Allegedly Golden: Episode 4

Описание: In this episode, I am exploring why celebrity culture feels different now...not because the glamour is gone, but because we understand too much about how image-making works behind the scenes. That understanding becomes especially important when celebrity narratives collide with the courtroom.

This week’s Civil Disorder segment focuses heavily on the ongoing Lively litigation, as the court prepares for a pivotal hearing that could dramatically reshape (or even end) the case. A major development precedes that hearing: the judge’s decision on what evidence will remain sealed and what the public will finally be allowed to see.

The episode breaks down why sealing evidence is unusual, what the law actually says about public access to court records, and why the distinction between confidential and private information matters more than most people realize. From discovery disputes to deposition secrecy, this case raises serious questions about transparency, litigation strategy, and whether selective secrecy has been used to shape public perception.
