[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, they don’t stand a chance for SH. 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]

I guess we'll have to see what happens with summary judgment motions, which won't be for months and months. If Baldoni's defense to the SH claims is as strong as you predict, then presumably he'll win a MSJ against all or most of her claims.

It might not get that far, will probably depend on how discovery goes. I think discovery is going to be very deposition heavy and much will depend on what witness say to corroborate either narrative. I'm not talking bout the high profile witnesses like Reynolds or Swift, but people like the makeup artists, assistants, lesser known cast and crew who actually witnessed what went on during the filming. Also other Wayfarer producers and employees who are on a lot of these texts and emails but haven't been identified yet. I think we really do not have all the facts yet, even with the big info dump from Baldoni last week.[/quote]

I agree with this. Baldoni's narrative is compelling, but what about all the people who supported Lively's snubbing of Baldoni? Why did they do that? We can only guess, as we haven't heard from a single one of them. [/quote]
