[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well that's that. Liman denied WF request. No Swift,[/quote]

It was quite obviously a PR stunt. It does crack me up that WF can drop Swift's name in a filing and it immediately sets off a million online comments, multiple stories in major publications, dozens of Reddit threads. And then it all goes away when it turns out it was just press bait, but they'll do it again and people will react the exact same way next time.

I guess once Pavlov's dogs are trained, you can't undo it.[/quote]

I was amazed at the number of people who were still insisting Swift had agreed even when her lawyers wrote she didn't. It felt like paid shills but at this point I think it's mostly real people wed to a narrative. Once the judge's decision came through, you'd think the biggest news yesterday (on the lawsuits sub) was Perez having a big win.

I went onto some of the Swift subs just to gage reaction. The big one must have banned the topic since there was nothing. The neutral and Swift snark subs generally thought Baldoni and his lawyers were lying. [/quote]

I mean it seems self evident, based on Swift's lawyers' letter to the judge, and the judge's decision, that Baldoni's lawyers were lying. They said Swift had agreed to a deposition and indicated they were in the process of scheduling it for the week of October 20th, when this was clearly false and Swift had clearly said no. They had not even issued a subpoena for her deposition. It was just a ploy to get people talking about Taylor Swift and the idea that she's "turned" on Lively again.

I think they did it to get people to stop talking about the anonymous letter saying Baldoni verbally harassed someone else on another production and was possibly banned from that set, and this person is ready to testify. If they trotted out a fake Swift deposition to get people to stop focusing on that, it actually makes me think there's more to that story than I originally though (I originally assumed it was going to prove to be a much more minor deal, some creative differences on another set that led to nothing).

I guess we'll see. At this point I really do hope it goes to trial because I want to find out how much of the stuff they've accused each other of is real. [/quote]
