Gloria Allred


Gloria Rachel Allred is a feminist American lawyer noted for taking high-profile and often controversial cases.On June 15, 2011, Allred appeared at a press conference with former pornographic actress Ginger Lee in regard to Representative Anthony Weiner allegedly coaching her to lie on his behalf in relation to a sexting scandal.
On October 18, 2011, Allred won court approval to represent nine former middle-aged cocktail waitresses who were fired from their jobs at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey after they "did not look good enough" in new uniforms modeled after 1920s-era Flapper outfits. Resorts had sought to bar Allred from the discrimination lawsuit, arguing in court papers that her “flamboyant and headline-grabbing antics” would add nothing to the case.
On November 7, 2011, Allred appeared at a press conference with a Chicago woman who alleged that Herman Cain grabbed her in a sexually aggressive way when she sought his help after losing her job at the National Restaurant Association in the late 1990s. She formerly co-hosted a radio talkshow with Mark Taylor on KABC in Los Angeles. She also served as a panelist on the 1990 revival of television game show To Tell the Truth.[citation needed] She made two cameos as herself on the 2001 film Rat Race.
On September 12, 2011 Allred debuted in the court TV show "We the People With Gloria Allred", a show using actors to reenact real-life case scenarios that are scripted.
