[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will wait and see. There were many cases where the Baldoni side was very sure in their speculation which turned out to be incorrect. Ferrer's silence along with that text message were taken as strong support for Baldoni, until she filed that motion essentially saying he was threatening and coercing her over the attorney's fee. Then the narrative shifted to Ferrer being a snake.

Baldoni fans were speculating that Taylor Swift announced her engagement on Blake's birthday as a diss or something like that, and that songs "Cancelled" and "Ruin the Friendship" were anti-Blake and that Swift has passed info to Freedman to help Baldoni. Only Swift did not agree to be deposed by Baldoni at all, and wouldn't unless forced, and most observers think "Cancelled" is pro-Blake. Which is admittedly weird, as Swift has not made any public overtures.

And I'm not even saying they ARE still friends, just that I'm open to various possibilities as we only know the tip of the iceberg in what is going on.

Just look at those depo pages that got unredacted... we only got a couple of pages of 3 depos out of dozens that have taken place, not to mention all the rest of discovery. We really know very little so far. It is not good to be making proclamations about how things are so that when it turns out it isn't that way, you have to add another person to the long list of conspirators with Blake.[/quote]

Those aren't the examples I'd use (I don't think Ferrer or Taylor are particularly central to this case) but I agree with the idea that we don't know very much.

I think it's weird that people reject the notion anyone can be neutral on this case. I genuinely am. I found Blake's original complaint compelling, and then I found Baldoni's complaint compelling in a way that made me question Blake's allegations, and then I have found the discussion and dismissal of Baldon's complaint interesting in a way that has made me question Baldoni's defense against Blake's allegations. Thus I truly am neutral at this point and curious for more to come out and wonder if we'll ever really know what happened. I especially want to hear from other people who were present -- cast and crew members, people from Sony, etc. Would love to see more footage from the set.

I find myself very skeptical of people on either side who are 100% convinced that either Baldoni or Blake is totally in the right. I think there's no way that's the case either way -- they are probably both culpable for the conflict between them, and it's just a question of whether it's 50-50 or like 80-20, and if 80-20, which is which. And I really couldn't tell you. I wasn't there and I've seen evidence to support both sides.

Anyone who comes along and tries to tell me they know exactly what is going on in this case, I immediately distrust. Of course you don't know! You weren't there, and you don't personally know any of these people. You are just picking a team and rooting for them. That's not compelling to me.[/quote]

Like many of us, I’m a lawyer.  I disagree that we don’t know what the parties have, the support for the discovery motions  and the second amended complaint tell us a lot about what Blake has.  Example one, the content creator affidavits, she dropped each one that was challenged, which she would not have done if she had evidence to support collusion between the content creator and WF.  Example two, the second amended complaint, even after a good amount of discovery exchanged, she has discovered nothing to connect Wallace to the case to establish jurisdiction over him.  Example three, the motions to get wide ranging discovery from Freedman and his law firm, Blake presented no evidence showing a connection between Freedman and anything other than the public website made to present Justin’s timeline after the complaint was filed.  A year in, and no other women, from this cast or others, has accused Baldoni or Heath of sexual harassment.
