Attorney Lisa Bloom said Saturday that she is stepping down as an adviser to film executive Harvey Weinstein amid mounting sexual harassment allegations against the veteran producer.
“I have resigned as an advisor to Harvey Weinstein,” Bloom, an lawyer who has represented a number of women in high-profile sexual harassment cases, wrote on Twitter.
“My understanding is that Mr. Weinstein and his board are moving toward an agreement,” she added.

Her resignation came two days after The New York Times published a bombshell report detailing allegations of sexual harassment that stretch back decades. Weinstein has reportedly reached at least eight settlements with women.
Bloom has represented a number of women in sexual harassment cases against major public figures, such as former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly and actor Bill Cosby. She came under scrutiny for her work with Weinstein after the Times report.
