00:00Ce week, a judge made a new ruling.
00:02What does that mean for the future of this case?
00:04It was a big ruling.
00:07Basically, it cut Blake Lively's case off at the knees.
00:1210 of 13 charges were dropped.
00:15Charges including the big ones.
00:17Sexual harassment, the fat shaming, these kind of things.
00:21Now, he did say it was a technicality
00:23because as she was not an actual employee of Wayfair
00:29and the contracts for the ALA had not been signed
00:32that she could not sue under federal statutes.
00:37However, she still has three more things to go
00:41and including retaliation, aiding and abetting retaliation.
00:47Now, this is what Blake is saying.
00:48Blake is trying to put a positive spin on this
00:51and she is saying on social media,
00:56I'm grateful for the court's ruling
00:57which allows the heart of my case
00:59to be presented to a jury next month.
01:01I will never stop doing my part
01:03in fighting to expose the systems
01:06and people who seek to harm, shame, silence
01:08and retaliate against victims.
01:12Now, Justin, of course, had his say via his lawyer
01:17and this is what he said.
01:20The defendants were not afraid of the truth.
01:23The plane was not only to speak the truth
01:25but also to show that same truth over and over again
01:29through the presentation of actual evidence.
01:31It is gratifying to see the court's ruling
01:34confirms what the legal team believed from day one.
01:38You have been reporting that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
01:40are trying to fix their public image.
01:42How are they doing that?
01:43Yeah, they have a big problem.
01:45The public, their public numbers are just
01:48whoop, down the toilet
01:50and people in Hollywood don't really want to work
01:52with them right now
01:53because she is now known to break budgets
01:55and be litigious.
01:57So, she's, they've been coming out
01:59trying to present this really happy family look.
02:02They were out in Wrexham in England
02:04to cheer on his soccer team.
02:06They've been to Nickelodeon's World.
02:09They've been all over on Broadway
02:11and trying to show they're happy.
02:13That was before the case was chopped off at the knees,
02:17however.
02:17We haven't seen her since then.
02:18We just heard that statement that you read.
02:20No, we have not.
02:21All right.
02:21Paula Froehlich, thank you so much.
