There's arguably never a 'good' time to find out that your dad made a sex tape, but unfortunately for Rob Lowe's son, he found out from his classmates. In the eighties, a video of the actor's rendezvous with two women was released to the press, and a lawsuit from one of the girls' mothers followed, considering she was only 16 when the incident took place. However, Rob denied knowing her age.

John Owen, 28, revealed that he was in eighth grade or freshman year when a classmate informed him of the scandal. No 'sit-down' conversations about it ever took place between Rob and his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, and their sons.

He explained that, at the time, he was too 'stupid' to cash in, and that the tape was sold commercially without him collecting any of the earnings. Rob said that, in order to be fully transparent, he had to talk about it in his memoir and live show, Stories I Only Tell My Friends: LIVE!.

One of the women was underage, leading to a lawsuit from her mother the following year. Even though he managed to save his career, his son John Owen found out about it from his classmates when he was in eighth grade or freshman year of high school. Neither Rob nor his wife Sheryl Berkoff talked to John Owen about the scandal, and he just figured it out himself. The actor later noted his one regret in the situation was that he didn't make any money off the tape like other celebrities do. He shared that he was willing to discuss it in his live show, Stories I Only Tell My Friends: LIVE!, as he felt it was important to be authentic and transparent about his life.
