It Ends With Us: Part 20 - The Settlement, New Texts, and Info from the May 1 Document Drop
High & LowShow Notes
On Monday May 4th, the Lively and Baldoni legal teams announced a settlement. After 18 months, and two weeks before jury selection, the highly publicized battle is over - or is it? We review the settlement language and delve into myriad documents from the May 1 drop that I think contributed to the parties finally deciding to drop the issue. New texts and information from the May 1 document drop help to answer key questions and show why a trial would have been a spectacle of epic proportions, one that neither side would have benefitted from.
Part 21 will be released later tonight that presents new information from the May 1 drop about Blake's business endeavors, as well as more texts and exchanges that paint a clearer picture of sentiments from the women on set.

Who restricted vital Starlink satellite access in Ukraine, and why? What's the record for the shortest term of a Press Secretary? How do the new mandatory investment accounts for kids work, what risks do they present, and why is the Annabelle doll there? What's going on with the reflecting pool and other D.C. landmarks? Why is Ken Paxton unfit for public office and arguably one of the worst people to ever run? Why is a tubby, pale poser with daddy issues dedicating more of his inflated wealth to meddling in America's midterms? This pod attempts to answer these questions and more with a comedic take, stack of sources, and lack of tolerance for the patriarchy.
After a summary of what The Golden Life premier event in NYC was like, we jump back into a Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Recap. The women are still kicking off their San Francisco trip by kicking Ashley Quai when she's down, disarmed by the betrayal of Whitney. Angie confides in Heather that her marriage is struggling and confides to cameras about how bad its been. Heather continues to try to make Triflin' Tripp happen, Brittany grills Bronwyn, and Meredith remains a master of scowling. A trip to a vibrator museum adds some extra spice to a dinner that we already knew was going to go badly, with Lisa's lipliner is the uncredited housewife of this episode. We end with the Whitney/Ashley Quai fall out going strong and without any San Francisco peace and love on the horizon.
Catching up on Season 7 of what is arguably the most entertaining Real Housewives franchise on Bravo for a nice break between deep dives. In the premier, the ladies set their petty differences aside to support Mary in her time of loss and through her decision to remain a cast member alongside women she refers to as family. We also meet Heather's new-old cheater boyfriend and get up to speed on three women currently leaving their sub-par husbands, and one who almost did. Across the episodes, heartfelt moments and hilarity ensue as the group delves into their personal struggles while also bickering about ridiculous perceived offenses. By episode three, we have props, wigs (both costume and incognito), accusations, and tears. It's pure joy. Season 7 is starting off strong.
