A day after The Weinstein Company board announced that co-chairman Harvey Weinstein was taking an indefinite leave of absence and that an independent investigation would look into allegations of sexual harassment, attorney Lisa Bloom announced this morning that she is leaving the Oscar winning producer's team.

@LisaBloom

I have resigned as an advisor to Harvey Weinstein.
My understanding is that Mr. Weinstein and his board are moving toward an agreement.

12:04 PM - Oct 7, 2017

Bloom had come under considerable criticism for her association with Weinstein, not least from her mother, attorney Gloria Allred, who released a statement saying she would have declined any offer to represent Weinstein. "I only represent those who allege that they are victims of sexual harassment. While I would not represent Mr. Weinstein, I would consider representing anyone who accused Mr. Weinstein of sexual harassment, even if it meant that my daughter was the opposing counsel."

Bloom's usual political compadres were no less damning. Actress Rose McGowan, one of the woman who has spoken out about Weinstein's harassment, tweeted "Et tu, Lisa Bloom?" in response to news that Mika Brzezinski wants out of a book deal with Weinstein Books.

And early this morning, actress Lena Dunham tweeted, "I'm awake feeling bummed & real peeved about Lisa Bloom if you were wondering whassup over here".
