The Lively-Baldoni Legal Drama

I’ve been following the legal drama currently taking place between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni for the past three months. And a few weeks ago, I started a new Substack publication called Celebrity Justice to lay out the various court filings as they unfold. Since then, I’ve been debating whether or not to blog about it, too, giving my personal commentary.

At first, I just wanted to present the facts to whomever might be interested, but now, this case keeps getting more complex and I don’t have anyone in real life to talk to about this matter…and I want to talk about it.

There are several YouTube channels that I’ve been following which are covering this case; however, I have way too many comments that I’d like to make regarding this case and personal responses I’d like to make regarding their content. But I’m hesitant to voice my thoughts & opinions on their channels because I know I can’t keep my comments concise — and I don’t want to dwell too long on social media.

I’ve decided to share my commentary & personal perspective on the Celebrity Justice Substack I just started and to create a page here on WiggleCulture to simply report the facts.

If you would like to read my commentary & potentially engage with me in discussion on this case, then please subscribe to my Substack.

And if you would like to read the documentation regarding this drama, then please bookmark Blake Lively / Justin Baldoni Legal Drama and check back regularly.

Here’s a list of the different YouTube channels I have tuned into (some more than others):

• The Court of Random Opinion – Lauren Neidigh generally goes “live” to read aloud the legal documents on these two cases as soon as they hit the docket. [Warning: She cusses a lot, but I like her personality & enjoy her sense of humor.]
• Ask 2 Lawyers – Stewart Albertson and Keith Davidson were my go-to lawyer friends early on who have done a wonderful job of breaking down and explaining the legal aspects of these cases and the documents filed in them. I’ve really enjoyed watching their takes on all of this.
• Kassidy O’Connell – Kassidy O’Connell is a lawyer (I believe) with an amazing voice. She does wonderful presentations, asks great questions and breaks down her logic brilliantly. I love her. (She’s become a favorite of mine.)
• Leanne Newton – Leanne Newton is a UK attorney, who I just started following. From what I understand she’s done brilliant work on X/Twitter, but I’m not on that platform. She recently started her own YouTube channel, and that is how I’m now connecting with her.
• Flaawsome Talk – Kjersti Flaa is a journalist and has worked in Hollywood as an entertainment reporter. She seems so sweet, and I really appreciate her attitude and reporting on various celebrities and behind-the-scenes perspective of both Hollywood and journalism.
• Popcorned Planet – Andy Signore is responsible for turning me onto pop culture justice. I appreciate his perspective and the various interviews he does with a variety of relevant figures & different lawyers close to the celebrity industry. He’s currently working on a documentary about this case called, “It Ends with Justice”, which I support.
• Daily Dose of Dana – Dana Bowling used to work as a television casting director in L.A. and has a lot of behind-the-scenes insight and assorted connections within the acting industry. I find her entertaining as well as thoughtful. (While she covers other pop culture material, I only tune into her coverage of this case.)
• Without a Crystal Ball – Katie Joy is an independent investigative journalist and has done incredible work on this matter. She presents her work audibly against a visual slideshow of relevant images & video clips that I haven’t seen elsewhere, and she walks through a lot of the legal filings as well, giving her experiential understanding.

Other channels I’ve checked out in relation to this legal drama and appreciate, but don’t follow as much are: Zack Peter, Colonel Kurtz, Melanie OFF Script, and ELSRICH TV.

Personally, I’m not interested in the political discussions or celebrity gossip (and I’m not following any other legal cases right now), so whenever anyone goes there, I generally turn them off. But, after listening to each of the above content creators, I’ve come to like each one of them for various reasons, and I appreciate hearing their personal takes on the matters relevant to this case.

Are you following this case? Please tell me about it in the comments below. 🙂
