"Clearly Disappointment": Justin Baldoni Lawyer Responds to Blake Lively Lawyer's Public Comments

[00:00:00]You certainly sound like you're ready to move on and sound like your normal, sane, classy self.

[00:00:05]I got a different vibe listening to him.

[00:00:08]Uh here he is again back with Matt Belloni on um his uh his podcast, The Town, uh sought for.

[00:00:16]>> So, what are you hoping to get here?

[00:00:18]Give me a best-case scenario dollar amount that you could collect and from who?

[00:00:23]>> So, I I want to step back from that because this lawsuit has never been principally about >> money for our client. It has been about accountability. It has been about shining a light on this underground smear machine that retaliated against her for raising claims of sexual harassment and retaliation and has harmed so many other people. And what you've seen since Blake stood up and brought this lawsuit is evidence coming out in our case that has led to to information being used now in other litigations, uh the Nicholas case, um the Amanda Ghost case. This underground smear machine has been exposed and people are now on notice uh that if they see a you know, if you see a a Matt Belloni sucks.net website pop up, you're going to maybe have an idea of who might have put that website up.

[00:01:12]>> What's your reaction to that, Brian?

[00:01:14]>> You know, my reaction to that is is that what you're hearing is clearly disappointment on his part. Um and it's disappointment that that he didn't get the numbers um that that he hoped to get in this case. He didn't get the result that they hoped to get in this case. And and you know, clearly when you bring a case um and and you hope to prevail on that case, if you have the evidence to show that you're right, you go to trial.

[00:01:45]And so, it was really easy for us to to to end up in a trial. All the all um Blake Lively needed to do was to say, "No, I'm not settling. Let's go to uh trial and a jury of our peers and let's see what we can get." If it was so good, why do you settle a case exchanging no money? It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't pass the smell test.
