PROBLEM: Bloom was quick to add that she’s not part of any litigation against the Times. Another attorney  Charles Harder — who represented wrestler Hulk Hogan in the defamation suit that led to the demise of the website Gawker last year — is handling that part of  Weinstein ’s response  she said.
But she said the newspaper gave  Weinstein  48 hours to respond to a long list of accusations and that it refused to grant  him  more time when “we begged for it.” (A Times spokeswoman said  Weinstein  was given adequate time to respond to “events  he  had first-hand knowledge of” and that the newspaper had included “all relevant comments from  Mr. Weinstein ” in its story. She added  “Mr. Weinstein and  his  lawyer . . . have not pointed to any errors or challenged any facts in our story.”)
Bloom said her role over the past year or so has been to counsel  Weinstein  about his workplace behavior  especially his treatment of women. She said she has had “frank talks” with him about his legendary temper  his use of profanity in public settings and his propensity for “loose talk about sex” around women he employs or has worked with.
In a statement Thursday  she said  Weinstein  “is reading books and going to therapy.  He  is an old dinosaur learning new ways.”
Bloom said Weinstein hired her about a year ago after he and the rapper Jay-Z jointly bought the TV rights to her 2014 book  “Suspicion Nation ” about the Trayvon Martin case. She said she began speaking with him at that time about long-standing rumors in Hollywood about him. “I don’t hold back  and I didn’t ” she said. “ Harvey  can take it  and  he  did.  He  said  ‘I’ve been stupid. I’m a dinosaur  and I’ve got to change.’ I thought  ‘Perhaps I can do something to make a difference.’ ”

PROBLEM: The unexpectedly strong showing could lead to defections away from the centre-left party led by  President Maithripala Sirisena   a partner in the countryâs coalition government  analysts said  creating instability in the legislature.
Rajapaksaâs Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP)  a party formed by breakaway members of  Sirisenaâ  party  has secured 97 local bodies out of results for 139 councils so far released as at 0650 GMT. The UNP took control of 18 councils and SLFP six.
The president and his supporters have opposed or neutralised many of the UNP reforms. Under the constitution   Sirisena  cannot dissolve the parliament until early 2020  while the parliament needs a two-third majority to impeach the president.
 Sirisena  has said  he  wants to take charge of the economy  which is currently handled by the UNP  and has blamed the prime ministerâs party for failing to tackle corruption.
