Well, lookie here.
It turns out that Carolyn Heldman, the untenured Occidental College associate professor accusing Fox News’s Eric Bolling of sexual misconduct, was recently represented by Lisa Bloom in sexual misconduct claims against Bill O’Reilly.
It is not confirmed but certainly likely that Bloom is representing Heldman in her claims against Bolling as well. As for the claims against O’Reilly, according to Variety magazine:
Attorney Lisa Bloom, who represents Wendy Walsh and other accusers of Bill O’Reilly, declared victory on the news that the Fox News host will not return to the network.
“This is what happens when women speak our truth: we can slay dragons,” she said in a statement to Variety. “I am very proud to have stood with my brave clients who stood up for themselves and all the silenced women. Fox News should have fired him in 2004 when Andrea Mackris spoke out, but at least they did it now. They did it because we persisted.”
Bloom also represents an unidentified African American woman who called into a company hotline on Tuesday to claim that O’Reilly engaged in sexual and racial harassment, and a third client, Caroline Heldman, a professor at Occidental College, called in to the hotline to make claims against O’Reilly on Wednesday. Bloom also said that New York state authorities should investigate Fox News no matter what happened with O’Reilly. She had requested that they launch an inquiry into sexual and racial harassment at the network.
Bloom made a point to take a public “victory lap” after O’Reilly departed from Fox News:

Bloom, the leftist, notorious, publicity-seeking attorney daughter of leftist, notorious, publicity-seeking attorney Gloria Allred, was in the news recently as well for another matter. She claimed “comedian” Kathy Griffin was a victim of bullying after Griffin actually faced consequences (i.e., being fired, at least temporarily, by CNN) for posting a picture of herself with a fake bloody severed head of President Trump.
Bloom made a point in her statement to Variety to use the phrasing “we persisted,” The phrase “she persisted” has become a sort of rallying cry for those fancying themselves “feminists” since earlier this year when fake-Native American Elizabeth “Geroni-Mao” Warren was reprimanded during confirmation hearings for now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions for her persistence in her position that decorum rules for the Senate floor ought not apply to her.
Apparently, Heldman did not properly mentally process the memo that persistence is now supposed to be an extremely positive quality. Among her charges in a Facebook rant against Fox News were that former Major League Baseball star Lenny Dykstra (who was a mere guest who was not then and not at any point employed by Fox News) “persistently asked me to a party.”
Chelsea Clinton, in another milestone in her peripatetic career, has exploited the “She Persisted” phenomenon to reinvent herself yet again, this time as a children’s book author, with a book called, of course, She Persisted.
Bloom appears to be a major fan of Chelsea Clinton:
Thank you @ChelseaClinton for pointing out what an insult Trump’s “dump” comment is to the hardworking staff who make it beautiful every day https://t.co/e4eVi1avhO

Other recent tweets by Bloom are quite telling of her overall mindset:
Those who believe anti-white bias is our biggest racial problem should read @DrIbram‘s Stamped from the Beginning.
Or, Suspicion Nation. https://t.co/3HReTgL2aH— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) August 4, 2017
White people incorrectly think anti-white bias is biggest racial problem we have. White people, we are the problem.https://t.co/W65kie8I1e

This is consistent with his appointments being almost entirely white and male and his overt bigotry against Muslims and Mexicans.

Trump is exactly the white supremacist he showed himself to be during the campaign. Now our tax dollars will defend white rights. Hideous.

I’m a civil rights lawyer. Every day my team fights real civil rights battles for women, people of color, LGBT folks. Whites? Please.

Remember that the majority of Trump voters think discrimination against white people is more prevalent than against black folks.

After discriminating against LGBTs, Muslims & immigrants, Trump wants DOJ civil rights lawyers to protect whites. https://t.co/6xikC7PLAR
