-lawsuit-claims-ex-employee-had-sex-on-his-bed-stole-prescription-drugs/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Jessica Gibson, Lowe's 24-year-old former nanny, made 12 allegations against Lowe involving [[sexual harassment]] claims and labor-code violations.
