Lisa Bloom Resigns As Harvey Weinstein’s Attorney

In case you haven’t heard, Harvey Weinstein is a gross liberal perv. He’s been accused of sexually harassing countless women. He’s reached “at least eight settlements with women” in the past. But listen, he’s a freaking angel compared to President Trump. Just ask John Legend!

Interestingly enough, “feminist” lawyer Lisa Bloom decided to represent Weinstein. Her mother, Gloria Allred, was NOT happy.

“Had I been asked by Mr. Weinstein to represent him, I would have declined, because I do not represent individuals accused of sex harassment,” Allred said in a statement. “I only represent those who allege that they are victims of sexual harassment. While I would not represent Mr. Weinstein, I would consider representing anyone who accused Mr. Weinstein of sexual harassment, even if it meant that my daughter was the opposing counsel.”

Yowza.

Bloom responded, telling Variety, “I have a different kind of law practice. My mother does only plaintiff side discrimination and harassment work. I have a successful, 12-lawyer general practice law firm that includes business litigation, defamation, revenge porn cases, entertainment matters, family law, and much more. … I believe that we can do good by suing, but also working behind the scenes to encourage accused people to respond with dignity and respect.”

Bloom continues, “I would never take a case where either my lawyer mother or my lawyer daughter is opposing counsel. That’s another area where we differ. I believe in family before business.”

Family before business, huh? That might explain why she suddenly resigned as Weinstein’s lawyer.

I have resigned as an advisor to Harvey Weinstein.
My understanding is that Mr. Weinstein and his board are moving toward an agreement.

Remember this person also thought Kathy Griffin's press conference would be a good idea.

In other words:

"After 24 hours of bad press, I now realize that Mr. Weinstein's actions, which I defended yesterday, are indefensible despite his politics" https://t.co/OzgeJtMmzW
