Summary

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.

0:00.0	Hi everybody. Welcome back to the Be There in Five podcast. I'm Kate Kennedy, your host.
0:18.2	Before we get started on part two of this deep dive,
0:22.3	I just wanted to, I mean, honestly acknowledge that, like,
0:25.2	I'm having trouble thinking about,
0:27.7	caring about talking about anything else
0:29.9	than what's going on right now in Los Angeles.
0:33.5	I know a lot of Beths live out there.
0:36.7	A lot of us have friends and family, loved ones who we are obsessively checking in on and just waiting with bated breath that this will get under control, that the weather will give first responders a break, that this can be contained.
0:58.1	And it's just, from afar, I feel helpless. And in the show notes, I'm including a Google form

1:41.5	donate where they can.
1:47.4	Obviously, it's hard to vet the links, but I trust this community. I need to be better about organizing in terms of when things are going on in other communities
1:53.5	that best are a part of making sure our community does what we can to support you.
1:59.3	This is a continuation of last week's episode that I'm not going to
2:03.1	overly preface because it was a lot of information already. If you didn't get to listen to Part 1 of
2:09.5	Blake Liley's power suit, please do. And we're jumping right into the PR half of Blake Lively's
