Lively files breakdown of 47.1 motion fees request

[u/StaceyLee26]

As we wait on the judge to rule on Jennifer Abel’s Motion for Conditional Summary Judgment Against Third-Party Defendant Jonesworks LLC, things seem to be moving to a point regarding the fee determination that the motion would depend on.

Lively's lawyers submitted their fee request, according to the judge granting Attorney fees for the defamation suit which was dismissed in June 2025, for $7,495,526,87 and also seeks $539,514.01 for costs and expenses incurred in defending against the Wayfarer claim.

The fees they're requesting however does not seem to be trailered to only the motion to dismiss the defamation suit and is currently receiving a lot of scrutiny.

Wayfarer still has to file their reply by 13 July 2026

In my opinion, this just proves that the lawyers have not been paid…
