On Monday May 4th, the Lively and Baldoni legal teams announced a settlement. After 18 months, and two weeks before jury selection, the highly publicized battle is over - or is it? We review the settlement language and delve into myriad documents from the May 1 drop that I think contributed to the parties finally deciding to drop the issue. New texts and information from the May 1 document drop help to answer key questions and show why a trial would have been a spectacle of epic proportions, one that neither side would have benefitted from. 

Part 21 will be released later tonight that presents new information from the May 1 drop about Blake's business endeavors, as well as more texts and exchanges that paint a clearer picture of sentiments from the women on set.
