her with his idea of a stimulus package. >> gloria allred opens up as ever before. >> i'm intrigued by you. i'm someone who watches your show almost every night. >> passion for woman's rights. >> it matters if any man hurts any woman. >> a daughter, lisa bloom. >> my mother is brilliant and passionate and tenacious. >> and the moment i never saw coming. >> i have a little gift for you. it is a subpoena. this is from your audience. whom i'm representing. it's you to, piers morgan. i want you to tell us under oath how many times you have been properly in love, under oath. >> i'm not accepting that. >> "piers morgan tonight" starts now. >> one woman strikes fear into the hearts of powerful men from herman cain to tiger woods. if you have a secret to keep, do you not want to hear that gloria a allred is on the case. she is the most famous female attorney in the country. what matters to her most is her crusade against victim rights. i was trying to think of the last time you actually sat to do an interview by yourself and not one of your clients. when was it? >> just like this? never. >> really? >> yes. >> why are you doing this? >> well, you invited me. and i'm intrigued by you. and i'm someone who watches your show almost every night. and i'm just in treeinged and also, of course, it's an opportunity to talk about empowering women, empowering minorities and the fact that we still have not won complete equality in this country. >> here's the fascinating thing about you. i've been immersed in all things gloria allred. i knew you'd be a tricky one to interview. you are remotely sensitive about your life. we'll come to those juicy little bits in a minute. there are two gloria allreds. you argued for people with aids who have been let go from jobs. you won a settlement against holocaust deniers on behalf of a survivor of auschwitz. you chipped away at the l.a. district attorney to the endorsed a program to collect from deadbeat dads and so on. all of these incredibly important ground breaking, courageous actions that you've fought that are absolutely in keeping with the positioning of gloria allred as this crusading campaigning attorney. then there is the other side. which is, i don't know, some would argue more trivial. in 1980, you went off to the nudists colony. challenging men for love making classes than women. and you raged a public campaign against madonna claiming she record a pro-choice song to make amends for papa don't preach? >> i'm the gloria allred who is an attorney and part of our law firm. i've been practicing law for 36 years. we are a civil rights law firm. we have won more women's rights cases and civil rights cases than any other private law firm in the nation. we won over $250 million for victims just in the last ten years alone. and we believe that women and minorities are entitled to equality, to liberty, to freedom, and to dignity. to equal rights in every way. and you take that yellow balloon case, for example, piers, that you just mentioned. that was a form of economic equality. for a little girls to be charged more for their haircuts than little boys and in that case we represented a sister and a brother. and that was a case of economic inequality because it took the same level of education and experience and time, we alleged, to cut that little girl's hair as did it to cut the little boy's hair. and, therefore, they should have not had separate pricing for little girls and little boys. >> do you believe that men and women should be absolutely equal in everything? >> i do believe that under the law, under the constitution of the united states and under our public policy that women deserve and should have a right to enjoy equal employment opportunity. >> i agree with a lot of what you've done. i agree with 90% of what you've done. some of the more trivial ones make me laugh. i get that. >> i don't agree with your assumption. >> really? >> what we do -- >> do you ever do anything for pub list i >> we do cases of public interest and importance. we believe that women who are discriminated against and minorities, for example, people who are gay, people who are lesbian, people who are trans gender or bisexual. minorities who have been discriminated against, racial minorities, they should have a voice. >> i agree with that. >> that their cases matter. >> how does equality go? if a man is able to do it -- i'm not saying i agree with you. i'm throwing it out there. if a man is able to do something better than a woman, should he be entitled to be paid more money or should there be equality because simply because a woman may not have the power of a man to play to that ability? >> it really depends on the particular facts. >> i have 80% female staff, for example. >> but, of course, it's better than it used to be. but, you know, often people who are conservative -- i'm not saying you're one of them -- will look back and say it's better. i'm saying some people are concerned and they'll say it's better than it used to be. well, yes. but i look forward. have we achieved equality under the law? the answer is clearly no. and i want our daughters to enjoy equal rights under the law. i don't want them to be sexually harassed on the job. and we have done many cases where women have been sexually harassed. >> do you feel there is a grief for men who get treated badly by women bosses? do you feel angry for the men or all women against men? >> actually, we have had a number of cases where we represent men who have been discriminate the against in employment on account of their gender. but we've had those cases in the past. i objected many years ago this was a well known case towards the beginning of my career, when there was a commission on the statous of women created in santa monica and they excluded men from being able to participate. and i went before the court and i argued that that was discrimination against men. that men have a stake in the equality for women. and that men should not be excluded from that conversation and especially not from a governmental entity that was going to opine about that. >> does it worry you that for all the very good cases you fight, where there is clear evidence of discrimination or harassment, does it worry you that you single-handedly created an atmosphere, a culture perhaps where people who want to try it on and who want to make a few quick bucks by claiming discrimination and harassment can now do that because of this atmosphere that you have helped propagate? does that worry you? >> not at all. because we are a plaintiff law firm. we screen our cases very, very carefully. we make sure we have the facts. we investigated the facts. and, you know, we can only take a small number of all of the case that's people ask us to take. so, no. the weak cases we are not taking. but i'm happy when women who believe they have been discriminated against on the account of their gender seek the advice of any attorney whether it's myself or anyone else in the country. and say i feel that i've been discriminated against on the job or sexually harassed s there something i can do about it? do i have a strong enough case? i don't want them to judge that themselves. we act like private attorney generals. in enforcing the rights. and we look forward to women standing up and asserting their rights and protecting their rights and vindicating their rights in a court of law. we're very proud of those women who have the courage to do so. >> and snmen? >> and men as well. >> we're going to take a break and then get into the high profile cases you take on. you seem to be popping up with all of them. one of the more predictable elements of any scandal is you and that little red top of yours. [ male announcer ] it's simple physics... a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. and celebrex is not a narcotic. when it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen, and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, including celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. do not take celebrex if you've had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. i think we're beginning to unmask scott peterson. >> it is time for tiger woods to take responsibility for the deep pain he has inflicted on veronica. >> to some of the high profile case that's had gloria allred all over our tv screens and she's back with me now. you do pop-up when you're, i guess your taking on the least want you to. and for that reason, you've become the kind of legal counsel. do you like that? >> i like empowering my clients. i like providing them with a voice that they otherwise might not have. because i think they matter. the typical person matters. not just celebrities in our culture matter. and this is what we do. we go up against the rich, the powerful, the famous, big corporations, government, celebrities, batterers, wrong doers, killers. wrong doers of all kind, sexual harassment and we allow that individual person to fight that, i'll call it a david and goliath battle and often win. and, yes, people say oh, my god. how could you go up against them? i mean these celebrities often they have their entourages and they have their pr people and army of lawyers and their managers and everybody else. who does that individual person have? they have us. and they get to have a voice. >> roman paul an ski, that i get. there you have serious allegations of serious sexual misconduct. tiger woods is an interesting case to me. because he's a golfer. what really is the public interest in exposing tiger woods when it comes down to, yes, there is the role model argument and making money from whoever. but actually does it matter what tiger woods does in his private life? why did you feel compelled to expose him? >> well, it matters if any man hurts any woman. and in the case of jocelyn james whom i represented, she was hurt. she was deceived. she was lied to. and he never even offered her an apology. they had a -- she was an adult film star, yes. >> and she went on to make an adult movie based on tiger woods' text messages. >> well, you know, she has a right to have a career. >> but how -- >> let me just say, he asked her to give up her career because he was jealous she would be with anyone else. she did at great economic sacrifice to herself. >> yes. >> and then -- >> she doesn't seem to be -- >> yes, she had to go and make a living. >> she went and made a porn movie starring tiger woods' text messages. how hurt could she have been? >> those of us who lead a more privileged life and able to make a very nice living the way you are and the way i am, i don't think we should look down our nose at other people who have to make difficult choices about how they make a living. it's'for me to sit here and judge or second guess how anybody makes a living. i'm so glad that anyone is able to work. >> rewind. i wasn't making any moral judgment about her career. she's perfectly entitled to be in the entertainment industry. my point is how hurt could she have been by tiger woods if she then just the moment i was over went out and made loads of money making porn movies starring his text messages? it seemed to me she is one of the cases where you were at your weakest and you had so many where you've been very strong. i just wonder sometimes when you watch what she did afterwards, do you slightly sit back and go, maybe i shouldn't have left that one alone? >> not at all. >> really? >> no. you know, i'm not a politician that sits there and puts my finger in the wind and sees which way it's blowing. i'm going to stand up for women. i stood up for women that are adult film stories, judges, secretaries, factory workers, farmworkers. you name it, we've had it just about. and i -- >> do you ever regret afterwards taking cases because of the way that perhaps the person you had been defending or prosecuting on behalf of because of their behavior afterwards? do you have moments of self reflection after? >> no, i'm so proud of my clients and the courage they've shown. you have no idea. we are a living -- i feel i live in a war zone every day for women where we are fighting for their rights against very powerful, very well-funded forces. i'm so proud of the courage of my clients. they come in and often crying on a glass table like this tears all over the place. and then i see them evolve into from victims to survivors to fighters for change and standing up and being empowered and then going on and empowering children and co-workers and other people in their community. >> where does, for example, the rights of tiger woods' wife override the rights of the adult entertainment star who has been having an affair with him who just feels a bit, you know, agrieved by the fact he isn't actually going to stay with her? where do the rights of his wife come into that in terms of your moral compass? >> i wouldn't characterize the fact that ms. james was upset that he wouldn't stay with her. it was his lying. it was the deception. it's the way he treated her after three years of an intimate relationship over 1,000 text messages and flying her around and making her feel that she was the only one. as to his wife, of course she has rights. and i assume that she asserted them. i'm glad she did so. that would be her right. >> you know, the point i'm getting at, right? you sort of paint a very compelling picture. you're very eloquent about this of this poor unsuspecting adult entertainment start who got duped by tiger woods. >> would you think it's okay for men to lie to women and break their hearts? i don't. i make no apology for that. i don't think men should be able to hurt women and then just walk away and throw them out like a piece of garbage. >> but she knew he was married. >> of course she knew he was married. >> does she care about mrs. woods? >> of course she did. but do you care about women being hurt by men who they trusted, whom they loved, who they had every reason to believe loved them. >> i hear that. >> that's it do. you care about the rights of women? do you care about all those women across this country who are being hurt and men treat them like oh, that is just an after thought. they can walk away after income a long-term relationship with him. >> i'm not condoning it. but if you're mrs. woods and you see this adult entertainment star claiming my life is ruined and just goes out and starts making movies -- >> she didn't say my life is ruined. those of us that have a lot of opportunities shouldn't look down on those who are trying to make a living. >> no. no. you keep trying to paint me as -- >> i don't represent his wife. i don't know what her thoughts are. i'm glad she stood up for herself. >> i'm not making any moral position or argue bment what she does for a living. what i'm saying is if you go out afterwards, after you have gone public and said tiger was treat meg really badly. he lied to me. he broke promises. but if you then go and make movies based on text messages, all that's going to do is really add to the hurt and humiliation in public shame of tiger woods' wife. and i'm curious as to where you representing that client would have a view about that kind of behavior and say maybe that's not a good idea. >> you know, i just don't sit in judgment of my clients. they have to -- >> ever? >> they have to survive. they have to make a living. i'm proud of her that, you know, she's trying to make a living. not everybody has a lot of options to make a living like you do and like i do. >> let's come back after the break and talk about the political cases. because there i have a little bit more sympathy with their clients. >> okay.
