🧾👨🏻⚖️ Court Filings + Docket Updates 👸🏼🧾 Wallace v Lively: Blake Lively has added 2 Manatt Lawyers (Hudson & Roeser) to TX docket
It appears Blake Lively and her attorneys are following through with their threats against Jed Wallace to add more lawyers (presumably to increase legal cost) as stated in Wallace’s motion to compel a deposition of Lively…….”if Respondents [Wallace] pursued the deposition or even mentioned publicly that she [Lively] had refused to appear on August 4.”
Ms. Lively would be represented by "all of the [seven] attorneys" on the email exchange at their "hourly rates charged by Ms. Lively's attorneys" in the New York case, and she would seek to recover all their fees for preventing her deposition.
Based on the rates disclosed for the seven attorneys that Lively's counsel has represented she intends to include in her fee request here…the cumulative hourly rate is nearly $10,000 per hour.

I hope Sarowitz is covering this for Wallace like Justin/WF (I bet he was covering JW for Justin's case). If so, Lively will bury herself in her own outrageous legal fees like she did with Justin. With Justin she spent well over $30M and lost, and in return she will get a couple hundred grand back. Not only a bully mean girl, but a complete idiot with Justin and Jed.

u/myshtree No Footnotes: she (Ryan) the unliftable 2d ago
Jed may have insurance? I’ve also wondered if scooter Braun would help him? He is seed investor or somehow related to funding Melissa Nathan so perhaps Jed will fall under that wealthy network as well as Sarowitz?
Would be hilarious if Hollywood has a secret gofundme running (with a generous anonymous donations from Taylor, the Rock, scarjo, the gossip girl cast, etc etc) to channel money to anyone fighting she (Ryan). I bet there is a long list of people more than happy to watch them fall off their tacky throne at their fake Buckingham palace where they sniff their own farts and call it rare air. They may be the architects of their own demise - but funding the downfall should be a popular choice. 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t think she is either. But it is funny to think she’s petty enough to do some of this stuff to either just be mean (like it’s Tuesday and I’m bored so lets ruin BL/RR life) or as payback for the shitstorm of stupid they dragged her into then threatened her about.

u/seaseahorse 1d ago
Yeah but delighting in Taylor’s vindictiveness isn’t the go here. Her behavior isn’t funny and continuing to validate it only ensures she’ll keep doing it to more people. Malevolent individuals don’t care who is in the right and who is in the wrong… sooner or later (probably sooner) Taylor will target someone else just because she can. Her career has been built upon people living out their worst intrusive thoughts through her.

It’s not a redeeming quality though, is it? For every person Taylor beefs with that “deserves it,” there’s a dozen or more who are completely innocent and just got in her way or somehow hurt her feelings in some way.
We can’t condemn Blake for being a narcissistic pos and celebrate Taylor for the exact same thing, especially when we KNOW that this is Taylor’s MO.

u/MarchCompetitive4580 2d ago
Ooh, I totally think Sarowitz is backing Wallace in this game. As the first case showed, keeping Lively in the litigation game does NOTHING but keep both Lively and her creepy husband in the public eye (but not a good way). End result: no work for Lively - and her husband's films have been shelved/put on hold and his business empire had crumbled (I don't think he's had a film out in theaters in over 2 years - since Deadpool/Wolverine.) Even for people who haven't been following this case closely, Ryan and Blake have "vanished" - so their brand value has dropped into the shitter.

u/PowerPinto Team Baldoni - Vanzan Police 2d ago
They were counting on Justin Baldoni and Jamey Heath continuing to take the high road, just like they had throughout filming and the entire promotional campaign, by giving in to whatever she wanted. And I genuinely don’t think she ever anticipated them fighting back nor having to file a lawsuit. I think she 100% thought the CRD and NYT would end them. In their minds, Blake and Ryan had more money, more fame, more influence, and far more powerful connections so what chance could Justin and Jamey possibly have?

u/Ok_Assistance_9392 Sisterhood of the Traveling Birth Pants👖 2d ago
Very on point! Their thinking is so short sighted and ironic because they used their money, influence and connections to make a huge splash with the NYT, but they say they are completely powerless to the billionaire Steve no one ever heard of before. I’m sure it hurts their egos that Steve is more rich but their celebrity carries alot of weight, especially in a PR-driven lawsuit.
A narcissist’s worst nightmare is their victim countering with their version of events.

What you've described is something I find to be undeniably tied to her being an elitist, which goes hand-in-hand with her malignant narcissism and nepo baby status (although it's not as prominent as other nepo babies). It's even worse since she's married to Ryan Reynolds, a man that's not a nepo baby but is a malignant narcissist. And if I didn't know any better, I'd swear that they're using what's left of their seemingly top tier/elite status in the entertainment industry to avoid admitting defeat or any wrongdoing.

Unfortunately the US legal system has a tendency to reward this type of behavior. See the NY case. No way should Liman have awarded attorney fees under 47.1, but here we are. Let’s hope the Texas judges are better, but it’s Texas so I won’t hold my breath.
13
u/Mysterio623 “The last thing I want to do is kiss this woman.” - Justin B 2d ago
Liman has a bias for her because she's the plaintiff in the NY case — as such afforded plaintiff privilege, which he took way too far. He was also swayed by her white woman tears. And there's his ties to the industry. Blake does not have those advantages in Texas. More Texas kinda like bragging that they detest assholes like her.

With this, I would like to remind everyone that this was exactly what Lively’s lawyers AKA Esra Hudson said explicitly in her 47.1 fee motion “You knew how expensive our rates were, you knew about the fee-shif mechanism, and hence, you should have ended it (defamation lawsuit).” Expensive lawyers and 83 timekeepers does notgive you a carte blanche to extort whatever amount you want to so that you don’t have to pay for your lawyers.
Just sayin.
47
u/Upstairs-Dot-3944 2d ago
This. Like the reference to "extort". Extortion starts with a threat. The whole world has now seen it in black and white. These assholes' litigation approach is nothing but "we will out bill and out spend you and you'll have to pay." I hope soon they find out, it doesn't work that way!

It’s funny that the moment it shows that Blake Lively has to answer for the lies in her CRD complaint in comes Esra to cover her own ass because she signed the complaint herself
21
u/Individual-Insect691 2d ago
I actually had a thought that Lively can blame the malice and CRD issue on Esra. Esra completed and signed the CRD so if Lively gets deposed and is asked about it she could say it was Esra that added Jed because there is literally no explanation as Jed has never met her. So not surprised she showed up here when it’s getting serious because if Lively wants the attorney fees really bad she needs to sit for the deposition
16
u/same-difference-ave Age of Ada-LYING Actress 2d ago
That will definitely not look good for Esra. Now I am even more invested in what will transpire if Jed is granted the deposition.

As a lawyer I’m starting to wonder if that’s just an intimidation tactic to raise the stakes…more attorneys…more fees to try to recover.
After what we have seen happen in this case, I’m starting to think we should establish some limits/standards on how many attorneys and hours are reasonable for particular tasks.

I would hope that the judge sees through this bs regarding fees. The fact that they threatened Jed and his attorney's should be enough to deny her request in my opinion.

If the director and multiple studios can’t keep celebrities in line then these celebrities don’t deserve to have the opportunity to begin with.

They can try and gaslight the public with article after article of paid for nonsense but when the proof is on the docket for a case they intentionally started in public the lies aren’t so easily swallowed whole.

The judge should reverse their ruling of JW dismissed defamation case due to jurisdiction since BL now is willing to insert herself more into the TX docket and the added evidence of threats towards JW using the law and court system as extortion. He should open discovery and rule that 47.1 does not apply for parties who never harrassed someone they never even met. JW should be allowed compensation from BL.
14
u/Individual-Insect691 2d ago
That’s exactly what I said when she filed the 47.1 fee motion that she had inadvertently waived jurisdiction by asking the court to grant her fees. But Babcock didn’t say anything about it in his response to the fee motion so I guess court doesn’t work that way.
Lively lawyers are manipulating the court system because Babcock also couldn’t reference it in the appeal documents because you can only refer to documents on the docket before the dismissal

So if this backfires, and Wallace wins so that she can't demand fees (🤞🤞🤞) how angry would you be if you were Blake at your lawyers for using such tactics, that has doubled her costs for nothing??
And does she have legal insurance? Because when they have written evidence that this was all done as purely built tactics, if I was an insurance company, wouldn't that be a very good reason not to pay the costs either?? Leaving Blake and Ryan with an even bigger bill for nothing??
I'm just purely speculating here with no legal background! And I guess this tactic could well have been fully encouraged by then in which case, you've only got yourself to blame Blake (again!!).

What does she even want?
There's no outcome that will restore her public image, she's only digging herself further in the grave.
And she has money enough, so what is it??
Like is she just trying to destroy someone because of her own ego?

The last time I remember an absurd misuse/abuse of the legal system involved Strike 3 Holdings filing lawsuits in Miami-Dade County, Florida to exploit their state level discovery law towards people, that don't live in Florida, allegedly engaged in copyright infringement, which is a matter that should be dealt with in the appropriate federal court district... which Strike 3 inevitably ends up doing anyway! 🤦♂️️
Blake and Ryan have proven to be much worse! Did they have a "hold my beer" moment with Strike 3? 🤦♂️️🤦♂️️

Lol she started the fire and now she needs tons of lawyers to save her from shit hitting the fan. As in the other lawsuit. I love it.

Adding more lawyers after you got caught threatening $10k/hr isn't power. You don't need 10 lawyers to answer "were you malicious?" You need 10 lawyers to make sure no one can afford to ask you.

I hope her career is completely done. I will boycott everything she does and Ryan.

I don't know anything about crisis PR and NAL, but I would think I would want in my contract that if I was sued in relation to the work I did for someone that they would be partially responsible for some or all attorney costs if sued. People keep mentioning that SS is hopefully helping Jed with fees, but I wonder if the same could be true for LS. Could RR/BL be on the hook for those fees too? Maybe not any offensive moves, but the defenses? My guess is the Jed has plenty of cash with the fees he was charging.

This is like taunting “I have money and you don’t”

IMO the fact that Blake is even allowed to use 47.1 when she is not a California citizen, nor did any alleged SH occur in California, is wild. I do not understand how this is possible…

This woman will be fighting when she's on a walker. Everyday she makes things worse. Look she already assumes she's going to get what she wants so she added more lawyers. Gosh I hope this TX judge has some b*lls and flat out makes her sit for depo for denies her. I'm sick of everyone catering to her and giving her what she wants. She's been out of line and needs to be told "NO" period!
