“I feel equipped to help you against the Roses of the world, because I have represented so many of them,” Bloom wrote in a memo to Weinstein, before outlining a plan for how to undermine and intimidate accusers, or make them look like liars. “We can place an article re her becoming increasingly unglued,” Bloom suggested for McGowan, “so that when someone Googles her this is what pops up and she’s discredited.

McGowan, who has now read the Times excerpt, said in a statement to Variety that Bloom should be immediately disbarred. “Her email is staggering. Staggering!” she said. “This woman should never work again.” Bloom has also tweeted an apology to the women she worked to discredit.
