It Shouldn't Surprise Anyone That Lisa Bloom Is Representing Harvey Weinstein

13. Being famous doesn't pay the bills

Bloom doesn't seem to do a whole lot of representation of victims in actual litigation.

She does a lot of TV appearances with women making claims, generally for the purpose of influencing pre-litigation settlement proposals, or for the purpose of playing the "I dare you to engage in defamation by denying it" game when the allegations are denied.

I'm not sure you understand what she does. Her work is primarily either (a) for wealthy people who have been accused of things in the media, or (b) for persons who have a claim against wealthy people that they would prefer not to be accused in the media of having done. The rest is primarily theatrics, which is the "famous" part.

The "TV lawyer" schtick is not about issue advocacy or actually litigating anything.
