2 angry men podcast TMZ: Blake Lively Lost

https://youtu.be/it7ZtAcLelA?si=vdeCiJsKvqBfembS

This special episode of 2 Angry Men features hosts Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos, joined by Los Angeles Magazine writer Lauren Conlin. They discuss two primary topics: the legal settlement between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, and the current state of the Los Angeles mayoral race.
The Lively-Baldoni Settlement (0:42 - 17:28)
• Legal Analysis: The hosts agree that the settlement is a significant loss for Blake Lively. Despite initially seeking over $100 million, the case concluded without any financial compensation or an apology from Baldoni (1:04-1:30).
•Attorney's Fees Dispute: There is a pending issue regarding attorney's fees under a California law linked to sexual harassment claims. However, because the underlying causes of action were dismissed, the hosts find it legally confusing how she would be entitled to fees, noting the judge's clear frustration with the legal teams involved (2:07-5:45, 9:26-9:51).
• Reputation Impact: While they acknowledge the lawsuit was a "disaster" for her public image, the hosts compare it to past celebrity controversies, suggesting that the public's short attention span means her career will likely recover over time (11:06-16:46).

Interesting statement about Judge liman’s father.

*small disclaimer, Harvey is still playing down Blake’s loss 😒

This video from Popcorn Planet features host Andy Signore and attorney Ron Zambrano discussing the complex legal settlement between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
Although a settlement is on the docket, the discussion highlights why the conflict may not be truly resolved.
Key takeaways from the discussion:
• The Settlement Status: While a settlement has been reached, Andy Signore notes that it appears to have "strings attached," as multiple sources indicate no money was exchanged and Justin Baldoni did not sign an NDA, allowing him to tell his story (0:33-0:53).
• The "Loose End": A significant point of contention remains a motion filed by Blake
Lively under California Civil Code 47.1. She is seeking attorney's fees and punitive damages following the dismissal of Baldoni's previous defamation claim. Zambrano explains that despite the settlement, this specific motion remains an unresolved, "loose end" that the court has not yet ruled on (1:05-5:40).

• Procedural Confusion: Zambrano expresses surprise that both parties agreed to a settlement that leaves this specific, narrow motion active, noting it is an unusual tactical decision that exposes the parties to continued court involvement (5:40-9:00).
• The Judge's Role: The host and guest speculate that Judge Liman could potentially be annoyed by the fact that the parties are claiming a settlement while simultaneously asking for a ruling on a motion, suggesting the judge might force the case to trial to resolve the matter properly (9:45-14:55).
Update Note: The video description clarifies that as of the time of release, Judge Liman has ruled the settlement final, though the situation remains a topic of ongoing watch.
