Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1332-3 Filed 01/08/24 Page 16 of 21 communications with Barden. Indeed, when a party voluntarily waives its work product privilege in an attempt to use her attorney’s work product to her advantage, the party must also produce all related documents, including drafts, e-mail communications relating to the work product, documents considered relating to the work product and any other materials created, received, used or considered relating in any way to Ms. Giuffre or this litigation, which is the very subject- matter of the disclosed work-product.
