The refusal of Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively to go to mediation for their legal dispute can show what the “It ends with us” stars really fight.
Baldoni and Lively “Can go all the way to the test,” if one of them ultimately does not agree with an apology and withdraws claims, a legal expert told Fox News Digital.
“Mediation is a good idea when the parties want to explore the scheme,” explained former federal public prosecutor Neahmani. “Here, Lively and Baldoni do not love each other, try the case in the media and are by no means close to the settlement.
“In fact, this case is more about sending a message and cleaning up their names in Hollywood than getting money from the other side,” added the founder of the West Coast Trial Lawyers. “Without one of them agreeing with an apology and an withdrawal that will not happen, this case can go all the way to the test.”

Legal teams for both Lively and Baldoni told Judge Lewis Liman that “settlement discussions would be prematurely” in a joint letter that was submitted in court on Thursday and obtained by FOX News Digital. The letter also noted that “the parties agree that mediation and the discovery protocols are inappropriate for this case.”
The federal judge agreed with the “it ends with us” stars and ordered the order.
The decision of Lively and Reynolds to “continue” with their lawsuit “full Steam Vooruit” left PR expert Adrienne Uto “shocked”.
“They have to settle, point out. End the massacre. End the drama,” the founder of Kronus Communications told Fox News Digital. “Unless there is a bomb hidden deep, deep in the court case or possibly not even shared publicly, it will not end well for them, which is clear at the moment.”
“In fact, this case is more about sending a message and cleaning up their names in Hollywood than getting it from the other side.”

However, not regulating influences Baldoni “very different”.
“For Justin Baldoni it will be one of the most stressful but best things that happened in his life,” Uthe explained. “He said that last year was an excellent year for him monetary, but it was very emotional, and we can all see why.
“Not establishing us will enable us to see even more facts for ourselves and to promote our already existing consensus (by social media) that he is here in the right,” she added. “He may not be perfect, but he is certainly not the monster that the lively team tries to portray him. Not settling will again start a hero ARC trip in the ‘Men’s Corner’, but this time, for Mr Baldoni, I see an even more fruitful career coming for him “
