He dismissed four of the Lowe's claims including his allegation of defamation. (A judge ruled that Gibson, 24, is protected under laws that allow people to protest against their workplace condition.)
"He lost the heart of his case, which is defamation, and we are permitted to proceed with the heart of our case, which was - and still is - our allegation that Rob Lowe sexually harassed Jessica," Gibson's attorney, Gloria Allred, told TMZ.com.
But the judge also took a swipe at Gibson, throwing out her claim that Lowe, 44, retaliated against her. (A judge previously tossed out two of her allegations related to labor-code violations.)
"I'm delighted with the court's ruling today," Lowe's attorney, Larry Stein, told TMZ. "It removed the retaliation claim, which Ms. Allred had been focusing on, and left in six claims, which allows us to prosecute every claim we've made."
The hearing is the latest in the scandal-laden court battle.
On April 7, Lowe and his wife Sheryl filed a preemptive lawsuit against Gibson, accusing her of demanding $1.5 million in hush money.
A week later, Gibson filed her own lawsuit against the Lowes. She accused him of groping her and exposing himself to her.
She also alleged that his wife, Sheryl, would walk around the house naked and make vulgar comments about their sex life, according to the 18-page document.
The Lowes vehemently deny all of Gibson's allegations.
After Gibson filed her suit, a second former nanny, Laura Boyce, came forth claiming Sheryl sexually harassed her.

HeidiDale S, just because a man is handsome doesn't mean he is a good man when it comes to how he handles women or that he isn't capable of abusive behavior. Some men with power in fact feel a sense of entitlement that fuels that sort of behavior. I wont say she is a gold digger or that he is guilty until a judge does. Looks prove nothing.report abuseposted August 1, 2008 9:25 AM PDT
