Summary
After Blake Lively's team filed to pursue legal action post-settlement, this pod took a turn. It now begins with the continuation of unsealed documents shared in the May 4 drop, but then pivots what Lively's legal team filed and how Justin Baldoni/Wayfarer's legal team just responded. The unsealed May 4 documents include new texts between Blake and Colleen Hoover, Blake and Liz Plank, Blake and Isabella Ferrer, as well as texts from Alex Saks and Ange Gianetti. Each set of texts further illustrates the different grievances and issues each woman had with production and/or Justin Baldoni. In the end, this case provided a valuable sneak peek into the movie and pr industries and served as a cautionary tale, regardless of profession, about how we treat each other and how we see ourselves.

Information shared is for entertainment purposes only and is sourced via published articles, legal documents, press releases, government websites, public websites, books, public videos, news reports, and/or direct quotes and statements, and all may be paraphrased for brevity, and presented satirically and in layman's terms.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the high and low podcast. This is your host, Bravo, Bravo, Ducking Bravo, and we are jumping right into part 21 of a deep dive on. It ends with us. |
| 0:14.4 | While I was doing this deep dive, I saw the update. I saw that it's not over. I thought it was going to be. |
| 0:22.6 | I was wrapping it up, put a nice little bow on it, reflecting on the things that we've learned. But then, Blake Lively's team |
| 0:28.4 | came forward with their intention to, after the settlement, they're like, great, now that we have |
| 0:34.0 | the settlement, we're going to come after all of these parties individually. |
| 0:42.3 | We're so glad that you signed that settlement, that you said the specific language that you said, |
| 0:47.9 | because now we're going to use that language against you as proof that you did something wrong. |
| 0:51.4 | And you're going to owe my client a lot of money plus legal fees. |
| 0:55.6 | This is something Judge Lyman is going to have to rule on now. So it is not over. |
| 1:00.3 | And knowing that, me now from the future editing this, I'm just going to tell you what this pod's going to be now. I was saying goodbye to this case. So I was going through all these documents, |
| 1:05.3 | just filling in gaps, giving us more insight into things that we otherwise would have found out |
| 1:10.8 | more about at trial, |
| 1:12.7 | but all we had was the last batch of uploaded documents going through text messages between |
| 1:18.0 | Colleen and Blake, Blake and Jenny Slate, Alex Sacks and Anne's Janetti. I'm going to read all |
| 1:24.3 | of those still. All of that is as close as we will ever get to the insight |
| 1:29.3 | we would have gotten in a trial. It also balances out the vast amount of text messages and |
| 1:35.7 | personal communications that we heard from the Wayfarers side. It's like, okay, well now let's |
| 1:39.9 | give the other side their time. So this pod is going to start, as I teed it up from part one, |
| 1:44.5 | with looking at these documents that were included in the drop that seemed to paint a picture |
| 1:48.7 | that Blake Lively's brands were struggling or having issues around the time that the movie was |
| 1:54.5 | coming out for reasons that cannot be attributed to Justin Baldoni. You see what you think |
| 2:00.1 | when we go through it. Then we will get |
