Gloria Allred can add another high-profile case to her resume… because TMZ Sports has learned that the celebrity lawyer was hired by the girl at the center of the investigation into the OKC star Josh Giddey as police try to determine if he had an inappropriate relationship with a minor.
We broke the story earlier this week… Newport Beach PD started an investigation in the situation, but the girl and her family are not cooperating with the police.
When asked about TMZ’s reports that Newport Beach (CA) police are investigating Josh Giddey’s recent situation, Mark Daigneault says, “I’m not going to comment on anything as it pertains to Josh off the field.”

Now that Allred is involved, the question becomes…why?
She could be tasked with liaising with police, or even talking to the people of Giddey about a possible settlement.
We contacted the high-powered attorney who told us, “We represent the family and we have no comment.”
The 21-year-old Giddey is one of the better young players in the league, and the story has gotten a lot of attention… but that’s not a foreign concept to Allred.
Among some of her firm’s high-profile cases, she has represented more than 50 accused women Bill Cosby of misconduct. She also worked for several women who accused former US congressman Anthony Weiner of sending sexually explicit photos and messages.
There are still many questions about the alleged relationship, that first Came to light made public last weekend, including the girl’s age, the state where it allegedly occurred and the nature of their relationship.
We’re told the investigation could take a long time… but whatever happens, it’s clear the family now has a pit bull representing them.
