A new woman alleging sexual harassment by presidential hopeful Herman Cain will break her silence at a news conference with her powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred Monday afternoon in New York City, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

The embattled GOP nominee has admitted that several women who worked at the National Restaurant Association during his tenure as president of the organization received settlements. Politico has reported that the settlements were given because of sexual harassment allegations.

The woman, who will be the first to go public on Monday, sought Cain's help with an employment issue and was allegedly sexually harassed by him. Allred and her client will discuss, in detail, what she alleges occurred with Cain.

[qanda]

1. It would probably be better received without Allred by her side

But we'll take it.

[NNN0LHI]

2. A new woman alleging sexual harassment ...

Does that make four? I am losing count here.

Is radaronline a trustworthy source?

Don

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Hard to say. Bet it's the third one, the one who didn't actually

file a suit.

[mwb970]

3. But Cain says we are not to talk about it any more!

Shouldn't we obey?

[seabeyond]

4. i missed when we went to several women receiving settlements. nt

[Tx4obama]

16. Two women received settlements from the NRA

and then a third woman told the lawyer, Mr. Bennett, that she was also harassed but that she had not filed a complaint.
And also there was the conservative radio guy that said two of his employees were sexually harassed.
And another person that attended a NRA event said that he witnessed someone sexually harassed by Cain.

[seabeyond]

18. i have heard all that. but that does not make "several settlements". one may argue

5 or 6 could be several.... complaints. though, 5 or 6 is a handful to me, not several

[Tx4obama]

20. Well, THREE could be considered several

we've heard of TWO settlements so far - and there might be one more out there.

[PoliticAverse]

5. You had me until 'Gloria Allred'....

I think it rather unlikely Cain will be the next President of the US.
He'll have a fine career playing victim for $20,000+/speech.

[Tx4obama]

8. President Obama WILL BE reelected in 2012. n/t

[Tx4obama]

6. Gloria Allred just needs to GO AWAY, she is NOT heloing women's issues at all n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. I was just thinking, if it was me, who would I go to to reinforce my

credibility. At first I thought, a stodgy, conservative male. But then, they'd find he had some tie to a Repub campaign. Gloria's
probably a liberal so then they would say it was the left wing hollywood people behind it. Hmmm....guess I'd try to find an obscure,
non-political person who never gave a dime to anyone's campaign.

[Bluenorthwest]

30. That is such bull. Of course

Gloria filed the first lawsuit in California challenging the denial of marriage licenses as being unconstitutional. She took the case pro bono for Robin Tyler and Diane Olson and Rev. Troy Perry and his husband Phillip Ray De Blieck. This lead to thye California Supreme Court ruling in favor of equal marriage rights for lesbian and gay couples. Of course that bugs the 'God is in the Mix' anti equality 'moderates' and Republicans...Rush can not stand her, for example.
She is one of the most successful lawyers in the nation and she has argued many cases that have done great things for those of us without full standing in society.
Here is a quote from her that I like:
“More than anything, in the face of adversity and injustice, I want you to overcome your fear and be fearless, find your voice and not be voiceless, exert your power and not be powerless. I want you to be able to fight back and win justice for yourself, your children, your family, and your community.”
Pretty awful, eh?

[Tx4obama]

31. The main thing I know about her is ...

her obsessive focus on the Nadia Suleman case.
She over stepped her bounds and invaded Nadia's life/home.

Sorry, I do not hold Ms. Alred in high esteem at the moment.
I've only seen her as a media wh#@$
Maybe she isn't but that's how she looks to me.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. +1

[customerserviceguy]

7. No modern farce is complete

without an appearance by Gloria Allred. I guess she's going to have to explain why she didn't pursue her claim many years ago, even though she knew others did.

[CTyankee]

34. Your first sentence is pure gold!

This whole thing is a farce.

It's beginning to make Kim Kardashian look like a Rhodes Scholar...

[Syrinx]

10. Doesn't matter

Anyone think he's going to be the nominee anyway? He's a joke.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. No. That game sat night sucked big time

I was out-of-pocket -- did everyone criticize the decision to go for a field goal instead of punting in OT?

[trumad]

13. You never punt in college OT

It's suicide.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. huh? instead you hand over great field position

to the opponent when all they need is an easy field goal??

[trumad]

19. Sorry--

but if you don't score---all it takes is a score by the opposing team and you're done.

Alabama missed a 52 yard field goal.

From there LSU drove the ball to the 7, and then kicked the winning field goal.

Point is--- you don't score a point on your first possession--- you leave yourself with a huge risk.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. Yep, fully understand that concept

BUT there is a line to draw between taking a stupid risk with a shitty kicker and handing the ball over w/excellent position.

[trumad]

35. I hear you...and somewhat agree...

my thinking is if they drove from the 42 to the 7, they could have done the same from the 20 after a punt into field goal range.

What if the punter shanked it---or it got blocked, or it is run back 30 yards.

It's extremely hard to place a punt near the goal line....

Again--- I understand your point---I'm just thinking from a tactical decision, it was best to try the field goal. mho

[itsallhappening]

39. In OT, field position ALWAYS starts at the 25 yard line.

No team has ever punted in college OT and never will.

You're thinking of pro football rules.

[taterguy]

25. Opposing team starts on your 25 yard line even if you punt in OT

So you gain no advantage by punting.

Besides, punting is only for teams that lack self-confidence and those teams don't end up as national champions.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. the advantage gained would have been 25 yds in this case.nt

[itsallhappening]

38. There's no punting in college OT. Ever.

No matter what you do, the other team starts from your 25 yardline.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

42. But they didn't, did they? If LSU started on the 25, I must have

missed a HUGE play...for them to get all the way down close to their endzone

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Herman will tell them to go away, and that's that.

:rofl:

[Chipper Chat]

15. I'll tune in to Fox News for it. I'm certain they will carry it live.

:rofl:

[liberal N proud]

21. As long as the Koch Brothers are pushing Cain, he will stay in the race

And keep trying NOT to talk about this.

[Tx4obama]

23. And as long as Cain keep saying he will NOT talk about it - the media will ...

keep asking Cain about the accusations.

It's going to keep snowballing into a bigger and bigger story as the days go on ...

:popcorn:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. yep...exactly like the Weiner deal. But, Cain is so narcissistic he

probably won't give up.

[beac]

40. Imagine his surprise when they finally duck and cover from their brother from another mother.

Won't happen for a while yet-- he's still got some useful left in his idiocy, but ol'Herm will eventually discover that it's dough before "bros."

[Vinca]

22. The circus continues.

[Tx4obama]

28. Yep. Keep the popcorn handy.

:popcorn:

[MilesColtrane]

29. What is "9 9 9"?

Herman Cain exaggerating his "physique" while sexually harassing an employee.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. like what someone said. It's really Nein, nein, nein. No no no from women victims. nt

[Nancy Waterman]

36. I have been waiitng for this

It will make the story much more real and give it much greater impact.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

37. Is this one of the three women that we know about, or is this the fourth woman?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

41. MSNBC finally reporting...they are saying it's a 4th woman nt
