And she exercised that independence in negotiating the terms under which she would return to work.

Although not every factor weighs equally in favor of that conclusion when viewed in isolation, analyzing the factors collectively eliminates any genuine dispute.

I just think this is a situation where she couldn't have it both ways.

She couldn't say that she had no power and then also have this repeated pattern of having a lot of power.

Yeah, and get the PGA credit.

I'm powerless when I want to sue Justin Baldoni, but I'm all powerful and omnipotent on this film when I want the PGA credit.

Exactly.

I think that also what's really tricky about this, and we discussed it earlier on the phone today, is...

You know, when you think about her actually going to file this case, I do think there's a responsibility here for her attorneys to lay this out and say, you know, you had these experiences and you do want to sue this person, but this doesn't ladder up to what you're suing for.

And I find it really hard to believe.

And maybe she just had money hungry attorneys around her who were fine to kind of ache her on and bill her handsomely.

Yeah.

And that's completely possible.

But there is, I think, a moment where even if she believed that he was creepy and all of those things, an officer of the court, you know, her attorney should have had the responsibility to tell her that you don't actually have a case here.

And if that conversation happened,

I do wonder about her decision to still press forward and if it's born out of narcissism, vengeance, delusion, all of the above.

I don't think that she made all this up to try to ruin his life.

I do believe that she thought all this happened to her.

I just do think she bears some culpability, though, in bringing a suit against Justin Baldoni that is unfounded.

And going on with it for this long.
