Oh Dear: Actress Rose McGowan Says Weinstein Attorney Lisa Bloom Offered $6 Million Hush Money…

Like her mother Gloria Allred, attorney and media personality Lisa Bloom has created her controversial personal brand image as an advocate for women who have been victimized.
However, against increasing numbers of women sharing stories about their sexual harassment by Bloom’s former client Harvey Weinstein, actress Rose McGowan is claiming that Weinstein lawyer and Lisa Bloom’s co-counsel, Charles Harder, tried to pay her $6 million hush money to actually support McGowan’s abuser.

(Via Daily Mail)  Harvey Weinstein accuser Rose McGowan claims attorney Lisa Bloom offered her $6 million to publicly support the disgraced media mogul who she says raped her.
In an emotional statement posted to what appears to be her private Facebook account, the former Charmed star accused celebrity attorney Lisa Bloom of approaching her literary agent to try and influence McGowan to publicly support Weinstein.
Bloom had represented Weinstein before resigning on October 7 after the scandal broke.

McGowan, who was one of the first women to publicly allege that Weinstein had sexually assaulted her, revealed she did not sign a non-disclosure agreement after reaching a settlement with the media mogul for $100,000 after she claims he raped her at a hotel room in 1997 during the Sundance Film Festival.
‘You know what is truth, Lisa? I feel like people should know that you’ve been calling my literary agent and saying there’d be money for me if I got on the “Harvey’s Changed” bandwagon?’ the actor wrote. (read more)

Woody Allen calls Weinstein claims “very sad for everyone involved”
Posted on October 17, 2017 by DCG 

This. Is. Rich.
Allen isn’t interested in anyone’s “horror stories,” just making movies. Pretty much sums up Hollyweird’s desire to coverup for a predator.
From Hollywood Reporter: Woody Allen has opened up to the BBC about the sexual harassment and assault allegations made against Harvey Weinstein.
The filmmaker, whose latest movie, Wonder Wheel, premiered at the New York Film Festival on Saturday night, told the British media outlet that he’d heard rumors of improper conduct by the mogul but, “No one ever came to me or told me horror stories with any real seriousness. And they wouldn’t, because you are not interested in it. You are interested in making your movie.”
Beyond that Allen said he’d never heard any allegations of rape and sexual assault made against Weinstein.
“But you do hear a million fanciful rumors all the time. And some turn out to be true and some – many – are just stories about this actress, or that actor,” Allen said.
He added that he found the allegations against Weinstein, “very sad for everybody involved.”
“Tragic for the poor women that were involved, sad for Harvey that [his] life is so messed up,” Allen said. “There’s no winners in that, it’s just very, very sad and tragic for those poor women that had to go through that.”
He also said he hoped that the allegations would lead to “some amelioration,” but cautioned, “You also don’t want it to lead to a witch hunt atmosphere, a Salem atmosphere, where every guy in an office who winks at a woman is suddenly having to call a lawyer to defend himself. That’s not right either.”
“But sure, you hope that something like this could be transformed into a benefit for people rather than just a sad or tragic situation,” Allen said.
Allen worked with Weinstein on a number of movies including 1994’s Bullets Over Broadway, 1995’s Mighty Aphrodite, 1996’s Everyone Says I Love You and 1998’s Celebrity, all of which were distributed by Miramax. Allen’s 2008 film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, was released by The Weinstein Company.
Allen has faced his own sexual assault controversy, accused of molesting his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow, which he’s repeatedly denied.
Still, others, like Allen’s son with Mia Farrow, and Dylan’s brother, Ronan Farrow, have supported Dylan’s allegations. Ronan Farrow is the author of the New Yorker exposé that revealed more alleged instances of sexual harassment and assault by Weinstein, including three women who accused the mogul of raping them.
Allen’s Wonder Wheel is being distributed by Amazon Studios. That company’s vp, Roy Price, has also been accused of sexual harassment and was this week suspended in the wake of a claim from one of the company’s producers.
