According to @Variety—more pointedly, @blakelively's publicist #LeslieSloane—the case was framed as something of national importance, with arguments that its outcome could influence how victims of sexual harassment come forward. That’s a compelling narrative. The court, however, saw it differently.
Judge Liman dismissed all of @blakelively’s federal claims, including those under Title VII for sexual harassment and retaliation, along with her California Labor Code claims. The state law claims—sexual harassment, defamation, false light, and conspiracy—were also dismissed.
In practical terms, that means both @blakelively's federal and state sexual harassment claims failed to survive the Wayfarer parties’ motions for summary judgment and judgment on the pleadings. In breaking down the allegations, the court was methodical:
— A pre-employment comment about circumcision... penis talk? Not actionable—wrong time, wrong context;
— Discussions about more explicit scenes? Considered part of developing a film centered on adult themes, not evidence of discrimination;
— Comments about weight and physical condition? Interpreted as role-related, especially given @blakelively’s own stated fitness goals;
— On-set physical interactions during a dance scene? Seen as within the bounds of performance and improvisation;
— “Sexy” and “pretty hot” remarks? Acknowledged as inappropriate, but not severe or pervasive enough to meet the legal threshold...
Not quite the landmark moment it was billed as 🤷🤷

@drugproblem Blake dropped her case because it came out that she and Ryan asked Sony to destroy evidence in the form of dailies something she said in her depositions that she didn't do so that was perjury. I understand why she wanted to settle trial would have been a disaster for her.
Aziz Ansari just appeared as Kash Patel on SNL, and they went innnnn on him
"I'm a trailblazer. I'm the first Indian person to suck at their job. Everyone says Indian people are smart, hardworking, incredibly intelligent. I prove without a shadow of a doubt that we can be just as incapable and incompetent as the whites."
I'm convinced this was segment done to gain more attention, after Druski video she knows it would be clipped and talked about. More clicks = more money.

Trump spent years saying wars and high gas prices were bad. He ran an entire presidential campaign on it.
The cult voted for him to end wars and lower prices.
Now, Trump says wars and high gas prices are good.
The cult cheers.
These truly are the dumbest people in history.
@jakepaul Stop wearing PR flag on your shorts when you get in the ring. You do realize the reason your easily allowed to live in PR is because it's a U.S. Commonwealth and everyone there is a U.S. citizen....Go back to LA.
@tommartell It’s almost as if these scumbags become ice agents specifically to act on violent tendencies knowing they’ll be given a free pass or celebrated
New UNSEALED private Ryan Reynolds texts are disturbing, aggressive, manipulative, and pure projection. Long lectures about “ego” while orchestrating his own back-channel smear campaigns. And dragging Johnny Depp into it!? GROSS. This isn’t accountability — it’s control.
I want a president who doesn’t try to make the American people panicked and terrified over the daily ups and downs of the stock market just so he can personally derive some benefit from the panic.
