Legal team, this week we are departing from our Bravo cinematic universe and jumping into the world of drag to discuss the trademark dispute between Pattie Gonia and Patagonia.

Please don't judge our British accents too harshly while we read out loud the personal text exchanges between Dorit, PK...and their children. And make sure to listen to the end of the episode to hear an update on Kandi Burruss’ divorce!

What’s on the docket?

• Our opinions on Dorit’s situation and public discourse

Well Legal Team, we recorded this before the news broke that Erika settled, which is HUGE news and brings an anticlimatic ending to this 4 year-long legal battle . Last episode, we went through the claims that were going to the judge, and now we are tackling the claims that were going to the jury. Even though the trial won’t take place, we hope this episode still provides knowledge and understanding around why this $25 million lawsuit was sold, what claims against Erika were being pursued by the plaintiff, the key witnesses from each side, and what Erika’s defenses would have been.

What’s on the docket?

• Proposed duration of the trial
• Who are the key witnesses
• Background on how expert witnesses are paid/handled
• The claims going to the jury
• The plaintiff's key evidence
• How plaintiff must prove that the transfers to EJ Global were fraudulent
• Breaking down avoidance of fraudulent transfers and constructive intent
• How plaintiff must prove that using the embezzled client trust account funds and firm operational funds to pay for the personal expenses constitutes a wrongful disposition of Girardi Keese property

• Account stated claims and what they entail
• Why was the lawsuit even sold at all
• What jury selection is like

Legal team, we’re back with another Below Deck lawsuit. Emile Kotze, a deckhand from Below Deck Season 3, is suing production, claiming that production created a hostile work environment for the sake of TV ratings, including forcing him to engage sexually with another crew member as well as discrimination and deceptive editing. We dive into this lawsuit and share our thoughts on Emile’s claims…are they valid or is this going to be an uphill battle for him?

What’s on the Docket?

• What does Emile’s lawsuit against NBCUniversal actually claim, and why we think he used AI to write it
• What is included in the Below Deck background check and Emile’s answers to their questions
• Hidden cameras and how surveillance on reality TV has gone too far (we don’t need to see people in their underwear)
• Receipts, including emails between him and producers, that Emile provides as evidence
