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]

Not PP but I agree with them. Here are questions about the birthing scene that Baldoni hasn't addressed at all:

- Did they pressure Lively to do the scene fully nude or to simulate nudity the day of the shoot. This is relevant even if ultimately she wound up more clothed -- an actress should not have to fight for the right wear clothes in a scene that wasn't scripted or choreographed as a nude scene.
- Who was on the set during the shoot. Baldoni has produced a call sheet stating that the set was closed but it is not yet clear if that was enforced and if there were unnecessary personnel on set. Related is whether unnecessary personnel had access to monitors during the scene that would enable them watch as Lively performed in this pretty intimate scene, and who had access to dailies from the shoot.
- Lively claims she had to ask several times for something with which to cover herself up between takes and that these requests were ignored for some period of time before she was given something. Is this true? If so why did it take so long to provide a cover, that seems like an easy thing to do to make an actor in an uncomfortable position wearing nothing but some kind of thin covering on her bottom (dispute as to what the covering was).
- Was an intimacy coordinator on set that day? Was the IC involved in the discussion about what Lively would wear in the scene? If nudity was proposed, it seems like having the IC there would make sense. Having seen the scene in question, Lively is pretty exposed. I can see an argument that if an IC was requested for that scene, it should have been accommodated. Simulating childbirth is a fairly intimate thing.

Baldoni's complaint kind of talks around these allegations. He says she was "fully clothed" because she had some kind of underwear on (as a woman who has given birth I dispute the idea that wearing a pair of underwear while your feet are in stirrups should count as "fully clothed" -- that's a very exposed situation). He claims the set was closed but doesn't say exactly who was there. And he also talks past the allegation about the actor hired as the doctor, saying the guy was fully qualified. That wasn't the issue. The issue was that Lively alleges they pressured her to do nudity in the scene and then were like "hey this is my buddy, he's going to be hanging out between your legs for this scene." She is alleging that an intimate scene was handled in an unprofessional way without the input of an intimacy coordinator, that she had to fight off pressure to do the scene naked, that Baldoni used it as an opportunity for his friends to be in close physical proximity to Lively when she was in an exposed and vulnerable position, and that when she asked repeatedly for a drape or something to cover herself between takes, she was ignored or denied.

So no, he has not addressed it.[/quote]

Again, we’ve addressed all of this repeatedly on this thread and the other.  No one cares if you still don’t get it, because clearly you are either incapable of rational thought or are just blindly going to follow Blake to the end.  Either way, no one is interested in playing this game with you on the daily.[/quote]

No, none of this has been addressed by Baldoni in his filings so it is not addressed.

I don't care if some random anonymous posters on DCUM think none of what I wrote above matters. It's actually central to the case we're discussing and Baldoni has not provided a defense of it. You might not think he needs to, but I do and so do others. I consider this a pretty serious allegation and if it happened as Lively describes, I think Baldoni *did* sexually harass her.[/quote]
