The History Of Gloria Allred: From Fighting For The Whole Team To The Ho Team
IT'S TIME TO SPOTLIGHT ATTORNEY GLORIA ALLRED, famed justice seeker who's righting wrongs and wronging rights for aggrieved cheating "other" women everywhere.
Says Allred: "I take fire, and I give fire -- because I'm not a philosopher; I'm a warrior."
Don't hold it against her that three recent clients are the mistresses of Tiger Woods and Jesse James, outlaws in the state of matrimony. 'Cause even deceitful fameballs are entitled to legal representation under our beloved Bill of Rights, at least until the current Supreme Court finds a way to void it.
Allred was hired by Rachel Uchitel, popularly described by the media as Tiger's "No 1. Ho", and is believed to have negotiated a million dollar deal for Uchitel. But, really, who can really say what she banked, 'cause why would she settle for $1 million when $5 million is so much more?
And Allred also confirms that she represented several other of Tiger's playmates. Now she's been hired by as-yet unnamed mistress No. 3 to "Monster" Jesse James, whose pockets, sniff sniff, aren't as deep as Tiger's. What will she have to settle for this time?
Allred, a Philly native, made a name for herself by tackling high-profile women's rights cases even though, increasingly, she just schedules and unscheduled press conferences for a living.
According to Wikipedia, she's sued the Boys Scouts of America for practicing "gender apartheid," sued a drugstore chain for keeping separate boys and girls' toy sections, and hit TV producer Aaron Spelling with a discrimination suit when he fired actress Hunter Tylo for being pregnant.
In the 70s, she also successfully sued the Friars Club in Beverly Hills, an exclusive private club that excluded professional women solely on their sex.
"Fear is the weapon that is used to keep women in their place; when they break out of it, it’s wonderful,"’ Allred told Swindle. "I literally have women come in my office with a little baby voice, and after they know what their rights are and decide they're going to do something about it, their voice drops. Literally, you hear an adult voice coming out that they may not have ever heard in themselves, or maybe never used. They really have become a woman.
"It's very exciting, and it's very empowering, and it's very contagious.”
All in all, a meaty contribution to women's legal rights. At 68, let's hope she has some fight left in her to help the whole team, not just the ho team.
