In a post on her private Facebook page, McGowan accused Lisa Bloom of going to her literary agent in an attempt to get the former “Charmed” star to speak positively of Weinstein. McGowan claims that she was offered $6 million to stop speaking out against Weinstein right up until the night before the explosive New York Times article detailing the assaults was released. She refused. She revealed that a former Weinstein attorney named Charles Herder and Bloom met with McGowan’s attorney to discuss what the Weinstein team was going to do to McGowan if she continued to tell the truth about him. McGowan went on to write that it would never have occurred to her to ask for money, however, the attorney back in 1997 was confident she would never win a lawsuit against Weinstein because she had done a sex scene in a movie. She claimed that was the reason she took the $100,000. In a statement to Buzzfeed News, Lisa Bloom denied the allegations that she offered McGowan $6 million. Bloom has characterized her decision to represent Harvey Weinstein as a “colossal mistake.”
