Speaker 1 (00:10):
You're listening to a Muma Mea podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Mumma Mea acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters
that this podcast is recorded on.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Hey, I'm Taylor Strano. This is Mumma Mer's twice daily
news podcast, The Quickie.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
After hours of standing off this situation that's now rapidly deteriorated,
the LAPD moving it on horseback, firing rubber bullets of protesters,
moving them on through the heart of La Donald Trump
has deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles
as protests over his immigration crackdown intensified.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Plus, a judge has dismissed Justin Baldoni's multi million dollar
lawsuit against Blake's lively. Well unpack what that means for
both parties before we dive in. Here's Clemurphy with the
latest from the Quickie newsroom for Wednesday, June eleven.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Thanks Taylor. Accused triple murderer Aaron Patterson has faced questions
about whether she feigned her illness in the days following
a deadly Beef Wellington lunch. Paddison is said to spend
a seventh day in the witness box in her Supreme
Court trial as Crown Prosecutor Nanette Rogers sc continues her
cross examination. The fifty year old has pleaded not guilty
to murdering her former in laws Don and Gale Patterson,
(01:23):
both seventy and Gail's sister Heather Wilkinson, sixty six, as
well as the attempted murder of Heather's husband Ian. She
denies she deliberately poisoned her lunch guests on July twenty nine,
twenty twenty three, when she served them death cap mushroom
laced beef Wellington's and claims it was a terrible accident.
Doctor Rogers on Tuesday accused the mushroom cook of faking
(01:43):
her nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain in conversations with health professionals,
her children, and Simon, her husband, who she was separated
from at the time. She suggested to Patterson the reason
why she told so many people about her symptoms was
because she wanted to also appear unwell from the lunch, saying,
you did that because you knew you'd not eaten death
cap mushrooms, and you knew how suspicious it would look
(02:05):
if you did not seem sick like your guests. Incorrect
Patterson replied. Patterson was asked about the beef Wellington leftovers,
with the prosecutor suggesting she had assisted police in finding
the remains in her bin because you knew you had
no means of removing the leftovers from your bin yourself,
saying why wouldn't I just say there's no leftovers? That
seems really convoluted. The mushroom cook said she had no
(02:28):
idea when doctor Rogers put to her that she directed
police to the leftovers in her outside bin to avoid suspicion.
Patterson had been accused of lying by the prosecutor as
she disputed evidence from doctors, nurses and her estranged husband.
She also denied evidence from Ian Wilkinson that she'd served
the guests on four large gray plates while she ate
from a small orange or tan plate. The trial continues.
(02:52):
Australia has sanctioned to Israeli ministers, accusing them of inciting
violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. Foreign Minister Penny
Wong announced the sanctions in a joint statement with the
governments of Canada, New Zealand, Norway and the UK, explaining
that National Security Minister Itamar Benvie and Finance Minister Bezileel
Smotrich have incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian
(03:15):
human rights. Senator Wong saying extremist rhetoric advocating the forced
displacement of Palestinians and the creation of new Israeli settlements
is appalling and dangerous, and that these actions are not acceptable.
Australia has issued travel bands and financial sanctions against the
two ministers. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sar called the move outrageous,
(03:36):
saying the net Yahoo government will hold a meeting next
week to design how to respond to the unacceptable decision.
Just days after hearing Channel ten is acting its news
program The Project, there's reports the ABC is also dropping
one of their most well known news programs. The ABC's
managing director, Hugh Marx, is expected to announce today that
they'll be acting Q and A after eighteen years on
(03:57):
the air, amid a range of measures to cut costs,
including another round of redundancies. Q and A was hosted
by Tony Jones for twelve years before he stepped down
in twenty twenty. Haymish McDonald briefly took over the post,
but quit after eighteen months after having to navigate a
live show that required an audience without one during the
COVID pandemic. He explained that part of his decision to
(04:19):
leave was also due to the abuse he faced on
social media while hosting, quitting Twitter because of it. Stan
Grant took over the role of host in twenty twenty two,
but he also stood down after he was exposed to
online abuse after making a comment about the impact of
colonialism during King Charles's coronation. The show's been hosted by
Patricia Cavella since then. Actor Jamie Fox has broken down
(04:42):
during an emotional acceptance speech at the BET Awards. Fox
suffered a stroke in twenty twenty three that left him
in a coma for nearly three weeks, The star admitting
he came close to appearing in the in memoriam section
of the ceremony rather than being on stage in person.
As he accepted the Icon Accolade Award, Fox said he
didn't know why he went through what he went through,
(05:02):
but knows he has a second chance and is not
going to turn it down, saying when he watched the
in memorium package, he was thinking, man, that could have
been met. He also spoke about his daughters, recounting how
sixteen year old Ann Lisa Stell snuck into his hospital
room and played him guitar while he was unconscious, explaining
how his vitals improved as she played. When the nurses
(05:22):
ran in asking what she'd given him, Fox said, she
told them sh she had him.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Thanks Claire. Next the escalating situation in Los Angeles. For
a third straight day, protests continue in LA after immigration
agents made dozens of arrests across the city. President Trump
has ordered the deployment of two thousand California National Guard
troops to the streets. But how did we get here
(05:49):
and what are the people protesting? Well, they began after ICE.
That's the Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted raids across locations,
including a hardware store and a garment factory, swooping up
street vendors and day laborers. It's part of Trump's controversial
immigration crackdown, with the White House setting ICE a gold
to arrest at least three thousand migrants each day. The
(06:13):
president has specifically targeted California, New York, and Illinois, all
traditionally Democratic voting states. California in particular is home to
the country's largest immigration population, with about ten point six
million residents born overseas. In oppost to truth social Trump
claimed Los Angeles had been invaded by illegal aliens and criminals.
(06:37):
So what about the National Guard? For those unaware, the
National Guard is a reserve military force. It typically responds
to domestic emergencies like natural disasters and civil disturbances, and
supports active duty military forces during national defense missions. Both
state governors and the president can call upon the National Guard,
but for different reasons. So Trump deployed the National Guard
(06:59):
without California Governor Gavin Newsom's approval, something that no president
has actually done since nineteen sixty five, when President Lyndon B.
Johnson sent troops to protect a civil russ much in Alabama.
Governor Newsom has formally requested the withdrawal of troops, arguing
their presence is inflaming tensions. On top of that, now
seven hundred marines have also been sent to the city,
(07:22):
a decision that caught even LAPD Chief Jim McDonald by surprise.
He's warned that the deployment could actually make policing the
protest more difficult.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I look at this and my assessment may not be
accurate based on this thing's continuously churning. But I see
two parallel tracks that don't work together, if you will.
We're dealing with the issues on the street that you
see every day. We deal with that with LAPD resources.
When we need additional resources, then we reach out to
the Sheriff, who brings in mutual aid. We have fourteen
(07:53):
different agencies working with us for that purpose. And then
only if we weren't able to continue to deal with
that needed additional help, would re reach out to the sheriff,
who would then request National Guard from the governor.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And while this might feel far away from our realities
back home and Australia and Assie journalist has been caught
up in the fray. Nine News reporter Lauren to Marsi
was live on the scene when she was shot with
the rubber bullet by authorities. Since then, Nine and to
(08:27):
Marsi have both released statements. Appearing on nine's morning program,
Tamarsi recounted her experience.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
It was about five o'clock local time when there were
suddenly just thousands of protesters on the streets of downtown
la and we felt that presence of the LAPD and
law enforcement really ramp up. Jimmy and I went live.
We were doing a cross into the program and police
started pushing their way up the street. They'd begun firing
(08:54):
tear gas canisters and those rubber bullets, and we moved
onto the sidewalk and really tried to stay out of
the way.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Meanwhile, the LAPD told New York Times it didn't have
any comment or statement on any specific incidents pertaining to
the protests, and British photojournalist Nick Stern is also reportedly
undergoing emergency surgery after being hit by the same non
lethal ammunition. We'll keep you updated in the Quickie headlines
as more on this story comes to light. In the
(09:27):
ongoing legal saga between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, one
of their lawsuits has been officially well dismissed. A US
judge has thrown out Justin Beldonie's six hundred and fourteen
million dollar defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively. The pair, who
co starred in the adaptation of It Ends with Us,
have been locked in a complex legal battle for months.
(09:49):
To help us understand the latest developments were joined by
Mummy and newswriter Eilish Delaney Eilish, Can you break down
this legal battle for us? How do we get to
where we currently are?
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Yes, it's been quite a long and messy road to
get here. But it centers around the allegations that Blake
Lively made about her time filming. It ends with us
where she basically ac que used Baldonio's sexual harassment and
of launching a smear campaign when she spoke out about
what happened.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
And what about his lawsuit because that's one that's actually
being dropped. What was he bringing to the table here?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Yeah, so he kind of countersued for defamation, extortion and
an invasion of privacy and he's seeking more than six
hundred million Australian dollars in damages.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
But that's now been thrown out. The judge has dismissed
his suit. So Blake's are still going on. But what
was the reasoning behind throwing Baldoni's lawsuit out?
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Judge lewis Lyman. He said that Baldoni can't sue her
for defamation because allegations made in the lawsuit are exempt
from libel claims, and he also ruled that Baldoni's claims
that the movie was hijacked out from under him didn't
counter as extortion under California law.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
So it feels like he almost at that point didn't
have a link to stand on according to the judge.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Yeah, it is kind of a bit like that. And
also he sued The New York Times as well, but
the judge has said that they too were protected under
the fair report privilege, which basically protects the media for
reporting a legal matters.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
And what about Blake Lively's original law suit, the one
that first was brought to our attention, that's still going ahead.
Can you listen out for us in a bit more
detail about what she's actually claimed.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Yeah, so there's quite a few things that she's claimed,
but some of the allegations she said that he inserted
improvised sexual content into the movie and improvised kisses that
hadn't been discussed and there was no intimacy coordinator on
set for that, and made inquiries about lively sex life
that she was quite uncomfortable with. And he's obviously come
out and denied all of these, but his lawyers have
(11:42):
said that it's an attempt by her to fix her
negative reputation following the movie.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
It's interesting because her claims in her lawsuit what she's
alleging happened both on and off screen.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Yeah, exactly, And it is set to go to trial
next March, so we'll definitely learn more about that as
that all kind of comes out. But that's kind of
what she's been saying about the whole smear campaign, is
what's happened actually off screen and in the media.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And what about the reaction to this lawsuit from Baldoni
being really least have they spoken about it publicly?
Speaker 6 (12:11):
So Baldoni's camp is yet to issue a statement, but
Lively and her legal team have both come out and
said something. So her legal team has come out and
labeled the ruling as a total victory and complete vindication.
And she also put out a statement herself on her
Instagram and spoke about manufactured shame that tried to break
her during this process and basically said she is more
(12:31):
resolved than ever to fight for every woman's right to
have a voice in protecting themselves.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It speaks volumes because it feels like this lawsuit saga
has lived on and has had a longer shelf life
than the actual film release.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Yeah, I mean, personally, I haven't even seen the movie.
But I know more about this court case than the
movie itself. It's been going on for months and it
has been very messy.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
And so what did you say? The trial is March
next year.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Yeah, so March next year. But first up, the court
has basically allowed Baldoni's legal team a chance to amend
and refile certain claims that relate to an alleged breach
of contract by Lively. So they have to do that
by June to one three, and that's to do with
his suit, and then Lively's suit will be in March
next year.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
The saga, I have a feeling alish will continue. We'll
probably have to speak about this again.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
So yeah, I think it's far from over.
