Oh, I absolutely disagree. Paedon was making TikToks wearing a "What. Does the Nanny. Do?" T-shirt. He was doing podcasts, and trying to establish a social media presence. I just think Gwen and Mykelti were smarter about monetizing (and if he's still in the service, perhaps there are some restrictions on what he can do -- I don't know). He was primarily smack talking Robyn, but then he pivoted to Meri, and started standing up for Robyn (which, to me, felt like Daddy had words with him).

If Meri’s NDA really is as tight and tough as they say, it would probably come close to being oppressive and cover non-confidential information? Heck, if rumours are true, you cannot even say you attended! Let alone share if it was any good…. It really makes me wonder if she’d stand a chance if she was sued over this. I think if something bad happened or one was defrauded, the NDA would not be enforceable. Besides, does anyone really think that Meri would spend the money and time to sue someone and the endure the backlash from fans if an attendee said something? Especially if that person was not wealthy and did not have the money to pay a judgment? 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/325/#findComment-7881042
GeeGolly February 22, 2023 Share February 22, 2023 We're not talking, say, Tom Brady's nanny, we're talking about someone who went on a Z-list retreat. I'm sure they could spout away with little repercussions, but if they were worried about it, but still wanted to get the info out... Sally could tell Jane about the retreat and ask Jane to tell someone way outside Sally's circle. So Jane tells Dick all about it and Dick posts it on SM. Meri has no authority over Dick, nor does anyone else, so no one can compel Dick to give up his 'source'. Sure Meri could try to figure it out, but would she try? And would she be successful? 10 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/325/#findComment-7881191
65mickey February 22, 2023 Share February 22, 2023 And how would she figure out who in the group of retreat attendees spilled the beans unless they did so publicly and used their name. These people are not her employees. They are paying guests. I think that NDA is a bunch of hooey. 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/325/#findComment-7881338
Cetacean February 22, 2023 Share February 22, 2023 (edited) I can't see Meri paying an attorney to sue someone. How much money could she win on something so trivial? It's not like she's hiding the secret to a cure for cancer.

She knows it sucks and it’s not work $6k. 8 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/325/#findComment-7881374

It's not like she's hiding the secret to a cure for cancder. I'm not a lawyer, but when you sue someone, doesn't the attorney usually take the case on spec, for a share of the damages (I think one third is supposed to be typical)? That's my understanding, and so most lawyers (or most reputable lawyers) only take cases they're pretty sure they can win. If it is correct, that would mean Meri would have to find an attorney who thinks she has a good case, but if she found an attorney who thought she had a good case, that attorney would probably not charge her up front. I welcome any correction on this. This is just my understanding, but I've never sued anyone, so I don't know. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/325/#findComment-7881415
GeeGolly February 22, 2023 Share February 22, 2023 I suppose it matters how much she is suing for. Small claims requires no lawyer and just court fees. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/325/#findComment-7881442

Looks like it's more complicated than taking it to small claims court. 4 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/325/#findComment-7881498
