She had previously worked for the Stuart Liner of the Liner Freedman firm for 15 years, and had most recently spent 3 years at a midsized LA firm, Carlton Fields. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-practice/lawyer-to-the-stars-jumps-to-california-boutique-liner-freedman

What I thought was interesting was that she previously practiced at Venable, and it looks like she left there shortly before Baldridge came on. So they may not know one another, particularly, or have worked together, but they may know some of the same people and know of one another, and/or Garofalo may be involved in the subpoena/quash negotiations with Baldridge/Venable.

Dude, we discussed this before. It’s not normal to stalk associate attorneys. Sure, freedman is one thing bc he puts himself out there, but a regular attorney is not someone you should be posting about. Do not continue to do this

Nah man, she's a full partner and everything. She was a board member at her last firm. Noting the prior places where attorneys have worked is totally normal in this industry. That's why firms make announcements about it. Basically every single thing I said above except for the fact that she left Venable slightly before Baldridge came on there is in the bloomberg law article that I linked where she provided an interview with quotes etc.

Ignore the PP. These are entertainment lawyers, their CVs are online. Of course it's perfectly normal to note where they worked previously or connections they may have to the other people in the case or whatever. That goes for the associates too, IMO. Being a lawyer is a public facing job, and if you rep celebrities then be prepared for to get discussed online. That goes for both sides, and the judge. It's just the reality.

As long as you're respectful, it seems fine.

Thanks! I will.

Looks like the Venable quash still hasn’t been withdrawn, now more than a week since Freedman claimed it would be “mooted in short order” and less than a week before Freedman’s response would be due.

I think Lively’s motion to compel info from Wayfarer’s unbelievably late “neutral” investigation of Lively’s SH claims is a good idea. It doesn’t seem like Wayfarer should be allowed to protect those conversations as privileged while at the same time using them as basically pro-Wayfarer pre-trial investigations for the current lawsuit.

I can’t understand how a real company like Wayfarer could decline to investigate SH allegations for two years. They are required to do this I think within 6months under California law. To try to perform some investigation now is clearly just a pretext and I don’t see how anyone could try to say this two years too late “investigation” is okay.

Also noting that more sanctions motions based on inadequate pleading may be coming from Lively, since the Garofalo response refers to 12 letters and so far we have only seen 10 as attachments in the 2 sanctions filings to date.

The dynamic duo up for another days work!

How stupid to file all these motions. What a waste of their clients money

Yes, I'm sure your main concern is whether Lively and Reynolds are being overbilled. Very convincing.

Huh? Yeah, actually, it bothers me when lawyers encourage their clients to engage in pointless and often counterproductive litigation. Which this clearly is. This has not helped her, it certainly hasn’t helped other women and it’s only been an expensive shit show. I’m sure she regrets filing. And I’m sure the NYT regrets running that piece.

Bingo.

We called us on DCUM right away didn’t we?

Justin Anderson was on Kristin Cavallari’s podcast this week. If you don’t know Justin, he’s a celebrity hair stylist, works with Reese Witherspoon and Kirstin Dunst etc, and has a successful line of hair color products.

Anyway, they were chatting about this case and he was like I have met Taylor, she is so sweet and she has definitely been bamboozled by mean people. He said, it’s long been known in the beauty industry that Blake is a mean girl and terrible to work with.

For him to say it so brazenly just signals that no one gives a crap anymore, and Ryan and Blake are losing their power.

PP i have to clarify that i meant this genuinely. I'm pro JB, but there's another weird pro-JB poster here who interprets agreement as sarcasm.

I love it. I also love it that teams of lawyers, consultants, crisis experts and every other hack is milking them. All from a self-inflicted scam. Pride goes before a fall!

People on Reddit think Candace Owens is just repeating the speculation of people on Reddit about Taylor's dad. She's done this before -- she acts like people are contacting her with "tips" but she's just regurgitating speculation or research of redditors.

People there are skeptical and agree. She doesn't have new info, she's just sharing a theory many have already had.

She is a grifter (also am anti-semite and MAGA). When are you guys going to get this?

[Anonymous]

DP, but Candace Owens also hates Taylor Swift so it's for sure she's not getting this info from Swift herself.

Just watched Kristin’s pod. She’s great. That Justin guy was hilarious. He didn’t hold back on Blake, said it’s well known that she’s an a-hole.

On a related note, Josh Boswell from DM who broke the Vanzan story, was on Zack Peter. Josh also broke the story on the toxic work environment at Preserve. Josh mentioned that media coverage of Blake is going to start to shift because all of these media outlets that have been super pro Blake are startling to realize that they’re going to look really silly if Blake turns out to be the “villain”. I think we’re starting to see that already with People writing what seems like their first pro Justin piece since this whole thing started.

A GQ journalist is pursuing a celeb crisis PR angle.

Traditional media is really just struggling for relevancy by writing about the most boring angles.

More filings today:

Another motion to compel, filed by Sloane, to obtain the texts of Daily Mail journalist Vitsuka, who is the one who alleged that Sloane said Lively was saying she had been assaulted (which Sloane says she did not say herself):

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304.232.0.pdf

And Baldoni filed an opposition to one of the earlier motions to compel, but it's not available for free on court listener yet.
