Nolte: Lisa Bloom Is the Villainess in Ronan Farrow’s Superb ‘Catch and Kill

And she’s Gloria Allred’s daughter.

Breitbart:

There are plenty of villains in Ronan Farrow’s excellent book Catch and Kill, but there is only one villainess: attorney Lisa Bloom.

The villains, of course, have gotten all the attention: Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, NBC News executives Andrew Lack and Noah Oppenheim. And Farrow makes an airtight case against them with damning facts, damning evidence, the naming of names, and on-the-record sources.

Farrow also targets President Trump, but his straight-forward approach only burnishes his credibility. Although Farrow is obviously no Trump fan and does believe the billionaire businessman worked with the National Enquirer to catch and kill embarrassing stories, Farrow also admits that some of those stories were caught and killed because they were not true. To his credit, Farrow  reports that his search to find out the truth about a rape allegation against Trump proved to be fruitless, as did a bogus claim Trump fathered a child out of wedlock.

I was mostly struck, though, by the snippets about Lisa Bloom. Maybe that’s because all the bombshells about the men have already received a ton of attention with the book’s release.

No, it’s not only that…

Although she only pops up a few times, Bloom’s behavior is so shocking to the conscience, these were the only sections I marked on the off-chance I would want to return to them. And here I am returning to them, because two weeks and one wicked cold later, I cannot get what she did out of my head.

By now, everyone who’s followed the Weinstein story knows Bloom served as his attorney for a while, and that some of Weinstein’s victims have credibly accused her of launching a disgusting campaign to destroy their credibility. What’s more, during this same time, we discovered Bloom was in the employ of another credibly-accused sexual abuser, disgraced former Amazon Studios chief Roy Price.

In fact, I’m the one at Breitbart who extensively covered Bloom’s connection to Price and Weinstein, so I already knew this going into Farrow’s book and was still so stunned by her behavior I bookmarked those sections. more
