Report: Gloria Allred To Reveal Cain Accuser Today

Celebrity super-lawyer Gloria Allred is wading into the Herman Cain sexual harassment scandal, according to Radar.

The gossip magazine reports that Allred will stand with a woman Monday in New York who accused Cain of inappropriate behavior in the past.

“The woman, who will be the first to go public on Monday, sought Cain’s help with an employment issue and was allegedly sexually harassed by him. Allred and her client will discuss, in detail, what she alleges occurred with Cain.”

2. Again, does anyone know if this is one of the three women, or is it a fourth (new) woman?

[flpoljunkie]

3. No reporting yet on that.

[flpoljunkie]

8. MSNBC just reported she will be the fourth accuser.

9. Allred press conference will be at 1:30PM ET

4. I'm 'so' not surprised she's getting involved. nt

5. Oh, Lord . . .

I should have known she'd find her way into this . . .

12. I Wish Cain's Victim Would Have Found Another Lawyer

But it is what it is.

And like it is says in the Book Of Luke "what you do in the dark will be brought to the light."

6. Gloria Allred appears

and the story loses any credibility it once had. There are few publicity seekers better at killing a potential story than this glory hound.

7. I always tell prospective clients....

...If your lawyer shows up on TV to talk about your case, fire him/her.

10. I don't know enough about Allred to care. I care more about the victims and their allegations.

[flpoljunkie]

11. A non anonymous accuser will be more damaging to Cain

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

14. Yeah, but you and I both know that the Corporate Media will target Allred, not Cain, and

certainly not the allegations.

[Pirate Smile]

13. Exactly. This is going to help Cain and Republicans turn this into a joke.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. It Might Help Cain With His Tea Party Base

It isn't going to help him with women and swing voters. We can only be so lucky as to have him as their nominee...

[Pirate Smile]

16. I'm kind of torn on this because I'd LOVE for Cain to win the nomination & Obama would win in a

blowout. I think this may help him in the nomination fight but it is also such a circus & insulting to women so I can't enjoy it too much at the same time.
