The former football legend was mentioned in a statement by Sheryl Lowe, who on Wednesday was accused in a counter lawsuit of making racist remarks in the presence of her former nanny Laura Boyce.

"I don't know anything about the case, but I have known the Lowes for over 20 years," Allen said in a statement released exclusively to Access Hollywood. "They are like family to me. They are absolutely, positively, undoubtedly NOT racist!"

Sheryl Lowe issued her own statement earlier today, denying the allegations by the former nanny and calling on Allen as a reference.

"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," Sheryl Lowe's statement read. "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."

  • All of this is just so ridiculous. I wish the Lowes well, and I hope that the judge will make the right decision and throw everything out. And I hope that the Lowes will NOT make an out of court settlement with these greedy women. That's probably what they are hoping will happen, since they are so greedy and just want money anyway. Keep your heads up Rob and Sheryl Lowe, and be strong.
