Per Twitter Lisa Bloom Press Conference canceled.

[nolabear]

Just saw Chris Hayes' tweet. Bloom says her client is living in fear and is afraid to show her face.

OY.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

1. Statement on Trump accuser becoming too afraid to show her face. "She is living in fear," nt

[nolabear]

4. *sigh* This isn't good. I feel for her but it's not good.

[You will Atone]

5. Who can blame her, it would not be surprising at all

to find out she has been repeatedly threatened by the trump army.

[Farmgirl1961]

2. Well -- that kind just took the wind out of our sails

It seems kind of fishy...all that hype and last minute cancelling.

[JI7]

3. lol

[jberryhill]

25. That's been the history of this saga since April

For $1M, you can get the video from a Jerry Springer producer whose response to an interview by Jezebel was "suck my dick."

30. Did it? How so?

Trump and his Russian trolls are threatening people with their life and their families lives. Evidently Trump supporters are so sick in the head, that if it takes violence to shut someone up they will. The fact that she is too scared to come out of hiding BECAUSE of Trump and his private army will garner her a huge amount of sympathy.

Already has.

6. Good grief

Maybe after the election.

[PearliePoo2]

7. Well shit. This sucks.

She must be scared out of her mind. Damnit.

[cilla4progress]

8. great....

[DeminPennswoods]

9. she's been fearful all along

She's said from the beginning she's fearful of Trump and/or Epstein, thus the jane doe lawsuit. I believe the original lawsuit she filed herself was filed under a different psuedonym.

[Shrike47]

10. Sorry, but I think this whole thing is a con job. This is an effort to get money for speaking.

[nolabear]

16. Good God...

You have a right to that opinion but there are far better ways than to subject yourself to the kind of abuse and death threats that are coming out of this. It's the oldest thing in the world to claim "she just wants the attention." How can anyone ever counter that?

[sarae]

22. I agree.

And yet it's such a common accusation, which is bizarre. Why would any woman want to put herself in that position unless she was serious about seeking justice?

I can't fathom putting myself in that position for shits and giggles, or even for money. The blowback isn't worth that.

[jberryhill]

26. The price has been $1M for months

The Jerry Springer producer who was using a fake name to sell a video of her story for $1M only managed to get $39,000 out of this so far.

[sunonmars]

11. most probably been threatened....

[Coyotl]

14. That much is in the complaint, life threatened at the time of the rape.

[nolabear]

12. Numerous death threats, apparently. Because this is how they roll.

[sarae]

13. This makes me so angry.

Trump and his idiot followers trying to bully their way to winning.

[renate]

15. why doesn't she go on CNN or MSNBC and have them pixilate her face and change her voice?

I must be missing something, because it seems like a no-brainer... so much safer and easier than a press conference.

[nolabear]

19. We'll see. They said rescheduled so perhaps they will do that.

[mothra1orbit]

21. Presumably Trump knows who she is

Or at least could easily find out.

[Thrill]

18. Paid off

Guess Trump finally coughed it up

[One Black Sheep]

20. Wow, talk about letting the air out of the room.

Ouch, what a crushing disappointment.

[Charlotte Little]

24. I'm a woman...

and will say that this was a very bad outcome on this.

I feel for Jane Doe and believe she exists and believe her given the monster Trump admits to being. But this will not bode well if they try to bring this back out again before the election. Lisa Bloom is to blame, IMO. She should have made absolutely certain this woman was willing to come forward no matter what before announcing it.

What a bummer on all fronts.

[Funtatlaguy]

27. Lisa Bloom should have been prepared for this....

The woman could have stayed behind a screen in silhouette and even used a voice disguiser.

[renate]

32. yup

Maybe she really truly believed she was prepared to go public, but it does seem as though having a backup plan would have been a good idea. Even a definitive rescheduling in a more secure location would have been better than a vague postponement.

[mrsv]

31. If she received death threats...

Someone already knows her face...not to be insensitive...but I think maybe her lawyer postponed for more media attention. Jane Doe deserves to have her story heard. M$M was paying much attention..I think this will pique their interest...
