Blake Lively's "Astounding Victory": 50 Undeniable Lawsuit LOSES

Time to set the record straight once and for all.

Blake's legal team made the rounds after the settlement to assure us that it wasn't just a win, but an "astounding victory." But calling the outcome of her lawsuit a win, much like her deposition testimony, doesn't line up with the facts.

I don't understand what's wrong with "while this wasn't the result Ms. Lively was fighting for, she intends to recover legal fees and damages under 47.1 and will continue to use her voice to stand up for [INSERT HER CAUSE OF THE MOMENT]."

That statement is based (mostly) in reality. The alternative she's gone with is to twist her undeniable loses into a "victory" that everyone (aside from a handful of sympathizers) can see right through.

Legal Loses

\1. Zero dollars recovered from defendants in settlement

2. Tens of millions spent in legal fees
