About this episode

The episode discusses the legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, health news about Joe Amabile, and updates on Jax Taylor's relationship.

In this update, we break down the latest twist in the Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively legal saga. Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios have filed new court documents pushing back on Lively's request for nearly $8 million in attorneys' fees and costs tied to their "It Ends With Us" legal battle. Baldoni's team argues the request — covering over 7,000 billed hours from 82 timekeepers — is bloated and excessive, pointing to The New York Times' much smaller fee request in a similar dismissed claim as a benchmark. We cover what this means for the ongoing fallout from their settled lawsuit and what could happen next. Plus, a health scare in Bachelor Nation: "Bachelor in Paradise" fan-favorite Joe Amabile, aka "Grocery Store Joe," has revealed he was found to have a brain lesion that doctors believe may be an early-stage glioma. Amabile shared the news in an emotional Instagram video, explaining he's scheduled for surgery in the coming weeks to remove and test the growth. We share what he said about staying positive and leaning on the support of his wife, Serena Pitt, and his family. 🔔 Subscribe for more entertainment news and legal drama updates 👍 Like this video if you're following the…
