[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blake will not settle. She has nothing to lose by proceeding because while public sentiment is against her, industry sentiment continues to support her. If she can ride it out until trial and then convince people she had a legitimate reason to sue, that's the best case scenario for her.

Settling now locks in the public perception that she is in the wrong. She doesn't believe she's in the wrong, so she's not going to do that.

Also, while people here are dismissive of it, Blake is in a good position legally right now, even if the PR game is not cutting her way. She has the upper hand with discovery right now, and in his motion to strike, Judge Liman indicated a heightened level of frustration with Freedman that may spill over into additional matters. Liman also showed very limited patience with Freedman straying from the claims already outlined in the complaints, indicating that Freedman is not going to have a long leash within the litigation to bring embarrassing but otherwise irrelevant info.

I agree Blake is fighting for her life on the PR front, but when you look at the whole picture, that's all the more reason why settling right now doesn't make sense. Her best bet is to double down on her Hollywood support, keep fighting legally, and hope that if both those things continue to break her way, public sentiment will shift.[/quote]

I agree with this.  I think settling before the MTDs are decided would be crazy.  After that, it depends on what they’re finding from discovery, I guess. [/quote]

Settling before the MTD is her best chance to settle before this gets crazy expensive. She could settle now for 7 figures. After she loses the MTD? That number is going to jump [/quote]
