You are confusing multiple people, but yes, let’s just look at the thousands of posts that three Baldoni supporters have written here making crazier claims than that about Lively and insisting, for example, that some Lively supporter was tracking their location through comments here somehow. Even more fascinating!

Is it three? I'm convinced it's one, maybe two. The tone is exactly the same in every single post.

Right?! And religiously responding to almost every post that takes a pro-Lively side. Like, lady, you can take a snack break or walk the dog sometimes. The comments won’t expire! At least this person mostly stopped announcing her various comings and goings, like “went out to dinner and came back to this!. lol. Karen, we don’t need your minute-by-minute updates on your whereabouts, we are not your family.

There are a number people on here. It’s not one ‘lady’.

But there are likely two of you do-do PR people working overtime with your long winded attempts to twist and turn the narrative

The Karen insult is hilarious as your boss Blake lively is the ultimate Karen.

Lively Motion for Sanctions just dropped, it's so beautiful: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304.223.0.pdf

"Every lawyer certifies under Rule 11 that the pleadings they file with the court are not “frivolous, legally unreasonable, or factually without foundation,” and are “not being presented for any improper purposes, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation.” Failing to meet these standards subjects both lawyers and their clients to sanctions. The Rule 11 Plaintiffs and their Counsel have violated Rule 11 in every respect.

"As to an improper purpose, that the FAC was filed principally as a vehicle to seed harassing media narratives against Ms. Lively is obvious. The examples are legion – from its legally meaningless 178-page “Exhibit A,” to Counsel’s ghoulish taunt that Ms. Lively should testify about her degrading experience of sexual harassment at Madison Square Garden before 20,000 spectators and streamed for the world, to using the Court’s docket to level baseless allegations of extortion and spoliation of evidence against Ms. Lively and her counsel."

This is big: Lively has filed a motion for sanctions against all Wayfarer parties except Baldoni, and against their lawyers.

It's a Rule 11 motion saying that the claims by these plaintiffs against Lively have no basis in law or fact and were brought only to harass Lively and prolong litigation and increase legal costs.

They've attached separate letters addressing the frivolous claims as to each individual plaintiff. Right now only the Abel letter is on Court Listener.

I haven't been through it all yet but presumably they are going through each claim in the amended complaint and identifying the lack of legal basis and the failure to present any facts to back up each claim as to each plaintiff. This is all going back to that group pleading issue from the MTDs, only a step further because now they are saying that by refusing to amend their complaint to address the group pleading issues, and proceeding with discovery as though these are valid claims by all plaintiffs against all defendants, this has become an abuse of the court system.

The motion seeks attorneys fees and other costs incurred by Lively in defending these claims, a formal reprimand by the court and "any additional" sanctions the court sees fit to impose.

Here's the motion: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304.223.0.pdf

Here's the letter regarding Abel: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304.106.1.pdf

Intrigued as to why not Baldoni. Off to read.

I haven't been involved in many sanctions motions and while I support Lively I'm a little skeptical that she will win on them here. That said, what I *love* about this motion is that it basically forces Freedman to provide her with some of the substantive info that she is looking for on Baldoni's most tenuous claims, since he would not do the normal thing and amend his complaint. Whether or not they lose the sanctions motion, they tee up the issue of these claims having no real basis and if Freedman has real facts to support them, he should provide them now.

Also enjoyed the Second Circuit precedent saying that courts should be more likely to dismiss claims with prejudice where claimants have been provided the opportunity to amend before motions to dismiss and declined those opportunities, similar to Freedman's actions (or lack of action) here.

Far more than 3 :)

Sure just like Free Diddy protestors

Right right bc Baldoni is like Diddy, huh?

Sorry it went over your head, I should have expected less. Point: Anyone can buy support.

BL is no champion for women. She is the ultimate mean girl.

Oh! These safe harbor letters from Lively (the precursor to the Sanctions motion) have been sitting with Freedman since late April. I guess that's why Freedman has been amped recently. lol

[Anonymous]

This inside baseball is pointless. Just bilking the clients on both sides to drag this on until settlement. Zzzz.

Also seems like there is perhaps another Motion to Compel coming from Esra Hudson, as she's filed a motion to seal in relation to it.

Because Baldoni has presented facts that actually support his claim. So like Baldoni is alleging that Blake and RR defamed him when Ryan (allegedly) called Baldoni a predator to the WME rep.

But as currently written, the complaint is also alleging the Ryan (and Blake) defamed Jennifer Abel, Melissa Nathan, and Steve Sarowitz when he (allegedly) called Baldoni a predator to the WME rep.

This is just an extension of the group pleading issue in the MTDs. But may be viewed favorably by the court because Wayfarer failed to amend their complaint after the group pleading issue was brought up, and Liman already denied a request for extension to do so. Many of us thought that Wayfarer would try to meet the original deadline specifically to address this issue, in order to cut off the argument in the MTDs. They didn't. So now Lively is arguing that by failing to address it, these plaintiffs are engaged in frivolous claims that they cannot possible win on, and which are costing Lively money to defend against.

Baldoni supporters need to pop over to TeamJustinBaldoni or similar Reddit subs to see how Baldoni’s PR team wants them to respond before they can resume their prolific commenting here, hold on.

So it’s pretty clear the lively posters don’t have jobs, unless of course this is their job. Who has this kind of time in the middle of the day on a workday to write paragraph after paragraph.

Lively supporter(s) need to check with their Karen to see which angle to write multiple paragraphs on before resuming their long-winded and fact-twisting diatribe. Hold on.
