Nevertheless, Blake Lively Persists (with MJ Morley)

About this episode

Tess Barker and MJ Morley discuss the upcoming trial involving Blake Lively's civil case and the implications of the claims made.

Blake Lively’s civil case is scheduled to head to trial. As the actor is set to claim retaliation against Justin Baldoni, many of her harassment claims have been tossed out on a technicality. Why were some of Lively’s claims actually tossed out? What is at stake in this trial, and what do we expect each side to claim? Joining Tess for a legal analysis of where this case stands today is attorney and writer MJ Morley (@morewithMJ)
