June enlisted Marlon Hopgood's aid in order to get a chance to blackmail Bishop.

With Hopgood filming the assault and with Bishop's face in view, June took possession of the film to blackmail Bishop.
Events of L.A. Noire
Bishop sought to escape his predicament by attempting to murder both June and Jessica by drugging them and faking a car accident. Due to muscle relaxation as a side-effect of the narcotics, both Jessica and June survived, and were later questioned by Detective Phelps. With the film in her possession, June later called her husband to order a hit on Bishop. The hit on Bishop failed due to the intervention of Phelps, Bekowsky, and the LAPD. All of them died except 2 of them, the other 2 went to Bishop's apartment and attacked his wife. But the 2 detectives successfully got there in time and the 2 attackers, were arrested and sent to prison for, assault, attempted murder, and breaking and entering. Bishop was sent to prison for rape and attempted murder, ending his movie producing career, while June presumably returned to her husband in Las Vegas, walking away free from the scandal.
