[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting developments regarding the seal on TAG's disclosure of content creators they were in contact with.

If the CCs who have been subpoenaed (or that Google and X have been subpoenaed regarding, more accurately) were on TAG's disclosure of CCs they'd been in contact with, but some of the CCs are saying they've never spoken to TAG or Wallace or anyone in Baldoni's camp, this raises a possibility I had not considered before but would be quite juicy if true:

What if TAG made contact with CCs via fake personas or without identifying themselves as a PR firm? What if they leaked things to CCs or fed them stories anonymously or under the guise of someone else? They would still be required to disclose these contacts in discovery (and it would likely come out in emails/texts disclosed, or if anyone from TAG was deposed, unless they tried to cover it up, but that's a very dangerous game). But the CCs might not realize they'd been contacted.

If TAG's list of CCs they contacted is unsealed and these CCs who are now being subpoenaed but claim they've never spoken to TAG are on it, this is going to be a wild ride. PR is a super sleezy business, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's where this is headed.[/quote]

That's an interesting theory. I think the interrogatory included "indirect" contact. If there were ever something that would turn those creators against JB, this could be it. I would have to go back and find those emails they had about this, because I remember WF arguing they wanted to limit it to content creators over a certain amount of followers which made me wonder if there were a lot under that threshold.

Another possibility is that the Popcorn Planet guy was on the list but some of the other ladies aren't. PP is the one that had the google doc with Freedman's statement (or something) and is on the subpoena, so he apparently does have some contact with WF side.

I don't know how far AEO extends so why couldn't Lively just write in her letter "Of the 16 subpoenas, 13 were on that list" or something. It makes me think Lively is still playing games with the truth.
