Blake Lively's Power Suit: Part 2

This week, Kate reviews the PR “smear campaign” half of the complex legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, delving into the concept of astroturfing, its relevance to Amber Heard and Meghan Markle, and details the “he said/she said” of the PR warfare detailed in the lawsuits. Then, Kate interviews attorney/former litigator Alex Mack for some legal insights/clarifications about the case to ensure she’s not entirely off base when reading through so much legal paperwork. Tune in to thoroughly examine text exchanges, press strategies, and discussions about the potential implications of sophisticated systems that manipulate online sentiment. Enjoy!
