The emerging portrait of Herman Cain's most recent accuser shows a suburban homemaker with a history of financial and legal troubles, but one who supporters say has the guts to do the right thing.

Born and raised in Chicago, Bialek graduated from Carl Schurz High School on the Northwest Side and briefly attended Northeastern Illinois University before enrolling at Arizona State University. She graduated from ASU in 1983 with a communications degree, a school spokesman said.
Records show she twice has filed for personal bankruptcy, first in 1991 and then again in 2001. In the latter case, she claimed $5,700 in assets and more than $36,000 in liabilities. Among the creditors seeking payment was a management firm demanding back rent of $4,500, four credit card companies and a lawyer asking for his legal fees.
After the case was discharged, she accused a former boyfriend of harassing her for repayment of a loan, court records in the bankruptcy case show. Bialek borrowed $4,500 from William Concha, though Concha now believes she had no intention of paying him back, according to his brother, Mario.

Hmmmm..so ‘Buy a lick’ is possibly woman #1 and #4?? Just like the dem operatives to inflate the numbers by obfuscation and outright lying.
I would not be surprised if Axelrod leaked the whole thing to Politico
Would it make any difference to you if the accusations were true?
Looks like Bialek is giving FOX and interview...coming up soon.
It is obvious this is a set up by Bialek.
I haven’t decided if this was a thought out plan or a spur of the moment thing to take advantage of the situation.
Is it possible/probable (consider the time frame) that Bialek could be the original source to Politico?
Did Bialek ever ride in a car with Bill Daley?
One of struggle's links, IIRC, showed Sharon's son, Nick, going to middle school in Mundelein. This is the child Sharon was in a prolonged court battle with West Naze over.
What kind of mom goes on national tv and makes these kind of graphic statements and jokes when she has a 13-year-old son in middle school?
Now that's a great reference.
What kind of mom says the reason she came forward after all of these years is because her 13 year old son told her to??
“Buy A Lick” Now that is funny!!
I stole the coined term from another FReeper...lol. It IS funny!
It’s very possible Bialek is a Politico source. Allred wouldn’t touch Steffy’s question.

The same kind that goes on a 72-hour first date.
Cain Accuser’s Rocky Financial, Job History
According to public documents reviewed by ABC News, Bialek has a history of job changes and financial woes over the past two decades.
The 50-year-old Chicago woman has declared bankruptcy twice, and has lost multiple court judgments for debts totalling more than $10,000.
Bialek filed for bankruptcy in 1991 and again in 2001. Among the debts listed in 2001 are over $14,000 in credit card charges and more than $17,000 owed to the lawyer who handled a paternity case.
As of August 2011, she owed the Illinois Dept. of Revenue $4,384. By 2009, she owed the federal government $5,176 in taxes for years 2004 and 2005. There was also a lien for $885 filed against her in 2006 by a company that installed a water heater in her apartment. It was not clear if Bialek has repaid the debts.
In 2000, a judge awarded plaintiff Broadacre Management $4930.77 for unpaid rent, which included court costs. Broadacre was listed as a creditor on her 2001 Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. Last year Bialek lost a default judgment for more than $3,500 to Illinois Lending, according to Cook County online court records, and in 2005 lost another judgment in a separate case for more than $3,000.
MORGAN: You have a teenaged child.
BIALEK: Mm-hmm.
MORGAN: Are you concerned about the impact of all this on your child?
BIALEK: Absolutely. He’s the love of my life. And the most important thing in the world to me. And — but you know, on the other hand, I want him to know that his mommy did something good for women, that she stood up for what she believed in. And I think that’s a more important lesson to learn that I did something on behalf of women.
As you can see, Morgan chose not to ask Bialek why her previous husband filed a paternity suit against her shortly after this child was born.
Why were such topics ignored? Was it part of the terms of the interview set forth by Allred?
Consider that when Morgan asked for names of those corroborating her story, Allred refused to let Bialek answer:
MORGAN: How many other people have known about what happened?
BIALEK: I only told two people.
MORGAN: And who are they?
GLORIA ALLRED, CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY: We’re not going to name them, Piers, but we are identifying them as we did today as a physician that she was dating who has provided a declaration under penalty of perjury to us, which we have signed. And also a very prominent businessman who has been a longtime friend and mentor of Sharon’s, and he has also provided declaration under penalty of perjury to us that she told them shortly thereafter, after the incident, that Mr. Cain had made sexually inappropriate advances to her and conduct, misconduct with her, but she did not provide the detail to them. She was very, very embarrassed and shaken by this situation.
“And also a very prominent businessman who has been a longtime friend and mentor of Sharons,...”
HMMMM...a fellow Chicago Way buddler for Obama? Can’t wait until his name is leaked or discovered.
