We fought and won against a coordinated effort built on allegations of sexual harassment, retaliation, and a smear campaign that never happened. Ms. Lively demanded over 300 million in fees and damages, had 10 of her 13 claims dismissed, she then chose to settle and received nothing.

Notwithstanding that all of her sexual harassment and defamation claims were thrown out by the court, Ms. Lively then pivoted to exploit a California law that was established to protect real victims in what proved to be a fruitless mission to obtain damages.  Once again, she failed.  

My clients got blindsided by a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist and was threatened by one of the most famous movie stars, who tried to rip away their life’s work and pristine reputations.  Not only were we successful in exposing the truth of their actions, but by the consistent dissemination of facts and evidence, we made sure that justice prevailed.

Ms. Lively was only awarded limited attorney fees for a single claim as part of a case that lasted only a matter of months, nothing more.

Throughout this process, innocent people had their reputations unfairly tarnished. There was no sexual harassment. There was no retaliation. There was no smear campaign. The court recognized it, the record reflects it, and we have maintained it from the very beginning.  We would not hesitate to stand up for the truth again.

A 12-year-old girl walked into a police station carrying a letter about her “friend” being ra4ed by her father and grandfather.

The friend was her.

They had been ra*ing her since she was 10. When they started targeting her younger sister, she finally found the courage to speak.

She admitted she stayed silent for years because she was afraid her mother wouldn't believe her.

Then came the most disturbing part.

The mother wasn't devastated that her daughters had been violated.

She was devastated that her husband was in jail.

No income. No provider. No paycheck.

Some parents don't protect children.

They protect the people who hurt them.

And before anyone asks why so many victims stay silent, remember this story. For countless children, the biggest fear isn't the abuser.

It's the parent who already knows the truth and decides the family budget matters more than the child.

The most dangerous place for a child isn't always a stranger's house.

Sometimes it's their own home.

Canadian DJ and producer Deadmau5 (Joel Zimmerman) paid $30,000 in veterinary costs after 27 cats and kittens were rescued from a Milton home and taken to a local shelter.

His donation covered critical medical care, including emergency surgery for a cat suffering from a life-threatening infection.

If I were pregnant and informed that my fetus had Down syndrome I would absolutely abort. No amount of social media romanticizing of profound disability would change my mind. Contrary to popular opinion, you need more than love to care for a disabled child.

[Ìléríolúwa @Ilerioluwakiye_]

Unpopular opinion:

If I knew my unborn child would have a severe disability that would require lifelong intensive care, I would seriously consider termination.

Not because I don't value disabled people. Not because I lack compassion but because love alone doesn't provide specialized healthcare, financial resources, emotional resilience, or round-the-clock caregiving.

Raising a child with profound disabilities can demand sacrifices that affect parents, siblings, and the child themselves.

People should be allowed to have honest conversations about whether they are truly prepared for that responsibility without being shamed for it.

bro to bro: if you like skinnier girls, get yourself a skinny girl. if you like thicker girls, get yourself a thick girl. if you like fitness girls, get yourself a fit girl. you are entitled to your own preferences.

but what you are not going to do bro, is date a girl who is not your type and make her feel inferior to other girls.

Six MCU characters who gave everything to this franchise and never got their moment

1. War Machine 15 years. Fought in every major battle. Still waiting for a solo film. Rhodey deserved his own story years ago.

2. Sam Wilson had the best character arc in the entire franchise in Falcon and Winter Soldier. Now Captain America. Barely visible in Doomsday marketing.

3. Hawkeye fought aliens, robots and Thanos with a bow and arrow for 11 years. His reward was a Christmas Disney+ show.

4. Maria Hill spent 10 years building SHIELD back from nothing. Died in a post credits scene without a single line of meaningful goodbye.

5. Betty Ross appeared in The Incredible Hulk in 2008. Never properly mentioned again despite Bruce Banner appearing in 9 films since.

6. Sif Asgardian warrior. Thor's closest ally in the comics. Appeared twice across 15 years. Both times in someone else's story with no resolution.

Evangeline Lilly just said what nobody inside Marvel was willing to say out loud

Disney laid off almost the entire Marvel visual development team artists who spent 10 to 16 years building the visual identity of the MCU.

Lilly's response :

"SHAME ON YOU for turning your back on the people who built the power you are now using to throw them away."

She called it "disgusting and horrible."

These are the people who designed Iron Man's suits. Thor's hammer. The Infinity Gauntlet. Every world, every costume, every frame that made the MCU what it is.

Let go. While Doomsday trailers are playing in Las Vegas.

Andy Park — Director of Visual Development for 16 years — posted on social media that it was the "end of an era."

He worked on over 40 films.
His last project was Avengers Doomsday.

The people who built Marvel's greatest chapter won't be there to see it open.

Evangeline Lilly said shame on you.
She's right.

Her name was Josie. She was a 17-year-old blind lioness in South Africa. Her two daughters hunted for her every day. They also used her to hunt. Prey would freeze and stare at the blind lioness while Dawn and Duffy snuck around and attacked from behind.

She lived in Addo Elephant National Park. She was put down this past October. She was older than almost any wild lioness on record. The oldest ever was a lioness called Mathata. She made it to 19. Most wild lionesses only make it to 15 or 16. Josie spent her last five years nearly blind, and she still got there.

Her right eye went first. Then her left started to fade. She would stumble sometimes as she walked. She'd call out softly so she could follow Dawn and Duffy by their voices.

Lions usually don't look after their sick or injured. Wild animals rarely do.

In May 2019, Josie had three grown sons. All three were sedated for a move to another reserve. One brother took longer than the other two to come out of it. He was groggy. He wobbled when he tried to stand up. His two brothers killed him right there on the spot.

Her daughters did the opposite, and the reason has a name. Biologists call it kin selection. A biologist named Bill Hamilton wrote it up in 1964. You share a lot of your genes with your kids, your siblings, your parents. So if you help those people survive, you're helping some of your own genes survive. Evolution rewards that.

Female lions stay in the pride they're born into for life. Males leave. So a daughter grows up next to her mother. She shares her mother's genes. Helping her mother stay alive helps keep those genes going. A son doesn't get that same payoff. He'll be forced out of the pride eventually. A brother who can't walk straight won't help him survive what comes after.

Josie lived past the age any wild lion has any right to reach, nearly blind, in the company of the two animals who had the most reason in the world to keep her alive.

This is your reminder that Ben is an avoidant attachment style.

He loves Jen. When he gets her, he freaks out and ruins it. They break up.

He then reactivates his love for her (it isnt freaking him out) and they get back together. He loves her. He freaks out. They breakup.

It goes on and on until the avoidant goes to therapy to break the cycle & have healthy relationships — or, their partner decides to never entertain this/them again. Then the ex partner becomes the avoidant’s phantom ex that they idolize forever going forward and compare every new relationship to… unless they go to therapy and break the cycle.

The fact that Justin Baldoni was dismissed from the case & still wants to testify, says everything.

This is a clear msg to Blake: ‘U tried to bring ur dragons to take me down…but I’m right here. Ready?’

Face to face. No fear.

Now the real qn is..will ur dragons show up?

genuinely sad that a woman can break an olympic record and the first name mentioned is her loser boyfriends instead of her own

[Queen Esther @XOQueenEsther]

So what happens if the roles are reversed?
Imagine a male actor on set who ‘improvises’ by grabbing his female co-star by the crotch like Blake Lively did to Henry Golding in A Simple Favor (she openly admitted it was her idea and bragged about going for it hard because ‘her character would do that’).

Or picture him planting an unscripted kiss on her like Blake Lively did to Justin Baldoni in that deleted hospital hallway scene from It Ends With Us (footage shows her initiating the kiss that wasn’t in the script).

Would that be celebrated as bold, fun improv and ‘strong woman energy’ turned around?
Or would it instantly be labeled sexual harassment, create a hostile work environment, spark viral outrage, lawsuits and career-ending headlines?

So are there actual standards, or just selective outrage?
Makes you wonder 🤔

A 15-year-old girl in Bradford, England, avoided prison after st**bing the man who s**ually ab*sed her when she was eight.

The man, 56, survived the attack, and the teenager later surrendered to police, citing frustration that her abuser had previously escaped a custodial sentence.

Judge Jonathan Durham Hall spared the teen from detention, calling a prison sentence "callous and cruel" given her significant trauma. Instead, she received a youth rehabilitation order focused on support and supervision.

Nope. If you are complaining about Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury. You are just racist. Like that is one of the best castings in the MCU.

[Sachin Jose @Sachinettiyil]

Neil McDonough, a devout Catholic actor known for his refusal to do kissing or sex scenes out of respect for his wife, Ruvé, recently made a rare exception—but with a twist. In his latest film, the script called for a kiss at the end, so McDonough convinced his wife to play the role of the woman he kisses. That way, he could stay true to both the character and his convictions.

The couple, who have five children together, made the creative decision to preserve his long-standing vow while honoring the demands of the story. McDonough has previously paid a steep price for his moral stance. In 2010, he lost a $1 million role on the ABC show Scoundrels after refusing to perform sex scenes with actress Virginia Madsen.

“They said, ‘You have to do it, or you're fired.’ I said, ‘Then fire me,’ and they did,” he recalled. “I was blackballed for two years. I couldn’t find work, and because of that, I lost my big beautiful house in L.A., my shiny Mercedes, everything—including my confidence. It was crushing. People saw me as some kind of religious fanatic. But for me, it was just about doing what I believed was right. And above all, I love my wife. As I’ve said a million times—these lips are meant for one woman.”
