What is the footage wants to see?

You don’t have to be pro JB to understand she should try to settle this case. Anyone watching this case knows it’s been a train wreck for her

Settling doesn’t really help her. Letting Freedman continue to bleed out helps her. Baldoni lost a lot of credibility when his complaint got dismissed and Freedman said he would refuse but didn’t. She should keep going and let Freedman continue to show his crazy. Maybe he will fake punch Gottlieb at the dep. we can only hope.

You’re saying Baldoni lost a lot of credibility but blake continues to bleed Instagram followers by 100,000s. So does her account for Blake Brown beauty though that is shedding by the thousands because it has a fraction of the amount of followers anyway.

I’ll say it again, she just came off the biggest box office hit of her career and it’s crickets on her IMDb. The three movies she has upcoming have literally been sitting there for years and are likely not going to be made or not going to be made with her in it.

She’s had no one besides Amber Tamblyn publicly support her since Justin dropped his lawsuit and we’re six months past that.

All she needs is for Freedman to continue to self destruct in front of everyone and people will desert Baldoni saying they were mislead, etc. I think she just needs to wait it out further as Freedman continues on his self imposed death march to total meltdown, or whatever his ultimate destination is. I am here for it.

We gave you a whole separate thread for your Friedman obsession, use it.

I think you're confused, so I'll help you out.

There's a separate Bryan Freedman thread for Bryan Freedman's antics in other cases.

However, Bryan Freedman continues to represent all of the defendants in this case except for Jed Wallace. So he currently serves as the lead attorney to Justin Baldoni, Jamie Heath, Steve Sarowitz, Wayfarer, Jen Abel, Melissa Nathan, and TAG PR. I might have left some out.

Anyway, he's the lawyer to all of these defendants (which is itself a question regarding conflict of interest tbh, but that's for another day). And as their lawyer here, to the extent that his actions in this case are questionable or interesting, it's reasonable to raise them here. So, for example, when he drafts and files a complaint where every single claim therein gets tossed out by the judge for failing to adequately plead the facts and the law, that is a rather remarkable attorney accomplishment that should get reported in this thread. And then when he goes on TMZ (lol) a day later and says he will replead all of the claims he has remaining, and makes it clear that he does not actually understand the number of claims that is, that is also a remarkable fact that can be discussed here. And then when two weeks later he actually fails to file an amended complaint as he just promised TMZ and all Baldoni supporters two weeks ago that he would do, with no real explanation, that is also an event that is newsworthy to this thread. In general, it seems appropriate to describe this behavior as "self-destructive" or as a "self imposed death march to total meltdown," but feel free to disagree and provide your alternative description.

I think it's interesting that Bryan Freedman hasn't filed anything in the case under his own name here since June 13th, just a few days after the massive dismissal order. Most of the case filings are now being handled by Garofalo or Fritz, though obviously Freedman is still included on the meet and confer emails. It could be that this pertains to the issue of Freedman himself now being implicated in the smear, given that Gottlieb filed a text showing that journalist James Vituscka was texting directly with Freedman during the time of the smear campaign. I'm interested to see how all of this plays out.

I don't believe Justin sexually harassed Blake. I believe the "smear" campaign was 95% organic. But I still have yet to see a good explanation for this:

''We've also started to see a shift on social, due largely to Jed and his team's efforts to shift the narrative towards shining a spot light on Blake and Ryan."

I can't stop thinking about this quote, and I do think it's one of the main things pro-BLers are hanging onto, and I can't blame them. People will say shifting the narrative can entail positive press about Justin, and it doesn't have to be anything disparaging toward Ryan and Blake, but right there, in that quote, it says they shifted the narrative by "shining a spotlight on Blake and Ryan."

There was once a study about how a gigantic fraction of tweets were written by only a small proportion of users. I feel like that's what fuels the discourse here too -- a bunch of the same "power" users posting across different forums. Would not surprise me if it's that weirdo Kat Ortega lady.

Sure seems odd to me that you lot post the most disturbing speculation and totally-made-up-in-your-head theories and insults about Blake Lively and her family here, complete with weird pictures and speculation about her children, (believing yourselves to be doing god’s work I guess). But then you seem to have a meltdown when someone posts a series of facts about Baldoni’s controversial attorney doing terrible legal work on the case. When I thought this thread was supposed to be about the legal work on the case. And he is the source for a lot of it.

Your protectiveness for Bryan Freedman is just so weird coming from the people who mercilessly mocked Lively’s face and appearance and clothing and mental health for hundreds of pages, and yet somehow nobody should say anything bad about the attorney who dared Lively to have her deposition in Madison Square Gardens and sell tickets? Bryan Freedman clearly lives for controversy so you should just let him enjoy it, honestly.

No one posts weird pictures and speculation about her children. What on earth are you talking about? And people here barely talk about her looks. Regardless, even if all that were true, it would be misogynistic, but it wouldn't be "weird" per se, since she's a public figure and this thread is about Blake and Justin. On the other hand, you are ranting on and on about an attorney that 99.98% of the population isn't aware of. We're not calling you out because we're being "protective" of him.

I'm on the same wavelength as you (i don't know if I'd say 95% though). The most unsatisfying result for all parties would be if the jury does find some retaliation occurred, but not enought to show any kind of damages. Basically saying WF did it but BL also sucks.

PP curious what percentage you do think it is and the extent of wallace's involvement? i actually think i went too low and would put the amount of organic posts at maybe 98%. there was just so much organic discussion of blake derailing the movie and bad press about her on sites like ONTD where membership is closed off and no bad actors can get in and post whatever they want. ppl who pay attention to celeb gossip just don't like her and were primed to go after her

I’ll say it again, she just came off the biggest box office hit of her career and it’s crickets on her IMDb. The three movies she has upcoming have literally been sitting there for years and are likely not going to be made or not going to be made with her in it.

She’s had no one besides Amber Tamblyn publicly support her since Justin dropped his lawsuit and we’re six months past that.

All she needs is for Freedman to continue to self destruct in front of everyone and people will desert Baldoni saying they were mislead, etc. I think she just needs to wait it out further as Freedman continues on his self imposed death march to total meltdown, or whatever his ultimate destination is.

We gave you a whole separate thread for your Friedman obsession, use it.

I think you're confused, so I'll help you out.

There's a separate Bryan Freedman thread for Bryan Freedman's antics in other cases.

However, Bryan Freedman continues to represent all of the defendants in this case except for Jed Wallace. So he currently serves as the lead attorney to Justin Baldoni, Jamie Heath, Steve Sarowitz, Wayfarer, Jen Abel, Melissa Nathan, and TAG PR. I might have left some out.

Anyway, he's the lawyer to all of these defendants (which is itself a question regarding conflict of interest tbh, but that's for another day). And as their lawyer here, to the extent that his actions in this case are questionable or interesting, it's reasonable to raise them here. So, for example, when he drafts and files a complaint where every single claim therein gets tossed out by the judge for failing to adequately plead the facts and the law, that is a rather remarkable attorney accomplishment that should get reported in this thread. And then when he goes on TMZ (lol) a day later and says he will replead all of the claims he has remaining, and makes it clear that he does not actually understand the number of claims that is, that is also a remarkable fact that can be discussed here. And then when two weeks later he actually fails to file an amended complaint as he just promised TMZ and all Baldoni supporters two weeks ago that he would do, with no real explanation, that is also an event that is newsworthy to this thread. In general, it seems appropriate to describe this behavior as "self-destructive" or as a "self imposed death march to total meltdown," but feel free to disagree and provide your alternative description.

I think it's interesting that Bryan Freedman hasn't filed anything in the case under his own name here since June 13th, just a few days after the massive dismissal order. Most of the case filings are now being handled by Garofalo or Fritz, though obviously Freedman is still included on the meet and confer emails. It could be that this pertains to the issue of Freedman himself now being implicated in the smear, given that Gottlieb filed a text showing that journalist James Vituscka was texting directly with Freedman during the time of the smear campaign. I'm interested to see how all of this plays out.

I feel someone should warn Bryan Freedman about this poster’s disturbing obsession with him.

There was once a study about how a gigantic fraction of tweets were written by only a small proportion of users. I feel like that's what fuels the discourse here too -- a bunch of the same "power" users posting across different forums. Would not surprise me if it's that weirdo Kat Ortega lady.

Sure seems odd to me that you lot post the most disturbing speculation and totally-made-up-in-your-head theories and insults about Blake Lively and her family here, complete with weird pictures and speculation about her children, (believing yourselves to be doing god’s work I guess). But then you seem to have a meltdown when someone posts a series of facts about Baldoni’s controversial attorney doing terrible legal work on the case. When I thought this thread was supposed to be about the legal work on the case. And he is the source for a lot of it.

Your protectiveness for Bryan Freedman is just so weird coming from the people who mercilessly mocked Lively’s face and appearance and clothing and mental health for hundreds of pages, and yet somehow nobody should say anything bad about the attorney who dared Lively to have her deposition in Madison Square Gardens and sell tickets? Bryan Freedman clearly lives for controversy so you should just let him enjoy it, honestly.

No one posts weird pictures and speculation about her children. What on earth are you talking about? And people here barely talk about her looks. Regardless, even if all that were true, it would be misogynistic, but it wouldn't be "weird" per se, since she's a public figure and this thread is about Blake and Justin. On the other hand, you are ranting on and on about an attorney that 99.98% of the population isn't aware of. We're not calling you out because we're being "protective" of him.

Why are we talking about this? Guy is a scumbag, move on.

You're the one who made up blatant lies by saying we were posting pictures of her children, you absolute weirdo.

''We've also started to see a shift on social, due largely to Jed and his team's efforts to shift the narrative towards shining a spot light on Blake and Ryan."

I can't stop thinking about this quote, and I do think it's one of the main things pro-BLers are hanging onto, and I can't blame them. People will say shifting the narrative can entail positive press about Justin, and it doesn't have to be anything disparaging toward Ryan and Blake, but right there, in that quote, it says they shifted the narrative by "shining a spotlight on Blake and Ryan."

I'm on the same wavelength as you (i don't know if I'd say 95% though). The most unsatisfying result for all parties would be if the jury does find some retaliation occurred, but not enought to show any kind of damages. Basically saying WF did it but BL also sucks.

PP curious what percentage you do think it is and the extent of wallace's involvement? i actually think i went too low and would put the amount of organic posts at maybe 98%. there was just so much organic discussion of blake derailing the movie and bad press about her on sites like ONTD where membership is closed off and no bad actors can get in and post whatever they want. ppl who pay attention to celeb gossip just don't like her and were primed to go after her

PP. I honestly couldn't say. Could be more, could be less. I feel like the stuff feeds off itself... let's say they seeded content about her, that activates the people who already didn't like her legitimately, and then they post more actively, and other creators (organically) create more negative BL content (but it might not have happened if it hadn't been for the initial inorganic activity)... it's really hard to say. I definitely do think there was some kind of boost that happened, because I don't follow celebrity gossip at all, have not really known anything BL has done since Gossip Girl, and was not aware of the movie, but even I heard all about that stupid Flaa interview, and I remember thinking "why is this old ass interview everywhere all the time?" So for me if it reached me that suggests it was something inorganic, and the NYT article completely clicked for me and I really bought into it. And since then, I've learned more about BL's bad reputation in general and have accepted a lot of this was also organic. It's just going to be impossible to untangle her history from whatever bot activity occurred (and I think some did). I mean imagine being BL at the trial. First she puts on her case in front of the jury showing whatever she found that Wallace did, then the defense mounts evidence of how people have hated you for years!

You don’t have to be pro JB to understand she should try to settle this case. Anyone watching this case knows it’s been a train wreck for her

Settling doesn’t really help her. Letting Freedman continue to bleed out helps her. Baldoni lost a lot of credibility when his complaint got dismissed and Freedman said he would refuse but didn’t. She should keep going and let Freedman continue to show his crazy. Maybe he will fake punch Gottlieb at the dep. we can only hope.

You’re saying Baldoni lost a lot of credibility but blake continues to bleed Instagram followers by 100,000s. So does her account for Blake Brown beauty though that is shedding by the thousands because it has a fraction of the amount of followers anyway.

I’ll say it again, she just came off the biggest box office hit of her career and it’s crickets on her IMDb. The three movies she has upcoming have literally been sitting there for years and are likely not going to be made or not going to be made with her in it.

She’s had no one besides Amber Tamblyn publicly support her since Justin dropped his lawsuit and we’re six months past that.

All she needs is for Freedman to continue to self destruct in front of everyone and people will desert Baldoni saying they were mislead, etc. I think she just needs to wait it out further as Freedman continues on his self imposed death march to total meltdown, or whatever his ultimate destination is. I am here for it.

I meant, posts weird pictures of Lu let, and speculation about her children (as when people speculated about her child’s appearance in the Deadpool movie). I did not mean posted pics of her children.

But hey, maybe try calming down. That would be nice.
