[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really doesn't matter to the legal case but that is embarrassing for Lively. Though one does wonder how "organic" it is that Flaa "found" the comment and then Burke ended up on Megyn Kelly.[/quote]

You have to be a particular type of moron to think that anything that is happening to Blake now is the result of social media manipulation or some type of smear campaign by WF.  Even if WF had been conducting some stealth campaign against Blake, in 2024 (and there is, by her attorney’s own admission, no such evidence), WF would not have continued such a campaign once the lawsuit was initiated and certainly not three years later.[/quote]

Right. If you watch the interview, sounds like Burke was upset Blake tried to go on a 47.1 roadshow. Someone on Reddit said Blake wanted authorship of 47.1 lol[/quote]

If this is true then Burke is getting in her head for weird reasons. I follow this case closely and have zero sense that Blake is on a 47.1 "roadshow", was not even aware that Blake or her lawyers were advocating in other states for 47.1 laws, and it has never occurred to me that she's trying to eclipse any of the original creators of the law (and there are many, not just Burke, though Burke does call herself the "Architect" of the law in all of her bios and job descriptions without offering any credit to the other authors and advocates of the law).

She may perceive Blake as stealing her thunder or disagree with how Blake has chosen to advocate for 47.1 type laws. I would be open to those criticisms and it's a conversation worth happening. This was also an issue with the #MeToo movement, which was started by activist Tarana Burke but popularized by actresses like Rose McGowan and Ashley Judd when they came forward with allegations against Weinstein. The media started acting as though the actresses had started the movement and Tarana was briefly eclipsed, but then they worked together to re-center her, appropriately. That's how advocacy works sometimes, and celebrity advocates and spokespeople are both incredibly useful at raising awareness and also sometimes liabilities when their fame and specific stories get centered over the movement. It's a dance.

But to raise these issues on MEGYN KELLY while defending Johnny Depp?

Girl, bye.[/quote]
