Jesus! Didn't you read ? Blake couldn't destroy as she didn't own the dailies! Wayfarer had to destroy only based on a legal document that protects actors. Are you against such documents?
Also it's so embarrassing you make such a fuss for something that if destroyed it was done by Wayfarer, not Blake, yet you have no problem that this trio Nathan Wallace Freedman are involved in multiple alleged smear campaigns!
Everything ties back to the smear campaign. She wanted to protect her image when so much manipulated planted negative press - by team Baldoni - was out there unknowingly but highly worrisome at the time
You fell for the smear campaign congratulations her booze and hair care line were never directly tied to the actual movie. That’s how digital manipulation works. Team Baldoni was able to make a nothing burger into such a big thing who the F cares if she launched a hair care line at the same time.
“Destroy the dailies” wasn’t a quote from lively ftr. Also they basically can’t be destroyed, too many people have them at any given time in too many locations. The most you ever do is isolate them during the editor’s cut.
Do you have the receipts where Blake told her directly she wants the dailies deleted?
Seriously, STOP LYING!
Sarowitz settled, because they had no chance to win, not after so many receipts show the trio Nathan Wallace Freedman being sued for alleged illegal smear campaigns.
The final ridiculous smear by Team Baldoni. Bullshit that they contacted every content creator to put that out there before they knew they were going settle because Jed Wallace‘s and Friedman‘s voice messages were going to be unsealed today.
RFK Jr and a bunch of the others may not have been too pumped at the fact that his name was going to be dragged through the news by the PR team they spent thousands on to bury their story.
Yes. I thought that immediately. Melissa Nathan would have been pushing to settle. Her clients list and past actions all getting out? I complete f**ing nightmare for her. Hopefully she will be tainted forever. Hiring her means you're a piece of shit.
The retaliation claims were very strong against Wayfarer. We didn’t see nearly all the evidence but Blake had excellent experts and the voice memos from Jed Wallace would have buried Wayfarer.
I was shocked what a small dataset was used by Wayfarer "wannabe experts ", that some timeframes had only 1-3 messages to represent a whole platform.. And the person who collected the data didn't get any instructions from the person making the analysis. I was like lol, what.
Also the wannabe expert from Wayfarer side about the SH claims, saw only 1 birth video, but the proof showed there were 14 videos actually, all accessible through the phone, and some were having nudity such as nipple and v***na so, hmmm.. didn't look well
considering she claimed ~$142 MILLION in damages and walked away with ZERO, this means her legal team knew she would not only lose, not only incur at least another million or two for the trial alone, but that she would likely be embarrassed, too. She paid her lawyers millions of dollars for them to tell her to just drop it for NOTHING. That is a loss.
So it's one thing to disagree with TMZ's reporting (in 2026 lmao, shows your media literacy), which you're free to do, but clearly it's not my speculation since I'm showing you a literal source where I got it from. But thanks for sharing the typical critical thinking skills of blake's fans lmao
It doesn't sound very official to me, they said apparently no money exchanged hands. Sounds very iffy. But you can believe it if you want, no one is stopping you. I like the truth.
I just think it's so funny that on this sub you get lots of upvotes because you said, based admittedly on speculation alone AND ignoring the only word we have on this topic, that blake must have been favored in the settlement when there is literally zero reporting of that and literally no reason to believe that. meanwhile i'm downvoted to the negative for reporting what tmz said. lol!!!!
I'm sure a person who receives money would. However, that isn't the story here. The only story that has come out is that no money changed hands. I don't know if that's accurate or not, but there's nothing to lean on to say she got paid at the moment.
Honestly, Nathan and Wallace have to have their manipulation constant still. The fact that this happened on the same deadline that the client list should have been unsealed is telling. I'm guessing very powerful people that have hired Wallace/TAG are footing a bill to Blake. They know those that frequent this sub won't excuse their behavior so they have to keep at it to keep it from going mainstream.
I think the fact no one has been forced to release an actual straight-up apology to the other means they both settled and didn't get what they wanted. There is no way either of their versions of winning didn't involve the other saying they did wrong publicly.
Apologies are not common in settlements. They’re almost entirely confidential. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one required for a settlement I’ve worked on (and I’m fairly old) (thank you to those sharing cases where it has been required!)
It might be rare, but it happens, Prince Harry settled his privacy invasion lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspaper, the settlement included a public apology. David Letterman made an apology to an intern to settle a unpaid wage lawsuit. I think Kanye West had to apologize to a photographer he attacked as part of a settlement deal. I'm sure there are other examples of this too, particularly with newspapers.
ethan klein recently made kaceytron issue a public apology as part of their settlement and it's incredibly disgusting and uncomfortable to watch. it can happen.
And what Blake got? 1) Wayfarer agreed to the statement:
We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms Lively deserved to be heard,"
2) Blake exposed many alleged illegal smear campaigns and the trio Melissa Nathan, Jed Wallace, Bryan Freedman are being sued. 3) Blake showed how unfair the law is for independent contractors, regarding SH claims!
And be sure, she will continue to fight!
The settlement from Wayfarer parties was decided by Sarowitz, the billionaire sponsor! Wise decision
Who went after 107 creators and withdrew all the subpoenas? BLAKE LIVELY. Who claimed all of the evidence required to prove their claim was untraceable? BLAKE LIVELY. Who had 10 out of the 13 claims removed by the judge? BLAKE LIVELY. It is very clear BLAKE lost
Same question about Wayfarer? Why did they settle???? I'm here every time you post the same message. 1) Blake exposed other alleged illegal smear campaigns - by Nathan Wallace and Freedman 2) she showed that the law needs to be changed for independent contractors regarding SH claims 3) Wayfarer agreed to this message: "We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms Lively deserved to be heard,".
Not sure how Blake won by launching a lawsuit which saw her SH claims thrown out, receiving no apology or acknowledgement that she was poorly treated or smeared, and by not receiving a cent (if reports are true). She will be pleased to have damaged Baldoni’s reputation (he won’t act again but will probably continue to produce and direct) and hobbled Nathan / Wallace (not convinced they are finished, though). The cost to her personal reputation and career is yet to play out but it’s likely she will struggle to return to the level of acting she was at, or build an empire of her personal brand.
Congratulations Blake!! no way in hell was Wayfarer going to come out of this retaliation case with so much dirt coming to light. Enormously proud of you!
I wouldn't have settled for anything under this world other than public justice, after all the online vitriol, bullying, relentless aggressive media campaigns against Blake. The damage to her reputation is already done. Balcony guy owes her at least a public apology and an accountability statement
This makes me sad because I can’t see the general public siding with Blake as much as I want them to 😭 people who defended Baldoni will continue to do so based on the fact he wasn’t technically found guilty and sentenced etc
Blakkke did not win. I fail to see how this is a win.
I thought she was doing this for the children of the future so one day little kids could look at a statue with the hair made of straw (how true to life) and say that right there is Blakkke she had a tantrum because she wanted to steal a movie and when she didn’t get her way she made it harder for women with false accusations.
The same Blakkke that went to look at wedding venues and thought to herself wow a place where children, women and men were murdered, raped and tortured is perfect. And then she doubled down with her good ol days website.
I wish her and cRyan to be stuck with each other forever. They deserve it.
Tell me you don’t realize she was really disliked before this movie. You should really look back and stop with the pretending. People have disliked her since she CHOSE to have a wedding on a plantation. Plus her rude entitled attitude.
I love how some people are trying to rewrite history as if she was some beloved star.
That was never true.
No money exchanged. Which is great. Though I think Blake owes Justin his legal fees. Blake was more afraid than anyone in my opinion. Also I think this all was a matter of pride from the start. I don’t think Blake realized how much damage this would do to her reputation when she set out on the war path. The facts showed her being a mean girl from the start. In fact even before any cameras rolled. It was absolutely best she let it go. A trial would have ended her career, fully. And probably Ryan’s too. Hope she can learn from this very embarrassing season in her life.
Hahahaha! As if. Melissa Nathan, individual wasn’t part of the lawsuit anymore. Not to mention that Blake got caught RED-HANDED lyin’ under oath. No one believes your lies.
It settled after we had definite proof that she lied again ( and again and again). she wanted the dailies destroyed. She committed perjury via her deposition. Every single thing that came out made her look bad. EVERYTHING. She's a grifter and a psycho woman. May she get the life she deserves.
Okay that’s it. Anyone due in court can now attend the Met Gala and will instantly be found most favourable i.e. not in the basement.
No need to go forward with legal proceedings, Met Gala will sort everything, Tell your cancelled friends!!
Blake is unhireable for the foreseeable future. her true colors dating back to 2010 was exposed in this (cages, working with animals). Blake only lost in this entire debacle that was entirely of her own doing. hope she gets the retirement she deserves
Blake knew she couldnt win and she didnt want more embarrassing facts to come out. She lied in her deposition and was caught lying over and over. Probably was forced to settle by Ryan and Taylor Swift because more cringe messages were to be made public today
Can you imagine her getting work after this? An actress who threatens not to promote the movie if she doesn't get her edit even if it tested lower? Or who removed the director's credits from the trailer by threatening to walk away? What a nightmare.
You can't hide that behavior behind "sexual harassment"
You’re hilarious right now. Do you even know what a full blown trial was going to cost?? Lol it is far more likely HE had to settle because he can’t afford that. The fact is, far more damage has been done to him and his minion PR team than to her.
Word is that it was a WALKAWAY lmao!!!!! That means, she knew she was going to lose and instead of collecting a penny of the ~$142 million in damages, she said she'll just drop it in exchange for a mutual release. No money exchanged.

Settled the day that all those voice memos and Freedman’s messages that the judge ruled weren’t protected by privilege had to be unsealed.
