I'm sure BL knows this and having pictures taken with DM is an attempt at trying to make her own claims seem valid. It's an attempt at credibility by way of using a true victim. I hate this for DM.' Another expressed, 'All these fake Hollywood people…' A third said, 'Blake's smile is so annoying and phony. And Demi would pose with a scarecrow disguised as a human.'

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal battle: The actress is not looking forward to settle; wants to prove harassment claims in trial
The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal case has had a tumultuous ride throughout the months, and after the recent gavel bangs in the courts, it's safe to say that the drama has just begun. Lively's lawyer declared that they aren't celebrating too soon, nor are they looking to settle. Blake Lively isn't backing ends only with a trial According to TMZ, Blake Lively and her team are not backing out of this case because they want to go all the way to trial, which has been scheduled to be in March 2026. Previously, Justin Baldoni's lead attorney, Bryan Freedman, gave a public statement that his team is looking forward to re-filing the four claims that weren't dismissed by prejudice, and plans to depose Lively sometime this month. As a response, the 37-year-old's lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, claimed that Freedman doesn't need to worry at all. Why? Because the 'Gossip Girl' alum wants to take Baldoni to court, and prove every single sexual harassment claim against him. Gottlieb further stated that Blake champions this move as she wants to procure justice after a fight, not just for herself but for every woman who brings claims forward just like her. A huge win for Blake Lively Regarding whether Lively's team is celebrating the win too soon, Gottlieb stated that they are not because what they won on Monday is a huge legal win that attacks Baldoni's merits. Earlier on TMZ, Freedman opened up about his reaction to the dismissal of the $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively. He stated that his reaction is exactly the same as the 'It Ends with Us' director, Justin Baldoni, has - it's not right, it's not fair. About the dismissal On Monday, June 9, Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed the lawsuit against Lively, claiming that the statements were protected under the legal rights, and another $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times, claiming that they reasonably believed the claims while reporting.

Chinese passenger has meltdown over overweight luggage at Italy airport, video goes viral
The Chinese tourist rolled on the floor and wailed, leaving bystanders stunned and sparking mixed reactions across social media platforms. A Chinese tourist had a dramatic emotional breakdown at Milan Malpensa Airport in Italy after her carry-on luggage was found to be overweight – the video of the incident that has gone viral since then has sparked both shock and amusement among social media users. The incident took place at the boarding counter on June 8, according to Viral Press. Airport staff checked the passenger's carry-on suitcase and informed her that it exceeded the allowed weight limit. She was asked to either pay an additional fee or remove some items from her bag. The request triggered a surprising reaction. In a viral video, the woman can be seen collapsing to the floor, wailing, and flailing her arms and legs in a full-blown tantrum reminiscent of a toddler. She rolled on the ground, hitting the floor with her hands and feet as stunned bystanders looked on. Airport authorities attempted to console the visibly distressed traveller, but she remained inconsolable. Ultimately, she was put on a different flight after she calmed down. The video, initially shared by Viral Press, was later reposted by the Daily Mail on Instagram (@dailymail). A post shared by Daily Mail (@dailymail) The video attracted thousands of reactions online, ranging from amused to empathetic. One Instagram user jokingly commented: 'Ah, I just witnessed that this morning with my 4-year-old when I asked her to put on her shoes to get out the door for playschool.' Another added, 'I really didn't need to see this from her, but I guess it's a good one if you're under 3.' However, not all responses mocked the woman. One user offered a more considerate perspective, 'I was wondering if the underlying reason could be that there's a possibility she's autistic or has any disorder that could explain her tantrum or whatever. Not justifying her behavior, but maybe there's much more context we had to understand. Anyway, there could also be a possibility that she's just spoiled too, but no one knows nonetheless.'
