10. Probing Lively's sexual history is by itself a gross violation of Federal Rules, that coupled with coaching witnesses and actively disrupting depositions could mean we finally see Judge Liman put an end to Wayfarer's misconduct and issue our first sanctions.

6. In one example, when showing a witness a video from a woman who alleges Baldoni invited her to his hotel room when she was a 19 yr old student, Wayfarer's lawyers improperly prevented the witness answering and told them it was the creation of a "drug addled teenager"

4. The letter also cites multiple examples of Wayfarer's lawyers breaking Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, where objections should be non-disruptive, nonargumentative and should not be suggestive to the witness on how to answer..

2. Federal Rule of Evidence 412 protects victims in sexual misconduct cases (including sexual harassment) by generally barring evidence of a victim's past sexual behavior.

7. I have genuinely lost count how many of these Wayfarer have lost and incorrectly asserted privilege on.
But once again Wayfarer's attempt to withhold responsive material has failed.

6. For those keeping score, of the original 106 documents, only 38 remain with a valid privilege claim. Only around 1/3.
Meaning once again Wayfarer's lawyers have been caught incorrectly asserting privilege.

5. To no-one's surprise, having review the documents the court found that the majority of them were not privileged and ordered them to be produced.

4. Liman predictably ordered Wayfarer hand them all over, for review by the court. Having already produced some of the 106 documents, Wayfarer reduced the number to only 80 disputed documents

3. Wayfarer, having pulled this stunt multiple times before and fully expecting another in camera review responded "er actually we just checked and turns out a bunch aren't privileged" and handed them over.
The rest they argued, definitely are...

2. Lively's team moved to compel a number of documents that Wayfarer were attempting to claim were privileged arguing that despite four attempts, Wayfarer still failed to assert any valid basis for withholding the documents.

13. Scooter Braun and Justin Baldoni aren't only connected through TAG, but share a direct connection and friendship.
Which explains not only why Baldoni hired TAG, but also why so much of his PR campaign against Lively is centered on ruining her friendship with Taylor Swift.
