In Friday’s letter to the judge, the lawyer for Lively and Reynolds, Hudson, threw there that the alleged smear campaign which was one of the instigators of all this probably happens in one form or another.
Distributing the names distinctly, she wrote:
Even more disturbing, however, it is that the reprisals campaign which, according to Ms. Lively, allegedly allegedly allegedly supported in her complaint, includes very destructive backstage, including the regular commitment of Melissa Nathan With its vast sources of tabloid media to influence a constant flow of negative media concerning Ms. Lively, as well as a sophisticated and “untraceable” digital social media campaign designed to have an impact on social media algorithms against Ms. Lively. The animated-reynolds parties are informed and believe that these efforts have continued relentlessly since the filing of the CRD complaint and may have been accelerated. The administration of justice in this case will be seriously compromised if this behavior continues.
No date has been set at the hearing requested by Lively and Reynolds on a protection prescription, but Liman clearly said he would think that it would be a good idea to melt the pursuit of Lively against Baldoni and Baldoni against Live Tous . When this can happen is also unknown.
