THE BLOOM FIRM WINS $8.4 MILLION JURY VERDICT FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT VICTIM ELIZABETH TAYLOR
Statement of Attorney Lisa Bloom:
My brave client Elizabeth Taylor has been fighting a sexual harassment and sexual assault case since 2015 when she complained to human resources about her boss, Alki David at FilmOn.TV in Beverly Hills, California. In early 2017, The Bloom Firm filed a lawsuit on her behalf and has been fighting for Elizabeth ever since. On December 12, 2023, after two weeks of trial at the Los Angeles Superior Court in Pomona, I am pleased to announce total 12-0 victory on all legal claims, as the jury awarded her a total of $8.4 million to compensate her for the significant emotional injuries caused to her, and to punish the defendants, Alki David and his companies FilmOn.tv and Hologram USA for their wrongful acts. This is one of the biggest sexual harassment verdicts of the year and is a strong statement that the jury believed Elizabeth, and held Mr. David and his companies accountable.
To victims of abuse who don’t think they could fight their case for years and years, Ms. Taylor says, “Stand up for your rights and your truth, and you will get the justice you deserve.” My law partner Arick Fudali, and Bloom Firm attorneys Avi Goldstein and Devin Meepos and paralegal Steven Conlon were the smart, strategic and hardworking trial team that achieved this victory.
The Bloom Firm is proud to stand with and fight for victims of sexual harassment, assault, and retaliation, no matter how wealthy or powerful the opponent.

REGINA SIMONS CLIENT
Lisa Bloom and her incredible firm have stood by my side through a very difficult time. Lisa has been so supportive, answered my questions right away, and let me know she would be there for me no matter what. She demonstrated what a strong woman she is and really knows her stuff. I am grateful to have had her by my side. I felt the support of her team, which made me realize, I too could be strong. I have full confidence Lisa and her firm can handle any case out there. Thank you again, Lisa Bloom and your remarkable team, for helping me heal and be heard.
MELANIE NATHAN CLIENT
When my 13 year-old daughter asked why a lawyer needs another lawyer, I explained that this case and our swift uncompromising victory provided the answer: I could not have done for myself what Lisa and her team did. To win against the Trump Federal Government required deep understanding, masterful strategizing and a tenacious resolve. Lisa stood by me, reflecting my sentiment in a way that made me feel as if we were of one mind. She is so easy to get along with, available at all times and made things seem effortless as she softened the challenging steep terrain with her brilliance and confident expertise. With Lisa’s help in attaining this victory, I now feel even more empowered to assert my First Amendment rights which the Government failed to negate, and will continue to speak out for the political, LGBTQI and human rights issues that are important to me. I will never forget Lisa’s kindness and the extraordinary service of her adept team. Thank you Lisa and The Bloom Firm.
DR. WENDY WALSH CLIENT
I have only three words to say about Lisa Bloom: whip-smart, fearless protector, Wonder Woman. Okay, that was six words and I have thousands of other words but none will truly be able to capture the emotions I feel about her. She made me whole. She gave me a voice. She helped me learn to protect all women everywhere. She was the mid-wife that gave birth to a badass, big mouth, super Mom — Me! Boil some hot water, Lisa is rolling up her sleeves, and ready to help you too!
ELIZABETH TAYLOR CLIENT
Words can’t express how thankful I am to have Lisa Bloom in my life. Not only does she represent me in a case that once left me with no hope, but she is a mentor and most importantly my friend. Her poise presence, and intelligence are the epitome of class and who all women should look up to and strive to be more like. What she has done and continues to do for me, I will never forget.
