We dig into history to tell stories that explain why we are where we are today.

And we're very excited that we get to do this on stage as well.

And soon we will be doing it at our biggest ever live show.

There's a link to buy tickets in the show notes.

And the good news is if you're a patron, you get a fairly substantial discount.

So if you've been thinking of signing up, now's a good time.

Take them.

So let me tell you why our client is happy, ecstatic with this settlement.

The reason that our client is happy with this settlement is because it gives her the power and the opportunity to pursue what we believe is her most potent and powerful claim in a way that is efficient, in a way that is final, in a way that the defendants have no appeal rights over, and in a way that cuts off

most of the noise that would be surrounding this case and lets us get straight to the core issue of how the defendants retaliated against her, specifically the retaliatory lawsuit that they filed that called her a liar, that branded her a liar.

It's not one of these statutes where there's discretion for awarding the damages once the conditions are met.

And we believe the conditions have essentially already been met.

And now they're going to be held liable for compensatory damages tripled, punitive damages tripled,

and attorney's fees when we established the elements of this 47.1?

So I want to step back from that because this lawsuit has never been principally about money for our client.

It has been about accountability.

It has been about shining a light on this underground smear machine that retaliated against her for raising claims of sexual harassment and retaliation and has harmed so many other people.

And what you've seen since Blake stood up and brought this lawsuit is evidence coming out in our case that has led to information being used now in other litigations, the Nicholas case, the Amanda Ghost case.

This underground smear machine has been exposed and people are now on notice that if they see, you know, if you see a MattBellanySucks.net website pop up, you're going to maybe have an idea of who might have put that website up.

Thank you.
