Summary

On Friday, January 17th, 2025, the US Supreme Court upheld as constitutional the law that would effectively ban TikTok if it doesn’t divest from Byte Dance, who operates the app before January 19th. That leads to the app ‘going dark’ on Saturday, January 18th, due to the law, and then surprising users by reinstating some service on January 19th. The Bill allows for a one-time 90-day extension to the Bill's implementation with some very specific carve outs. Let’s take a look at what those are. On Thursday, January 16th, the latest in the saga of litigation stemming from the set of ‘It Ends With Us’ was filed in Federal Court in New York. This suit, which attorney Bryan Freedman had been stating would be filed, sues Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their PR representative Leslie Sloan and Sloan’s company. The suit alleges essentially the opposite of Lively’s previously filed suit, that it was Lively who contrived a media smear campaign against Baldoni and her complaints of harassment on set was fabricated to use as leverage to ‘take over’ the movie and wrest control from Baldoni as director and Wayfarer as the studio. Both Lively’s suit and Baldoni’s suit now have the same Southern District of New York Judge, and the first date is set in the Baldoni suit. Lively and Reynolds waived service, so their answers are due on March 2nd, 2025.
