High-profile victims’ rights attorney Harvey Weinstein, according to a new book.
In a December 2016 memo, Bloom told the pervy producer she could “help you against the Roses of the world, because I have represented so many of them,” according to excerpts of “She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement,” published Sunday by The New York Times.
“We can place an article re her becoming increasingly unglued,” Bloom wrote about McGowan. “So that when someone Googles her this is what pops up and she’s discredited.”
Bloom worked behind the scenes with Weinstein — for $895 an hour — to quash investigations from reporters, according to the book from Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, which is out Tuesday.
The day before their bombshell October 2017 Times exposé on Weinstein was published, Bloom and the movie mogul went to the paper’s offices to slam several of his accusers, including actress Ashley Judd, as mentally unstable and unreliable, Kantor and Twohey claim.
Bloom also called up New Yorker reporter the Daily Beast has reported.
Shortly after excerpts of the book were tweeted out, McGowan responded by calling for Bloom to be disbarred.
“The evil that was perpetrated on me and others was mind bending and illegal,” the actress tweeted.
Bloom has said she “deeply regretted” representing Weinstein.
On Sunday, she released a new statement thanking Kantor and Twohey for “forcing me to confront the colossal mistake I made in working for Weinstein two years ago.”
