[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are like 3 pro Baldoni posters on this board who have convinced themselves that Lively is the antichrist and they won’t hear evidence to contradict that. I’m sure there are posters elsewhere like this, but the general public hasn’t yet made up their minds and likely won’t until trial, so insisting they are “done” and need to settle right away is crazy. If they have convincing evidence of a smear, imho, they win and Baldoni does not recover. And if Baldoni ordered the smear, he shouldn’t be settled with. [/quote]

If you listen closely to what Blake’s lawyers have said, a few things become really clear:

“The core of this lawsuit is the smear campaign” means we know we can’t prove harassment and don’t even believe it ourselves.

“We’re hoping to focus on the smear campaign in discovery” means we don’t have any evidence yet but are hoping to find some on our fishing expedition.

“The conversation as described didn’t happen” means we definitely threatened Taylor Swift but we were careful with our words, as we are lawyers after all.

I’m one of the Baldoni supporters who thinks Blake won’t settle, but not because she shouldn’t, but because she can’t afford it. She’ll take her chances at least until after the MTDs are ruled on but the problem is today’s price is not tomorrow’s price, so if the MTDs don’t go how she wants it’ll cost her more in settlement discussions.

Well, I would certainly not expect serious settlement discussions until Wayfarer turns over the financials. [/quote]

Why? Jury damages are rarely tied to real world financials [/quote]

The 400 million is a huge number and totally speculative. [/quote]

Uh yeah, no one expects them to settle for that number. Do you know anything about how this all works? The number is a fairly random number. It is to set an impression. [/quote]

.... and, getting their financial statements gets them some actual information to form a basis for a reasonable settlement offer to be negotiated. They don't just pick numbers out of thin air.[/quote]

Again, you clearly don’t know this world very well. [/quote]
