Uh, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, reputational effects, all that kind of stuff.

Uh, it did not happen here.

Yeah, enough that the judge feels like it's worthy of going to trial and letting a jury hear it out.

So again, headline, Justin Baldoni sexual assault allegations have been dismissed.

That's the headline right now.

And on its surface, that sounds pretty fucking bad for Blake.

And again, not good for Blake that they got dismissed necessarily.

But when you dig into the rest of this,

baldoni is very much not out of the woods with this case and uh... and it is going to trial and now i will say i was curious i'm like is blake gonna refile has her lawyer said anything about that their statement was a little vague

Gotta say, didn't really sound like they are.

I'm sure they have very good lawyers Yeah, which that was part of it is is why I wanted to really dig into this is We were kind of speculating about it before you what love brought up.

It's like what's with these lawyers?

How could they be so stupid?

They're not wrong.

I don't think they're stupid I think that they were trying an angle and another thing is this is something I've heard about lawsuits too is that when you're doing this kind of thing oftentimes the lawyers will

do like the kitchen sink approach yes they'll throw a bunch of what i said spaghetti cannon right exactly and just see what sticks essentially yes and in this case they got three to stick so which is a lot exactly so in a way this they might be viewing this as a w i think it is honestly right so uh here's the statement from the lawyer uh blake's lawyer sigrid mccauley

uh... said lively uh... quote looks forward to testifying at trial and said quote uh... the case has always been and will remain focused on the devastating retaliation and the alleged effort to destroy lively's reputation and after she raised safety concerns on set

And I agree.

It has always been and will remain focused on the retaliation.

Excuse me.
