'I do not represent individuals accused of sex harassment': Celebrity attorney Gloria Allred criticizes her daughter Lisa Bloom's decision to defend 'old dinosaur' Harvey Weinstein
- Celebrity attorney Gloria Allred said in a statement that she would not represent producer
- The statement criticizes her daughter's decision to defend Harvey Weinstein
- Lisa Bloom said she has been advising the 'old dinosaur' for a year
- New York Times reported Thursday that Weinstein has a two decades long history of sexually harassing female employees including famous actresses
- Weinstein released an apology following the report, adding he's taking time off
- Bloom not only represents Weinstein, but has a book optioned by his company
Litigator to the stars Gloria Allred criticized her daughter Lisa Bloom for representing embattled movie studio head Harvey Weinstein.
Allred, known for taking high-profile and often controversial cases, released a statement Thursday saying that her daughter, Lisa Bloom, is protecting the wrong side.
'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.
'I only represent those who allege that they are victims of sexual harassment,' she added.
'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,' she said.
The celebrity attorney made the comments on the heels of an explosive New York Times report published Thursday claiming that Weinstein had been sexually harassing female employees for decades.
The paper said that Weinstein had paid out settlements to at least eight different women.
The Times also noted that Weinstein is currently being represented by Bloom, who has been advising the powerful producer for over a year 'on gender and power dynamics.'
Earlier on Thursday, Bloom released her own statement.
'As a women's rights advocate, I have been blunt with Harvey and he has listened to me,' she said.
'I have told him that times have changed, it is 2017, and he needs to evolve to a higher standard. I have found Harvey to be refreshingly candid and receptive to my message. He has acknowledged mistakes he has made.
'He is reading books and going to therapy. He is an old dinosaur learning new ways,' she added.
Bloom's relationship with Weinstein and his company is not purely a client-attorney dynamic.
Back in March, Bloom's book, Suspicion Nation, about the Trayvon Martin case, was optioned by the powerful Hollywood executive.
The Oscar-winning founder of film company Miramax is also said to have asked Ashley Judd to watch him shower and paid Rose McGowan $100,000 under a settlement for an incident shortly before her breakthrough role in 'Scream'.
Following the Times report, Weinstein released a statement saying that 'the way I've behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for it'.
Weinstein added that he is stepping away from his role at Miramax for a temporary sabbatical.
Lisa Bloom's Full Statement
'Harvey Weinstein and I have had many wide ranging conversations over the last year about rumors and allegations against him. He denies many of the accusations as patently false. Nevertheless, I have explained to him that due to the power difference between a major studio head like him and most others in the industry, whatever his motives, some of his words and behaviors can be perceived as inappropriate, even intimidating.
As a women’s rights advocate, I have been blunt with Harvey and he has listened to me. I have told him that times have changed, it is 2017, and he needs to evolve to a higher standard. I have found Harvey to be refreshingly candid and receptive to my message. He has acknowledged mistakes he has made. He is reading books and going to therapy. He is an old dinosaur learning new ways. He wants to reach out to any of the women who may have issues with him to talk to them in a respectful, peaceful way, with me present if that is acceptable to them. He has been working on a major foundation with USC with one of the largest grants for female directors, which started well over a year ago. And as we work together on a project bringing my book to the screen, he has always been respectful toward me.
He is deeply bothered by his some of his emotional responses. He has been working on his temper for over ten years and is chagrined the issue still plagues him. He recognizes he needs time off to focus on this issue and has much to learn. He wants to reach out to teachers with expertise in this area.
Harvey is not going to demean or attack any of the women making accusations against him, although he does dispute many of the allegations. Instead, he is going to use this as a painful learning experience to grow into a better man. I will continue to work with him personally for as long as it takes.
In addition, Harvey has asked me to do a comprehensive review of his company’s policies and practices regarding women in the workplace. I will make recommendations to ensure that gender equality and zero tolerance for workplace misconduct aren’t just goals, but a reality.'

maybe Im wrong and it is too early to tell but this story seems
like its dying down already...
where as the bill cosby shit was relentless....
like its dying down already...
where as the bill cosby shit was relentless....
Freddy,
If if it is dying down already, then you know why.
Bill Cosby was an anomaly being that rich and in the entertainment industry. Harvey is enveloped in people from his culture in that industry from the very bottom to the very top. Its just not the same game being played.
yea I just realized... bill is worth much more than harvey
harvey is worth about one hundred and fifty milly..
bill is more than twice that...
Which goes to show you that connections can, and often do, trump money. Though they do tend to go together, but not always.
Here yet another CAC to add to the list

So... is there going to be a mass effort to boycott and ban every project this dude's connected to like they did with Cosby?
Hasnt his company distributed a few of Apatow's movies?
Maybe Bill Cosby is the black Harvey Weinstein 
how?Maybe Bill Cosby is the black Harvey Weinstein
Harvey keeps earning $
Bill aint
Apatow showed his hypocrisy when he paid homage to Bowie, despite Bowie being a known child sex predator. I can't wait to see him NOT give Harvey the Bill treatment.
Bill still eats.
not in the same way as before
Harvey's peeps making sure ain't shit touching his pockets
I admit I'll never understand it
- could be because I'm neither a celebrity or a woman - but how could you be posing in pics, all buddy-buddy like, with someone who's harassing or making unwanted advances against you
Real talk. Reason why Trump has never gone broke.
