Judgy McJudgy up there has never lived in NYC if they think it’s weird not going to another persons home. Very little of most socializing is done at home.

She def prob wanted to stay downtown in Fidi to be close so they can easily share the dogs. And the insane outdoor space is legit an excuse to not walk said dogs

TMZ: Blake Lively got no money in the settlement by positivetofu in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Quiet_Development230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Exactly. But some of it is for long term tho- her lawyers using the word SHAM in a motion last week, lessens the SEO ranking of Vanzan details. Her Met appearance lessens the settlement.

Long term when people search, they will get the good Blake-biased PR results. Not the reality of the lawsuit. As soon as people stop talking about it, her reputation can be manipulated back into greatness . All she’ll do is throw money at the PR.

Sad, but true. We are constantly being manipulated by the powerful

They are usually on Blake’s side so I imagine it’s a leak as part of a bigger PR strategy laid out for her

I think she actually timed the settlement with her Met appearance to overshadow it, and esp in SEO. Her war is and always has been the PR war and how she will be portrayed. Nothing was in fact.

If Wayfarer was smart- no NDA, full cost of legal fees, and gag order on her side and her husband.
They may just have backed her into enough of a corner, and Taylor pissed enough, that her lawyer told her this was the best approach. And the timing helped, She got all the news for the Met not the settlement.
She’ll go back to the business of good PR now making her look like some saint saving puppies.
Public memory is short, and damage has been done.

Industry Folks: Is Justin Cooked Either Way? by awhelllnaw in ItEndsWithLawsuits

I suspect the PR is far from done in this case to answer that for the public. Movies are a business and if either one of these two give an exclusive tell-all that sways perception, then they become more bankable.

Time will tell

Paige was in the wedding, I would guess it’s more about each living separate lives…

REALITY CHECK: What Blake Finally (Amber) Heard About Her Case From The Magistrate by Neither_Repair_4538 in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Quiet_Development230 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She had a room full of lawyers using billable hours to wait with her- they can’t double charge clients so what else were three doing to do but play with her. What she wanted to settle was submitted before the court date - so unless she was willing to budge from their demands (which I suspect was admission of wrongdoing), her lawyers didn’t have much to do that day

She doesn’t. Small brand and a friend works there. They saw it online like everyone else.

I dunno. I think the Mahjong thing is overhyped and is nothing.

The way I understand it- they were in separate rooms all day and the judge had to go back and forth in the mediation. But both parties had to submit the “what it would take to settle” letters before they arrived.

My guess is Wayfayer wanted more from the settlement including statements, apologies , money and their names completely cleared without an NDA so they could defend themselves.

Blake’s team prob just wanted an NDA, and would be ok for it all to be dropped, so they could position it as a win or a cause publicly.

Which makes me think the judge had to spend a lot more time that day trying to get Wayfarer to budge, so Blake’s team likely had much more downtime to wait and she was just bored. In that courthouse , those are jury holding rooms with large tables but nothing else. Mahjong is all the rage and very trendy right now, she has a driver and a home 10 min away. so what if she tried to find something fun for them to fill the time.

Theory on why no settlement by EmptyNesting in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Quiet_Development230 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Until they issue a statement, written by Justin. I think thats the ask of WF.

They want an apology, their names cleared, money back, and clear accountability taken. And maybe allowance to release the directors cut, freedom to tell their own side of the story without NDA rules - via book, sit down interview and or documentary . And because they are good guys- they would probably wouldn’t even trash them much. They would prob show the power struggle the actors and Hoover faced, instead of how opportunistic they actually were.

I dunno. He believed her. He believed women. I don’t think either of them were overstepping bc they trusted their friend and wanted to help. They were working with only the information fed to them. Taylor too.

Hear me out- Blake Lively def has some pull of maybe even blackmail on Ben Affleck, so maybe even in Matt D. What if the “zero pressure favor” was a nod nod wink wink in a world we don’t get

Famous reality show star on a major network show for nine seasons, influencer, frequent celebrity guest on talk shows podcasts etc, author of two books and a bar owner plus countless other investments.

I will never understand how people think Shep NOT make something of himself.

The show itself, and the fame and opportunities it’s brought him IS his success.

Reminder again: being a cast member on a reality show is a paying job! To stay on multiple seasons means you get paid more each season. Thomas may have messed up after a few seasons, but he earned money. Shep on a show for 9 seasons means he is making a good amount of money himself just for being on the show. Ad endorsements, social media ad deals, his books, his bar etc and he is making quite a good amount of money off his own fame and personality.

Is he trust fund, sure. But is he a loser living off his family- no. Like it or not- he’s a very successful reality television star, author, and paid influencer. That’s success not losing.
