“I have resigned as an advisor to Harvey Weinstein,” Bloom, 56, wrote on Twitter Saturday. “My understanding is that Mr. Weinstein and his board are moving toward an agreement.”ADDED: The NYT writes that board members of the company, Harvey's brother Bob and Lance Maerov, confronted Bloom after Bloom said she was going to put out “photos of several of the accusers in very friendly poses with Harvey after his alleged misconduct," which Maerov said would "backfire as it suggests they are exculpatory or negate any harm done to them through alleged action."
She did not say whether she plans to continue working with Weinstein on adapting her book about Trayvon Martin into a television show, which Bloom had planned to do through his company.
Maerov also accused Bloom of having a conflict of interest: “You have a commercial relationship with TWC via a TV deal so how can you possibly provide impartial advice to Harvey or address this group with any credibility?”
A third of the board members have resigned, and the rest have "hired an outside law firm to investigate the allegations."
The Times also tells us:
Lanny Davis, another adviser to Mr. Weinstein, is also no longer representing him, according to a person familiar with the matter. Mr. Davis, a lawyer and crisis counselor who served as special counsel to President Bill Clinton, declined Saturday to discuss his departure. But he and Mr. Weinstein had disagreed over how to handle the sexual harassment allegations, with Mr. Davis advising a more conciliatory tone and approach than Mr. Weinstein seemed willing to adopt....Lanny Davis. Why did he drop Weinstein? Too much connection back to the Clintons? I was surprised that I already had a Lanny Davis tag, and clicking back to old posts, I see that he was acting chair of the Clinton Foundation in 2015 when he was grilled by Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" over a $2.35 million contribution to the Clinton Foundation by the chairman of Uranium One, "that uranium company that the Russians wanted to buy," which Davis brushed off as "not major, even by any definition." Wallace asked Davis:
Do you think it was a coincidence all these Canadian mining executives are giving millions to the foundation, that a company with close ties to Vladimir Putin's government in Russia is giving half a million dollar speech? Do you think that's a coincidence that's happening while the Russian company that wants to buy Uranium One has business before the State Department? Do you think that's a coincidence?Sorry. I'm reminiscing about the 2016 presidential campaign... you know, the one about which there's been so much talk about "collusion" with the Russians.

You just can't make this stuff up.
Can we still make money off the dead body of Trayvon Martin?
Do you think Harvey asked Ms Bloom to watch him shower?
At 56? You think she'd say no?
Hands up, don't grope!
Lisa Bloom should have given the loathsome Harvey Weinstein a massage. It would have been less demeaning than issuing her pathetic statement.
She sold her soul for 30 pieces of silver, then her mother called.
Unless they can sell the white Hispanic (vs black Obama) myth, they would be better off not alienating their principle minority faction. I wonder how the baby hunt for Zimmerman and anyone remotely related to him was perceived by the Americans and Americans of Hispanic heritage specifically.
I bet Trayvon Martin dindunuffin in Ms Bloom's version of events.
Trayvon Martin - criminal, looks like Obama's son.
So therefore he is a victim.
I suspect Mr. Weinstein was not enamored with her defense of his indiscretions: "Yeah, he's guilty of everything, but he's a changed pig .... er..... man.".
Yeah, Gloria put the kibosh on it. Her brand was being tarnished by association.
Jesus, I hope this doesn't mean we aren't going to get a movie on the life of Trayvon.
Maybe Ms Bloom's grandma used the phrase Schanda fur di Goyim & when Ms Bloom looked it up in her Yiddish dictionary there was a picture of Harvey Weinstein.
Looks like Ol Harvey is done for. I bet that had his production company been doing better he would have survived this.
No one spoke out for how many years? I don't understand how that works. What has he been charged with? Is there an indictment? Not saying he didn't do what he's accused of, saying nothing is proven. Strange world Hollywood. Are people in Hollywood willing to put up with and do anything to get ahead?
You're gonna get a whole damned mini series.
She can now sell her story about Harvey. Trayvon is old news
Treyvon made literally dozens of mistakes and committed multiple crimes. Treyvon was the spawn of two worthless gangsters who had no use for him. Till they got paid.
Just defend Weinstein by saying he hasn't found the right woman.
A romcom challenge.
The Trayvon Martin Story will be Harvey Weinstein's redemption arc. Especially if it gets George Zimmerman killed.
Treyvon made literally dozens of mistakes and committed multiple crimes. Treyvon was the spawn of two worthless gangsters who had no use for him. Till they got paid.
Trayvon was a kid who did make some mistakes in the event, but I think you are thinking of Michael Brown, which is what Ferguson was about. Michael Brown's parents did seem exploitative of their son's death. Also Michael Brown's mistakes were more egregious. I don't recall either of Trayvon's parents trying to exploit their son's death.
No. I'm talking about Treyvon Martin. I'm well aware of the entire episode.
His parents did the whole circuit AND most importantly, got paid baby.
“I have resigned as an advisor to Harvey Weinstein”
Obviously the check cleared.
"Just defend Weinstein by saying he hasn't found the right woman."
Now that is funny.

You probably don't recall the gang tattoo on his father's neck, either. If Obama had a tattoo, it would look just like that.
Legal Insurrection and/or Talk Left can set you straight about the whole thing.
"Hands Up! Don't Harass!"
And Trayvon was a kid whose budding criminal career was cut short. You do know about the stolen jewelry he had in his possession at school, right?
I write a blog about the killing of Michael Brown. I have not worked on the blog for a while, but I intend to return to it.
The blog includes four articles I wrote about the killing of Trayvon Martin.

"adapting her book about Trayvon Martin into a television show"
What the hell?
Was Trayvon Martin going to be the sassy black neighbor, who occasionally pounds people's head into the cement sidewalk? Or was he going to be the Dennis the Menace type character who has to deal with grumpy old neighbor George Zimmerman?
I don't have a huge problem with those A list actresses "remaining silent" now. At some point it's just piling on and maybe we have reached it. The big problem I have with them is that they remained silent "then."
Lanny Davis is just a whore. And not one with a heart of gold. In fact even your average whore likely has more disinterested personal loyalty than Lanny. Lanny looks out for number 1 pure and simple.
To the other rail diving rats making various splashes, good bye.
The corruption of the American mainstream media and their good buddies the liberal establishment is astonishing, even to cynical me.
How old does that make her mother, Gloria Allred?
I remember being impressed that she had a husband. He is long gone.
michalel K: Gloria is 76 and Lisa Bloom is 56, so gloria was 20 when Lisa was born. interesting
No he will be the aspiring aeronautical engineering student, like famu gave him an honorary degree.
At the time I blogged about the media malpractice, carried out by NBC news, editing Zimmerman's words
Brian shelter makes an appearance

She wasn't hired to do any work. She was hired solely so that she'd be conflicted out from representing any of the accusers.
Her resignation statement is reported here:
http://deadline.com/2017/10/lisa-bloom-harvey-weinstein-1202184018/
IMHO, it reveals enough of her communications with Weinstein to waive the attorney-client privilege. Typical of the quality of Bloom's (and her mom's) legal savvy.
She did not say whether she plans to continue working with Weinstein on adapting her book about Trayvon Martin into a television show...
A show about that piece of shit?
