[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The legal case is interesting, but the PR side is much more fascinating and I vehemently disagree with the poster who said whoever wins the case will win in public opinion. The trial is almost a year away and that ship has sailed for Blake. This latest Taylor news is humiliating for her and there’s simply no way around it.

As another poster said she could’ve easily said she wasn’t at the premier but saying she didn’t see the movie for weeks is a pretty low blow. Saying that she was not involved in casting decisions, that’s going to bite Blake in the ass because now she’s caught in a blatant lie in front of the world. She had young Lily stand on the red carpet and say that Blake told her that Taylor helped cast her. I can pretty much guarantee that’s one of the way she blew smoke up Isabella’s butt - and got her on her side. Lured her in with Taylor.

I’m betting the cast saw through this pretty quickly after Baldoni got his side of the story out and that explains the end of their support. [/quote]

I disagree because what I've noticed is that in the last few weeks, the vast majority of people I know have totally moved on from this whole controversy and don't care one way or the other. They are not breathlessly reading Taylor's rep's comments on TMZ and they certainly aren't following the legal case.

By the time the trial rolls around, I think most people are going to be like "is this still happening? what?" And as a result, whatever the outcome of the case is, that's what they'll believe.[b] Especially since the case will not be televised or streamed, there won't even be cameras in the court room so the most you're getting are reports from a handful of news agencies (no tabloids will be allowed in the courtroom, so unless TMZ can snag one of the handful of seats for the public, most of the reporting will be straight up and not sensationalized) and some court sketches.[/b]

Sure, the people obsessing over this case (including me) may not be persuaded by a court ruling either way. But the average person? Absolutely. It will be one round of headlines that either says "Lively loses sexual harassment and retaliation claims" or "Lively prevails in sexual harassment case against former director" and people will be like "okay I guess that's that."[/quote]

Ah, that's a good point. Obsessives like us will probably follow via twitter (InnerCityPress covered previous hearings and he is very thorough), but regular people will read reports funneled through NY Times and picked up by other media outlets. Legacy media is more friendly to Lively obviously. There won't be video clips of a terrible cross exam of anyone. Will be interesting to see how the pro-Baldoni TikTok and YouTube crowd cover it.[/quote]
