[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blake has been getting some bad headlines for people who aren’t paying that close of attention. It’s making it seem like Justin has won defamation claims against Ryan Reynolds, which a lot of people will just infer from the headlines that Ryan lied about him. Other headlines are saying Baldoni scored a victory in court.

It’s much more nuanced for people who are following the case, but most people aren’t. [/quote]

It isn’t nuanced at all, the Blake/Jones side  lost all of their motions that were decided by Liman over the past two days.  As many of us said at the time, those Rule 11 motions were not going to be granted, and were a bad move strategically.[/quote]

What? The court found for Lively on all of the Rule 11 claims except the one concerning the defamation claim against Reynolds. Liman formally reprimanded Freeman and Baldoni's other attorneys for making "frivolous" and "factually baseless" claims. He declined to grant sanctions but the legal finding is almost entirely in Lively's favor, and this is a key ruling because it puts Baldoni's lawyers on the back foot with Liman moving forward. It also could set up a finding of spoliation against Baldoni that would have major negative consequences for him.

Totally bizarre to call a motion that you one 90% of a "bad move strategically." That was a clear win for Lively.[/quote]
