You're not privy to what Kessler knows or has experienced or how close the act of abuse is to him or his family members. Its his company he can send out a press release for whatever he wants. If he libels someone theres recourse.
Bloom was strongly associated with Kessler gear. Bloom was in fact the main reason why I had even heard of Kessler gear in the first place. In other words, he's like a celebrity endorsement, if you will. As such, it seems that it's fairly standard procedure nowadays for companies to do this kind of thing when bad stuff starts to come to the surface regarding their celebrity endorsements.
The UK has far more "open" libel laws than the US, i.e., it's easier to sue for libel.

Sad story all around, no matter the outcome. This is the first time I heard about this.

This quote just made my day
agree completely. anyone can post anything they want and people will jump on board. the world is so gullible and not patient enough to wait for all facts and or a court judgement.

The woman sounds vindictive and IMHO playing the victim card. What evidence does she have? If a woman ever wanted to ruin a man that she hates, this would be exactly what she would do. Also, from what she has said, she doesn't have family OR friends to turn too. That is a red flag to me. Everyone has some friend or some family -- unless they are lying or they are crazy... She seems a little of both.
However, I don't know her. She really doesn't have a "name"... Nobody really knows who she is UNTIL now... I live in chicago, and a few months ago some woman accused an uber driver of raping her while she was drunk. A few days ago, after 3 months in jail, the driver was released because they found a cell phone recording that showed that she wasn't raped, she wasn't drunk... actually, she was sober and both the driver and her just exchanged pleasantries while he was driving her home.
We should not crucify Bloom... not yet, at least...

My 2 cents
A)One thing is how one could be and another thing is a business. Unless show at TV, get a scandal or so and proved the accusations, there's no reason for a company to terminate relationships unless there are some more things hidden in the field (<-- what I think)
B)Bloom is a litle special, not too friendly and a difficult guy some times, he is very personal, I mean, its not a open guy, and sometimes he's closed to its opinions

I didn't now anything before so the Kessler statement I guess have made it worse for Mr Bloom enlighten the industry people. Even if he's not guilty who would hire him after this.
Exactly... Perfect way to ruin someone regardless of guilt or not... Plus, the woman gets to play the sympathy card. Without more evidence/proof/information, a lot to gain for the accuser; nothing to lose.. I lean 85% on "the woman is crazy" and Bloom should have "vetted her better"... Besides, her postings does not make her seem like she is a shrinking violet (imho)... but yet, she stayed in the relationship for 2 years.. sounds fishy to me.

You don't think Kessler who is/was close to PB might be in the know on some of this to make a decision like this? I doubt it was a rush to judgment on Kessler's part.
Two people who don't know each other have come forward about abuse. Its more than just random postings on the internet. Please take the time to read the accounts posted by these two ladies with nothing to gain. I do believe there are police reports in Sara's account. Are these two women liars or is PB a liar? What do they have to gain but open themselves up to verbal abuse? Its pretty brave to come forward with this sort of thing especially as evidenced by peoples reactions that the women are immediately discounted as "angry exes".
If Bill Cosby has proven anything its that people will discount the accounts of many many victims in order to uphold an impression they have of a 'celebrity'.

What is to be gained by these women? Do you think so little of women that you assume they are all just trying to take down successful men? These women didn't know each other. Why do you believe PB over two women who don't know each other and have nothing to gain? Kessler knew him personally and decided to end his companies relationship. What do you know of PB to conclude that these women are lying and are 'crazy' and should have been 'vetted' by PB?
