Gloria Allred Is the Woman Behind the Other Women

Gloria Allred hasn't always been associated with "the other woman." The University of Pennsylvania alum (Go Quakers!) made a name for herself with very high profile pro-lady discrimination cases. She fought against the Boy Scouts of America for excluding 11-year-old Katrina Yeaw. She fought for actress Hunter Tylo when Aaron Spelling fired her for getting pregnant. And she successfully sued the all-male Friars Club in Beverly Hills for excluding female members.
But nowadays, Allred is best known as the lady lawyer mistresses go to when they may or may not want to go public with their private indiscretions. In fact, Jesse James' as-yet-unnamed fourth mistress has already retained her services.
Her first foray into a nationally-publicized love triangle came in 2004 when Amber Frey, mistress of wife murderer Scott Peterson, enlisted Allred to protect her against an onslaught of media attention.
Allred must have really caught the bug with Amber, because these days she has become synonymous with protecting the interests of women who have slept with other women's husbands. In the early days of the Tiger Woods scandal, mistress number one, Rachel Uchitel, solicited Allred's services. Allred organized, and then abruptly canceled, a press conference for Uchitel, who has remained pretty much mum on the scandal ever since.
Former porn star Joslyn James also signed on as an Allred client, allowing the self-described "most famous woman attorney in the nation" the opportunity to blast Woods in the media, declaring he needs "lying rehab" and "betrayal rehab" in addition to his therapy for sex addiction.
"The woman gets results, and now those results come with cash. She -- allegedly -- got Rachel Uchitel a million dollars. Who knows how much she's negotiating for Josyln James? She's smart and willing to take these high-profile cases," says 'Cult of Celebrity' author Cooper Lawrence.
Now, one of the women associated this week's serial cheater, Jesse James, has secured Allred's services. Allred informed
Radar Online that her client is a "beautiful model and businesswoman" who had a "three year intimate relationship with Jesse James." Allred also said that her client had not fully decided whether or not to come forward and disclose her relationship with actress Sandra Bullock's husband.
"He pursued her and had strong feeling for her. She is in the process of trying to decide if she will come forward. She has proof of their relationship, including hundreds of text messages, e-mails and photos. The relationship JUST RECENTLY ENDED after the scandal broke," Allred continued.
"Gloria Allred is the new Johnnie Cochran for hookers and porn stars who bed celebrities. These women go to her because she has a track record of making money for anyone involved in a scandal," explains trial attorney and divorce lawyer Stacy Schneider, author of '
He Had It Coming: How to Outsmart Your Husband and Win Your Divorce.' "Gloria gets these ladies great deals, whether it's paid media publicity, photo spreads or interviews or lucrative contracts to keep their mouths shut. The men get nervous when Gloria is hired because they know she is media savvy and will drag them through the mud if it means a pay day for her clients."
But the question remains -- why get a lawyer, particularly a celebrity lawyer, if you have no intention of engaging the media with your story? Our bet is that this woman comes forward by the end of the month. And with Allred spinning her statements, we're sure she'll be playing the victim and not the temptress.
"Gloria Allred is making a fortune off these cheating scandals. I am sure she is laughing all the way to the bank, even as her colleagues criticize her tawdry client list and her recent dry spell of handling any cases of serious legal merit," Schneider says.

Gloria Allred . Helping Gold Diggers reach their goals for two decades now . What a fine example she sets for the young women of today
Who is Gloria Alred? She's one of biggest disgraces of the legal profession. She is so obviously a publicity whore. Maybe that's why she seeks to defend whores of a different sort.
And to her backwards attempt at being some sort of feminist, she's she's done nothing but draw attention to the very women other women should choose NOT to be like.
Gloria is a snake in the grass if there ever was one, not only truly ugly in all senses of the word, but an embarrassement to the law profession, and for that fact, the human race.
She stinks!
Her Mother
You can't get mad at her for representing these low moral woman. If she doesn't do it another lawyer will. Her percentages (from the cases) are enough to make her think she made the right choice; she probably figures why let someone else make all of that money. The publicity is a bonus too.
Gloria Allred is nothing more than a Garden Variety Bottom feeding Social Ambulance Chaser.

I couldn't have said it any better myself.
Perfectly said and so very true!!!! I wish she would just go away. Basically, she is am embarrassment to all women!
I forgot to add that she should take her daughter Lisa Bloom with her also, she is just as bad and is exactly like mommie dearest!!
HILL I AGREE

Exactly. A vulgar buzzard picking on the bones of whomever fell down. There is as special place in hell for vicious opportunists such as Gloria Allred.
This was perfectly stated and she is an embarassement to women!
ABSOLUTELY--WHITE TRASH-LAWYERS-DOCTORS & POLITICIANS ARE WORSE THAN BOTTOM FEEDERS
Love & Admire Gloria Allred - always have.

So, you must be one of the dirty wh#res who sleeps with other people's husbands. Only someone like that would admire a woman who portrays the money hungry mistresses as innocent victims. You are sleeping with a married man, how can you be innocent????
i think she is praising these women and what they did. they knew that these men were married and they knew what they were doing so they are just as guilty and should not get any money. i mean is everyone so blind as to see these women kept all the emails and crap just to do this. i am not saying the men were right to cheat but i dont ocnndone the women for being with the mne knowing they were married. its sad about this world. what a mess.
