Rob Lowe blogs of Babysitter Extortion Attempt
Posted on April 7th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Rob Lowe has accused a former babysitter of trying to extort money from him and his wife, Sheryl (pictured). Kind of sounds like the makings of a Lifetime original movie.
Rob wrote a blog post for The Huffington Post called “Household Betrayal.” Movie title? In the post, Rob said this woman wants $1.5 million by the end of the week or she will spread a bunch of vicious lies about them.
Rob writes, “My family is devastated at this betrayal; this woman worked in our home and traveled with us off and on for seven years, without complaint.” Rob went on to post two friendly text messages they received from the woman after she quit proving that they split on good terms.
He said the babysitter had several personal problems and they tried to help her, “During her time in our home my wife tried to mentor this young woman. She took her into her confidence. We took her into our hearts. Having 18 years of sobriety, both my wife and I tried to be supportive as she struggled with personal issues. But we never saw this coming. Apparently, she wanted more. Recently, a colleague of hers has come forward to reveal that this young woman had ‘a crush’ on me and told her on many occasions, ‘I wish he would get a divorce.’”
Rob has been through the ringer years back with his sex tape with a 16-year-old girl. His spilling the beans and telling his families side of the story first via the blogging is perhaps preemptive defusing action against the former family babysitter before the press picked up her story.
