One question, the AEO protection seems very extreme. How likely is it that it gets approved? And if not, why would they ask for it to begin with? I had the same question about Blake's request to not being deposed by Bryan. I think the lawyers clearly knew that the judge would not agree to it.
As I've said before, Baldoni's team does not play well with others. The problem I've been focussed on - which admittedly is not part of the record or claims (yet) - is how the onset incidents were allowed to occur despite very experienced crew and legal oversight from BL, from Wayfarer and from SONY. Like most businesses today in the US, there are systems in place to protect folks in the workplace (think OSHA for actors). And here's the upshot: if BL, a wealthy and successful actor can't protect herself if the allegations prove to be true, then what will become of the new young actor, looking for her first big break and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for it. Who and what will protect her?
Thank you for this! I hope Lively's Team do get the protection order they are asking for! I can't believe Baldoni's team mentioned about Ryan Reynolds making that joke on SNL.
Surely some of the witnesses are crew and potentially still Wayfarer employees. Maybe, just maybe they'd like to tell their truth without losing their job because JB, JH and SS have access to all evidence. This one seems pretty simple to understand why it would be needed.
Thank you so much for this! Would the SNL joke hurt BL's team?
I don’t think so. Notice how Baldonis team did not say what the joke was.

I think baldoni is such a hypocrite. Fighting against things that would protect witnesses. But at the same time making a tantrum about phone logs.
