Breaking news in the Justin Baldoni Blake Lively legal saga. Judge Lyman announced this morning on Tuesday, December 9, the trial will not be moving forward in March, but we may have a decision as early as January. Lots to get into. I hope you're ready for it. Let's dive in. This is no filter with Zack Peter your go to source for all the latest pop culture and reality tvt Serve fresh all week long. Now let's dive in. What's up, guys? Welcome on in. Welcome on in. Welcome on in. Everybody in the clear. Herb, forgive me. I am fresh from the gym. I was going to take a shower and get ready and I have a morning full of meetings. But then obviously this breaking news hit and it was like, whoa, what's going on? Wackadoodle time Completely caught me off guard. And so we're doing it. It's getting. Yes. So we'll get into all of that in just a hot second. Lots has been going on. Lots of people have been reacting to my Miley Cyrus lawsuit. I just want to clarify that. The lawsuit I discussed yesterday, it's been making its rounds on social media today. Are my videos going around? And I just want to remind everybody that the case was dismissed with prejudice. Billy Rice Cyrus did win. Miley Cyrus does not have a secret mom that gave birth to her at 12 years old. Back in 92, the judge completely dismissed and threw all of that out. So that's one less legal drama that we can move on from. And then also, people have been asking what happened with Tom Sandoval, Ariana Maddox and Rachel Leviss's lawsuit, Remember, over the coochie video? Rachel was suing them for, like, invasion of privacy and all of those. She was coming after Ariana and Tom and people like, wait, what happened to that lawsuit? Is it happening? Is it not happening? It is still currently pending. It has not been dismissed. It has not been tossed out. The scandal lawsuit is still moving forward as of right now, but I believe there was a delay because Ariana Maddox is waiting for a hearing on whether her case will get dismissed. I believe that is happening in January, maybe February. And once that is. So we were a few weeks away, still quite a few weeks away from getting a decision on that and seeing whether or not Rachel Leviss's lawsuit against Ariana will move forward. It's pretty sure the case against Sandoval will be moving forward unless he settles. And as of right now, it does not appear that anybody has been settling. Now, that said, there was a hearing this morning with all of the parties with Judge Lyman with Blake Lively's attorneys and Justin Baldoni's team, where Judge Lyman revealed that he's busy. Judge Lyman said, hey, you guys, I'm. I'm a little busy right now. He's like, I have two other trials. And these two other trials are just as important as this Blake versus Baldoni trial. However, he is saying that because the other two trials that he has to tend to are criminal trials, that he has to postpone Blake Lively and Justin Baldon's trial. He's like, this little thing. We have to move it. So he's pushing it back until May. So May 18th is the new trial date for Blake Lively versus Justin Baldoni. Let's see. Trials. Judge Lyman is over seen. I wonder if I know people have been upset with Judge Lyman. Yes, it says he's currently overseeing the high profile legal dispute by Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. But what are the other. I want to know what his other two. I don't think it's been publicly revealed anywhere. It's not quite out yet. What other two cases? I want to know what other two case. Like, doesn't Judge Lyman know that this is the most important case, the case, the number one case that we're all waiting and hoping gets resolved and disputed soon? Judge Lyman, you think we just fell out of a coconut tree? You think we got all day here? We don't got all day. Can we expedite it? If your other two cases are taking up too much time or will be taking up too much time, then you know what? Let's just expedite. Baldonian Lively. Now. There may be. There is a sliver of a chance. There's a hearing on January 22nd where I believe Lyman will be. Lyman will be overseeing the motions for summary judgment. And in that, I believe Judge Lyman will be making a decision on whether or not this moves forward to trial or whether or not he's going to dismiss Blake Lively's claims altogether in Justin Baldoni's motion for summary judgment. We'll see what happens. As of right now, trial is no longer set for March 9th. It's now set for May 18th. So. So we got a little more time to go. I just want this case to be over. Like, I'm just at the point where it's like, we've seen enough, we've heard enough, we've read enough, and, like, Judge Lyman just needs to know it needs to be over now. Can we just quantum leap ourselves to this finish line? Because, like, I just need a decision. Christina said the Judge has sev. Has some other criminal cases that take precedent over civil cases. Sure, Christina, I know that's what he said, but, like, come on. Copper said, my husband is going to be pissed that he has to hear about this until May now. I'm pissed that we have to talk about this until May now. But like I said, there is. The next hearing is set for January 22nd. People. People magazine was the first to report on this. But this is where Judge Lyman. The January 22nd hearing is where Lyman's going to hear the oral arguments for summary judgment, and we will ultimately see whether or not he moves. So there's a good chance. There's a very. Well, there's a slim chance, I should say, that this case ends in January and that Judge Lyman says, you know what? This does not need to move to trial. I will rule on the motion for summary judgment. I will rule in favor of Justin Baldoni. I will dismiss Blake Lively's claims against him with prejudice, without prejudice. We'll have to wait and see. Can he just dismiss the case already? He can at the hearing on January 22, but we have to wait until January 22 for the judge to make a decision. And until then, he has a couple of other trials that he needs to tend to. So everything's getting bumped, and we will have to wait until May for the trial to play out. But, my God, were we ready? And apparently, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are expected to take the stand at trial come May. Isn't Blake Lively tired already? I don't know how she's not tired. I don't know what type of caffeine she's on. Because we're all tired, Blake. We are tired. We are tired. We are sick and tired of all of this. You keep dragging it out. Actually have a very serious question, okay? Because Cookie in the. In the chat says their reputation is already cooked. We are tired. Yes. And I want you before. I do not want impulsive responses. I want very sincere, genuine. And I want you to take a minute to think about this question, okay? Because I've been thinking. I thought about it last night. I thought about it a little bit this morning, and I again, I want you to not impose like, I know you're gonna have an immediate reaction, but I want you to let that immediately, let it be a fleeting thought, and. And really think about this answer, okay? Because I feel like Blake Lively, I was watching. And Freddy, I like to watch him on YouTube. He's a tarot card reader, and I just like listening to his perspective on things sometimes. But I was listening to him and he was just like, blake should settle because her reputation is continuing to circle the drain. I agree with that. Now, my question to you is, if she were to settle, okay, before you impulsively response, just hear the question, let's let it marinate, think about it, digest it, then answer. Okay. In the comments, in the live chat where we're at, if Blake Lively were to settle before trial, would that. I know you already hate her, but would that make you hate her a little bit less? If she just was like, you know what? I'm throwing in the towel. Would you hate her a little bit less? Like, just a little bit? Okay. I'm not saying you're going to love her, because I know people are automatically like, justice for Justin. We have to fight. He needs to be exonerated. She needs an apology. All of that aside, would you dislike her a little less or would you dislike her a little more should this go to trial? You know, that's the thing. That's what I want you to really marinate on, because I feel like the immediate reaction is, nope, we hate her regardless. But would you hate her again just a little, like 2 centimeters less? All right, I'm gonna let you answer that. And while you ponder on that question, I want to give a shout out to. To this week's sponsors. You know we love our sponsors.

Okay Everyone says I'm smelling a settlement. Not that she needs my forgiveness, but I were. But if I were Baldoni, you would. You would forgive her? If she's remorseful, I would forgive her. Okay. Okay. Raquel LM Hansen says selfishly, maybe hate her a tad bit less, but it would all depend on the PR around her settling, which I'm thinking the PR settling would lead to hating her more. Yeah, it would. Right. I think there's a lot of. A lot to consider. Right. Because you have to, like, there has to be a level of remorse, and there also has to be a level of accountability. And I don't think she's willing to do that. So I think it's hard to forgive her if she's not like I've always predicted from the very beginning. Glow says I would respect her for saying, I see now that I got this wrong. I think that's what we would need in order to forgive her. And I don't think we're ever going to get that from her. I think this is a battle of egos. I think it's an ego. I mean, arguably, as much as it's about Baldoni's ego, I do think it's about his reputation. Arguably, he's won over the public. And I think even if Blake does win at trial, like, it's not really going to change anything. Like, Baldoni has already won in the eyes of the people. Even if. Excuse me. Even if he's found, you know, liable at trial, if he's, you know, found to have done these things by a jury, I don't think that it would necessarily hurt his case. I think the public has seen and heard enough. And I think based off of what we've seen and we've heard, I don't know if there's any sort of forgiveness or retribution for Blake. Even if she wins or loses at trial, I think if she wins, people won't care. They'll think that the system is rigged, and if she loses, she'll cry that the system is rigged against women. But I think even if she loses, like, it's only going to make people feel validated in their disdain for Blake Lively. I don't think there's any salvaging her reputation at this point. It's gone way too far. But the sad, bad part is it's continued to go on and salvage all these other people in the process, like Isabella Ferrer. I don't think we'll ever. I think her career is done. Maybe if she changes her hair and changes her last name and, you know, tries to rehab her image by coming back as somebody completely new. That may work, but like the. The stain of it ends with us will stick with everyone. Colleen Hoover, like so many people are now doing, deterred away from calling Hoover books based off of the way, which then turns them off to her movies solely based off of the way. This is playing out with her involvement with Blake Lively and how they, you know, really turned everything against people. The judge is in a no win situation. We're lost. I'm going to pull over and ask that man for directions. Hi there. We're looking to get to the campground. Well, you're going to take a left at the. The old oak tree end of this here road.

Donna Bowling says she's caused so much damage at this point, I feel like she is an awful human, especially if she settles. Listen, the thing is the. The tornado came and it hit, right? As much as we're all praying that a house would come and fall on Blake Lively, the tornado just split, spun and everybody is. Is caused. Is part of the wreckage. At this point, I do want to add. Okay, so Brandon Skinnar, I guess that's a really Good point. Because Jenny Slate, didn't she have the. The show Dying for Sex, and then she has another project. So I kind of feel like from a Hollywood perspective, it seems like these people are still getting cast. Brandon Sklinar is in that new handsmade housemaid. Sorry, With Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. So he's still getting cast, he's still getting roles. I mean, you're gonna get mad at me, and I know you're gonna get mad at me, but I wanna see housemaid. I like Amanda and I like Sydney Sweeney, and I wanna go and support both of them. So for me, Jenny and Brandon will be fine. Jenny is sort of fine, but I feel like the public doesn't really care for her. But Brandon, I feel like, is really kind of getting by unscathed. And I think it's because he wasn't as big of a name. Right. Nobody really knew who Brandon Skinnar was before any of this. And nobody really cares who Brandon Skinar is now, which is the really fucked up part, because he's the one that went out and posted on his stories, as Michelle Maroney did as well. He's also in this new movie with Sidney and Amanda, Housemaid, which I do plan on watching, and we'll give you an update on. Um, and by the way, Sydney Sweeney is looking so hot. Like, she can literally turn any gay man straight. Sydney Sweeney is a bombshell. Like the body and the bubbies and the hair and just everything looks incredible. I don't know. I feel like Brandon. Well, he was just doing an interview and it was interesting because they're trying to flip the narrative. I think it was Good Morning America, and they're trying to flip the narrative of Brandon being like, oh, it was Sydney Sweeney that wanted me on this film, and she's the one that got me the gigantic. And I'm like, really? Sydney Sweeney is the one that got you this gig? Because Sydney Sweeney, of all people, was like, yeah, let me pick Brandon Skinnard. This nobody that nobody's ever heard of. You're gonna tell me there was no influence from Blake Lively? I love Sydney Sweeney, so don't go and tarnish Sydney Sweeney's reputation by making it seem like she really wanted Brandon Sklinar in the movie. If Sydney Sweeney had a magic wand and she could pick whatever leading man, I highly doubt it would have been Brandon Sklenar. Right. And you're going to tell me that there's no connection to Blake Lively, given that Brandon Skin are openly supported Blake Lively and this new movie is directed by Paul Feig. Paul Feig is the only one who is out there with Blake Lively for another simple favor. Going to bat for Blake Lively. Paul Feig and Brandon Skin are both pledged their public declaration of love for Blake Lively, and yet they're both working together. And you're somehow going to tell me their relationship together is what, because of Sydney Sweeney? You think I just fell out of a coconut tree? No, I think he's saying that trying to act like Blake didn't bribe him. Even if she didn't bribe him directly, like, there's still a. There's still a benefit that he gains from the power and privilege that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have in Hollywood. Right. Blake got him that role in the handsmaid on the Today show. He tried to say Sidney got him the job. No mention of Blake yet. All of a sudden, he'. Track. And all of the sudden, second coconut tree mention of the day. I know, because people really think that we just fell out of a coconut tree this morning. Any Taylor secrets? We'll have to wait and see. Donna says, hi, friends. Yes, I agree 1000%. Paul said Blake told him to hire Brandon. Where did Paul say that? Do you have a clip? Do we have a timestamp of that somewhere? Or you're just. That's your own speculation. Listen, Blake Lively came and she just blew everything up for everyone. And I don't know where we go from here. I don't know where we go from here. Okay, was there anything else? Oh, Jimmy Kimmel. I believe his show has been renewed. Good for him. I'm glad that he will be renewed for another year of declining ratings because nobody watches his show. Nobody watches Late night in general. Let's see what else happened over the weekend. There was a new host of Hoda. Hoda and Jenna. Now we have Chanel. Chanel Jones. I don't know who that is. I don't even know if we really care. Is anybody watching the Today show these days? I'm just trying to see if there were any other juicy headlines that came, but, yeah, I mean, the biggest headline was the Blake and Baldoni stuff, but we'll see. All right, I have to wrap today's show a little bit early, just a little bit, because I have a meeting in three minutes, which should be a fun one. We'll see. But, yeah, that's where we stand. I will be with you riding this train until May 18th. Let's pray that there are no more postponements. Oh, Megan and Jimmy. Megan King and Jim Edmonds. I mean, do we really care? I actually text her and she never texts me back. She probably thought I was gonna be like Kelly Dodd and blast her online. Megan and Jim came to an agreement when it came to the kids. So it looks like she'll be co parenting with Jim. I mean, listen, Jim has money. Megan. Does Megan have money? Does she have like divorce money or something? There is a video of Paul saying Blake. Oh, I think you mean recommended him. I believe it. Sorry, not a fan of Jimmy's. Does Jimmy Kimmel have real fans? E. News. Paul Feig told E. News that Blake Lively kept going on and on about how great he is while he was casting, according to a 2025 December 2025 report. Oh, well, there we go. So then Blake Lively, really? So is Brandon Sklinar turning on Blake Lively because he doesn't want anything to do with her because maybe he's seen the light and he know she's a liar, liar, pants on fire. Liar, liar, hoe on fire. Or dun dun, dun. Or is he just trying to save his reputation? I mean, listen, I'm pretty sure she helped get him the job. You're good to Blake Lively. She'll pull a few strings and call a few favors for you. And that is how Hollywood works. So does that mean Taylor Swift can be deposed now? Deposition phases are done. There's a slim chance that Taylor Swift could be called as a witness at trial. I highly doubt that that will happen. I don't know. More information has come out to show Taylor Swift's involvement. Taylor Swift was present for this alleged fat shaming beatdown. It's now been confirmed that Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman have been present for all of this. So there's a very good chance that. I don't know. I find it unlikely, though. But I mean, listen, arguably they could be like, listen, trial is set for May 18th. So now we at least know the dates so we can work with Taylor's team to schedule a time for her to come in and testify. What a BO bombshell that will be. The only unfortunate part about this trial is that it's not going to be public. None of it will be live streamed. It'll be like the Diddy trial, right, where we just got like little sketches of people. But for the most part, we're not going to get any real photos. We're not going to get any live streams. We'll see them coming in and out of the courthouse. But what a. Oh, man, I can't believe we have to wait until May. You guys, that's crazy.
