Following reports that a second nanny had filed a lawsuit against ROB LOWE and his wife, STANTON "LARRY" STEIN, an attorney for the Lowes, released the following statement to "The Insider":

The statement reads: "Having struck out against ROB LOWE, GLORIA ALLRED now seeks to drag his wife and children into the fray. In response to a lawsuit against LAURA BOYCE by the Lowes, Ms. Allred filed a cross-complaint on behalf of Boyce, which contains false allegations, in an apparent attempt to divert the negative publicity which Allred's client, [JESSICA] GIBSON, has universally received.

"Although framed as a sexual harassment claim against both SHERYL and Rob Lowe, the cross-complaint alleges only words by Sheryl and never mentions any words or conduct by Rob whatsoever."
