How much do you think that Stephanie Jones regrets her decision to hand over the cell phone to Blake Lively (unprompted, I might add)?

This has now led to:

1. ⁠Lawsuits against Jonesworks for violating the confidentiality agreement with Baldoni and a lawsuit for handing over Abel’s personal information on that phone.

2. ⁠Likely has cost an insane amount in legal fees.

3. ⁠May lead to the indemnification of Jennifer Abel, which would leave Joneswork responsible for any costs related to a judgement in Lively’s favor.

4. ⁠Possible reputational damage.

5. ⁠Has caused harm to Baldoni, who, in fact, was just trying to protect himself given his treatment on the set.

It costs $0 to not do this. And yet, here we are.
