read People’s report of the press conference featuring the latest nanny to file a civil suit against Rob and Sheryl Lowe, and came away with some hope that this case might get interesting. People makes it seem as if the alleged victim comes across as believable, saying that Boyce “trembled and nearly hyperventilated” throughout the press conference.
Then I saw a clip on TMZ, and like Allred’s appearance with the first nanny on The Today Show, she ran the whole show and managed to make it seem like it was her idea to file the suit.

It seems I’ve found an exact flip flop in this adaptation from its similar counterpart, The Devil Wears Prada.
The Book:
Although this book is written in the same vein as The Devil Wears Prada, this one actually makes me feel sympathetic for the narrator/victim. Unlike Prada, the job of a nanny is far from glamorous and there’s no free designer clothes involved either (even at Christmas the nanny receives a simple pair of earmuffs in lieu of the expensive handbags and bonus checks given to the rest of the “help”).

Rob Lowe was sued for sexual harassment this spring by a nanny who worked for his family for seven years, returning once on her own volition. The nanny, Jessica Gibson, 24, is being represented by aggressive press-hungry celebrity attorney Gloria Allred. In a less than credible appearance on The Today Show, Gibson grinned guiltily and laughed inappropriately while Allred answered most of the questions, holding her hand and controlling the interview.
