Sheryl Berkoff, Rob Lowe’s wife who's currently facing sexual harassment claims, calls former nanny Laura Boyce’s lawsuit “baseless” and “predatory.”

"As a mother of two young boys, it is sickening and disgusting that lawyer Mrs. Gloria Allred and Ms. Boyce would stoop so low as to drag a child into this latest, baseless, predatory lawsuit,” she says in a statement to The Insider. "To falsely attack my husband is one thing, to attack me is another, but to do this to our son reveals not only their lack of character, but how far they are willing to go to play the 'lawsuit lotto.'"

In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, Laura of creating an "extremely sexually offensive and hostile work environment."

Among Sheryl’s misdeeds are talking about her sons’ penis sizes, walking naked in front of Laura, and using the "n" word in reference to Laura’s boyfriend, a former NBA player – none of which, Sheryl says, are true.

"I find it deeply offensive the false allegation that I would use racially insensitive comments," she asserts. "I’m certain that my dearest and longtime friend, and godfather to my children, Marcus Allen would beg to differ with their charges. We do not see color in my household; my children do not see color. It deeply saddens me that I even have to explain this to my children."

Sheryl's full statement is below.

"As a mother of two young boys, it is sickening and disgusting that Mrs. Allred and Ms. Boyce would stoop so low as to drag a child into this latest, baseless, predatory lawsuit. To falsely attack my husband is one thing, to attack me is another, but to do this to our son reveals not only their lack of character, but how far they are willing to go to play the 'lawsuit lotto.'

"The charges against me are lies meant to embarrass and humiliate. I find it deeply offensive the false allegation that I would use racially insensitive comments. I’m certain that my dearest and longtime friend, and godfather to my children, Marcus Allen would beg to differ with their charges. We do not see color in my household; my children do not see color. It deeply saddens me that I even have to explain this to my children. These false allegations are made all the more painful because our family has been betrayed by a woman we welcomed into our home and treated like family. Laura Boyce was physically abused by a man with whom she was having a relationship. I had to take her to the emergency room once, and advised her that she had to be more careful about the men she dated, and that she was running with the wrong crowd. We are shocked that she has now chosen to destroy our right to peace, quiet, and privacy."
