An exposé by The Daily Beast‘s Lloyd Grove details how Lisa Bloom — a lawyer famous for her defense of sexual harassment victims — reportedly attempted to discredit Rose McGowan’s allegations against Harvey Weinstein with “files on her and her sexual history.”

The report details a conversation between journalist Ronan Farrow — who helped break open the Weinstein scandal with his New Yorker piece — in which Bloom said, “I don’t know if you’ve talked to Rose McGowan, but we have files on her and her sexual history.” Farrow was reportedly “stunned and disgusted” by the supposed feminist’s threat against the actress.

McGowan — who had been speaking to Farrow for his report — has since publicly accused the Hollywood producer of raping her at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival.

The deeply reported Daily Beast story goes on to detail the ways in which Weinstein and his legal team aggressively sought to shut down Farrow’s exposé, first when he pitched it to NBC News, and later when he was writing it for the New Yorker.

A true WTF situation.

1. I wonder what the hell Gloria Allred thinks

Wow.

9. Lisa made a statement a couple of weeks ago.

Said it was a big mistake on her part because she thought, for the first time in her career, she could work from the inside to try and change the culture of the industry. Lisa admitted that it did not work and she was sorry and it was a mistake.

2. Lawyers do what lawyers do!

3. Not allowed in court. Gloria Allred raised her wrong.

[Not Ruth]

4. Lisa was #TeamWeinstein for a minute

Harvey was not noted for playing nice

[mainer]

5. Lawyers get paid the big bucks for doing dirty things

Morals go out when a big check rolls in.

7. I have known and worked with hundreds (literally, hundreds)

of lawyers and I only know a few (less than 10) that have kept their moral and ethical compass intact

😔

6. Handmaiden

Women often enforce the patriarchy's rules on other women; their male patrons are only too happy to delegate this work to them.

14. Bingo.

10. Lisa Bloom was the lawyer for the woman who alleges that Trump raped her when she was 13

It was Lisa Bloom who announced back in September, 2016, that the alleged rape victim would come forward and reveal herself at a press conference at Bloom's SoCal office.
However, the press conference was called off due to "death threats"

Hmmmm..I wonder if Bloom herself had anything to do with the fact that the press conference was called off?
(The alleged victim could have gone ahead with the press conference and answered questions via Skype or some other method that would have protected her identity)

11. I've always detected a whiff of bullshit about her.

But I never said anything. She reminds me too much of her showboating mother.

[red dog 1]

12. I used to like her

She's been on Thom Hartmann's Show at least twice, I think.
(I never liked Gloria Allred)

13. Same. A BIG whiff. nt

15. Dead to me.

16. Not surprised.

I never bought Bloom's or her mother's feminist credentials.
