She expected Justin to capitulate quickly with her pr campaign concerning the complaint, particularly with The NY Times article. I would not be at all surprised if there is no evidence to support iher claims because she thought a few texts and emails taken out of context would get it done. There was no legal reason for her not naming witnesses to the alleged behavior in the complaint. She isn’t required to, but it would have made it much stronger.
Uh, I don't think so. She can bring those witnesses forward at any point. Some of them may be reluctant, so leaving them anonymous now might spare them having to be deposed or testify if there is a settlement before it gets that far. Discovery hasn't started yet.
Also I think it's funny when people talk about the legal or PR strategy like Blake Lively is somewhere directing people on what to do. She has hired attorneys and she and Ryan have a PR team. Lively is very likely barely involved in the day to day of this.
Also the speculation around Anna Kendrick is funny because she and Lively have a movie coming out together this year (sequel to A Simple Plan). Not sure of release date but I'm guessing Lively will be doing press and probably the biggest issue they are dealing with is how to promote that movie while dealing with the ongoing Baldoni saga. I guarantee Lively is way more involved in the PR discussions around that than anything related to the legal strategy of the lawsuit, which she has paid people to keep far, far away from her.
