[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This people magazine article is interesting because they are usually seen as a very positive mouthpiece for Blake. They interviewed a legal expert in sexual harassment, and he thinks that the case is likely to settle and “I’m convinced lively’s case is seriously flawed—particularly the SH claims.”

Greg Doll is not an expert in sexual harassment. He's a litigator but not a sexual harassment specialist -- his areas of expertise are entertainment law, IP disputes, and Prop 65 defense.

Also, while he predicts the case will settle (not really going out on a limb there -- over 90% of cases like this settle) he also says there's virtually no chance for a no-cash settlement, and that any settlement would involve a payout to Lively. He says the payout would likely be paid by insurance, but it's not clear to me if he's aware of the ongoing dispute between Wayfarer and their insurance companies -- the insurers are refusing coverage for Lively's claims because Wayfarer was aware of SH complaints on set but failed to inform their insurance company, as is required. If Doll doesn't know about that aspect of the case (and there's no indication he does), his assumptions about settlement are kind of worthless.[/quote]

I don’t know who Greg Doll is, I just found it interesting that People who has been somewhat kind with Blake headlines and stories until this latest dump (they did do a lot with the Sony executives calling her stupid and a terrorist and seemed to lap up the Taylor little B texts), is choosing to interview someone who made this criticism of the case.

Most people are not going to know doll’s background or take even one second to look into his area of expertise. They’re just going to skim the article and move on, but it’s not good messaging for her.[/quote]
