Blake Lively’s Case Without Emotional Damages | Jury Pool Is On It
Emotional damages might be off the table in the Lively v. Baldoni case — so what now?
We’re back to talk about what losing emotional damages really means for this lawsuit, and whether Blake Lively’s claims still hold weight. The Jury Pool (that’s YOU) had some incredibly sharp insights in the comments, and we’re giving credit where credit’s due.
We’ll also reference California’s jury instructions (CACI) to break down how these damages usually work and what this shift could mean for the trial ahead.

Another update in Lively v. Baldoni—and this one’s all about strategy and signal.
Blake Lively is now withdrawing claims, and we’re here to break down what that actually means. Is it a win, a retreat, or simply nothing at all?
Plus, Judge Liman denied Baldoni’s team’s motion. Is the court signaling that no evidence will be considered? That the parties need to resolve this on their own?

Conflict of Interest? Esra Hudson, Amicus Briefs & the California Women’s Law Center
We’re digging into a new issue in the Blake Lively v. Justin Baldoni defamation case: Esra Hudson—Lively’s attorney—is a board member of the California Women’s Law Center, one of the groups that just filed an amicus brief supporting her.
Is this a conflict of interest? Should it have been disclosed? Does it impact the integrity or optics of the amicus support?
We break it all down as real lawyers, explaining what this could mean legally—and publicly—for the case.

Baldoni's Lawyer Fires Back: Will the Briefs Be Tossed?
Sometimes the law—and live shows—don’t go exactly as planned. We’re down one lawyer today, but Keith is holding it down solo to keep you in the loop and make sure the jury pool isn’t left hanging.
In this episode, we break down Bryan Freedman’s newest response to the amicus briefs backing Blake Lively and her motion to dismiss Justin Baldoni’s lawsuit. Will the briefs stay in or get tossed? Keith gives his take on what might happen next.
Plus, a quick teaser for our next episode: “If Not Defamation… Then What? Rebuilding Baldoni’s Lawsuit.” We’re looking at the alternative causes of action Baldoni could bring instead.

Amicus Briefs in Lively v. Baldoni: Advocacy Groups Back 47.1 Defense
Another twist in the Blake Lively v. Justin Baldoni defamation lawsuit—and this one’s big. Advocacy groups are now backing Lively by filing amicus briefs in support of her motion to dismiss, citing California’s new Civil Code Section 47.1 (the so-called "Me Too Law").
In this episode, we’re breaking down:
- What an amicus brief actually is
- Why advocacy groups are getting involved now
- What this support could mean for both sides and their legal strategy
- And how it might shape the court’s view of 47.1 going forward
