Because he didn't want to get his hands dirty?


Exactly


They've gotten so brazen I'm surprised they think these subpoeanas are a step too far. Like why stop now? Maybe because the lawyers were finally getting scrutinized and they didn't like it.


So, I think Lively's attorneys are more traditional and have a sense of decorum before the court. It's a different style than Freedman who posts some wacky public stuff like the Taylor Swift letter. I'm not saying the Lively side is more ethical. They did Vanzan. That was never assigned to a judge, they just slid in there and did what the wanted to get a subpoena with a veneer of legitimacy, even by filing a sham lawsuit because no one was watching. I guess they were hoping the social media sites would cooperate and they could just sneak in there. Once they were actually being questioned in public and actually were going to have to answer to the judge and defend their actions, they couldn't, so they scurried away when a light was shined on them. And even then, they still only want it quashed for those who questioned them, they are still trying to slip in and hope they can get something on the other 38 or so creators who didn't file. That is so distasteful. I feel like at this point, if the judge won't quash the entire subpoena, Google and X should request that, because it makes no sense that the subpoena is identical as to each content creators but only some are being quashed.


That makes sense

It does seem like they put chum in the water knowing most fish will get away but they hope to catch something from the ones don’t swim away/fight.

Also, that woman is just a lowly receptionist being rudely grilled by some guy about stuff she could not possibly know, having it recorded, and then posted to YouTube where she is described as a liar and made fun of. That's not okay. To me, that is as bad as subpoenaing some tiny Tik Toker with 20 followers.


I feel bad for her too, for having a terrible boss who didn't prepare her staff for inevitable and reasonable questions.


Nope. I've worked in a law firm as staff. He was demanding answers to questions that she legally cannot answer. And recording it and spreading it on YouTube. That has nothing to do with he firm failing to "prepare" her for some celeb gossip YouTube personality to use her as a punching bag and then share it all over the internet. He was being an a$$hole.

The whole thing was a stunt and he used someone who makes an hourly wage doing an honest days work to get views online. That's gross. It's like a morning drive talk show calling a school teacher to humiliate her on the radio for kicks. It's punching down.


lol, the Lively bot has lost the plot.


I'm not a "Lively bot." I think people who are defending people like Popcorn Planet, Perez Hilton, and Candace Owens have lost the plot. These people are gross. It's one thing when they are going after Lively, who is wealthy and powerful. This secretary is neither. If you can't see what is wrong with that, I don't know what to tell you. Candace has a theory about Jews and lasers to sell you on, I guess.


Not a bot, but let’s summarize the various professions you’ve claimed: attorney, office staff, intimacy coordinator, fact checker, was there a screen writing claim as well? I’ve lost track.


Isn’t she also Arlington mom? And at one point she worked in news too.


So well rounded!!!


And what do you all do for a living? Still zero responses from anyone on team Baldoni here, dishing it out but not taking it, classy as always. 🤣


I am pretty sure they are stay at home moms who maybe had a job at one point but not anymore, and one was a nurse.

I'm not defending the legal strategy behind these subpoenas (I question it also), but calling this "unhinged" as though your guy hasn't done much, much worse is certainly a take. You guys are still loathe to discuss Baldoni's entire legal complaint getting completely dismissed (and commonly attribute this to judicial bias lol!), much less Freedman's fake punching of his opposing counsel. You might want to consider some of these things in proportion to one another because you're going to be in a for a shock the next time Freedman promises to do something he never does or Fritz signs a sworn declaration attesting to what the legal standard is.

His complaint was dismissed two months ago and that Freedman punching thing -- which was for another case -- happened a month ago. The subpoenas are happening right now, so they're timely and relevant. You're grasping for arguments here.

This is a really strange way of looking at this case. It was Blake who started this mess. She went to the New York Times with the story and filed this insane lawsuit. It’s pretty clear that Justin hired a communications crisis firm to help him with the communications crisis Blake created. It was absolute insanity to ever accuse him of a smear campaign.

Hollywood PR is dirty and gross and no one should know that more than Blake, who has used every dirty trick in the book to claw her way into a career. Justin was just playing the game because she set it up and no one would blame him for that. We all know this. What Blake is doing is truly embarrassing. It has cost her her hair company, her friendship with Taylor, which was probably her single greatest asset in celebrity world, and millions of followers and fans.

But yes, let’s talk about how crazy Justin‘s lawyer is lol.

"It was absolute insanity to ever accuse him of a smear campaign" when Baldoni actually hired and paid THREE different PR firms PLUS a specialist in TX to design and execute a "most importantly, untraceable" campaign after Baldoni specifically signed an agreement promising Lively he would not retaliate against her for raising the harassment issues she did. After the people who designed that campaign bragged that "you know we can bury anyone." After the people who designed the campaign told one another that they were pretty sure Lively was sincere about her harassment complaints and really believed he did those things to her, but also noted the campaign was being really successful because "it just shows how people really want to hate on women."

This is a really strange way of looking at this case. It was Baldoni who started this mess by harassing Lively in the first place. He ultimately doubled down by filing a $400M defamation claim against the woman who accused him of harassment -- and it's exactly this kind of defamation claim launched in response to accusations of harassment that is commonly being recognized as just another retaliatory tactic itself, and especially so here where none of the claims in Baldoni's complaint even survived the motion to dismiss stage. This is extraordinary -- you don't seem to have any clue how completely nuts it is that not a single one of his dumb claims against hers survived when Freedman bragged about how he was going to ruin Lively for weeks and when he claimed the lawsuit was worth $400M. *poof*

But oh no, some subpoenas trying to get financial info about the smear are withdrawn. THE HORROR.

Honestly, better to not engage. Unless you enjoy arguing with a brick wall.

DP this is a great way of putting it. BL supporters always scream that we don't engage with them both on DCUM and the IEWU subreddit (even though many of us did at the beginning), and it's just useless because they will not change their minds on anything, so what's the use? Blake's word is law, and there's absolutely no evidence that can change that, and every act of defense on Justin's behalf is actually an example of DARVO, so what is there to argue with?

Like, I'm firmly pro-Justin, but if at trial, they show the birthing video, and it's as Blake has claimed, I would completely change my mind about him. The reverse will not happen with Blake defenders. It could be completely different than what Blake claimed, but as long as Blake claims she felt uncomfortable, that is enough in their eyes for it to have constituted sexual harassment.

Give me a break. If your husband or brother or whoever was the victim of Ryan Reynolds walking around Hollywood calling you a sexual predator and running to the New York Times to get the me too writer to write an article on it giving you just a couple of hours to respond you would hire a firm to do everything they could as well. Like I said, it’s a sleazy game, but nothing that they did was illegal. There was no smear campaign.

She started this when she used sexual harassment claims to steal the movie from Justin. She was the one who harassed him, along with her husband. You can argue until you’re blue in the face, but the public is clearly on his side at this point.
