So, this entire It Ends With Us scenario is being in comparison with the infamous Amber Heard vs. Johnny Depp case. Now, Depp’s lawyer, Ben Chew, has opened up about Baldoni’s authorized technique, calling it “daring,” “aggressive” and never one thing that’s usually finished.
Depp’s lawyer Ben Chew was requested about Baldoni’s current amended grievance and the web site the actor’s group created on Legislation & Crime – Sidebar with Jesse Weber. The host defined that he thought it was a “daring” transfer to do one thing like that, after which he requested the lawyer if this transfer was a good suggestion. In response, Chew mentioned:
I agree, daring, aggressive, hutzpah, no matter the precise time period is, I feel it is extremely aggressive. Normally, you wouldn’t do one thing like that earlier than a listening to, however I’m certain that they vetted it rigorously, vetted the fabric rigorously. Definitely posting a pleading doesn’t appear to me to be out of bounds, these are pleadings made within the public data. Everytime you’re stepping into work product or advocacy items, then I feel it’s getting nearer to the road.
Jesse Weber defined that posting all this info not lengthy after it was revealed that Full of life and Reynolds had been attempting to get a gag order for Baldoni’s lawyer was fairly the transfer.

However, it’s a novel strategy, a daring strategy.

To that time, the lawyer defined:
I do suppose the extra they’ll cite to audio tape and video tape, I feel that’s significantly persuasive proof as a result of all people can see it. And I feel it’s far more impactful than simply assertions, definitely assertions of council. Within the hierarchy, I feel textual content messages, at any time when you may hold somebody with their very own language, they usually’re ready of getting to elucidate they didn’t actually imply what they mentioned, you already know the cliché, while you’re explaining you’re dropping. So, I feel on either side, at any time when they’ve really used video tape, audio tape or used the precise phrases of the opposite facet, I feel that that’s an excellent day for them.
After all, numerous textual content messages have been used on either side of this battle. Full of life’s preliminary grievance featured texts that attempted to show that Baldoni sexually harassed her and carried out a smear marketing campaign in opposition to her. Then, the director’s swimsuit in opposition to the New York Instances in addition to his lawsuit in opposition to his co-star and her husband Ryan Reynolds use texts to try to present precisely what occurred and level to the concept that the actress and her group had been cherrypicking info.
Total, there’s numerous info and lawsuits coming from each camps, and it’s overwhelming to maintain observe of all of it.
