Amber Heard trial had many witnesses. It also had the bulk of Amber Heard's case in chief. The stand-out moments were Amber Heard's cross-examination by attorney Camille Vasquez. A very important part of this case is the time. Each side has 61 hours and 15 minutes to try their case. At the end of Week 5, Depp's team had 10 more hours of time to finish presenting their case and rebuttal case. This case has been so interesting. Connect With Me.

Amber Heard Defamation Trial. During this week, we heard from Depp security team member Travis McGivern, Depp's agent Jack Whigham, a damages expert Richard Marks, Social Medial Expert Douglass Bania, Nurse Erin Falati, and Forensic Accountant Michael Spindler. Then Depp's team rested their case in chief, and Amber Heard’s team brought a motion to strike Depp’s claims which were denied for two claims and taken under submission by the court for one claim, which will likely be denied later. With that, it began Amber Heard's case with Clinical and Forensic Psychologist Dr. Dawn Hughes, whose testimony was overshadowed by evidentiary issues. Finally, Amber Heard was called to the stand by her attorney, who called her Laura Amber Heard and not Amber Laura Heard… and that is where week four ended.

Amber Heard Trial Week 3 has concluded. Johnny Depp has finished his testimony and his case is rounding towards its close, the end of Depp’s testimony was powerful, “Tell the world, Johnny, tell them, I Johnny Depp, a man, I too am a victim of domestic violence”, Amber Heard. Depp responded, “I said ‘Yes, I am”. It was powerful testimony that will likely be remembered as the key piece of testimony from Week 3. But it wasn’t the only powerful testimony, Dr. Shannon Curry, forensic psychologist, testified to diagnosing Amber Heard with Borderline Personality Disorder and Histrionic Personality Disorder. We also got colorful testimony from Alejendaro Romero who testified about not seeing injuries on Heard, and how stressful the case has been for him then, finally, he vapped and drove off.

Amber Heard is underway. Today’s episode is a case brief breaking down the causes of action in this defamation case. There has been quite a lot of litigation in this case leading up to it getting to court for trial. This trial has very high stakes for both parties, a star-studded witness list, and a lot of evidence. The estimates for this trial are that evidence will take six weeks. Johnny Depp has sued Amber Heard for defamation over an OpEd she published without naming him, he is seeking $50 million in damages. Amber Heard has counter sued Depp for defamation for statements his lawyer made calling her statements that she was battered by Depp a hoax, she is seeking $100 million in damages. This jury is in for a whirlwind trial. Thankfully for us, there will be cameras in the courtroom and I will be following along. Connect With Me.

From what happened to what the potential legal consequences are it’s time to break it down. Plus, if you were wondering about the difference between Assault and Battery, legally, I’ve got you.  If you’ve been following my coverage of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial you know that I was concerned about the motion for New Trial based on Juror 50’s failure to disclose his past experiences when directly asked on the questionnaire. However, the Judge found that Juror 50 testified credibly, that the failure to disclose was a mistake and not deliberate and that he was not biased against Maxwell and therefore would not have been struck for cause. For those reasons the Court denied the motion and reaffirmed that the sentencing will move forward.  Resources Will Packer GMA Interview https://youtu.be/n_GPil88PmM (https://youtu.be/n_GPil88PmM)  Heather McDonald Podcast https://youtu.be/eZYLow5Lnps (https://youtu.be/eZYLow5Lnps) Connect With Me.

Sherri Papini went out from a run on November 2, 2016, while her husband was at work and her two kids are at daycare.  Her husband returned home from work was surprised she wasn’t home, was able to locate her phone through find my iPhone and located her phone, earbuds, and some hair. He reports her missing to the police. She was missing for 22 days before she was located in Yolo County. An investigation ensued and, according to new court filings, that investigation lead to the conclusion that Sherri Papini didn’t get kidnapped at all. New court filings charge Papini with lying to investigators and mail fraud related to funds taken from the California Victim Compensation Board. It’s alleged that Papini received over $30,000 from the CVCB. The complaint details the numerous statements made by Papini and that she was confronted by investigators with evidence that she had lied and doubled down. This is just the beginning of the prosecution. Papini faces up to 25 years in federal prison in addition to over $50,000 in fines.   ResourcesMedia Links https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article259049303.html (https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article259049303.html)   https://www.kron4.com/news/california/sherri-papini-faked-her-own-kidnapping-feds-say/ (Sherri Papini faked her own kidnapping, feds say | KRON4)  Connect With Me.

On March 11, 2022, Smollett was sentenced after the Judge stated to Smollett “you’re just a charlatan pretending to be a victim of a hate crime, and that’s shameful.” The Judge further stated that Smollett has “done real damage to victims of hate crimes” and that he “lied and kept lying”. The Judge sentenced Smollett to 150 days in jail, 30 months of Felony probation, a fine of $25,000, and restitution of a little over $130,000 to the city of Chicago reduced for the $10,000 in forfeited bail bond that Smollett previously paid. On March 16, 2022, the Appellate Court granted Smollett’s request to stay (pause) his sentence pending appeal and he was released from custody. This case feels like it’s been a whirlwind since it started and we need to take a look at everything that has happened to have context for the arguments on appeal and what will happen next.  Resourceshttps://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/double-jeopardy-is-smolletts-strongest-argument-for-appeal (Double jeopardy Jussie Smollett's 'strongest argument' for appeal, ex-prosecutor says | Washington Examiner)  Jussie Smollett Released https://youtu.be/0dEVsB1pHfY (https://youtu.be/0dEVsB1pHfY)  Jussie Smollett Sentenced https://youtu.be/VFpLbrWWD5o (https://youtu.be/VFpLbrWWD5o)  Jussie Smollett Convicted https://youtu.be/osslx8pntpE (https://youtu.be/osslx8pntpE)  Jussie Smollett Conviction Breakdown https://youtu.be/WBsmtGTPaQ8 (https://youtu.be/WBsmtGTPaQ8)   Emily Reads the Constitution https://youtu.be/1vkNW8ZVp4o Connect With Me.

Many feel that someone was finally prosecut5ede, while others feel that those who benefited from Epstein & Maxwell’s trafficking should also be prosecuted.

Lead Actor and Producer Alec Baldwin was approximately four feet from Hutchins on set with a replica revolver that was loaded with a live bullet. Director Joel Souza was also shot and injured when the bullet passed through Hutchins. Since the shooting multiple lawsuits have been filed, Alec Baldwin has made numerous statements and appeared in an https://youtu.be/e6JN2j2aWYQ (ABC Special )talking through his perspective of events on set and when the shooting happened.  From there, numerous lawsuits were filed, a police investigation began, https://youtu.be/O-UEducflsg (search warrants) were issued.  The Sheriff’s and District Attorney in New Mexico have repeatedly stated that the investigation into the death of Halyna Hutchins is ongoing.  Halyna Hutchins husband and son have now filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming producers, production companies, Baldwin, and those in charge of the props and weapons. This suit includes some details we have seen before in other lawsuits and some that are new.  From my perspective it’s clear that there was negligence on someone's part, otherwise, a live round wouldn’t have ended up on the movie set and in the prop weapon, therefore this tragedy wouldn’t have taken place. Though the criminal investigation is still open I am not surprised that the wrongful death lawsuit is underway.  ResourcesOther Podcast Episodes covering the Rust Lawsuits - https://feeds.captivate.fm/getlegitshow/rusttragedycollection My YouTube Playlist of Rust Lawsuits https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJRVvIIF9jT5PfqCzlSMiib (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJRVvIIF9jT5PfqCzlSMiib)  Connect With Me.

In a detailed ruling, the court has rejected Prince Andrew’s motion to dismiss the civil sexual assault lawsuit brought against him by Virginia Guffrie who alleges she was trafficked to Prince Andrew by Jeffery Epstein. Even though this ruling is fairly standard it seems to have triggered a large response from The Queen who stripped Prince Andrew of his titles, and he will no longer be able to call himself HRH. This suit has a long way to go and the challenges from Prince Andrew are far from over, but this early litigation gave us some clear indication of how the defense will be attacking this suit.  ResourcesMedia Links https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-59874170 (Prince Andrew: Emily Maitlis says duke's interview answers are critical to sex assault case - BBC News)   https://www.firstpost.com/world/whos-virginia-giuffre-and-what-are-her-allegations-against-britains-prince-andrew-10281321.html (https://www.firstpost.com/world/whos-virginia-giuffre-and-what-are-her-allegations-against-britains-prince-andrew-10281321.html)  YouTube Links Ghislaine Maxwell Case Playlist - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gL31tnzpu6Du3wLHoQRaIq8 (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gL31tnzpu6Du3wLHoQRaIq8)  Connect With Me.

The Search Warrant still hasn’t been executed and Baldwin is still in possession of his phone. On January 7, 2022, the Los Angeles Times and other outlets reported statements by the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Department and the District Attorney saying that they are still working to execute the search warrant and obtain Alec Baldwin’s phone. Not to be outdone Alec Baldwin took to Instagram to say that all reports that he hasn’t complied with the search warrant are lies and he fully intends to comply….later. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this.  Key Take-Aways? Alec Baldwin’s cellphone has not to be taken by Santa Fe Police subject to their Search Warrant and reports that he hasn’t turned over his phone are true. Alec Baldwin’s legal team can ensure that Law Enforcement properly executes any Search Warrant, but also he can comply and then fight the evidence obtained in court later.  Baldwin will not stop talking about this case and it isn’t helping him. What happens next?  The Search Warrant will be executed in New York as the investigation continues. There may or may not be criminal charges in this case. The Civil lawsuits are ongoing.  ResourcesPodcast Links https://emilydbaker.com/podcasts/baldwin-bonus-episode-place/ (https://emilydbaker.com/podcasts/baldwin-bonus-episode-place/)  https://emilydbaker.com/podcasts/alecbaldwininterview/ (https://emilydbaker.com/podcasts/alecbaldwininterview/)  https://emilydbaker.com/podcasts/rustshooting2/ (https://emilydbaker.com/podcasts/rustshooting2/)  YouTube Links Search Warrant Video: https://youtu.be/WLxW8bFTrJA (https://youtu.be/WLxW8bFTrJA)  Baldwin ABC Interview Breakdown: https://youtu.be/e6JN2j2aWYQ (https://youtu.be/e6JN2j2aWYQ)  Civil Suit Breakdown: https://youtu.be/onFOww7XfHY (https://youtu.be/onFOww7XfHY)  Liability Review: https://youtu.be/BNTzFq_tgqI (https://youtu.be/BNTzFq_tgqI)  Other Rust Coverage: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJRVvIIF9jT5PfqCzlSMiib (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJRVvIIF9jT5PfqCzlSMiib)  Observe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzMvqwt21xqm7Fg5Uo3lsRQ (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzMvqwt21xqm7Fg5Uo3lsRQ) Connect With Me.

This has been a wild year for me and in the law. Britney Spears is finally out of her conservatorship, two Real Housewives have significant legal cases going on and we have had some very high-profile trials end in convictions and others in acquittals. This year saw YouTube and independent media creators pushing back against traditional media outlets, a trend I think will continue.  Finally, it’s a year that ended with me on Prime Time television on ABC, becoming a full-time legal commentator and a YouTube creator with almost 200,000 subscribers.

The Astroworld tragedy has spawned hundreds of lawsuits, a Congressional investigation, and another celebrity interview set against a background of litigation. I was very surprised to learn in the Congressional letter that there are reports that Live Nation is alleged to be withholding pay from employees until they sign a new employment agreement that includes a new release of liability….seriously.  Travis Scott’s legal team has also started filing answers to the lawsuits and has asked for cases to be dismissed. There was a lot made in the media about these requests to dismiss but they are just the next proper legal step in these cases. There is a lot to talk about with the interview because Travis Scott said a lot of words….but didn’t say much. Key Takeaways It’s being alleged that Live Nation is withholding pay from employees until they sign a new employment agreement that includes a new release of liability provision Congress wants to know why the concert wasn’t stopped sooner and what could have been done to prevent this tragedy Travis Scott says he was told to end the concert and did so. Travis Scott states that he relied on the professionals and feels responsible to get to the bottom of what happened. He did not say that he feels personally responsible as an artist.  Previous Videoshttps://youtu.be/Y8nkpmTecDI (https://youtu.be/Y8nkpmTecDI)  https://youtu.be/5yA-LPeb23Y (https://youtu.be/5yA-LPeb23Y)  https://youtu.be/h9SLjFXr76Q (https://youtu.be/h9SLjFXr76Q)  Get the Members Only ‘I Have Thoughts Podcast https://www.LawNerdsUnite.com (https://www.LawNerdsUnite.com) Join the Text Crew  https://http://www.textemily.com (www.TextEmily.Com) Looking for the YouTube videos?  https//http://www.watchemily.com (www.WatchEmily.com) Want to connect with Emily More?  https://http://www.instagram.com/theemilydbaker (www.Instagram.com/theemilydbaker)  I do share things on Twitter too! https://www.twitter.com/theemilydbaker (https://www.twitter.com/theemilydbaker )

Federal Judge Durkin is not having any of the Tom Girardi BS. In December 2020 Edelson PC filed their lawsuit against Tom Girardi, Girardi Keese, Erika Girardi, and her companies, former Girardi Keese lawyers Keith Griffin and David Lira. That is the lawsuit that alleges a 20 million dollar loan from Girardi Keese to Erika Girardi, that the divorce was a shame and that the victims are widows and orphans. That same day Edelson PC also filed their Motion for Rule to Show Cause asking the court to enter an order; 1) requiring Girardi Keese to show cause why7 it should not be held in contempt for violating the Court’s orders relating to the settlement of [the six lion air client cases], and 2) granting any such further relief as it deems reasonable and just. The court seems focused on further relief after already holding Tom Girardi and Girardi Keese in contempt. At the end of three days of evidentiary hearings, the court asked the lawyers to further brief on “[d]o I have the power to order you to pay the clients not because you violated a court order but because in failing to come to me you caused the plaintiffs to lose that money”. It seems that at least as to the Lion Air clients there are court proceedings moving forward strongly focused on how to make the clients, whose settlements weren’t paid too, whole. Remember, this is the Judge who forwarded this incident to Federal Prosecutors, and we know they have at least opened an investigation because Federal Prosecutors filed a motion asking the court for access to unsealed documents. What do you think will happen next?   Key Take-Aways Federal Judge Durkin is focused on if he can sanction former Girardi Keese lawyers Keith Griffin and David Lira and possibly Edelson PC as a firm or its lawyers for not bringing issues with Tom Girardi not paying clients of the Lion Air case to the court.   Tom Girardi Exclusive Voice Mails Tom is heard over two voicemails left for attorney Jay Edelson after the filing of the Motion for Rule to Show Cause saying: “I’m a good guy, get along great with all the Judges, I can do some real good shit but I want to make sure that you know we’d be joined at the hip” and “I want to be in charge of all your shit and at the end of about nine months I want you to say ‘God Tom, you made me another Million’”.  During Testimony during Day 3 of the contempt hearing Jay Edelson testified that Tom Girardi had called him repeatedly after the Motion for Rule to Show Cause was filed and that Tom indicated he could make him a ton of money because of his connections with Judges in California, and that the whole thing was ‘beyond unseemly’.   What Happens Next? The lawyers for former Girardi Keese lawyers Keith Griffin and David Lira and the lawyers for Edelson PC will submit a briefing to the court about if the court can impose sanctions not for violating the court order, which Tom Girardi, has already been held in contempt for…but for not bringing it to the courts' attention sooner.  They will also be submitting a chart breaking down the Girardi Keese client IOLTA account to see what happened with the settlement money after Boeing funded the settlements in March 2020. Seeing what happened with that money will be very interesting. The court will rule on the Sanctions and contempt. Sanctions may be possible, but contempt here is unlikely.  The lawsuit filed by Edelson PC against the lawyers and Erika Girardi is still moving forward in Illinois and will continue forward into discovery. And of course….Season 12 of Real Housewives will still feature Erika Girardi… Connect With Me.

It’s been a busy few weeks in the law. Today I cover the Britney Spears conservatorship that has finally ended, the Kyle Rittenhouse trial that is now with the jury, the first lawsuit is filed in the Rust tragedy, and the updates on the Astroworld lawsuits. When I started covering the Britney Spears conservatorship case two years ago I was unsure if Britney would be able to get out of this conservatorship. Four months ago her new attorney Rosengart changed everything. It’s so nice to see her finally get justice. The Rust lawsuits are starting and there will be more to follow, but not as many as I am expecting in the Astroworld tragedy.  Resources YouTube Links Britney Spears Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJ8VMtz1l47SikJSOpcAweL (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJ8VMtz1l47SikJSOpcAweL) The Emily Show Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gIDlvjSCCcZuiJm-Z54nQKR (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gIDlvjSCCcZuiJm-Z54nQKR)  Get the Members Only ‘I Have Thoughts' Podcast https://www.LawNerdsUnite.com (https://www.LawNerdsUnite.com) Join the Text Crew https://http://www.textemily.com (www.TextEmily.Com) Looking for the YouTube videos? https//http://www.watchemily.com (www.WatchEmily.com) Want to connect with Emily More? https://http://www.instagram.com/theemilydbaker (www.Instagram.com/theemilydbaker)  I do share things on Twitter too! https://www.twitter.com/theemilydbaker (https://www.twitter.com/theemilydbaker)

As the world, the Free Britney movement, and I brace for the November 12, 2021 court date let’s chat about what has been happening in court running up to this date and what can happen. First, the court is being asked to terminate the 13-year conservatorship of Britney Spears. There is a bigger fight brewing over Rosengart’s investigation and that 12th accounting is still sticking around waiting for millions in legal fees for ‘media matters’ among other things.  Resources YouTube Links https://youtu.be/qjhBmP5kltE (https://youtu.be/qjhBmP5kltE)  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJ8VMtz1l47SikJSOpcAweL (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJ8VMtz1l47SikJSOpcAweL) Get the Members Only ‘I Have Thoughts Podcast https://www.LawNerdsUnite.com Join the Text Crew https://http://www.textemily.com (www.TextEmily.Com) Looking for the YouTube videos? https//http://www.watchemily.com (www.WatchEmily.com) Want to connect with Emily More? https://http://www.instagram.com/theemilydbaker (www.Instagram.com/theemilydbaker)  I do share things on Twitter too! https://www.twitter.com/theemilydbaker

The Gabby Petito case has captivated attention worldwide. Since her disappearance was reported on September 11, 2021 attention was split between finding Gabby and wanting to know what Brian Laundrie, the last person who saw her alive, has to say. The search for Gabby Petito ended with finding her remains on September 19, 2021. The Search for Brian Laundrie began September 17, 2021, when his parents reported him missing and that search ended on October 20, 2021, when items belonging to Brian Laundrie and skeletal remains were found. Brian has been identified by dental records and there are so many questions remaining.

This is not the first time Britney has made these pleas to the court, but it's the first time that the entire world heard it in real-time, and I think that made all the difference in the world. Today I am taking the reports coming out of court from Twitter particularly from Britney Law Army who did tremendous work bringing the world the information from Court on September 29, 2021.

James Spears is embedded in the Britney Spears conservatorship like an Alabama tick. Britney’s lawyer Rosengart refers to James Spears' efforts to remain as lingering, I see it as a festering. Either Way the writing is on the wall for this Conservatorship and having James Spears removed is priority number one for Britney’s legal team. In new court filings on September 27, 2021, Britney’s legal team refers to the revelations from Controlling Britney Spears and how far off the rails the conservatorship has gone. Let’s all cross our fingers before this next court hearing on 9/29/21.

Matthew Rosengart files a supplemental petition to suspend or terminate James Spears as the Conservator of the Estate along with a petition to appoint a temporary conservator of the Estate. This motion makes clear that there is an investigation into James Spears underway, that Rosengart will not back down from digging into what's been going on in this conservatorship for the last 13 years. Finally, Rosengart and Britney make clear that they will be seeking to terminate the conservatorship THIS FALL!

From butter-soft leggings to a myriad of lawsuits LuLaRich covers the rise and fall of MLM company LuLaRoe. Multi-Level Marketing companies often have to fight the stereotype of being a pyramid scheme, and LuLaRoe was sued by the Secretary of State of Washington State for being a Pyramid scheme and the company ended up settling the suit for 4.75 Million Dollars and a consent decree governing their practices. They are in a lawsuit with their main supplier and numerous suits with their own consultant retailers who lost so much buying into LuLaRoe.

Before James’ spears leaked a Petition to Terminate the Conservatorship of the Person and Estate Britney’s legal team came out swinging against the Spears ‘reply’ where James Spears said he would ‘step down’ when the ‘time is right' and once the accountings (where he is asking for over 1.3 million in legal fees to his attorneys paid by Britney Spears) are settled. Rosengart has backed James Spears into a corner and we are far from done… because this is going to be a fight.

“...and bad mistakes, I’ve made a few” -Queen.   In late August and early September attorney John Pierce who is known for formerly representing Kyle Rittenhouse and 17 defendants in the January 6th cases, but now known for going missing...absolutely missing. Not only did he go missing but the individual standing in for him in court and in defense-related legal hearings is not an attorney and it’s unclear if they will become an attorney based on their own pending criminal cases. The entire circumstance around the reports about this attorney are wild and I will be following up on this story. NOTE- Since recording this podcast John Pierce has reportedly filed a notice with several courts saying that he was hospitalized for 12 days, but not stating why. I will continue following this wild case.  Resources Media Links https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/08/politics/john-pierce-capitol-riot-lawyer-covid/index.html (https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/08/politics/john-pierce-capitol-riot-lawyer-covid/index.html)  https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/where-in-the-world-is-john-pierce (https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/where-in-the-world-is-john-pierce)  https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/morgan-lewis-sues-pierce-bainbridge-for-430k-in-past-due-rent (Morgan Lewis Sues Pierce Bainbridge for $430K in Past Due Rent)  https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/25/powell-wood-trump-sanctions-506910 (https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/25/powell-wood-trump-sanctions-506910)  https://hillreporter.com/lin-wood-throws-john-pierce-under-the-bus-on-kyle-rittenhouse-financial-allegations-105748 (https://hillreporter.com/lin-wood-throws-john-pierce-under-the-bus-on-kyle-rittenhouse-financial-allegations-105748)   Get the Members Only ‘I Have Thoughts Podcast https://www.LawNerdsUnite.com (https://www.LawNerdsUnite.com) Join the Text Crew  https://http://www.textemily.com (www.TextEmily.Com) Looking for the YouTube videos?  https//http://www.watchemily.com (www.WatchEmily.com) Want to connect with Emily More?  https://http://www.instagram.com/theemilydbaker (www.Instagram.com/theemilydbaker)  I do share things on Twitter too! https://www.twitter.com/theemilydbaker

From college dropout to Silicone Valley unicorn to federal fraud defendant. The most staggering things about the Elizabeth Holmes case are how long this alleged fraud was perpetrated and how she sold the dream all the way to the White House. Hundreds of millions were invested into Theranos based on a dream and the Government alleges fraud. Because Jury selection is about to start it’s the perfect time to get up to speed on this case and what the prosecution faces and what the defense is likely to bring to the table.

It’s Hollywood Baby! Hollywood has allure and magic but it also has a dark side. This episode covers how the sausage gets made. Scarlet Johansson sues Disney over her contract regarding the distribution of Black Widow. She is arguing that her contract was based on a wide theatrical release like other Marvel movies, what Disney did was release the movie in Theaters and on Disney+ Streaming the same day, without renegotiating the contract.  Bam Margera is suing Paramount and Jackass co-star Johnny Knoxville over a wellness agreement that he argues he was forced to sign. The wellness agreement includes very specific provisions regarding Bam’s continued sobriety.  The thing about contracts is that they should be enforced.  RESOURCES https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/disney-co-s-covid-excuse-scarlett-johansson-lawsuit-darkly-comical-ncna1275840 (Disney Co.'s Covid excuse in Scarlett Johansson lawsuit is darkly comical and clearly flawed)  ​​https://screenrant.com/black-widow-lawsuit-scarlett-johansson-disney-statement-response/ (Scarlett Johansson Shocked By Disney's Statement About Black Widow Lawsuit)  https://variety.com/2021/film/news/disney-scarlett-johansson-black-widow-lawsuit-response-pandemic-1235030837/ (Disney Slams Scarlett Johansson Over 'Black Widow' Suit)  https://www.inc.com/jason-aten/disneys-response-to-scarlett-johanssons-black-widow-lawsuit-is-an-example-of-1-thing-no-company-should-ever-do.html (Disney’s Response to Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow Lawsuit Is an Example of What No Company Should Ever Do)  https://screenrant.com/black-widow-movie-disney-plus-premier-access-success/ (Disney Announces Black Widow Made $60M From Premier Access Alone) ​​https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/exclusive-scarlett-johansson.html (Exclusive: Disney Has Cut All Ties And Projects With Scarlett Johansson)  https://www.tmz.com/2021/06/15/jackass-director-bam-margera-death-threats-permanent-restraining-order/ ('Jackass' Director Gets Permanent Restraining Order Against Bam Margera) https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2021-08-09/bam-margera-sues-jackass-forever-team-alleging-discrimination-and-unlawful-firing (Bam Margera sues 'Jackass Forever' team over his firing)  Connect with me!

I love having a Bravo Kiki with Sarah Galli from The Andy's Girls Podcast. Deeply fulfilled after another perfect episode of Beverly Hills, Sarah awakes bright eyed and bushy tailed (Dear Hinge: bow-chicka-wow-wow), and immediately races to the People's People's Couch for a spiritual People's People's Court. She dials up the Hunky to her Dory, the Thoma to her Sina, and the official AG legal correspondent, Emily D. Baker (legal commentator, former prosecutor, and host of The Emily Show). They unpack Britney Spears' legal battle, and the freedoms Tom Girardi is afforded that she is not, a nuanced conversation around how one can empathize with Erika while still holding her to account, and why Sutton and Crystal's epic argument may stem from their opposing reactions to conflict. You'll never get to call Sarah's leather pants ugly, because this dame wears dresses instead - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 232!

Britney Spears has had enough. On June 23rd she told the court. On July 14th she got her own lawyer, now on July 26th, her lawyer is asking James Spears to resign and if now asking the court to suspend and then remove him. This will be back before the court on September 29th and I suspect the court will remove James Spears at that time. In fact, I will be shocked if the court doesn't remove him.

Blizzard/Activision has been sued over allegations of staggering harassment and workplace discrimination that have resulted in female employees being forced to leave their jobs to protect themself and one employee taking her own life. The allegations are triggering and raw, but sadly not unfamiliar to many women in male-dominated fields.

The 13 year Britney Spears conservatorship has really come to the forefront of conversation in the last few months. While many were aware of the conservatorship and the Free Britney movement has been pushing for Britney to be released from her conservatorship for years...but for everyone else, this is a lot of catch-up to get up to speed on what is happening with this case. Today's episode is a little shorter to help condense what the most controversial aspects of the conservatorship are and what I think is coming down the road next.

Real Housewife of Salt Lake City Jen Shah was shockingly arrested in March 2021 while Bravo cameras were rolling. It really was something. During her arraignment, we learned that the Government believes that Jen Shah was at the TOP of a telemarketing scheme. She was charged with Conspiracy to commit Wire Fraud and Conspiracy to commit Money Laundering. Shah's attorney's filed a substantial motion asking the court to dismiss the indictment and then asked the court to suppress all of Jen Shah's post-arrest statements alleging, in part, that she couldn't voluntarily waive her Miranda rights because her contacts were dry...I am not joking. The Government responded with quite a lot of facts that we hadn't heard before including that Jen Shah was deposed in a substantial FTC lawsuit with regards to the same acts and companies well before she agreed to be a part of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. There is a lot of information here so get a snack and let's get into it.

On June 23, 2021, Britney Spears spoke at a status conference for her Conservatorship. It was a rare moment in open court, broadcast for the media and the world to hear how she was feeling. She spoke clearly and quickly as if she was worried she wouldn't be allowed to get all of her statements out, or that she wouldn't be heard. It's clear that in 13 years of this conservatorship what the #FreeBritney movement has feared is largely true. What Britney detailed is heartbreaking. Her lack of autonomy has been widely speculated on and she detailed it painfully. I would love to hear your thoughts on social!

We are seeing a new wave of lawsuits that illustrate a new twist to the push-pull between a companies right to choose who they work with and employee and discrimination based on ideology or activities that occur outside of work. From Amy Cooper (The Central Park Karen) suing her former employer after being fired for the viral incident in central park to Beauty Influencer Amanda Ensing suing Sephora for alleged defamatory remarks made when cutting ties with her. Conservative 'comedian' and commentator Steven Crowder has said he is suing YouTube for demonetizing and striking his channel, he is ostensibly suing for discrimination based on viewpoint, but we will see. The line between workplace behavior and outside-of-work behavior is clearly blurring due to social media. So where do we go from here?

Shannon Beador is suing her Divorce Attorney alleging that she was not properly advised during her divorce from David Beador. This includes allegations that the attorney didn’t account for the kids college tuition payments, that the Divorce attorney told her to settle the case because they weren’t prepared for trial and that she had to give up her USC endowment to her Ex. In other RHOC legal news, Shannon was also sued for defamation by Jim Bellino and subsequently won the suit with her successful Anti-Slapp motion.

The Trustee in the Bankruptcy Case for Girardi Keese (Tom Girardi's Law Firm) is seeking to appoint Twitter Legal Commentator Ronald Richards as the special litigator tasked with tracking down any loans or funds moved from Girardi Keese to Erika Girardi or her companies. Much like Richards has had a lot to say about Erika on Twitter, Erika's lawyers have a lot to say in their objection.

This is the wildest YouTube lawsuit I have seen yet. It involves alleged copyright violations over a PayPerView fight involving controversial YouTube creator Jake Paul. The allegations here make a lot of conclusory statements but no actual facts. The court threw out this lawsuit once, how long will it take for this to be thrown out again?? My guess is not long.

Both Bankruptcy Trustees are seeking to hire special counsel to sue Erika Girardi to claw back any property or loans provided to her or her companies. I have wondered when this would happen. If these motions are approved by the court we will likely see Erika Girardi and her companies sued within the Bankruptcy.  ResourcesGirardi Breakdown Videos -- https://youtu.be/Qn16T4ySkec (https://youtu.be/Qn16T4ySkec)  Join the Text Crew https://http://www.textemily.com (www.TextEmily.Com) Looking for the YouTube videos? https//http://www.watchemily.com (www.WatchEmily.com) Want to connect with Emily More? https://http://www.instagram.com/theemilydbaker (www.Instagram.com/theemilydbaker)  I do share things on Twitter too! https://www.twitter.com/theemilydbaker

It's so hard....to say goodbye... to yesterday... I am kidding, kind of. In this episode I take a look at some of the cases we have covered that are all the way over. Nike v. MSCHF over the Satan Shoes settled and was dismissed. Taylor Swift v. Evermore and Evermore v. Taylor Swift both settled. Johnny Depp v. The Sun UK, he lost at trial and his appeal was denied.

A lot has happened in the legal world in the last week. MSCHF announced the Satan Shoes collab with Lil Nas X, but used a Nike Air Max shoe for the collab. Nike doesn't approve of this shoe and has now sued MSCHF over the shoes. A court granted a temporary restraining order over it and this suit is pushing forward quickly. With the Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi case I thought we had seen the biggest Housewife scandal we would see. I was WRONG! The Jen Shah indictment, arrest and arraignment is wild.

Since the recording of this episode the State Bar has filed charges against Tom Girardi Accusing him of Misappropriating millions from clients. I have linked the latest reporting down below. Currently, the most active courts in this case (due to the Bankruptcy stay in most courts), are the two Bankruptcy cases and the Conservatorship case. Some of the most interesting updates are the newly filed financial documents in the bankruptcy case and the fact that Erika has filed an objection in the bankruptcy court.

The College Admission scandal showed everyone the lengths some parents will go to in order to further their children. While Parents in those cases used to access and money to steal opportunities for their children other parents have found different ways to try to do something similar. Both stories I cover in this episode are pending criminal prosecution as of 3-24-21. First, a Pennsylvania cheer mom used technology to create ‘deep fake’ videos and images of teens on her daughter’s cheer squad in a seeming attempt to discredit those teens by showing that they were engaging in behavior that goes against the teams’ honor code. The Victory Vipers are an elite cheer team in Doylestown Pa. Law enforcement said that the woman used apps on her phone to alter photos and videos of three teens, then masked her cell phone number to send those to coaches on the team and teens themselves. The District Attorney of Bucks County charged the 50-year-old mom with 3 counts of cyber harassment of a child and 3 counts of harassment, both misdemeanors.  Second, a Flordia Elementary School Assistant Principal and her teen daughter were arrested for allegedly using the mother’s access to school accounts to change over 100 votes in the Homecoming election. It’s alleged that they accessed the school’s system to changes votes from a singular IP address. They have been charged with one count each of offenses against users of computers, computer systems, computer networks, and electronic devices, a third-degree felony; unlawful use of a two-way communications device, a third-degree felony; criminal use of personally identifiable information, a third-degree felony; and conspiracy to commit these offenses, which is a first-degree misdemeanor.

I still can't believe it's been a year since parts of the United States went into lockdown. We are all still dealing with Covid, lockdowns, distance learning, and sorting out what the next steps look like. In this episode, my husband and I talk about what the year of lockdown has been like for us.

On international women's day, Burger King tweeted "Women belong in the kitchen"... later they subtweeted (tweeted under the original tweet) that only 20% of professional chefs are women and that they are giving scholarships to support women. It was poorly done...it caused a lot of outrage...that may have been the point. But it raises the question, how do we see past the outrage and emotion to get to the facts?

Tom Girardi and his Law Firm Girardi Keese were sued 11 times in 2020 in Los Angles alone. That isn’t counting the Divorce filed by his wife Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Erika Jayne, or the federal case involving the Lion Air disaster. The wave of cases in December 2020 pushed creditors to file an involuntary chapter 7 bankruptcy petition, which was later granted. The Bankruptcy court now has the Sisyphean task of unraveling the accounting and lawsuits as well as the ongoing client matters that Girardi Keese was handling. While all of that was happening Tom Girardi’s brother sought an appointment as a Guardian Ad Lietim in the Bankruptcy Court and sought a conservatorship in the LA Superior Court. On Monday 2-1-21 the conservatorship was granted on a temporary basis.  RESOURCES Emily's Case Coverage https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gIvaPnEfilr35PrLPfq01qz (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gIvaPnEfilr35PrLPfq01qz) https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/tom-girardis-brother-named-temporary-conservator-amid-medical-concerns/ https://www.law360.com/articles/1345840/girardi-gained-their-trust-but-left-them-with-regret

‘That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet’ -Shakespeare. Bridal Couture company JLM Couture has sued one of its most popular designers, Hayley Paige, for ownership of her name and her social media accounts including TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest. Shortly after the complaint was filed in this case JLM Couture asked for a preliminary injunction and while this is pending the court granted a temporary order and gave JLM Couture control over Hayley Paige’s social accounts.

So much has happened since last week. Tom Girardi & Erika Jayne have had their assets frozen by a Federal Court. That same Judge referred the case for criminal investigation and the US Attorney’s office has moved the court for documents to be released to their office. If that wasn’t enough a new judgment was entered against Tom for $7.5 Million and another court issued an attachment order to secure a $5.8Million Judgement. THEN…. Girardi’s former business partner Robert Keese filed two lawsuits. There is so much going on.  ResourcesLast Weeks Episode → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-legit-law-sh-t/id1486229281 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-legit-law-sh-t/id1486229281)   The Chicago Sun-Times Article → https://chicago.suntimes.com/2020/12/14/22174396/real-housewives-erika-jaynes-husband-held-civil-contempt-over-missing-lion-air-settlement-cash (https://chicago.suntimes.com/2020/12/14/22174396/real-housewives-erika-jaynes-husband-held-civil-contempt-over-missing-lion-air-settlement-cash)  Connect With Me Join the Text Crew https://http://www.textemily.com/ (www.TextEmily.Com) Looking for YouTube videos? https//http://www.watchemily.com/ (www.WatchEmily.com) Want to connect with Emily More? https://http://www.instagram.com/theemilydbaker (www.Instagram.com/theemilydbaker) Looking for Merch? https://www.lawnerdshop.com (https://www.lawnerdshop.com)

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Erika Jayne first caught our attention with eye-popping club music like Pretty Mess, Painkiller, and How Many Fu*ks. She has been on RHBH since 2015. Her husband is well-known attorney Tom Girardi who had numerous billion-dollar wins and settlements and whose PG&E case was made famous in the movie Erin Brockovich. Erika Girardi surprised everyone when she filed for divorce in November 2020. At that time it resurfaced that she had stated that she doesn’t have a prenup with Tom. A month later they were both sued in Federal Court alleging that Tom Girardi and his law firm Girardi Keese embezzled funds from the families of Lion Air crash victims whom he represented. The suit goes on to allege that the divorce is a sham to hide assets as the Firm Girardi Keese struggles to pay these clients, the firms debts, and to stay operational.  RESOURCES https://people.com/tv/erika-girardi-cryptic-tweet-amid-divorce-lawsuit-drama/ (https://people.com/tv/erika-girardi-cryptic-tweet-amid-divorce-lawsuit-drama/) https://people.com/tv/rhobh-star-erika-girardi-files-for-divorce-tom-girardi/ (https://people.com/tv/rhobh-star-erika-girardi-files-for-divorce-tom-girardi/) https://theblast.com/146891/rhobh-star-erika-jayne-files-for-divorce-from-husband-tom-girard (https://theblast.com/146891/rhobh-star-erika-jayne-files-for-divorce-from-husband-tom-girard) https://www.eonline.com/news/738339/why-erika-girardi-is-our-new-favorite-on-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills (https://www.eonline.com/news/738339/why-erika-girardi-is-our-new-favorite-on-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills) https://www.etonline.com/erika-jayne-and-ex-tom-girardi-sued-for-allegedly-using-divorce-to-embezzle-money-from-crash (https://www.etonline.com/erika-jayne-and-ex-tom-girardi-sued-for-allegedly-using-divorce-to-embezzle-money-from-crash) https://www.today.com/popculture/erika-jayne-s-divorce-sham-protect-couple-s-money-lawsuit-t202405 (https://www.today.com/popculture/erika-jayne-s-divorce-sham-protect-couple-s-money-lawsuit-t202405) Things cited in the lawsuit https://www.dailybreeze.com/2017/07/01/famed-attorney-thomas-girardi-accused-of-hoarding-settlement-funds-for-carsons-carousel-residents/ (https://www.dailybreeze.com/2017/07/01/famed-attorney-thomas-girardi-accused-of-hoarding-settlement-funds-for-carsons-carousel-residents/) https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/the-most-expensive-thing-erika-girardi-owns (https://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/the-most-expensive-thing-erika-girardi-owns&ust=1607483520000000&usg=AOvVaw1FQMDjYf0AI6nLFbNb6KJk&hl=en) https://www.realitytea.com/2017/12/29/erika-girardi-gave-husband-tom-girardi-5000-toilet-gift/ (https://www.realitytea.com/2017/12/29/erika-girardi-gave-husband-tom-girardi-5000-toilet-gift/) https://realityblurb.com/2018/03/21/rhobh-erika-jayne-spends-40000-a-month-on-her-appearance-says-being-rich-af-gets-boring/ (https://realityblurb.com/2018/03/21/rhobh-erika-jayne-spends-40000-a-month-on-her-appearance-says-being-rich-af-gets-boring/) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D26WFPl2ROQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D26WFPl2ROQ)  https://www.bustle.com/articles/149204-the-craziest-thing-erika-girardi-owns-truly-sets-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-star-apart (https://www.bustle.com/articles/149204-the-craziest-thing-erika-girardi-owns-truly-sets-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-star-apart) 

In a lengthy ruling in the Johnny Depp v. The Sun UK case a Judge rules against Johnny Depp determining that the Sun’s statement that Johnny Depp was a ‘wife beater’ was substantially true and therefore the Libel case was denied. Depp has been ordered to pay the Attorney Fee’s for The Sun UK, the ruling Judge has denied an application for an appeal, Depp has stated that he will appeal to the next court. Deep maintains that he has not been violent towards Heard, his legal team has argued that she has created a Hoax. The Sun UK presented 14 incidents to prove that their statement was substantially true. There is still a pending Defamation case  Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard pending in Virginia.  RESOURCES Domestic Violence Supporthttps://www.thehotline.org/ (https://www.thehotline.org/) https://www.nrcdv.org/ (https://www.nrcdv.org/) Depp v.

Since last week shit has popped off! I really didn’t want to cover the election lawsuits again. But it’s as crazy as Suenami 2020 and even though most of the lawsuits have been dismissed it hasn’t stopped the Trump legal team from leveraging massive allegations, then disavowing one of their own. I don’t even know how to summarize it.  I am frustrated at this point. We should be moving closer to the end of this election, the funds have been released for the presidential transition, lawsuits have been dismissed. But no, we have larger allegations and intrigue within the Trump legal team.  I am ready for some facts...and then some pumpkin pie.  Don't forget to check out the Law Nerd Shop....www.LawNerdShop.com ResourcesState Legislatures are now convening public hearings to address election allegations.

Trump Election Lawsuits There is a lot happening in the election...still.  I am breaking down the current lawsuits that are being waged in multiple states….you know, still.  This episode was recorded before two different courts in Pennsylvania ruled against the Trump campaign in their allegations that vote counting was not properly observed and that the elections officials properly handled the election observation process. At the end of the day these legal processes will play out, the election results will be certified. Over 70 million people will be mad,  hopefully, everyone will have a better understanding of how the court process works and we will still be facing a pandemic.

The lawsuit documents interplay heavily and it is fascinating. You do have a right to Free Speech...as it goes to the government telling you to be quiet.. But in our private lives you can say what you want..but if that sh@t is illegal then you can be sued. There is a difference between commentary and defamation, we are exploring that line.

Rachel Hollis, Dave Hollis and Hollis Co. are being sued for Trademark Infringement over ‘Made for More’.  With Rachel Hollis it’s not ‘wow she is getting sued’ it's more of ‘oh finally’. Rachel Hollis has a history of disregarding others intellectual property rights and this lawsuit lays it out! If you want to see the images of all the quotes and properties it’s linked below.  If you are familiar with Rachel Hollis at all you have likely heard of her movie ‘Made for More’.  She also sold Made for More merch on QVC and on her website.  The problem is that ‘Made for More’ is someone else's intellectual property. That means you can’t use it.  It will be so interesting to see how this sorts out.  RESOURCESPodcasts & Videoshttps://youtu.be/RyVJZkSfZlE (Should have seen that coming ….

There has been a lot of coverage of President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett and the Confirmation Process. Some believe it’s rushed, some were outraged at the questions she was asked, others outraged at the questions she didn’t answer. The hearing days were long and a moment with a blank notepad made its mark on meme culture.  This episode was a particular pleasure to record because I had the opportunity to answer your questions and they were amazing!

Yelp has taken a broad step. Some praise the social activism, many wonder how this will impact affected businesses. The label first ask questions second approach yelp is taking is problematic. By Yelp’s statement is that the advisory will go up while Yelp is investigating. It is also made clear that this doesn’t have to be an issue with the business directly because it can also be with ‘someone associated with the business’. So if an off duty employee creates this issue…. And the business gets labeled, then what?   My concern for businesses is that Yelp will label first, and it’s unclear how businesses can get these alerts removed. What we know about the court of public opinion is that it doesn’t matter what Yelps investigation finds, it matters that the accusation was placed on the business in the first place.  RESOURCES VIDEOShttps://youtu.be/tAhrlZWhq5E (Coffee Talk - Yelp labels businesses racist) https://emilydbaker.com/podcasts/getting-sued-over-bad-reviews/ (Episode 17 Podcast -- Getting Sued Over Bad Reviews) ARTICLEShttps://blog.yelp.com/2020/10/new-consumer-alert-on-yelp-takes-firm-stance-against-racism (New Consumer Alert on Yelp Takes Firm Stance Against Racism)  https://www.cato.org/publications/survey-reports/poll-62-americans-say-they-have-political-views-theyre-afraid-share (Poll: 62% of Americans Say They Have Political Views They’re Afraid to Shar)e https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52993306 (Merriam-Webster's current definition of racism) https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/10/09/922271718/yelp-will-label-businesses-accused-of-racist-behavior (Yelp Will Label Businesses Accused Of Racist Behavior)  https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/09/business/yelp-consumer-racism-alert-trnd/index.html (Yelp adds alerts to business accused of racism)  https://searchengineland.com/yelp-introduces-new-business-accused-of-racist-behavior-consumer-alert-341797 (Yelp introduces new 'business accused of racist behavior' consumer alert) https://www.clickcease.com/blog/competitor-click-fraud-a-case-study/ (Competitor Click Fraud: A Case Study | The Click Fraud Blog)   https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2020/10/09/yelp-to-publicly-shame-businesses-accused-of-racist-behavior/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook (Yelp to Publicly Shame Businesses 'Accused of Racist Behavior')   Per Yelps blog; “At Yelp, we value diversity, inclusion and belonging, both internally and on our platform, which means we have a zero-tolerance policy to racism. We know these values are important to our users and now more than ever, consumers are increasingly conscious of the types of businesses they patronize and support. In fact, we’ve seen that reviews mentioning Black-owned businesses were up more than 617% this summer compared to last summer. Support for women-owned businesses has also increased, with review mentions up 114% for the same time period. The new Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert is an extension of our Public Attention Alert that we introduced in response to a rise in social activism surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement.  So far in 2020, we’ve seen a 133% increase in the number of media-fueled incidences on Yelp compared to the same time last year. Between May 26 and September 30, we placed more than 450 alerts on business pages that were either accused of, or the target of, racist behavior related to the Black Lives Matter movement. We have maintained around-the-clock support over the last few months to ensure that we’re maintaining the trust and safety of our users and business owners. If the business takes public corrective action, such as firing an offending employee, the alert will be downgraded to a Public Attention Alert, which warns users that “someone associated with the business was accused of, or the target of, racist behavior.” What do you think? Do the problems outweigh the benefit...

President Trump has been busy. From that staggering Debate performance to the New York Times article about his taxes...to contracting COVID.  It’s a lot. I find the Tax article in the New York Times to be the least shocking of everything. I found the Debate to be a steaming hot mess. Then there was COVID. The president continues to act like he is marketing a reality show on twitter while COVID fears still have some states locked down.  I personally prefer the cautious management here in Tennessee to the authoritarian lockdown in California, but different populations will have different responses.  I can’t wait to talk to you about this week’s episode!  RESOURCESVIDEOShttps://youtu.be/uSR2AGU_Sjk (This Week: Trump Taxes, Covid & the Debate ) https://youtu.be/DUSwIQ8523o (Lawyer Reacts: Trump Tax Returns) ARTICLEShttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/27/us/donald-trump-taxes.html?referringSource=articleShare (Trump’s Taxes Show Chronic Losses and Years of Income Tax Avoidance) https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/7213 (Unauthorized Release of Information  26 USC §7213 ) https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-donald-trump-constitutions-elections-us-supreme-court-91ce484b8046e6a555e172f42c4441f9 (AP EXPLAINS: What happens if a candidate for president dies?)   https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/10/don-jr-thinks-trump-is-acting-crazy-presidents-covid-joyride-has-family-divided?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=onsite-share&utm_brand=vanity-fair&utm_social-type=earned (“Don Jr. Thinks Trump Is Acting Crazy”: The President’s COVID Joyride Has the Family Divided)  https://twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/2020/10/05/nyts-wajahat-ali-the-muslim-in-me-is-praying-for-those-afflicted-with-covid-while-the-samuel-l-jackson-in-me-is-rooting-for-covid/ (NYT's Wajahat Ali: 'The Muslim in me is praying' for those afflicted with COVID, while 'the Samuel L.

The Breonna Taylor Case.  I have discussed this case at length and more information keeps coming. The Grand Jury Decision in this case was followed by an announcement by the Attorney General of Kentucky last week. Then this week a judge ordered the recordings of the Grand Jury released as evidence in the criminal prosecution of Officer Hankison who is charged with three counts of wanton endangerment, the Attorney General of Kentucky made another statement and one of the grand jurors sought a court order to be allowed to speak to the media. Buckle up. There is a lot more to come.  ResourcesVideos & Podcastshttps://emilydbaker.com/podcasts/the-death-of-breonna-taylor/ (Episode 39: The Death of Breonna Taylor ) https://youtu.be/jpHo_A8yxxk (Lawyer Reacts: A Breonna Taylor Grand Juror wants to speak) https://youtu.be/93dTfkU0hIw (Lawyer Reacts: What Brene Brown Said about the Breonna Taylor case is hugely problematic ) https://youtu.be/n7zK6pR2huM (The Breonna Taylor Grand Jury Decision) https://youtu.be/n7zK6pR2huM (Lawyer Reacts: The Attorney General’s statement in the Breonna Taylor Case) Articleshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/09/28/breonna-taylor-grand-juror/ (Attorney for grand juror in Breonna Taylor case says prosecutor ‘may not have presented’ all the evidence)   https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/breonna-taylor/2020/09/28/grand-juror-files-suit-seeking-release-transcript-breonna-taylor-case/3568388001/ (AG Cameron to release Breonna Taylor grand jury records after juror complains he misled)  https://www.scribd.com/document/477902047/Grand-juror-s-lawsuit#download&from_embed (https://www.scribd.com/document/477902047/Grand-juror-s-lawsuit#download&from_embed)   https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/29/kentucky-grand-jury-tapes-breonna-taylor-422864 (https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/29/kentucky-grand-jury-tapes-breonna-taylor-422864)  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/grand-jury-member-says-kentucky-ag-used-jurors-shield-seeks-n1241294 (Grand jury recording in Breonna Taylor to be made public)   https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/ag-daniel-cameron-press-conference-transcript-september-23-breonna-taylor-decision (AG Daniel Cameron Press Conference Transcript September 23: Breonna Taylor Decision)   https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/09/28/body-cam-video-breonna-taylor-case-leaks-onto-social-media/3558987001/ (Body cam video in Breonna Taylor case leaks onto social media and Vice)   https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/v7gwyy/new-body-cam-footage-raises-questions-about-breonna-taylor-death-investigation (New Body-Cam Footage Raises Questions About Breonna Taylor Death Investigation)  https://www.tmz.com/2020/09/27/breonna-taylor-ballistics-report-inconclusive-bullet-hit-lmpd-cop/ (Breonna Taylor Ballistics Report Inconclusive On Whose Bullet Hit LMPD Cop)  https://abcnews.go.com/US/ballistics-report-raises-questions-breonna-taylor-shooting-attorney/story?id=73279097 (Ballistics report raises questions in Breonna Taylor shooting) https://www.wkyt.com/2020/08/26/warrants-issued-for-arrest-of-breonna-taylors-ex-boyfriend-amid-leaked-new-documents/ (Warrants issued for arrest of Breonna Taylor's ex-boyfriend amid leaked new documents)   https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/09/04/report-details-why-louisville-police-wanted-search-breanna-taylors-home/5706161002/ (Breonna Taylor case: Report details why police wanted to search home) https://apnews.com/28a283922de8784f6fca5c42fe8e5bca?utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=AP (2 Louisville officers shot amid Breonna Taylor protests) https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/09/27/ballistics-report-breonna-taylor-boyfriend-kenneth-walker-shot-louisville-cop/3554995001/ (Ballistics don't support AG claim that Kenneth Walker shot cop)...

“I Think Prince and Mike was tryna warn me” - Kanye West Kanye West has taken up the personal mission to bring change to the oft-criticized music industry. He did so by taking to twitter, peeing on his grammy and exposing his own contracts. There are over a hundred pages of contracts on Twitter for all the world to see. Kanye has set forth a 7 point plan to ‘push the’ music industry into the 21st century’. He declared that he is the new Moses. But he isn’t wrong.  His criticism of the music industry echos so many others, most notably Prince...whose fight with Sony Music lead to him changing his name to a symbol. There is a lot to talk about so let’s break it down!

Well, Twitter is all a…..well, a twitter, over the new Netflix movies ‘Cuties’. This is a French film that’s a Sundance award winner with a female director. However, it’s also very, very provocative and is either attempting to make a point, or is child pornography. The outrage was swift and by some accounts, Netflix has lost billions. I watched the film so we can have a chat, break down my thoughts, and talk about the legal standards of child pornography.  RESOURCES https://www.theverge.com/2020/9/11/21431174/cancel-netflix-cuties-movie-maimouna-doucoure-backlash-petition (Why 'Cancel Netflix' is trending) https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2020-08-20/netflix-cuties-petition-french-film (Petition asks Netflix to remove film that 'sexualizes' girls) https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/netflix-cuties-controversy-explained (Netflix's 'Cuties' Controversy, Explained)  https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/12/lawmakers-demand-federal-investigation-into-netflix-film-cuties-for-child-pornography/ (Lawmakers Demand Federal Investigation Into Netflix Film 'Cuties' For Child Pornography)  https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/11/gop-lawmakers-justice-department-netflix-cuties/ (EXCLUSIVE: GOP Lawmakers Call On Justice Department To Take Legal Action Against Netflix For Sexualizing Children)  https://goodsauce.news/netflix-shareholders-lose-9-billion-as-it-refuses-to-stop-sexualising-children/ (Netflix shareholders lose $9 BILLION as it refuses to stop sexualising children) https://twitter.com/GhostJim4/status/1303771909356650496?s=20 (Cuties on Netflix is open pedophilia. #BoycottNetfli)x https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/citizens-guide-us-federal-law-child-pornography (Citizen's Guide To US Federal Law On Child Pornography) https://twitter.com/Cythesuccubus/status/1304175620394491905?s=20 (https://twitter.com/Cythesuccubus/status/1304175620394491905?s=20) https://twitter.com/GhostJim4/status/1303778528169689088?s=20 (https://twitter.com/GhostJim4/status/1303778528169689088?s=20) https://twitter.com/GhostJim4/status/1303778934421680129?s=20 (https://twitter.com/GhostJim4/status/1303778934421680129?s=20) https://www.forbes.com/sites/elanagross/2020/09/11/netflix-defends-cuties-as-social-commentary-against-sexualization-of-young-children/?fbclid=IwAR0s04nqT-GLqemLPPqQEoTayCkTsYvchI5KzvA-Ej-MR_L6hGgBhw0ohDc#5f6b726f7351 (https://www.forbes.com/sites/elanagross/2020/09/11/netflix-defends-cuties-as-social-commentary-against-sexualization-of-young-children/?fbclid=IwAR0s04nqT-GLqemLPPqQEoTayCkTsYvchI5KzvA-Ej-MR_L6hGgBhw0ohDc#5f6b726f7351) https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/citizens-guide-us-federal-law-child-pornography (https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/citizens-guide-us-federal-law-child-pornography) If you want me to cover a particular story or situation please contact the show at GetLegit@emilydbaker.com  Come hang with me on social! I want to chat with you in the http://www.getlegitlive.com (Get Legit Community Facebook Group )!!  If you need help with your business you can find my products at http://www.getlegitshop.com (www.GetLegitShop.com) and my legal consulting at http://www.emilydbaker.com (www.EmilyDBaker.com)

I hope that the most important thing that we take away from the Kenosha unrest is that making a decision about a situation in one or two sentences of a news headline is not the full picture. The media has been taking the Jacob Blake shooting and creating a narrative juxtaposing it to the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting.  When the facts of these two situations are evaluated they are not the same in many regards. They are the same in that they are both avoidable. First, both situations are still under investigation and developing. Kyle Rittenhouse is in custody with murder charges (among others) pending. Jacob Blake is in the hospital paralyzed and recovering from 7 gunshot wounds.  But let’s discuss the surrounding situations based on the information available. Jacob Blake has pending charges arising out of a sexual assault and domestic violence case. There seems to be a restraining order in relation to those charges. Jacob Blake showed up at the victims’ house, broke in, attempted to steal her car resulting in her calling the police. When the police showed up to arrest Jabob Blake with the outstanding warrant and apparently violated the restraining order. He then wouldn’t comply with the police was Tasered twice, and reached for a weapon whereupon he was shot. The circumstances surrounding this are avoidable. Kyle Rittenhouse at 17 decided to head into Kenosha, an already tense situation, with an AR15 that he wasn’t supposed to be carrying based on his age. He then stayed in the area late into the night, he wasn’t questioned about his weapon (though open carry laws mean that people were walking around legally carrying similar weapons), he kept moving with the crowds of protestors until there was a confrontation. What we know from the video is that a protester behind Kyle Rittenhouse fired a weapon and Kyle turned around and fired injuring a protestor. The crowd turned on Rittenhouse, he was knocked to the ground protestors attempted to disarm him and he killed two. He shouldn’t have had that weapon. He is too young to be trusted to make good decisions in a dangerous situation he put himself in. He made these decisions that ended the lives of two people, this doesn’t discount the decisions of the protestors who were attacking someone armed with an AR15 cause that seems like terrible decision making too. But the circumstances here were also avoidable.  RESOURCES  https://www.wbay.com/2020/08/28/jacob-blake-no-longer-in-restraints-in-hospital-more-kenosha-officers-identified/ (Police association: Jacob Blake physically struggled with officers before shooting )  https://www.dailywire.com/news/walsh-before-you-honor-jacob-blake-as-a-martyr-read-the-criminal-complaint-against-him?itm_source=parsely-api?utm_source=cnemail&utm_medium=email&utm_content=082920-news&utm_campaign=position5 (WALSH: Before You Honor Jacob Blake As A Martyr, Read The Criminal Complaint Against Him) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8675227/Criminal-complaint-Jacob-Blake-says-wanted-domestic-abuse-sexual-assault.html (Criminal complaint for Jacob Blake says he was wanted for domestic abuse and sexual assault)  https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29748584/the-day-games-stopped-line-jacob-blake-was-shot-back (The day the games stopped: A timeline since Jacob Blake was shot in the back) https://www.npr.org/2020/08/28/907101725/wisconsin-ag-pushes-back-on-criticism-of-investigation-into-jacob-blake-shooting (Wisconsin AG Pushes Back On Criticism Of Investigation Into Jacob Blake Shooting)  https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/jacob-blake-kenosha-police-shooting-08-31-2020/index.html (The latest on Kenosha police shooting of Jacob Blake) https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/rally-supporting-police-draws-scores-downtown-kenosha-72715661 (Rally supporting police draws scores to downtown Kenosha) ...

The Britney Spears Conservatorship is the backdrop of the Free Britney movement….wait the #FreeBritney movement. Her fans have demanded that attention is turned to the over 12-year conservatorship that has been granted to Britney’s father Jamie Spears. The conservatorship was set to expire in August 2020 but was extended until February 2021 while the court asks for additional legal motions. Britney has recently spent time in a mental health facility which some argue was a tactical move by her father to keep the conservatorship going, or as necessary to support her in light of her fathers health struggles.  There is a lot of behind the scenes that we don’t know here, because of the nature of the conservatorship. It’s meant to be private but is it time to transition to allowing Britney to have more freedom. To be able to choose if she wants to have another child, to get married, to drive her car. I completely understand why her fans are so concerned, I also think it’s time to have real conversations about taking the stigma away from mental health struggles, to examine what happens to celebrities in the US, and to question if cancel culture is making these issues worse.  RESOURCES VIDEOS https://youtu.be/PNepjO5_1TM (The Sad Story of the #FreeBritney Movement: Britney needs us. ) https://youtu.be/xxXFj4tzRB4 (Britney Spears’ Husband Supports Free Britney)  https://youtu.be/l7NJGGCECDg (Free Britney: The Britney Spears Conservatorship) https://youtu.be/fceT7Lb0W-k (Top 10 Times Britney Spears Called for Help) https://youtu.be/pSd9hiBGoE0 (Britney Spears Carpool Karaoke) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiJqPiHfzuU (Jamie Lynn Spears Addresses 'Free Britney') https://youtu.be/8FcDlBFGxT8 (Britney Spears Will Never Be Okay Again) ARTICLES  https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/18/arts/music/britney-spears-conservatorship.html (Britney Spears Seeking Substantial Changes to Conservatorship) https://www.tmz.com/2019/09/06/jamie-spears-britney-conservatorship-step-down/ (Jamie Spears Asking to Temporarily Step Down as Britney's Conservator) https://www.insider.com/britney-spears-dad-conservator-conservatorship-jamie-lynn-altercation-son-2019-9 (Britney Spears' dad has asked to step down as her conservator for now) https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/britney-spears-pal-unearths-letter-on-conservatorship-k-fed/ (Britney Spears’ Pal Unearths Letter She Wrote About Conservatorship, K-Fed) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/21/arts/music/britney-spears-conservatorship.html (Britney Spears Conservatorship to Remain As Is Until 2021) https://www.nbcchicago.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/britney-spears-conservatorship-extended-to-february-2021/2326493/ (Britney Spears' Conservatorship Extended to February 2021 – NBC Chicago) OTHER LINKS https://www.neilstrauss.com (Neil Strauss | NY Times Bestselling Author & Transformational Journalist) https://www.amazon.com/Neil-Strauss/e/B001H6NT1I?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1598411689&sr=8-1 (Neil Strauss Books ) If you want me to cover a particular story or situation please contact the show at GetLegit@emilydbaker.com  Come hang with me on social! I want to chat with you in the http://www.getlegitlive.com (Get Legit Community Facebook Group )!!  If you need help with your business you can find my products at http://www.getlegitshop.com (www.GetLegitShop.com) and my legal consulting at http://www.emilydbaker.com (www.EmilyDBaker.com)

Are shifting Independent Contractor Regulations, Heightened Enforcement & Lawsuits the end for Uber? Will it be the end of the Gig economy? Should Independent contractors be allowed to choose how they work and not have the government regulating work so heavily or is Uber making money (thought hey have never turned a profit) off the backs of their drivers? The looming deadline in California is going to force Uber and Lyft to make some large changes to their business very very soon.

President Trump has recently signed quite a few Executive Orders that have garnered attention for a number of different reasons. I am personally most fascinated by the President taking on social media in different ways. A lot of the laws regulating the online space were written in the 90’s, long before social media as we know it was in existence. This clearly presents issues for government, employers, and society. Some of those decisions may be out of our hands  if these new Executive Orders stand.  The President has gone after TikTok, Facebook and Twitter by way of trying to open the door for platforms to be sued over censorship. One of the signatures of the Trump Presidency is quick action/impatience, and that is what we clearly see in the stimulus Executive Order.  I would love to hear your thoughts on these Executive Orders over in our http://www.getlegitlive.com (Facebook Community.)

I have thoughts... I have made it pretty clear that I think Rachel Hollis is a fakey faker. Her brand of toxic positivity wrapped with curated authenticity just pisses me off. The announcement of her new book “Didn’t See that Coming” like a month and a half after she announced her divorce from Dave Hollis on Instagram just put me over the edge with it. I am outraged and the unyielding monetizing of bullshit. Rachel Hollis made clear in her divorce announcement that their marriage had been struggling for the last three years….and during that time she has released books, coaching, marriage retreat weekends and podcasts on the topic of having an epic marriage. It’s all such bullshit. She posted on Instagram in May that her new book was into the publisher, seemingly days after she told Dave that their marriage was over. This despite the fact that in ‘Girl Wash Your Face’ she describes divorce as not an option, that anything can be solved with communication, sex toys, and making out. So she is fine selling this to her audience but not following the advice for herself. All of it is overwhelmingly gross. She built an empire on marketing a life she wasn’t living. I am over this brand of BS influencer and I hope that everyone else is too.

First, a huge shout out to Rachel Brenke for having me on the Business Bites podcast and letting me share this episode with you guys! It was a great conversation about the changing laws in CA, and different implications. In the following months the State of California has dialed down on these laws and while California is reducing budgets everywhere they increased budgets for enforcement of AB5.  If you have ever wondered what kind of nerdy chats lawyers have….this conversation is a perfect example… enjoy.

After Episode 42 I heard your questions - all of them.... You asked ‘but why Tennessee?’. So let’s break it down...how do you pick somewhere new to live? First, know that this wasn’t a quick decision. It was a process that has been going on in my mind for at least two years. I have been exploring if we would leave California...why we would leave and what our family values the most. Moving is a total pain in the ass, moving across the country is exciting and terrifying. Moving during a pandemic is exhausting. But we know what we are moving towards with our family and the life we have chosen. If you are considering a move these are the factors that mattered most to us..and how we made the decision to move to middle Tennessee.

In Episode 41 I share with you how I began to choose my life. What I share in Episode 42 is a natural growth of that. My family and I are choosing our life and it has lead us to Middle Tennessee. We have been talking about moving out of Southern California for some time...but it felt like there were so many obstacles to us actually doing it. Truthfully...sitting here today it’s still a bit unreal that we made it happen. We sold our house, closed a business, packed things and kids and cars and drove from California to Tennessee in the middle of a pandemic. But we did it, we are here and we are so stinking excited.

My Journey. I started my journey long before I quit my career as a District Attorney. There were lots of little moments that lead up to big life decisions. As I continue to redefine success, achievement, and living my best life I still use the three words framework to figure out what that is. This interview with my friend Hal Elrod on the Achieve Your Goals podcast was one of the first ‘big’ podcast interviews that I did. It felt like a turning point for me. Hal was a gracious friend and mentor to me as I was finding my legs as an entrepreneur. If you haven’t read the Miricle Morning it’s accessible and affirming! His own journey is inspiring. I hope you enjoy the interview and I would love to hear your 3 words.  Links & Resources Check out https://halelrod.com/ (HAL) https://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Morning-Not-So-Obvious-Guaranteed-Transform-ebook/dp/B00AKKS278/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1594185200&sr=8-2 (Check out The Miracle Morning FOR FREE!) https://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Equation-Decisions-Possible-Inevitable-ebook/dp/B07J48YH8J/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1594185311&sr=8-2 (Check out The Miracle Equation)  If you want me  to cover a particular story or situation please contact the show at GetLegit@emilydbaker.com  Come hang with me on social!  I want to chat with you in the http://www.getlegitlive.com (Get Legit Community Facebook Group )!!  If you need help with your business you can find my products  at http://www.getlegitshop.com (www.GetLegitShop.com) and my legal consulting at http://www.emilydbaker.com (www.EmilyDBaker.com)

The death of Breonna Taylor is absolutely tragic. There is no arguing that. What I have learned in over 10 years as a prosecutor though is that tragic circumstances don't necessairly mean it’s illegal. Sometimes waiting for justice in the form of a conviction will leave you waiting forever. In this episode, I discuss the facts surrounding the search warrant served at Breonna Taylors home, the circumstances that lead to her death, and what I think will happen with this case.  In the months since her death, we have seen a new law passed in Louisiana and one of the officers involved fired. But will we see criminal cases here?

Additional charges were filed against Derek Chauvin, the other three officers involved in the attempted arrest and death of George Floyd have been arrested and charged. The Medical Examiners office updated its provisional autopsy report. When I get asked to talk about what I think might happen in this case I look for context from other similar cases. In Minneapolis Minnesota there is one, the death of Justine Ruszcyk who was shot and killed by officer Mohamad Noor in July 2017. This episode breaks down the new Second Degree Murder Charge, the Aiding and Abetting charge against the other officers, and the killing of Justine Ruszcyk.

The killing of George Floyd has rocked the US and sparked protests around the world. Police officers are rarely charged with Murder in discharging their duties and there is no disagreeing that what Derek Chauvin did was a crime and not policing.  There was outrage at the charges filed, third-degree Murder and Second Degree Manslaughter. Breaking down what these changes mean, what the murder and manslaughter statues look like in Minnesota, and how they apply to this case will hopefully be a helpful step in understanding what is happening. When dealing with the prosecution of a Police Officer who was acting in the line of duty there are additional defenses available to them when they are prosecuted, I talk about those too.  Resources & Articles from this EpisodeMinnesota Criminal Statutes https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.185 (Murder in the First Degree) https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.19 (Second Degree Murder) https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.195 (Third Degree Murder) https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.20 (Manslaughter First Degree) https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.205 (Second Degree Manslaughter) News Stories covering this case https://abcnews.go.com/US/independent-autopsy-george-floyd-findings-announced/story?id=70994827 (Independent autopsy finds George Floyd died of homicide by asphyxia) https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/minneapolis-police-officers-derek-chauvin-arrested-george-floyd-case-n1216011 (Ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin charged with murder in George Floyd case) https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/george-floyd-family-release-results-autopsy-70994420 (Medical examiner: Floyd's heart stopped while restrained)  If you want me  to cover a particular story or situation please contact the show at GetLegit@emilydbaker.com  Come hang with me on social!  I want to chat with you in the http://www.getlegitlive.com (Get Legit Community Facebook Group )!!  If you need help with your business you can find my products  at http://www.getlegitshop.com (www.GetLegitShop.com) and my legal consulting at http://www.emilydbaker.com (www.EmilyDBaker.com)

As some states are starting to reopen, others are uncertain when businesses will start to reopen. Businesses are struggling to figure out how to reopen while protecting employees and customers alike while others are trying to figure out how to have their PPP loans forgiven. Companies large and small are going through rounds of layoffs, others are making permanent plans to keep their workforce working from home.

First....Congress passed additional funding for the PPP on April 21st and I expect it to be signed into law this week and funds should start rolling out soon. I will be updating that in the Facebook Group! If you are angry, confused or frustrated about the PPP and the way the Stimulus checks are rolling out, you are not alone.

RANT Ahead....I am kinda pissed about the way small business, independent contractors and the self-employed are being treated. I have long said that the way to get ahead and live 'the American dream' is through business ownership. The tax laws are business friendly, there are a tremendous amount of options for how to structure your work and your life. I have also said that it's not for the faint of heart. The situation with Coronavirus, the Paycheck Protection Program and the SBA loans have highlighted what types of businesses are favored. As small business owners are put last in line for aid, struggle to find lenders and are unsure when they will receive money larger businesses are able to apply through their regular banks due to existing relationships.

Since last we discussed COPPA ( you know...last week) YouTube has asked the FTC for additional clarification and has continued to punt the issue in the direction of content creators. My advice to creators is to pay close attention to what is happening here. You can find my blog post on this episode at http://www.emilydbaker.com/coppa2 (www.emilydbaker.com/coppa2)  The FTC’s compliance guide is here → https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule-six-step-compliance (https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule-six-step-compliance)  If you want Emily to cover a particular story or situation please contact the show at GetLegit@emilydbaker.com  You can connect with Emily  If you want to connect with Emily she basically lives on Instagram @TheEmilyDBaker.

Hope you enjoyed today’s episode! I have said it before the FTC DOES NOT PLAY! YouTube and Parent Company Google fined 170 million in a historic settlement over the violation of Children’s Privacy. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA ...not like the cabana), has a number of requirements that YouTube has blatantly flouted. This is causing a massive overhaul at YouTube that has some negative implications for content creators and advertisers alike.  If you want to read the FTC’s complaint it’s https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/cases/youtube_complaint.pdf (HERE).
