Lisa Bloom's Mom

[erpowers]

I just learned that Gloria Allred is Lisa Bloom's mom. I was looking at the twitter feed of Joy Reid and saw a tweet that mentioned Allred as Bloom's mom. Did anyone else at DU know this information?

1. I thought it was pretty common knowledge, but I was a 'Court TV' addict so that's probably why.

[Thinkingabout]

2. I just found this information recently.

3. I've known this for years. Lisa Bloom is pretty open about it. She also owns AVVO.com, which is an

excellent site for people to ask attorneys legal questions and get quick answers. They're pretty good.

4. I saw them together on CNN last night. OMG, their facial features, expressions are identical...

I didn't know it before, but I would have been asking, seeing them there together.

5. Yes.

They were both on the old Court TV channel quite a bit. Allred was well known for supporting women clients before her daughter came to prominence. She (Allred) represented Amber Frey during the Scott Peterson trial.

Two National Treasures.

However, there are several posters on DU who have repeatedly trashed Gloria over the years.

iirc Gloria was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 2008 for Obama.

10. Gloria was also a delegate for Hillary according to right wing news sites. They're claiming that

Allred bringing forth accusers is some sort of plot within the DNC

8. They reference it every time they are on together

And Lisa calls Gloria "Mama" whenever she tweets about her.
