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.
Other disturbing details in Grove’s report include details of Bloom attacking the Hollywood Reporter‘s Kim Masters to aid ex-Amazon Studios boss Roy Price, who was accused of sexual harassment. One particularly bizarre incident of Price’s alleged misconduct include him telling producer Isa Hackett the following:
“You will love my dick,” Price allegedly told Hackett, a married lesbian with children, while whispering in her ear, “Anal sex!”
The Daily Beast article provides a searing rebuke of Bloom’s carefully manufactured image as a feminist icon, which seems to be falling apart in light of her work for Weinstein and other nefarious clients like Masters. Bloom responded to the outlet’s report by saying, “As a lawyer for the last 31 years (litigating for 23), I have fought hard for many men and women, mostly ordinary people in discrimination and harassment cases against powerful entities.”
I suppose that if having her own practice fails, she could end up being Bill Clinton’s cleanup crew for each bimbo eruption. Paid off pretty well for George Stephanapolous.
Is it not amazing all of the liberal dynasties taking it in the shorts?
Fooking ambulance chaser...pay her the right money and she will whore her services out. Kind of ironic and sad.
So, she’s a lawyer then?
“Nuts and Sluts”
The Left knows how to win the War on Women. They’ve been doing this for decades. Put those uppity women in their place Liberals! You rock!
I thought it was forbidden to tell a rape victim it was her fault because of how she dressed or her general slutiness.
Yes, everyone knows that Rose is a slut, Lisa.
That doesn’t really have any bearing on Harvey Weinstein’s behavior though, does it?
The ‘Nuts and Sluts’ defense.............
Silly goose, Lisa Bloom has the correct political views, so this doesn’t matter.
Well the glaring hypocrisies certainly look terrible to the public, which sees this lying bare, much like Harvey likes to do in front of young starving actresses.
Does anyone remember the dress she wore to the VMA awards years ago? She was very nearly naked. Did she think that was a look that screamed “decent and moral”?
“Is it not amazing all of the liberal dynasties taking it in the shorts?”
Even more amazing is that they are doing it to themselves. No conservatives or other “enemies” are involved.
Question?
What is the timeline of Rose McGowan’s ‘haircut’, and her rape by HW?
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...See, sometimes shouting "show me the money" doesn't pay off. Disbarment and prison to follow?
