Earnest question and I guess I need to go and read the briefing on this:
I see folks here and in media talking points referring to “millions” of dollars in fees should Lively prevail on the motion.
But even if successful, the fees would be limited to those incurred in filing her motion to dismiss that case, trebled, no? I can see how that could literally be “millions” but I think it is a rounding error compared to the overall legal fees at issue.
That’s not to say it would be a hollow victory: I think prevailing on the motion would be PR gold for Lively, and a minor disaster for Baldoni.
Given that this is the one and only remaining issue, figured I should ask. The above is part of why it is a bit baffling to me that they were unable to settle this portion as well.
