Lisa Bloom is working with Epstein survivors now. An absolutely parasitic hollowed out soul who would sell out everyone except her mother, Gloria Allred, in order to further her career and/or line her pockets.
Edward Helmore of @guardian wrote this fawning story on Lisa Bloom a few weeks ago that had me seeing red. It briefly mentions her childhood sexual abuse in a blatant attempt to invoke victim status as cover for her misdeeds.

Sharing that Lisa Bloom is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse isn't my issue with the @guardian. It's how the topic is framed within a piece that is ostensibly about her connection and identification with the Jeffrey Epstein victims she represents.
Edward Helmore's story isn't really about Bloom's victim/survivor status. It's a PR fluff story which blatantly tries to redeem her by making her appear less villainous because she has experienced abuse.
I'm sorry Bloom experienced such a horrific violation. However, given her survivor status, she of all people knows the tactics perpetrators of sexual assault will use in order to silence and oppress their victims.
Lisa Bloom isn't merely a rape apologist and faux women's advocate. She is a lawyer who will use any skills she has in order to protect a serial rapist like Harvey Weinstein.
Claiming to be a staunch advocate for victims while actively working to silence and destroy them makes her extremely dangerous and a threat to any survivors who come in contact with her.
If there is one thing in the world that will set me off, it is a person who supports perpetrators of sexual assault while simultaneously claiming to be an advocate for women. I have called out other women for this hypocrisy, but Lisa Bloom takes the cake
It is my most fervent hope that any survivor in need of legal representation steers clear of Lisa Bloom and all television networks cease to have her on their shows as a victims' rights advocate and legal expert.
I'm grateful that Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey have written their book and exposed Lisa Bloom for what she really is: a viper willing to be sold to the highest bidder to inflict maximum damage on victims of sexual violence, survivors' rights be damned.
