It's so reliable now that it's nearly a law of physics: when a scandal generated by celebrities hits its salacious peak, celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred enters the fray.
Allred's latest engagement is likely to bring more tabloid juice to the already pretty kooky cast of characters surrounding the David Petraeus scandal. Allred will represent Jill Kelley's twin, Natalie Khawam, who appears to share the same elitist political ambitions and spotty personal finance history as her sister.

Gloria once again gets maligned. The sexism in this whole story is unbelievable.

(41,986 posts)I take it she's a high profile lawyer? If she's female, defending a female anywhere near a 'sex scandal' it's going to be bad.

(17,055 posts)she was a rape victim when she was younger and she is also a huge feminist. That's part of the reason I thought our group would be interested.

(110,159 posts)kelly seems to be peripheral. and for the whole kid issue to come in, hearing little of the facts, i could see why kelly would be effected. not to mention how it would effect her career.
but, i really do not know much about the kellys issue. i have not been following that at all.

(17,055 posts)female lawyer down. And I note how Gloria represents tons of women.

(110,159 posts)but, there is another thread on broadwell and texasgal was saying some shit, what they were saying.
crazy, ingrained stuff.
i do like allred. especially since we had a post on her about 3, 4 months ago and there were a couple posters that were well familiar with her. one had met her and had a lot of inside about the woman. i always accepted general opinion of her, without knowledge. once i got more info on the woman, that was not so slanted, i really started respecting, appreciating her and it took me back to once again, .....
why the hell am i allowing these anti woman, anti feminist people tell me what woman to listen to. tell me what woman to dismiss.
this woman kicks my ass in accomplishments.
damn right i am going to hold her up.
speak out allred, always, and i am there.
