[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was her actual request?  I've read mixed reports on this thread and elsewhere.

Was it "I don't want to be deposed by Freedman at this time" or "I don't want to be deposed by Freedman ever"?[/quote]

Both. The judge agreed to the first but not the second.[/quote]

Not a win for her in the slightest. [/quote]

I know it's very important for you to believe that.[/quote]

DP. Lol how is this a win for her? her motions were denied. [/quote]

Her protective order was denied. Baldoni's request to have Lively deposed immediately was denied.

Even though her protective order was denied, the judge invoked the ethics rules on extrajudicial statements and threatened to move up the date of the trial if the lawyers attempt to try it in the press.

Notice that Freedman has been very quiet since the hearing yesterday. I don't think I even saw a statement from him after the hearing. If he made one, he didn't say anything of note. Lively's lawyers have successfully gotten him to quiet down.[/quote]

Stop lying.  He talked to the press on the court house steps about how happy he was with how the hearing went.

After the hearing, Freedman told an array of cameras outside the courthouse that he was pleased with the outcome.

“Our clients are devastated and want to move the case along as quickly as possible,” he said. “We just couldn’t be more pleased with how the case was handled today, how it was managed. We’re going to move as quickly as we possibly can and prove our innocence, in a world where sometimes people judge you before they give you a chance. And we’re going to change that.”

That's a very toned down statement when you look at the stuff he was saying just last week in the press. Not a single comment about Lively herself, for instance.[/quote]

My thought is this: Baldoni will win. No matter what front BL and RR are putting on, [b]they don’t stand a chance for SH. [/b]The facts don’t fit the narrative that she’s painted.

Glad the judge said ‘proceed’ with media but time it down. He’s allowing both sides to continue as is, but to keep ot more respectful. So Freedman can continue, but more respectfully.

He didn’t ban the website nor issue a gag order. Win for Baldoni.[/quote]

You have no idea about this. Baldoni hasn't addressed the really serious stuff like barging into the trailer and the birth scene having an unexpected stranger show up. He's posting clips of their dance and inviting speculation. He really has not addressed the more substantive charges. Which is great for the court of public opinion but less so in the court of actual law[/quote]

He addressed it.[/quote]

Not substantively IMO. Just fluff. [/quote]

The finance guy not on set during birthing scene is fluff.?  Yup, seems consistent with your usual level of logic.[/quote]

No your redirection seems consistent with your level of logic. I'm not going to use the word usual because I don't know if I've been corresponding with one or multiple posters.

This is the substance of the complaint:

[quote]Lively’s character gives birth in the film. On the day of shooting, both Baldoni and Heath are accused of having “suddenly pressured Ms. Lively to simulate full nudity, despite no mention of nudity for this scene in the script, her contract, or in previous creative discussions.” Baldoni told Lively — a mother of four — women “give birth naked” and that his own wife “ripped her clothes off during labor.” He also said “it was ‘not normal’ for women to remain in their hospital gowns while giving birth.” Lively disagreed, but ultimately said she would be naked from below her chest.

The day the birth scene was filmed was allegedly “chaotic, crowded and utterly lacking in standard industry protections for filming nude scenes — such as choreographing the scene with an intimacy coordinator, having a signed nudity rider, or simply turning off the monitors so the scene was not broadcast to all crew on set (and on their personal phones and iPad).”

Baldoni and Heath allegedly did not close the set, which meant nonessential members of the crew were allowed to pass through freely while “Ms. Lively was mostly nude with her legs spread wide in stirrups and only a small piece of fabric covering her genitalia.”

That group also allegedly included Wayfarer co-chairman Mr. Sarowitz, who flew in for one of his few set visits. “Ms. Lively was not provided with anything to cover herself with between takes until after she had made multiple requests,” the complaint reads. “Ms. Lively became even more alarmed when Mr. Baldoni introduced his ‘best friend’ to play the role of the OBGYN when ordinarily, a small role of this nature would be filled by a local actor. Ms. Lively felt that the selection of Mr. Baldoni’s friend for this intimate role, in which the actor’s face and hands were in close proximity to her nearly nude genitalia for a birth scene, was invasive and humiliating.”[/quote]

Now perhaps you are right about Mr. Sarowitz, I haven't heard that. But clearing that one man from being on set hardly addresses the substance of this claim. And Adam Mondschein, Justin Baldoni's friend, is credited as a doctor acting in the movie on IMDB so he certainly WAS there.

But you picking one weird fact to dismiss and using that to conclude that the whole thing is 'addressed' is interesting. You don't need to be a lawyer to have critical thinking skills. [/quote]
