That one person is not a Baldoni supporter and is literally one person. The motion was barely mentioned on this thread. So once again, living in your own reality. |
Nope, that wasn’t me actually. I have always said that I’m not really that familiar with the potential issues/problems behind the subpoena and would be interested in seeing what happened with it. But that if Freedman really thought it was a problem, he really should raise it as soon as possible (before it becomes moot, as might happen if Abel’s claims get dismissed), and certainly should do better then raising it in an effing footnote. |
It’s not my problem if you can’t be bothered to weigh in on the filings that get discussed here. Some of us did (and still are) so I feel pretty good about my reality, especially as compared to the reality of Baldoni supporters who thought their boy had $400M+ in claims which went *poof* overnight because Bryan Freedman prefers threatening and bullying people over the actual hard work of research and writing that go into drafting a legitimate legal complaint. So if we are comparing realities that are built on ineffable hopes and dreams that dissipate completely when the truth comes along, I feel pretty good about mine, thanks. |
Honestly it seems like the lawyers on here who support Baldoni stopped weighing in on almost every legal issue following their great embarrassment when Baldoni’s entire legal complaint was dismissed, and then follow up embarrassment two weeks later when Freedman didn’t even amend. So to say “hey we didn’t even say anything about those filings” is pretty rich. Sure, you’ll never be wrong again — that’s one way to do it! Congrats! |
Great analysis, thanks for sharing. |
That filing happened over Fourth of July week and some of us have lives. Happy to discuss the Van Zan ruling within you or if not you, the person who posted non stop about how embarrassing the motion was for WF defendants. Or the Swift motion. Or Blake’s postponing her depo. |
So what you're saying is you're happy to discuss exactly three filings where Baldoni's lawyers don't entirely come off looking like unprepared crooks, even if they also occurred over the fourth of July week (depo), but you have no legal opinions to share on the hundreds of remaining legal filings in the case lol. For example, did you happen to catch the CA judge musing on why Freedman and Garofalo didn't even bother to address the transfer issue in their joint filing? ("Indeed, Movant strangely did not respond to Respondent’s transfer arguments in the initial joint stipulation filing.") Oh, Your Honor, we also have many questions about wtf these lawyers are doing. But I am guessing from the above that you have nothing to say about this, or any other filing where Freedman and co. come off looking like idiots. Okay, NP. We'll make sure to sound the alarm for you when any of those particular three filings you mentioned come up here. |
My point is that the motion to dismiss was over a month ago and WF has had some success since then. I could have also mentioned the Swift textmotion Blake lost. Baldoni supporters just choose, for the most part, not to engage with you and one or two of the other Lively supporters who don’t seem to live entirely in the real world and are unpleasant to boot. Why bother, and with that, I’m off to enjoy thus beautiful afternoon. |
It's true, we're really not going to convince one another. Our realities are too far apart from one another and we are just talking past each other every time we engage. That's why I mostly stopped participating here for a week. I have found it's the same on Reddit. There is nowhere to discuss the case where people will actually discuss the legal issues without their own viewpoint/ideology getting in the way of a real discussion. Maybe the Courts reddit sub -- I haven't tried that. I will say, I did try to participate evenly and pleasantly here, literally for months, and was constantly assaulted with claims that I was a bot or a shill or getting paid or some insider. Which I am not. And most of my legal arguments turned out to be right, and those from Baldoni supporters turned out to be wrong. So if you're mad that I'm "unpleasant" now, please look inward because I participated here literally for months with no insults until I got fed up with the constant attacks from your side. If it's helpful I can go find the posts where I said I'd start insulting too if the insults didn't stop. (Reader, the insults did not stop.) So I don't care anymore, and I will snark if I want to, because I've earned it. |
I miss this person. Funny but not overly mean, and also not deranged. |
WF submitted responsive briefs to both the motion to extend discovery and Jones motion for attorney’s fees (both readily available on Reddit). WF has stepped up its game with respect to brief writing. The first doesn’t object to the extension, but notes the failures of Livelt and Jones to actually notice depositions, their attempts to postpone their own depositions and points out that there is only 150 hours of video footage, not 50,000, none of which should be required viewing for Blake prior to her depo.
The latter is a complete smack down of Jones’ request for attorneys fees, which among other things, had to be filed in state court. |
I saw that and was surprised, because I wouldn't expect them to make that kind of mistake, so we'll see what the response is (not something I'm interested in researching, lol). I do think they made a pretty good substantive argument that this wasn't a bad faith lawsuit, just failure to state a claim. Ryan Reynolds I think will have the same problem... calling someone a sexual predator to their agent is the type of thing that gets you sued (I agreed with dismissal for lack of actual malice but that doesn't necessarily make the lawsuit frivolous). Blake really does stand the best chance of winning attorney's fees on the premise that all her allegedly defamatory statements were contained in a CRD claim that become the basis of a lawsuit. And that will really infuriate people if Liman rules for her, plus it could invoke the constitutionality of 47.1 so that will create a lot of fireworks. I almost wonder if they've coordinated for Sloane to go first so they can correct any technical mistakes her lawyers made her, but that kind of sucks for her, and they have different representation so not sure why she would do that. |
Not sure if it’s correct, but Reddit seems to believe that there is a 40 day deadline from dismissal for seeking damages under the statute so Jones was the only one who filed on time. Lively seems to be relying on her Rule 11 motion for Attorneys fees. |
How unusual is it that Blake is delaying the depositions? I’m not the pro-JBer who kept saying she should settle, but I do genuinely believe she doesn’t want to go through with this lawsuit. |
This. This pro L poster is a total nut job and no one can stand her other than her pretend friend who posts right after her, conveniently… /s She’s not only nuts but also immature and petty, and will gloat for post after post if she gets something correct. People tune her out. |
