Nanny Gate 2008: Still A Scream!
Rob Lowe’s former nanny, Laura Boyce, is striking back!
Hoping to dismiss Lowe’s lawsuit against her as part of an anti-SLAPP motion to strike, Boyce stated under oath in this declaration filed in court on Monday that:
“On November 16, 2007, I called to advise Sheryl Lowe that I was not feeling well but would be into work the following day…As I was speaking with Ms. Andrade, I heard Sheryl Lowe in the background yelling and laughing into the phone, ‘she got strep throat from sucking nigger dick. I mean black dick.’ At the time, I was dating an African American man.”
Popsquire’s perspective…
Even with this salacious statement, Boyce likely won’t win the motion. Although clearly relevant to Boyce’s own claims of harassment, this evidence has little relevance to show that Lowe’s lawsuit is intended to chill Boyce’s free speech rights, which must be the basis of this type of motion in California.
Nonetheless, as part of Gloria Allred’s ongoing use of the “Scream” litigation strategy, she once again has us talking about the alleged racial slur and sexual harassment allegations detailed in her cross-complaint. The filing likely was intended more as a public relations move than a legal slam dunk. And, in that arena, this round goes to Boyce!
