Now that we've finished the... facts... it's time to actually analyze the law, and to do that, we're going to summon our attorney Anne Linder! How do the legal claims in this complaint stack up? Is there any there there?

GG19 - Part 19 of LvB is Part 9 of Wayfarer et al v The New York Times We've made it! The last parts of this complaint actually talk about The New York Times (you know, the defendant in this case) a little and we give our closing thoughts on the Wayfarer's telling of this whole story. Next up: LAWYER PORTAL!

This is the complaint we're working from if you want to follow along.

GG18 - Part 18 of LvB is Part 8 of Wayfarer et al v The New York Times

We're getting closer and closer! Join us as we examine a number of 'graphs related to the editing bay, the different versions of the film, and other post-production goings-on, including Sony's response throughout. We also talk about the premiere from Baldoni's perspective from the theater's basement, and his engagement with Melissa Nathan's The Agency Group to manage crisis PR in the fallout post-premiere. There's a ton to talk about in this one!

GG17 - Part 17 of LvB is Part 7 of Wayfarer et al v The New York Times That's right! Let's hear how the Wayfarer folks present the 17-point list from Blake Lively's lawyers during the filming of It Ends With Us. Before we get into the attorney-drafted protections for return to production, we also dig into the Wayfarer spin on the circumstances when Lively alleged Baldoni and Heath did not respect her privacy in her trailer while she was breastfeeding and pumping.

GG16 - Part 16 of LvB is Part 6 of Wayfarer et al v The New York Times We dig into some key defenses from the Wayfarer parties, including Baldoni's intentions in asking a trainer on the film about Lively's weight, Lively's supposed production "takeover" through script revisions (and how her husband, Ryan Reynolds, was involved with those pages), as well as Wayfarer's position regarding Lively's concerns about the intimacy coordinator's involvement during filming. Stay for the outro to hear some extra digging!

GG13 - Part 13 of LvB is Part 3 of Wayfarer et al v The New York Times

Let's get to some more 'graphs! The screenshots that are part of this section of the complaint highlight the seedy world of Hollywood tabloids and Public Relations personalities - its also the stuff that was "corrected" a couple of days later in a revised filing from Bryan Freedman, but we're sticking to the original so you, dear listener, get the full scoop of what's happening with the Wayfarer team.

GG12 - Part 12 of LvB is Part 2 of Wayfarer et al v The New York Times Oh boy! We finally arrived for those who have heard the reference but have been unclear what it meant: the infamous emoji! What emoji was it, why was it missing from The New York Times article, does it matter that it's not there, and who bears the responsibility for its exclusion? We dig into the details as we continue through the Wayfarer parties' lawsuit against "The Grey Lady."
