Gloria Allred defends the use of secret settlements in sexual harassment cases following an awards season screening for the upcoming film 'Bombshell,' about sexual harassment at Fox News.
On Sunday, Lionsgate held a “tastemaker” screening of its new film “Bombshell,” about the women who called out sexual harassment at Fox News. It was a typical awards season event, featuring a Q&A with the movie’s stars — Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie — and a guest list peppered with influencers whose endorsement might help give the film traction.
In the case of Harvey Weinstein, Kantor and Twohey found, Allred’s firm negotiated a $125,000 settlement for one actress in 2004 — 13 years before Weinstein’s pattern of alleged predation came to light.But at the “Bombshell” event, Allred said she was unbothered by the negative press. “It hasn’t been intense for me at all. I know what I’m doing is right,” she said, moments after posing with two middle-aged female party guests who had asked for a photograph.
New York Times staff writers Megan Twohey, left, and Jodi Kantor address colleagues in the newsroom after winning a Pulitzer Prize.last week — that she never pressures her clients into accepting settlements.
“There’s nothing wrong with being paid to represent a client,” she said. “They get paid to write their stories for the New York Times, last time I checked. They didn’t do it for free, did they? I don’t criticize them because they’re getting paid to do a story or sell their book. Fine, God bless them. I hope they make a lot of money. But unfortunately for them, they don’t understand the practice of law.
“And I always believe — and I said this about O.J. Simpson many years ago — he will be the cause of his own destruction. That’s what happened with Bill Cosby. That’s what happened with Harvey Weinstein. That’s what happened with Jeffrey Epstein. R. Kelly. It’s within them. They will fall.”
