. . . This lawsuit is a legal action based on an overwhelming amount of untampered evidence detailing Blake Lively and her team's duplicitous attempt to destroy Justin Baldoni, his team and their respective companies by disseminating grossly edited, unsubstantiated, new and doctored information to the media," Freedman said in a statement on Thursday.

Overwhelming, untampered, duplicitous, destroy, grossly edited, unsubstantiated, doctored, yada yada.

It's never a great sign when your attorney is doing triage with the press. I imagine Freedman is wishing he had Lively/Reynolds/retainers' phones' contents too, because it can't be much fun going to war with his clients' texts to the hired help sensationally providing headlines in the ruh roh suit.

Baldoni's side seems unhinged. Either his attorney is taking him for a ride or Baldoni is dumber then he looks and is directing his attorney throw every stupid allegation he can think of into a lawsuit so the press will cover it.

Did the dude look anything other than dumb to you in the first place?

I think we are at the point where he realizes his career is completely torched, and is just hoping for hail Mary 1 or 2 percent settlement so he isn't financially insecure the rest of this life. He figures at some point it will be in Reynolds interest to settle. Reynolds might prefer scorched earth though. Gonna be fun to watch.

I'm picturing Jackie Chiles sitting at a desk somewhere trying to see how many long words he can use to issue a statement with no actual substance.

Yeah... It doesn't really matter if Nicepool is Baldoni or not. You can lampoon or satirize people all you want. It's free expression. What you can't do is hire a PR firm to spread rumors and false allegations to undermine someone because you may or may not have committed sexual harassment. That's getting into libel/defamation territory, and if those texts really exist about wanting to bury her, you're flirting with actual malice too.

If it comes down to, "She was being a ***** and taking over/He was sexually harassing women and being wildly inappropriate in the workplace," only one of those is really going to come with receipts, and it's the same one you can't legally do.
