Renowned attorney Gloria Allred has announced that she will be representing the family of the alleged minor girl involved in the Josh Giddey saga. This news comes after it was reported by TMZ that the family was unwilling to cooperate with an investigation launched by the Newport PD. Allred confirmed her representation of the family to the media outlet, stating: "We represent the family, and we have no comment."
For those unfamiliar with Gloria Allred, she is a highly respected female attorney in the United States. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Allred obtained her bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1963, followed by a Master's from New York University in 1966 and a Law degree from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles.

They have taken on cases involving sexual harassment, AIDS discrimination, and wrongful termination. Allred is also the president of the Women's Equal Rights Legal Defense and Education Fund, an organization that she founded.
Allred has made an impressive career helping women
Throughout her impressive 40-year career as a lawyer, Allred has received numerous honors and accolades.

Before taking on the case of the alleged minor girl's family in the Josh Giddey saga, Allred was involved in several high-profile legal battles. One of her most notable cases was representing 50 women who accused Bill Cosby of misconduct. She also represented women who accused Anthony Weiner, a former US congressman, of sharing sexually explicit photos and messages without their consent.
