Exactly, I am not expecting Blake Lively to be everyones therapist and help them through their trauma and “triggering”. Not sure why a former professional actor such as Brett Cooper expects Blake Lively to be an expert on DV and how to speak to people about their trauma when she is just an actor. I love Blake Lively and her husband is kind of dorky but he is like a puppy and I will continue to follow and watch them and not expect them to be my moral, emotional or psychological compasses. I also wouldnt look to them for advice on my hair, politics or privacy protection using my cell phone. They are just actors to me. If I wanted someone to get help with DV, I would send them to the renewed freedom center in LA. If they wanted hemp with their hair, I would send them to the best hair dresser I know of in Beverly Hills. If they wanted help with privacy and which cell phone service to use, I would send them to a cybersecurity specialist. If they wanted to better understand politics, I would ask them to look at the outcome of what is happening currently based on voting. I would not again look to Blake and Ryan for any of this. Blake & Ryan are a billionaire brand as a couple and they don’t have to do anything the way China thinks they should AKA tiktoks algorithm which is Chinese. They are American they promote American products and brands and Brett you are ignoring the Chinese influence here from TikTok promoting anti American brands, health and wellness. It is not Blakes place to be an expert on DV. Just because she plays a role doesnt make her an expert and the more people are tricked into seeing this film, the more anti-woman countries that play it the better since it will open up the conversation even more.
Actors don’t exist to me outside of the screen. They are wind-up toys, paid by me to perform. So wind up, perform, and entertain me. You cease to exist once the performance is over. Your personal life, your interests, your hobbies, your kids, your vacations, your addictions, your opinions about ANYTHING……..none of it registers. All irrelevant. They aren’t real people after the cameras stop rolling, in my eyes.
@@CountryAndProudI’m fine with AI becoming so advanced that we don’t need real celebs to act in anything. Perfectly fine with it. All movies would be made by talented AI-animation specialists. The humans can just stand in a booth and do the voices. And one day technology will be able to 100% perfectly recreate human voices too. I endorse it completely. It would be the ultimate demise of Hollywood, and that would be a great day for America and the rest of the world too.
I don’t understand why terms like sexual abuse and domestic violence are censored these days. If we’re too afraid to speak out and use the proper terminology, how do we properly raise awareness and find solutions?
People should take Ricky Gervais’ words seriously when he said to actors: "You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world"
@MFUA-cam683 You really think Brett would be brave enough to Debate Sam Seder, Her master Ben Shapiro refuses to Debate him so what makes you so sure that Brett Cooper would, I think you're being too optimistic buddy , Sam is most conservative commentators worst nightmare
I have no history of abuse at all and the book made me very very uncomfortable. It's an inconvenient truth that people face and the vapid hollywood elites act like it's a romcom
Justin is actually reacting in a way that makes him look very innocent. He isn’t trying to push a narrative, he isn’t trying to be a victim. He’s still speaking highly of everyone and is very professional. Basically he’s acting like someone that knows Blake and Ryan are going to hang themselves out to dry. And he’s right!
Kudos to Justin for behaving like a professional and not trying to trash anyone's reputation. I'm glad this is backfiring on B&R. They may be good looking, but they sure do like the gutter.
Blake saying that Justin fat shamed her isn’t even about fat shaming. He had a back problem and wanted to know her weight so that he could prepare to lift her. If anything it makes her look vain and selfish for thinking everything is an attack on her
She's a tall woman, of course she would weigh more than someone shorter. I wouldn't say she is big boned, but she's not delicate either. When I've seen ice skaters, the woman of the duo is often tiny while the man is large. That's just how it goes.
Your a Negative! Blake is the lead actress it does help make the film a success along with all her other fellow actors; Its a joint effort. Each actor in this film was amazing 💯💯💯💯💯💯 LOVED IT!!❤️
Justin Baldoni continues to be kind, magnanimous, humble, and gracious in the face of such bratty mean girl behavior. He’s the only one with any social awareness.
Let's not forget how she made mean "feminist" comments to a interviewers because she asked her about what she was wearing and now she won't stop talking about her flower dresses.
@@Mariet31 are we talking about the 2016 interview for that Woody Allen movie ? Because it was a while ago so we could argue that she changed her mind…no the best part is that she complains about the clothing question and right after she talks for minutes about the clothing with passion. Like why are you mad about the question when you recognize yourself that the clothes hold symbolism in the story and you’re interested about it. In that interview she just wanted to be mean to the poor interviewer. ( And acting like you care about women/feminism when you’re in a Woody Allen movie is so ironic )
Blake ATTACKED CATHERINE.. a woman with cancer who EVERYONE LOVES.. AND I CANT STAND BLAKE NOW.. MEAN, NASTY WOMAN.. Now we know who she is.. and not the side she shows us..
I think the real disconnect is that Justin is a filmmaker, while Ryan and Blake are business people. Justin takes the movie and its message seriously, while Blake and Ryan are treating the film like a product to sell
@@kreationsbykaze1105 There are different schools of thought to this. Some people believe that film is an art form, a transcendent medium that captures the human experience and/or reflects on society. Those are they type of films that appeal to critics, and are usually lauded at events like Cannes. Then there are the people who see movies as a business venture, and this is the bread and butter of Hollywood. There is room enough for both schools of thought within the same industry, but maybe not within the same movie 😅
That interviewer has ties to Justin so that's probably his PR teams response to her PR Teams accusation tbh I would toss both of those things out. Both are pretty petty doing that.
@mirachan9217 the interviewer has clearly stated she has no links to Justin and wasn't aware in detail of what had happened between Justin and Blake.
@@mirachan9217 she doesn’t have any ties with Justin, stop this bs, and even if she had how does it help with the situation? We clearly saw what kind of person she is, and she still hasn’t apologised
I’m not even joking when I say that I HAD NO IDEA this movie was about DV…I’ve seen so much press and it’s all been with Blake and not once has she mentioned the heart of the movie. Thank you for such a good in depth review of both sides because it definitely puts Hollywood into perspective.
I've had a problem with Blake since she made fun of Princess Kate on Instagram for disappearing. Two days later, Kate had cancer. Tens of thousands of comments forced her to apologize. She apologized to "all those who were offended" instead of apologizing to Kate. Arrogant, self-absorbed.
My opinion of Lively fell after her making fun of the absence of Catherine, the Princess of Wales, as well, especially when it was well known she had just had a stomach surgery, and her apology after it was revealed Catherine has cancer, was so disengenious 😢
For me it was when she wore Balenciaga 3 months after the huge scandal… even though she’s given speeches on the topic. A huge scandal about a topic she gave a passionate speech about? She was an advocate for children and a mother… yet 3 months after the disgusting scandal she wore Balenciaga and tagged them? A serious lack of moral consistency. That’s when i unfollowed her. 5 months ago.
I wasn’t impressed with her over that at all, but the dig up all things wrong isn’t cool. We all make mistakes when younger and it is insane bringing up decade old info to justify cancel culture. It is crazy watching all this.
Bingo! She is a Ryan wannabe where Ryan is being himself where as she is trying to copy him & keeps failing tremendously for she has no sense of natural humor
She's probably trying to be Ryan since she is mostly known nowadays as Ryan's Wife or Taylor's Friend since her fame fade away a long time ago in this new generation
i think maybe she was under pressure or triggerd as women playing this role and talking about it maybe hurt her in a way that her PR team decide to distance her a bit from topic to protect her, she is smart women and been in hollywood for a long time so there might be reason
never been a fan, never even watched a full episode of Gossip Girl it was that bad acting and storylines. She is an awful rotten person but you all only see the surface
May I also add that Blake used this movie to market her ALCOHOL COMPANY Betty Booze which sponsored all of the movie premieres and provided a specialized drink menu with one of the drinks being named “Ryle You Wait”…Ryle being the name of the abuser in the the film. She used her ALCOHOL COMPANY as a marketing strategy to promote a film about DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Alcohol is present in almost 90% of domestic abuse cases. In the book, Lily and Ryle drink wine one night to the point Lily doesn’t know if it was her being drunk or Ryle that pushes her to bang her head against the oven and black out. Did she not read the book?! That was the icing on the cake for me.
yes it was the last straw for me too! I also thought it was crazy how some tiktokers were asked to stop calling out Blake because something huge would come out and was going to depict her as a victim... but nothing came out (weight and kiss article). The thing is, for Colleen Hoover, the book has never been about DV. She said it herself, she doesn't write to educate but to entertain 🙄 and I can't believe Blake thought this was the right vision to follow! I mean, look at her interviews, her marketing circus around the movie, how delusional can these two be?!!Justin made his research and is a smart guy. He started working with No More before directing the movie and couldn't be unaware of the book's issues. I truly believe his intentions were genuine about the awareness he wanted to raise around DV. He just ended up pissing CoHo who wasn't aligned with him and gave Blake too much space. All of this allowed her to hijack his own movie! He got kicked out of a project he cared because of the Reynolds money and power play. This industry is disgusting and I think it got out of proportions because Blake is now the embodiment of how OUT OF TOUCH and unaware those huge celebrities are! She gave Jlo some rest 🤣
yeah this was quite possibly the craziest part that no one spoke about. her instagram bio was all about promoting her new alcohol company while justin's bio was about DV resources.
Oh for God's sake, it is not unheard of for people to serve their own brand of drink. She has a line of alcoholic ready to use drinks, and a line of non alcoholic drinks as well. This is a common thing to do in Hollywood. You are making a mountain out of a molehill. George Clooney did it with his tequila. Michael Jordan did it with his own tequila. Jay Z did it with his cognac. Grow up.
@@jeannawalton8107 I can see your point and would agree if she didn't claim she doesn't drink because she doesn't like the effects of alcohol. When she launched an alcoholic line some had already held that against her but she missed the mark when she chose to promote that line over the other for this specific premiere. And the issue is the lack of integrity and awareness overall. She was very vocal about her vision and creative inputs for the movie which exposed her completely and with this shitshow of a promo she showed how totally disconnected she and her vision are. She took the project of someone who was making the movie with purpose and understanding of the situation for what?! I think they (Blake and Sony) completely miscalculated how controversial the book was in the first place, and really didn't expect the backlash the movie would cause if they stayed so aligned and in tune with Colleen Hoover. Also, everyone knew it was Baldoni's project and the guy accumulated quite a fair amount of goodwill over the past. Now she needs to touch grass for a bit.. to see if she's able to get back to the real world, because with this air head of hers, she went way too high!
I did notice how differently Blake and Justin are promoting the movie. With her it’s all about her brands, her clothes, styling and jewlery. With him it’s all about the subject domestic violence.
I don't think Justin did ANYTHING wrong. I believe she (and her husband) had creative differences with Justin which resulted in her (and her husband) trying to hijack the movie. She played the mean girl role and made it a 'It's him or me.' thing with the rest of the cast & crew. The people siding with her did so because they believed it was strategically in their best interests to do so. So when it became clear that she is losing the PR battle (because the peasants are smart and intuitive enough to actually see the truth of the matter), she is tries to use the "Me too" movement to WIN. She is gross. You gotta know that the behaviors recently outed are just the tip of the iceberg.
Yeah it's okay to talk about my hair but no about my body.. what's your point? Women are allowed to change the subject any time we want if we don't like the topic we are being asked to participate in.. get over yourselves.
@maudefindlay3949 I am a woman and they were not talking about Blake's body but that she was pregnant and she had already announced her pregnancy. What Blake did was then congratulate the female reporter on her pregnancy but the reporter was not pregnant and to make it worse can't have children. There is no excuse to want publicity for your movie by wanting to sit with a reporter but then deciding to be rude. Perhaps Blake is not cut out for any interviews. After all, Blake is the one who put her money into making this movie and the reporter is not making any money whether people see the movie or not. Ryan makes a better guest and interviewee and unfortunately Blake seems to want to imitate Ryan but of course she can't. Maybe the real her is rude to people she feels nothing for like her fans.
@@orphanedhanyou Most do. Baldoni chose not to which is what we are talking about here. Lively is promoting herself. She just tanked her career for a while .... maybe forever. People are seeing who she really is and they don't like it.
That's what's bugging me so much, he tried to take a step back and let her lead because he knew it was important to have a woman be in the decision making and then finds out the same time as everyone else that they went behind his back and let her husband who is known for comedy movies and writing, when this is a serious and emotional movie, rewrite some of the scenes. That is truly disrespectful. It doesn't matter if you paid for most of it he is still the director, among other things, and is a big part of this. They could've talked with him about it, but they knew it was wrong, hence why they went out of their way to not tell him. Says a lot about them tbh.
@mrp2301 I'm not trying to be rude, just answering your question from my perspective. It's disrespectful to him because, like I said, he is a main person on this project and put passion and effort into it to tell a story about a woman going through abuse. And almost every interview he dives deep into what that entails and brings light to the main point of the movie, which Blake herself hasn't even done, btw. He acknowledges that although he had a big role, it isn't about him but about women who go through this. He is respectful and pushes the talking point back to women, which he should do to promote it, and just because he is a man doesn't mean he can't be supportive. It's disrespectful because he took a step back specifically to let a woman take over a topic about abuse for women, and instead, she brought her husband to do it behind his back. They could at least talk to him about it since he is the director. It is disrespectful not to be notified about these changes until the general public does. Sorry this is long, I hope I answered it in a non aggressive light.
@fandomlove6607 Although I'm just joining the conversation, I felt you explained it all well. I was unaware it was done behind Justin's back. I read one article that said without Ryan Reynolds's help, the movie would have bombed.
What's interesting is that while the cast is choosing Blake,😮 the CREW, the ENTIRE CREW, made up of regular people who have had to deal with all the actors on this set, and who know where the bodies are buried, support Justin. That speaks volumes to me.
It's just ironic how the abuser in the movie promoted it for what it is (DV) better than the author herself and Blake who are making the movie feel like a romcom with all the dresses and nail polish.
While I like Colleen hoover books...it does become glaringly obvious that she has personal issues. Every single one of her male leads in her books are toxic except Atlas. And those stories *are* intended as romance novels. It ends with us wasn't supposed to be, supposedly she based it on her mom's experience with her father...which would explain why she is a little messed up. I'm not saying that to shame her...just think she very clearly needs a good therapist.
@@susanlisson7066that’s honestly so sad and i don’t blame you. lots of people who don’t know what the book is about think it’s a rom com. i was so confused when i saw all the posters and trailers i was so confused because it didn’t look like a movie about DV. and it doesn’t help that they cover up the true message with flowers and videos of blake lively making cookies from the movie instead of actually sitting down and talking about the true message of the book and movie
We need to stop treating actors like they have answered a religious call to minister to our souls. For the most part, they live debauched, self-centered, and immoral lifestyles. They are not to be admired.
I agree completely!! I have always found it so extremely weird as well as extremely awkward and almost even sad, the way people basically worship celebrities and other "famous" people of all walks. Sure, find inspiration and aspire to be able to get to a place in your own life, that you are able to live like that too. Or whatever, however you want to say it. But don't put these people on such high pedestals. Treating them like they are somehow better or more important than everyone and everyone else just because they happened to find fame with whatever particular talents they possess. It's weird, and quite silly. I don't mean to say we shouldn't celebrate those of us whom truly do seem to extraordinary in their particular niches, but rather to remember at the end of the day, they are still just another Human being, living on earth like the rest of us.
@@WhatTheWHAT524Agree, I’m 40 and still wonder how so many people admire and get attached to celebrities so much and forget their just entertainers. No one really knows them
She’s promoting this like it’s a Rom-Com when it’s not. She has the AUDACITY to promote her hair, nail and ALCOHOL business!! ALCOHOL!!! Around a movie about DV!!! Wtf!!!
What?? Promoted her alcohol company at the same time as this? Blake Lively could not be more gross. She does not deserve the platform on this issue. She clearly doesn't have a f'ing clue which shows how much empathy she lacks. Women die while this shallow dumb blonde Blake Lively promotes her little movie and her alcohol and hair care. And how much of that hair care has Blake donated to women escaping violence???
I was disgusted with her when she mocked HEH Catherine Princess of Wales, a mother of three who was at the time fighting for her life with chemo due to her serious cancer diagnosis. Blake’s a jerk IMO.
Just remember, people like Blake Lively and Ryan Rhynolds are actors. They are very good at being charming while hiding their inner narcissist. Once in a while these people slip up and we see the narcissist revealed. The fact that you are sooooo insecure that an actor taking care of his health and safety is triggering says volumes.
Yep, we just see a small part of their lives that they want us to see. And to be fair, there's a lot of weird shit going on in Hollywood and most of these people are in on it.
I’ve always got a weird vibe from Ryan too honestly. Even though I have no evidence that he’s a bad guy, he seems like that person you meet that everyone else loves but you get bad vibes from and then eventually turns out to be an asshole
NO No It is NOT triggering She's trying to play victim but that is NOT the same thing - triggering is a real word that psychologists use to have a specific meaning and everybody claiming to be "triggered" at everything completely detracts from that meaning
Crazy that she's treating the whole movie promo as her own personal fashion show, yet when that interviewer in 2016 kindly asked her about clothing, she was so rude and sarcastic about it.
You really gotta respect actors like Justin here (or Penn Badgley in You) where they’re concerned about the audience and genuinely saying “Please do not romanticize this character”
I think Hollywood actors have finally understood that people have been doing that for bad characters for so long that now with the mental health crisis and other issues actors who now portray villains are trying to make sure people really understand to not romanticize those villains anymore
@@criscabrera9098 People? You mean women. There is a reason serial killers received thousand of letters while in jail, also there is a show call "love behind bars" basically a show about people, most of the time women, that fell in love with inmates. stereotypes exists for a reason, women love bad boys specially at young age. Trust me, the concern is not about mental health but women being taking advantage of
The way Blake answered the question about abused people coming to her was absolutely abhorrent and disgusting. She basically laughed at the subject she should be utterly ashamed of herself.
Why should these people be coming to Blake at all? She is not a therapist and doesn't want to be one. It would be like people asking RDJ jr about weapons manufacturing for the government. People need to separate actors from the roles they play.
@@TheDegobunny it’s just a question in which she chose to answer disrespectfully. While I agree that people need to separate themselves from actors the sad reality is they don’t and go as far as worshiping these people. She should take it more seriously given her platform.
I think that's why she's so mean. Deep down knowing that and being incredibly insecure, it's the only reason I can think someone so fortunate would be such an arsewipe.
So clear from interviews that Justin is humble and pointing to the hope that is out there for domestic violence survivors and that they can get out of their dangerous situation. It is so clear that he has a true appreciation for the key points of story. Seems that the others are stuck on themselves. I'm glad everyone is seeing this and questioning the selfishness of the others involved with the film. Hopefully this is a good learning experience for the selfish ones and they learn to treat such a serious topic with appropriate respect and dignity. We all have to learn things the hard way sometimes and I sure hope they can adjust their attitudes.
Agreed, but it got people in the door. 2nd week is going to have a major drop as it goes from being a date movie to a chick flick. The rewrite ruined awards chances but probably contributed to the movie trailer that fed 1st weekend results. Feel sorry for Justin, the movie's legacy would have been better with an award.
It's feminist lefty mental gymnastics. Same thing lefties do with religion. They will mock it in one hand, while loving the "religion of pieces". They will will want to defund the police, while making proven violent criminals saints. Just shows the left is nothing more than mental disorders and hypocrisy now.
I hope Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni would make amends. They are both good actors and the drama isn’t really helping the movie and what it stands for.
@@keyboardrider7506 According to Box Office Mojo, the top five romcoms are 1) My Big Fat Greek Wedding, 2) What Women Want, 3) Hitch, 4) Pretty Woman and 5) There's Something About Mary.
Yes, I did not like the book. Yes, I laughed at the casting when it came out. But I will say the only good thing to come out from this movie was Justin Baldoni’s involvement and genuine care for DV survivors potentially watching.
Agreed. Legit you spoke my thoughts. Justin is carrying this movie's success on his back at this point. Love everything he's done so far during promotions for this film.
The irony is that even though this movie is supposed to be shining a light on this problem, Brett can't even say the word ab*se or ab*ser(without being bleeped/censored) and that people have to use an acronym for d***stic vi****ce. It's just like the word su*cide. If we can't remove the stigma of the word, how are we going to solve the problem.
well to give you my genuine opinion mind you i completely understand what you’re saying and you sound very intelligent, i haven’t been through dv personally (im only 17) but um my cousin who was 19 actually committed last year and words like that do actually trigger me. in the sense of v depressive thoughts heavy anxiety and sometimes anxiety and panic attacks etc. in conclusion to give my opinion based off experience, i think its pretty tough to hear that stuff so soon still heavily going through that pain and healing process. also the younger you are it can definitely make things more difficult. however I’ve met people that haven’t been through anything of the sort and they claim that their “triggered” by certain things like this, and it does really bother me because there’s really no point when you don’t know that pain firsthand.
It's not about stigma. It's about classifying content for advertisers. UA-cam (Google) has options for advertisers to select content they want to exclude their ads from, like mature content, sensitive topics, etc. It only matters if you want your videos to make money, it's not censorship.
@@jisu222 If you don't bleep anything, youtube has certain words it will flag which gives you less ads and doesn't promote your channel as much. It's not impossible to have a channel. But it becomes way harder to monetize. Even comments get removed for having words or names that have negative conotation
@@taytortott she justified her behavior at the interview saying she does not like that reporters talk to actors/actresses like they know them. So.. not that it makes things right, but at least she gave a reason
Agreed. I never liked Blake but I love Ryan. As a teenager she always came off this way. I'm also a dv survivor. I'm so hurt and offended that she isn't taking it seriously.
I agree. I'll be damned if ya'll see me lining up at the cinema to pay for this. Worse case, I'll torent it from a friend so I don't even support the illegal watch parties. She's insufferable and I'm shocked we didn't see this earlier!
i think Blake thinks she is funny, or is trying to be, like her Husband, but she doesn't realize that she isn't remotely funny. her charm comes from other avenues, and humor isn't one of them.
Great point. I've actually only really seen her in productions, not interviews- I was surprised that she comes across as sort of unlikeable in interviews. At least, to me.
So I’m not the only one who finds them both super bland? I seriously don’t know why they’re this famous. Mostly garbage movies and generic acting. And yes they’re so not funny especially her husband who’s always trying too hard to be funny. Like just give it up, man! And they’re both friends with Regina George aka Taylor Swift…
@@CeeC_CeeC I thought I was the only one who saw through Ryan Reynolds!! He isn't that decent of an actor as he was lame in everything I have ever seen him in the past. God bless the day he got cast as Deadpool because he is literally just playing himself. There is no need for him to actually act!! I really don't get why he is so popular when better actors such as Bradley Cooper and John Krasinski often gets overlooked.
You may be onto something there. Wife of beloved comedy actor wants people to see her as funny. She goes too far with her quips. Gotta read the room, though, not everything is appropriate at all times.
He's absolutely right. I was an actor in domestic violence awareness presentations, and it was the worst I've ever felt, especially seeing victims of DV in the audience and sometimes having them tell me they lived the exact scene we portrayed. The idea of being able to be jovial about marketing a project like this baffles me, almost as if she and her squad aren't taking such a serious subject seriously. I'm glad Justin understands the gravity of the subject matter.
I’m glad you came out with this. I was absolutely clueless and out the loop on the Blake drama. Thank you for explaining. He seems to have integrity that has not been jaded by Hollywood. Let’s hope that never happens. I think that he chose wisely to remove himself far from the madding crowd. Somebody needs to tell Blake that the cutesy retorts when in front of a Mike are not appropriate anymore. She is old enough to to know that this needs a different approach to such a serious film.
I never realized how annoying her voice is. I HATE how she responded to the question about people wanting to talk to her about the movie. That's disgusting
She doesn't seem to like "little people" and recoiled immediately at the thought of being approached by them. Especially victims of DV, they are broken people who should not approach her altar of perfection.
@@PS-qn4oz And yeah abuse victims approaching her and thanking her for this film would get treated like vermin probably. It’s Justin who cares about victims. Blake hired comedy writers and try to literally make it into a comedy but her cut didn’t win at the audience test.
If Justin Baldoni was so awful and abusive as director then the cast should be open and calling him out. Period. The fact that it’s more of a high school aligning with the popular kids, Blake & Ryan and their BFF Hugh Jackman, promoting their own stuff, shows that it’s NOT a big deal. If it’s so bad you’re ostracizing this man, then SPEAK UP!! Otherwise it’s incredibly unprofessional. And especially of Colleen Hoover. She clearly allowed herself to be wooed by Blake & Ryan. I’ve lost respect for all of them except Justin.
I don't think Justin did ANYTHING wrong. I believe she (and her husband) had creative differences with Justin which resulted in her (and her husband) trying to hijack the movie.

@@renata_navarro They also said the same thing about Harvey Weinstein, Corey Feldman was shut down by Barbra Walters when he spoke out decades ago and look what they did to Courtney Love and Rose McGowan and any female that said no to him, all of this against Blake is because she said the word "Tranny" 10 YEARS AGO.
It honestly depends on person i think. Like when u read the book, and script defers or changes character narrative, u have a pre made image in your head of the script which may affect your performance style when u're used to the script work. Like when tom holland in mcu was told to cry as if it were a wedding but it was a funeral and the acting was top notch. So, they're used to a certain pattern to do their best. If the pattern of them acting or being instructed is changed by giving them a indepth construct of the character, it could potentially hamper performer. Imagine trying to act out the emotions of - Her laugh symbolised both happiness at being being able to........ And then just being told to cry softly with a smile like saying goodbye for 10 years. It makes a difference in internal perspective.
Booktube, a place that loved Coolleen Hoover so much, in October 2022 all they could talk about over there was It Starts With Us, the sequel to this thing I guess, decided at some point in 2023 that they hated her and wanted her to never be brought up again outside of a negative context.
Seriously i was traumatized. I thought it was a rom com. This movie needed a warning l. And it needed a more responsible and serious approach to PR and to advocate for the real issues this book and movie were exposing. Only Justin has done an admirable job. All his movies tend to be about social issues and this vain mean girl vibe Lively is giving only withers the real meaning behind this book and project. 14:43
Blake dropped the ball badly and possibly ruined the emotional range of the movie with her flighty uninterested response to helping women who are barely surviving with DV.
Yes, they are absolute cringe and the way they are publicly to each other with like their "flirty" (but actually super mean) little like public quips and shit. The attention seeking Makes me wanna vomit. Just exactly what you said performative fake yuck
Always have. It’s sad bc I’ve seen Blake take serious issues to heart and speak on it, and it was beautiful. I really wonder what’s going on with her lately.
14:14 Blake Lively telling the rest of the world “don’t you dare approach me if you see me on the street, I don’t really ever care about your DV story, please understand this movie for me was about elevating my star status, promoting my hair care brand and smugly talking about my Uber famous husband. I’m Hollywood royalty you know.” As a past DV victim her tone has totally been triggering.
Thanks. If it hadn't been for the comments section, I would've had no idea how her answer connected to the question. Well, it doesn't connect at all, but now I understand that she regards herself too far above the rest of us rabble to even give a straight answer to a legitimate question.
You know what is interesting about this is that Blake used to be outspoken about her support in combatting child sexual abuse, child p*rn, and trafficking. She is no stranger to tackling hard topics. I am not sure why it is so different this time around. It reminds me a lot of the Ashton Kutcher / Mila Kunis situation.
I think she is probably medicated to deal with exhaustion with all those damn kids. Liquors. Hair care companies. She is probably on a lot of uppers and birth control😂 At the end of the day. She is a Hollywood person. Not normal. And definitely not all of these ladies therapist. How lucky are we as a society that people can get so worked up about a movie. Meanwhile 88 k little ones are missing and crickets. Adults can take care of themselves. It's our job to protect keeds. Sorry. I'm not very empathetic for Hollywood. Just curious what was going on with this story... Brett is wrong on this one... you didn't have money to hire Meryl streep. You hired a b rated actress. An old man once told me the worst ship to be on is a partnership! Sounds like they're bad partners and both hold fault.
@@saadiakhan7524 Dude I cringed out of my skin when she said that. It's like when a celebrity gets detached and self-centered in a cartoon except it's real life. 😭
Some people just aren't good at being vulnerable or being authentic with strangers. Turns out Blake is one of them. Not that she isn't this way with close friends. She shouldn't have done a movie with such serious themes because it seems that she can't really be serious as a "persona," which makes sense since her and her husband are known to be fun-loving, easy going and sarcastic, and that just doesn't mix with serious DV discussions.
The “fat shaming” is just hilarious. Blake lively is my height (almost 5’11”) so naturally we weigh more than the average woman. I’m 145lbs at my leanest, and would imagine Blake is likely around 130-140lbs. Even with a woman of normal height, asking the weight of someone you’re about to lift when you have back problems isn’t fat shaming, it’s literally just trying to not hurt yourself 😅
I'm 5'7 and 105 lbs. It wouldn't offend me if he asked the safest way to pick me up without injuring his back. Blake just wanted to make him look bad, and it appears to have backfired on her.
@@JA-ur8cx this is what I think. No shame at all, but she is super tall and doesn't exactly have a delicate frame (you can tell because of how different the Britney dress looks on her). I would say at least 150
i lost respect for blake when i watched an interview of her from a few years ago. the interviewer said, "congratulations on your little bump!" (blake was pregnant), & blake SO RUDELY replied, "ohh congratulations on YOUR little bump!!" & then proceeded to talk to her friend sitting next to her & pretending the interviewer wasn't there. the interviewer looks so embarrassed & sad.. it was awful. blake is a "mean girl".
@@kjeksklaus7944 had no right to congratulate her on being pregnant? please. that's ridiculous. no one in their right mind would blame an interviewer for congratulating someone on being pregnant.
@@kjeksklaus7944 Blake publicly confirmed she was pregnant a day or two before that interview so it was absolutely appropriate to congratulate her. So people are correctly placing the blame where it needs to go, on Blake.
Not to mention the poor interviewer was struggling with infertility and I’m sure would have given anything to have an actual little bump of her own so that was extra painful.
In my opinion, I didn't see anything wrong with what the interviewer said.. I have been pregnant three times and would never find that offensive. I guess to each their own.
I’m not a fan of Ryan Reynolds or Blake for that matter. She is over rated as an actor. But their whole media persona “oh we are so funny”, “we don’t take ourselves too serious”…. She’s trying to be funny and it’s coming off so out of touch and tone deaf. She is a self absorbed celebrity who’s learning in real time how out of touch she is and how many people are finding her annoying.
I was a huge fan till I ran into them in person in Vancouver. Holy crap Ryan either hates the concept of peace or got skeletons where he can tolerate Blake and what sounds like an endless stream of madness. My only hope for their kids is now they got the nanny 24/7 yikes. I went from maybe try to approach to let's not even know who they are real quick. I am thankfully not used to my friends constantly projecting the vibes of a major domestic situation erupting at any moment.
Agree. He’s not a very good actor but he’s hilarious in Deadpool. She was pretty good in A simple plan but probably playing a character close to her personality. 🤣
She lost me as a fan when she heartlessly went after princess Catherine, who was undergoing cancer diagnosis and treatment. Blake showed she is just a juvenile mean girl.
@@melissabishop2982 Because that whole group is the epitome of a mean girl. Tylor gives off the same vibe, she just hides it better, watch her not say a word to defend her best friend.
I love Justin. I may not be 100% accurate but since he transitioned to directing and producing he does movies for people. Specific people. Still can't forget five feet apart.
Perception is key.. but please do tell women how we should handle our topics that affect us. Perhaps if men would stop being so "shady" and downright violent then none of this would have been a topic in the first place. Scapegoating women for how we handle it is just another form of abuse. STOP IT! And in reality there is no such thing as Princesses ..which is it you want her to accept fairy tales or not..make up your mind because you sound confused.
I remember that. She's sick. Someone should have told Prince William that BL and T Swift are best friends before he took his kids to the Swift concert and brought them backstage later. After all the trouble the royal family endures from that Markle woman, he doesn't realize that Swift and Lively are just as bad.
Someone should have told Prince William that Lively and T Swift are best friends before he brought his kids to that concert and backstage afterwards. After the abuse that whole family has taken from Markle, you'd think he could tell that Swift and Lively are the same pernicious species that she is.
well they don't care, you're watching it and talking about it - also sad for the kids who will grow up to be an ahole like Blake and Ryan, Ryan is just as much one
I recently watched another interview this one lady had with Blake and it was ATROCIOUS. It was titled something like “This Blake Lively interview almost made me quit me job”. It was nasty mean girl behavior and she showed who she really is
I saw that interview. Blake and Parker Posey were horrid creatures to that journalist. I felt so bad for her. Blake and Parker just kept going on and on and did not even look at the journalist.
@@Malum09exactly! We probably won’t see them together now for a while…. Or maybe Taylor will bring her back and try to get her *cough* cult *cough* to give her some good pr
18:33 The "fat shaming" thing. He literally asked how much she weighed because HE HAS BACK PROBLEM. Asking for her weight is not fat shaming, it's ensuring both he AND Blake are safe on set while she is in the air. Take it from a theatre angle. When we have a show that has flight, we need to know an actor's weight. We need at LEAST 2x the actor's weight on the backend. Why? So the rope holders aren't straining under someone's weight because the actor lied about it. You don't want the people holding you up straining. They literally have your life in their hands. If you lie about your weight when you're in flight, you could either get injured, sustain lifelong injuries, or die. You could do the same for the people who are also holding you up. That's literally it. I say this as someone who has had body image issues and been fat shamed - the responsible thing to do in a situation like this is to ask for your costar's weight. Especially if you have a history of back problems. Blake has an issue with him asking for her weight. She probably would've had an issue with him dropping her if he didn't do the responsible thing and ask for her weight. There's no winning. I like to say - if you're in a scene and your feet aren't on the ground - you need to get comfortable with the fact that you might need to disclose your weight.
That's EXACTLY what I told my girlfriend! She's a DIEHARD Blake Lively fan, and she doesn't idolize ANYBODY else, she's just always had a HUGE thing for Lively, and this has been CRUSHING her. I really believe this and told her that too, and that I THINK Lively wanted some light-hearted crossover promotion for her and her husband ever since having the notoriety of a couple in tinsel town receiving two of the highest grossing box office successes, just.. as a couple (as mentioned in the video).
That makes me think. What is the difference with Barbenheimer to this then. I mean both would be about real horrible situations, along with a light comedy. Maybe it's the way the cast treats the darker movie
She was offended by the “bump” comment because she’s well known for her physical beauty. Instead of taking the compliment (or comment depending on how you see it) with grace, she chose to show her true colors.
HER BODY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER ACTING OR HER MOVIES. ARE WE REALLY STILL HAVING THIS ABSURD CONVERSATION ABOUT WHY WOMEN DONT HAVE TO BE NICE WHEN WE ARE BEING EXPLOITED FOR NO REASON?
@@maudefindlay3949 Exploited: Verb - past tense: exploited; past participle: exploited /ikˈsploit/ benefit unfairly from the work of (someone), *typically by overworking or underpaying them* "making money does not always mean exploiting others" Words matter. A woman trying to compliment/acknowledge another woman’s pregnancy, to then be bullied by the woman she was trying to compliment who is in a much better off situation (married to a multimillionaire) and who is in the power position. I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
@@1lessaname too bad it went over your head that the ‘money’ is actually the film companies and she should be endorsing the film or themes related to it and not her own PRIVATE business 🙄
I don’t understand why people put Blake and Ryan on a pedestal to begin with? the whole we’re so funny & reletable act was never convincing, and she literally broke his marriage with Scarlet Jo- but everyone looks over that because they’re a power couple. Blake has been rude her whole career, and she got her husband to buy her a possible oscar nom (hilarious) and when it didn’t go her way she tried to make justin the villian. Blake will never be that girl because she’s a bully.
Yes! Glad to see this. So many people gloss over this in MANY celebrity relationships and then act surprised when things like this or worse come out. Clearly neither one of these people (Ryan and Blake ) have any shame.
Blake has also been seemingly trying to have a "Barbie moment" by wearing floral outfits during the promotional tour to tie in with her character's surname of Bloom! She couldn't be more tone deaf, the movie is about DV!
I was already over Blake Lively, but now I simply cannot stand her. The vanity, the lack of humility, the assumptions that everything revolves around her and everyone wants to be her is disgraceful. And she’s supposed be a feminist?! Maybe she needs to take a deep dive into what that means, and what it really means to take on a role of a DV victim. On another note, I’m extremely impressed with how Justin has handled this whole film, including press.
@sebastiananthony5442 I'm 31 I could easily pass as a late teen/early 20's..that's really not that far fetched when you actually look a lot younger than you are 🤷🏾♀️..lol!!
@@EdenMB-w3x Oh, so EVERYONE who has ever met me & didn't know how old I was, was just lying..even the kids & teenagers themselves who have told me..👌🏾😆!!
Is her being a feminist explained exactly why she is the way she is. I didn't realize she was that bad of a person. Feminists hate women but are very good manipulators of women.
As someone myself who lived with dv for 14 years and narrowly escaped him killing me, her behavior is abhorrent. She is ignorant and cruel. I’m thankful God got me and my children out before he ended my life and knowing there are many others who don’t get that chance or are still living that hell this infuriates me the way she is acting about this. Justin has the right attitude about it. Classy, compassionate and respectful. She is disrespectful and another reason I’m so tired of hollywood. We make these ppl rich by supporting their work and they treat us like garbage.
our real sin is that we like entertainment, that's why we give a stage to these celebrities, but the good part is that no one is no longer putting up with every shit they do, as they say: celebrities are not untouchable
Thank the Lord that you and your children survived, you showed amazing strength. God bless you. ❤️ My mother was murdered by her abusive partner 5 years ago.
I'm so glad that you are out of that situation. That must have been very traumatic for you. I wish you peace and healthy love for now and the future 💖🙏.
Blake belittling violence is horrendous. Victims take a long time, if not a lifetime, to recover from something like this. Shame she is focusing on something else.
Justin’s sincere remarks about this movie being about the abuses going on in relationships and how it effected him emotionally, made me want to see the movie.
releasing that fake photo was so bizarre. she could've simply told people what was going on, or just not released a weird fake picture that she then pretended was real
Who would've thought Hollywood's Sweetheart would fall this low? I loved Justin in Jane the Virgin and I'm glad he's handling all of this with such grace.
Blake always was just Ryan Reynolds wife 😂 and just that, until this movie where she kinda had creative control with her husband and decided to take the wrong movie to mess with, exactly this kind of topic you want it to be a rom-com instead of something serious, she always was a bully, out of touch with reality but only now people see her for real 😂
The strategy is if you can’t talk about it it doesn’t exist. It starts with small things but eventually you won’t be able to talk about anything negative therefore soon enough you won’t know what’s going on around you, you will be an innocent naive sitting duck.
I don’t see why someone who went through something like this would want to go out of their way to see this movie. I personally don’t plan on putting myself through that…
I think she’s promoting it as a chick flick to get a bigger audience. I think she’s using that as a hook and doesn’t want to give away it’s about dv. Such a deceitful way to get more ppl through the theater doors.
Exactly. It’s interesting how many people are surprised by this. Both Ryan and Blake are shrewd business people and they own multiple businesses worth millions. They approached this movie as any other business venture and chose the strategy that would make them more money. They are just simply promoting all of their projects in a way that can brings them the highest financial gains.
I did not watch the trailer. I don't really watch any movies besides action and from what I thought I thought this was going to be a comedy romance I heard it wasn't...❤@@rationalcynic8416
Thanks for covering this Brett. I keep seeing stuff show up in my feed and was like what is happening here? I know I've had plenty of times where I have stuck my foot in my mouth or just acted a certain way cuz I thought it was funny but now I look back and groan. I'm hoping that is the case here. I'm also wondering if so many more ppl are aware and considerate of such sensitive topics so even having a casual attitude during press tours now is like wow, not cool. I think back to movies I grew up with in 90s when DV and SA was like the punch lines of the movies. Times have changed
I think Blake wants this to be this year's "Barbenheimer", with the new Deadpool movie, but instead of realizing that her movie would be the "Oppenheimer" in this sense, she tries to make it the "Barbie", which would actually be the Deadpool movie...
I would have loved to see Blake and Ryan lean into the Barbenheimer vibe but having Ryan covering the “Barbie” and Blake covering something of greater emotional depth. That really would have been the winning combination.
*1000% AGREE!* I loved her growing up. I’m not a big celebrity follower because I tend to not want to know what they think when they are allowed to talk freely (Rachel Ziegler anyone). Basically using “don’t meet your heroes” in a don’t follow them on social media way. I lost respect for many famous people Because I made the mistake of following them on social and watching them become social justice drones. The Princess of Wales did literally nothing to deserve being made a joke for the amusement of rich social drone
I completely agree. Blake bullied a fellow mom recovering from a serious surgery. She had no issues using Princess Catherine's name to make fun of her but didn’t mention Princess Catherine's name in her apology...absolutely disgusting
15:38 she said what she said, and if you listen closely, she’s telling us she doesn’t care about domestic violence victims. She can’t relate so she doesn’t care
Yeah I agree. That's the thing. It's like she is completely dissociating/disconnecting by using humour. Not from experienced trauma but because she has no personal experience so it's not relatable for her at all. And that's very unfortunate considering the seriousness of the topic. She should have been more elegant and serious and used the opportunity to connect with victims and bring awareness.
She's trying hard to be Ryan Reynolds but she's just mean, not funny. She's one of those women who don't have very many women friends, she tries too hard to to be a guy. Comes off poorly. Very self-centered.

Exactly, I am not expecting Blake Lively to be everyones therapist and help them through their trauma and “triggering”. Not sure why a former professional actor such as Brett Cooper expects Blake Lively to be an expert on DV and how to speak to people about their trauma when she is just an actor. I love Blake Lively and her husband is kind of dorky but he is like a puppy and I will continue to follow and watch them and not expect them to be my moral, emotional or psychological compasses. I also wouldnt look to them for advice on my hair, politics or privacy protection using my cell phone. They are just actors to me. If I wanted someone to get help with DV, I would send them to the renewed freedom center in LA. If they wanted hemp with their hair, I would send them to the best hair dresser I know of in Beverly Hills. If they wanted help with privacy and which cell phone service to use, I would send them to a cybersecurity specialist. If they wanted to better understand politics, I would ask them to look at the outcome of what is happening currently based on voting. I would not again look to Blake and Ryan for any of this. Blake & Ryan are a billionaire brand as a couple and they don’t have to do anything the way China thinks they should AKA tiktoks algorithm which is Chinese. They are American they promote American products and brands and Brett you are ignoring the Chinese influence here from TikTok promoting anti American brands, health and wellness. It is not Blakes place to be an expert on DV. Just because she plays a role doesnt make her an expert and the more people are tricked into seeing this film, the more anti-woman countries that play it the better since it will open up the conversation even more.
They are characters and I believe people tend to forget the person they hear and see isn’t the real person..
exactly my point
I believe Brett is falling for a bit of idiotic group thinking
We shouldn’t be idolizing celebrities period.
Actors don’t exist to me outside of the screen. They are wind-up toys, paid by me to perform. So wind up, perform, and entertain me. You cease to exist once the performance is over. Your personal life, your interests, your hobbies, your kids, your vacations, your addictions, your opinions about ANYTHING……..none of it registers. All irrelevant. They aren’t real people after the cameras stop rolling, in my eyes.
People don't listen 😢

It would be the ultimate demise of Hollywood, and that would be a great day for America and the rest of the world too.
I don’t understand why terms like sexual abuse and domestic violence are censored these days. If we’re too afraid to speak out and use the proper terminology, how do we properly raise awareness and find solutions?
Yes especially since "gender based violence" is very.... incorrect. DV is essentially perpetrated at equal rates by men and women.

Justin is actually reacting in a way that makes him look very innocent. He isn’t trying to push a narrative, he isn’t trying to be a victim. He’s still speaking highly of everyone and is very professional. Basically he’s acting like someone that knows Blake and Ryan are going to hang themselves out to dry. And he’s right!
💯💯
Kudos to Justin for behaving like a professional and not trying to trash anyone's reputation. I'm glad this is backfiring on B&R. They may be good looking, but they sure do like the gutter.
He's right about what, based on what you said he is not pushing a narrative. Sale and promote the movie it is doing good that's the job?

@@Angel_Auraaexactly. I feel bad for him, it was a passion project for him and it’s been turned into a nightmare for him
Blake saying that Justin fat shamed her isn’t even about fat shaming. He had a back problem and wanted to know her weight so that he could prepare to lift her. If anything it makes her look vain and selfish for thinking everything is an attack on her
She is an extremely vain woman! Not that vanity is a crime…
La Lively voleva passare per vittima perché non sa più cosa inventarsi dopo le brutte figure che sta facendo a livello mondiale
She needs to educate herself on back pain that is nerve pain and nothing can help you its not regular pain it eats you inside
She's a tall woman, of course she would weigh more than someone shorter. I wouldn't say she is big boned, but she's not delicate either. When I've seen ice skaters, the woman of the duo is often tiny while the man is large. That's just how it goes.
Exactly!!!!
Blake wasn't promoting the film, she was promoting herself, and her husband. I didn't hear any comments about the actual movie.

@@Mariet31 are we talking about the 2016 interview for that Woody Allen movie ? Because it was a while ago so we could argue that she changed her mind…no the best part is that she complains about the clothing question and right after she talks for minutes about the clothing with passion. Like why are you mad about the question when you recognize yourself that the clothes hold symbolism in the story and you’re interested about it. In that interview she just wanted to be mean to the poor interviewer. ( And acting like you care about women/feminism when you’re in a Woody Allen movie is so ironic )
Blake ATTACKED CATHERINE.. a woman with cancer who EVERYONE LOVES.. AND I CANT STAND BLAKE NOW.. MEAN, NASTY WOMAN.. Now we know who she is.. and not the side she shows us..
I think the real disconnect is that Justin is a filmmaker, while Ryan and Blake are business people. Justin takes the movie and its message seriously, while Blake and Ryan are treating the film like a product to sell

I don't think Blake is downplaying DV on purpose
This coment is criminally underrated
Its a fictional movie, so by definition it is a product to sell
@@kreationsbykaze1105 There are different schools of thought to this.

Then there are the people who see movies as a business venture, and this is the bread and butter of Hollywood.

Exactly.😊 And the pair disrupted the producer and director I believe😮
The fact that she plays the fat-shaming card, and now an old interview surfaces where she does fat-shaming herself, is pure art.

I’m not even joking when I say that I HAD NO IDEA this movie was about DV…I’ve seen so much press and it’s all been with Blake and not once has she mentioned the heart of the movie. Thank you for such a good in depth review of both sides because it definitely puts Hollywood into perspective.
I've had a problem with Blake since she made fun of Princess Kate on Instagram for disappearing. Two days later, Kate had cancer. Tens of thousands of comments forced her to apologize. She apologized to "all those who were offended" instead of apologizing to Kate. Arrogant, self-absorbed.
My opinion of Lively fell after her making fun of the absence of Catherine, the Princess of Wales, as well, especially when it was well known she had just had a stomach surgery, and her apology after it was revealed Catherine has cancer, was so disengenious 😢
For me it was when she wore Balenciaga 3 months after the huge scandal… even though she’s given speeches on the topic. A huge scandal about a topic she gave a passionate speech about? She was an advocate for children and a mother… yet 3 months after the disgusting scandal she wore Balenciaga and tagged them? A serious lack of moral consistency. That’s when i unfollowed her. 5 months ago.
I wasn’t impressed with her over that at all, but the dig up all things wrong isn’t cool. We all make mistakes when younger and it is insane bringing up decade old info to justify cancel culture. It is crazy watching all this.
Same here.
It would be devastating cycle for William and their children if they were to lose her.
I think Blake is trying to be like Ryan. A sarcastic comedian. But her timing is off and she doesn't know how to read the room.
not to mention that ryan is just genuinely funnier than blake, and makes jokes at appropriate times
Bingo! She is a Ryan wannabe where Ryan is being himself where as she is trying to copy him & keeps failing tremendously for she has no sense of natural humor
She's probably trying to be Ryan since she is mostly known nowadays as Ryan's Wife or Taylor's Friend since her fame fade away a long time ago in this new generation
Maybe she spends too much time with Ryan. Ryan isn’t funny, if he was a girl he’d get just as much hate or worse than Blake Lively.
i think maybe she was under pressure or triggerd as women playing this role and talking about it maybe hurt her in a way that her PR team decide to distance her a bit from topic to protect her, she is smart women and been in hollywood for a long time so there might be reason
Blake is the wrong actress for this film. She wants to be a rom-com queen, not an actress tackling serious issues.
She’s also way too old
never been a fan, never even watched a full episode of Gossip Girl it was that bad acting and storylines. She is an awful rotten person but you all only see the surface

She’s way overrated honestly. She’s always just been okay.

Out of everyone in Hollywood, I would not have expected Blake Lively to drum up that level of drama.
I mean, she did support Woody Allen. So..
They're looking for another JLO.
Really? She’s given off Diva vibes for years.
She and Taylor swift (notorious mean girl) are super good friends. This makes more sense than people think.
😂
May I also add that Blake used this movie to market her ALCOHOL COMPANY Betty Booze which sponsored all of the movie premieres and provided a specialized drink menu with one of the drinks being named “Ryle You Wait”…Ryle being the name of the abuser in the the film. She used her ALCOHOL COMPANY as a marketing strategy to promote a film about DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Alcohol is present in almost 90% of domestic abuse cases. In the book, Lily and Ryle drink wine one night to the point Lily doesn’t know if it was her being drunk or Ryle that pushes her to bang her head against the oven and black out. Did she not read the book?! That was the icing on the cake for me.
yes it was the last straw for me too! I also thought it was crazy how some tiktokers were asked to stop calling out Blake because something huge would come out and was going to depict her as a victim... but nothing came out (weight and kiss article). The thing is, for Colleen Hoover, the book has never been about DV. She said it herself, she doesn't write to educate but to entertain 🙄 and I can't believe Blake thought this was the right vision to follow! I mean, look at her interviews, her marketing circus around the movie, how delusional can these two be?!!Justin made his research and is a smart guy. He started working with No More before directing the movie and couldn't be unaware of the book's issues. I truly believe his intentions were genuine about the awareness he wanted to raise around DV. He just ended up pissing CoHo who wasn't aligned with him and gave Blake too much space. All of this allowed her to hijack his own movie! He got kicked out of a project he cared because of the Reynolds money and power play. This industry is disgusting and I think it got out of proportions because Blake is now the embodiment of how OUT OF TOUCH and unaware those huge celebrities are! She gave Jlo some rest 🤣
yeah this was quite possibly the craziest part that no one spoke about. her instagram bio was all about promoting her new alcohol company while justin's bio was about DV resources.

Oh for God's sake, it is not unheard of for people to serve their own brand of drink. She has a line of alcoholic ready to use drinks, and a line of non alcoholic drinks as well. This is a common thing to do in Hollywood. You are making a mountain out of a molehill. George Clooney did it with his tequila. Michael Jordan did it with his own tequila. Jay Z did it with his cognac. Grow up.
@@jeannawalton8107 I can see your point and would agree if she didn't claim she doesn't drink because she doesn't like the effects of alcohol. When she launched an alcoholic line some had already held that against her but she missed the mark when she chose to promote that line over the other for this specific premiere. And the issue is the lack of integrity and awareness overall. She was very vocal about her vision and creative inputs for the movie which exposed her completely and with this shitshow of a promo she showed how totally disconnected she and her vision are. She took the project of someone who was making the movie with purpose and understanding of the situation for what?! I think they (Blake and Sony) completely miscalculated how controversial the book was in the first place, and really didn't expect the backlash the movie would cause if they stayed so aligned and in tune with Colleen Hoover. Also, everyone knew it was Baldoni's project and the guy accumulated quite a fair amount of goodwill over the past. Now she needs to touch grass for a bit.. to see if she's able to get back to the real world, because with this air head of hers, she went way too high!
Justin: It's about the DV victims
Blake: wow, look at how amazing my life is! :D
Blake only cared about how great her clothes and shoes are. She really thought using her own personal wardrobe for the movie would get her praise lol
Look how great my wardrobe is and how great I am at putting them into the movie I am producing!!
I did notice how differently Blake and Justin are promoting the movie. With her it’s all about her brands, her clothes, styling and jewlery. With him it’s all about the subject domestic violence.
😂😂😂 exactly
ICK ICK ICK
I don't think Justin did ANYTHING wrong. I believe she (and her husband) had creative differences with Justin which resulted in her (and her husband) trying to hijack the movie. She played the mean girl role and made it a 'It's him or me.' thing with the rest of the cast & crew. The people siding with her did so because they believed it was strategically in their best interests to do so. So when it became clear that she is losing the PR battle (because the peasants are smart and intuitive enough to actually see the truth of the matter), she is tries to use the "Me too" movement to WIN. She is gross. You gotta know that the behaviors recently outed are just the tip of the iceberg.
“AND MY HAIR CARE COMPANY…!!!” Random and narcissistic much? Ugh.
Yeah it's okay to talk about my hair but no about my body.. what's your point? Women are allowed to change the subject any time we want if we don't like the topic we are being asked to participate in.. get over yourselves.
@maudefindlay3949 I am a woman and they were not talking about Blake's body but that she was pregnant and she had already announced her pregnancy. What Blake did was then congratulate the female reporter on her pregnancy but the reporter was not pregnant and to make it worse can't have children. There is no excuse to want publicity for your movie by wanting to sit with a reporter but then deciding to be rude. Perhaps Blake is not cut out for any interviews. After all, Blake is the one who put her money into making this movie and the reporter is not making any money whether people see the movie or not. Ryan makes a better guest and interviewee and unfortunately Blake seems to want to imitate Ryan but of course she can't. Maybe the real her is rude to people she feels nothing for like her fans.
@@maudefindlay3949Blake's getting the well deserved hate Love with it
Ah i love when people diagnose people on the internet
I know. That was hard to watch. I kept thinking, this can’t be really how she responded
“Are you promoting the Film or are you promoting yourself?”
Exactly that!
Don't actors usually do both? So they get more jobs after the current one
@@orphanedhanyou Yeah but promoting yourself when the films deals with intense subject matter like domestic violence is insensitive and tone deaf.
@@orphanedhanyou Most do. Baldoni chose not to which is what we are talking about here. Lively is promoting herself. She just tanked her career for a while .... maybe forever. People are seeing who she really is and they don't like it.
Baldoni should've gave the role to a new actress instead.
He tried to leverage Blake, and that clearly backfired into Blake leveraging the film.
She couldn’t answer one question about DV, not one
imagine Justin wanting to tell the story from a female gaze and then finding out Ryan, a man! rewrote some scenes… how disrespectful
That's what's bugging me so much, he tried to take a step back and let her lead because he knew it was important to have a woman be in the decision making and then finds out the same time as everyone else that they went behind his back and let her husband who is known for comedy movies and writing, when this is a serious and emotional movie, rewrite some of the scenes. That is truly disrespectful. It doesn't matter if you paid for most of it he is still the director, among other things, and is a big part of this. They could've talked with him about it, but they knew it was wrong, hence why they went out of their way to not tell him. Says a lot about them tbh.
Isn't Justin a man as well? How is that any less disrespectful?
@mrp2301 I'm not trying to be rude, just answering your question from my perspective. It's disrespectful to him because, like I said, he is a main person on this project and put passion and effort into it to tell a story about a woman going through abuse. And almost every interview he dives deep into what that entails and brings light to the main point of the movie, which Blake herself hasn't even done, btw. He acknowledges that although he had a big role, it isn't about him but about women who go through this. He is respectful and pushes the talking point back to women, which he should do to promote it, and just because he is a man doesn't mean he can't be supportive. It's disrespectful because he took a step back specifically to let a woman take over a topic about abuse for women, and instead, she brought her husband to do it behind his back. They could at least talk to him about it since he is the director. It is disrespectful not to be notified about these changes until the general public does. Sorry this is long, I hope I answered it in a non aggressive light.
This.
@fandomlove6607 Although I'm just joining the conversation, I felt you explained it all well. I was unaware it was done behind Justin's back. I read one article that said without Ryan Reynolds's help, the movie would have bombed.
What's interesting is that while the cast is choosing Blake,😮 the CREW, the ENTIRE CREW, made up of regular people who have had to deal with all the actors on this set, and who know where the bodies are buried, support Justin. That speaks volumes to me.
It's just ironic how the abuser in the movie promoted it for what it is (DV) better than the author herself and Blake who are making the movie feel like a romcom with all the dresses and nail polish.
While I like Colleen hoover books...it does become glaringly obvious that she has personal issues. Every single one of her male leads in her books are toxic except Atlas. And those stories *are* intended as romance novels. It ends with us wasn't supposed to be, supposedly she based it on her mom's experience with her father...which would explain why she is a little messed up. I'm not saying that to shame her...just think she very clearly needs a good therapist.
I honestly had no idea it was a movie about abuse. I thought it looked like a romantic drama judging from the promotional posters for the movie.
@@susanlisson7066that’s honestly so sad and i don’t blame you. lots of people who don’t know what the book is about think it’s a rom com. i was so confused when i saw all the posters and trailers i was so confused because it didn’t look like a movie about DV. and it doesn’t help that they cover up the true message with flowers and videos of blake lively making cookies from the movie instead of actually sitting down and talking about the true message of the book and movie
“Grab your friends and wear your florals” 🙄
Blake wants to sell her shampoo line. She doesn't care about the story.
We need to stop treating actors like they have answered a religious call to minister to our souls. For the most part, they live debauched, self-centered, and immoral lifestyles. They are not to be admired.
I admire their influence
I agree completely!! I have always found it so extremely weird as well as extremely awkward and almost even sad, the way people basically worship celebrities and other "famous" people of all walks. Sure, find inspiration and aspire to be able to get to a place in your own life, that you are able to live like that too. Or whatever, however you want to say it. But don't put these people on such high pedestals. Treating them like they are somehow better or more important than everyone and everyone else just because they happened to find fame with whatever particular talents they possess. It's weird, and quite silly. I don't mean to say we shouldn't celebrate those of us whom truly do seem to extraordinary in their particular niches, but rather to remember at the end of the day, they are still just another Human being, living on earth like the rest of us.
Down with celebrity
@@WhatTheWHAT524Agree, I’m 40 and still wonder how so many people admire and get attached to celebrities so much and forget their just entertainers. No one really knows them

She’s promoting this like it’s a Rom-Com when it’s not. She has the AUDACITY to promote her hair, nail and ALCOHOL business!! ALCOHOL!!! Around a movie about DV!!! Wtf!!!
That makes her seem shockingly oblivious to reality. 🫤
Wtf is dv, you pathetic whomen with pathetic new acronyms everyday
@@FreeSpirit5150so so so very oblivious
She also made fun of Princess Catherine who was ill to promote her drink line
What?? Promoted her alcohol company at the same time as this? Blake Lively could not be more gross. She does not deserve the platform on this issue. She clearly doesn't have a f'ing clue which shows how much empathy she lacks. Women die while this shallow dumb blonde Blake Lively promotes her little movie and her alcohol and hair care. And how much of that hair care has Blake donated to women escaping violence???
I was disgusted with her when she mocked HEH Catherine Princess of Wales, a mother of three who was at the time fighting for her life with chemo due to her serious cancer diagnosis. Blake’s a jerk IMO.
Just remember, people like Blake Lively and Ryan Rhynolds are actors. They are very good at being charming while hiding their inner narcissist. Once in a while these people slip up and we see the narcissist revealed. The fact that you are sooooo insecure that an actor taking care of his health and safety is triggering says volumes.
Yep, we just see a small part of their lives that they want us to see. And to be fair, there's a lot of weird shit going on in Hollywood and most of these people are in on it.
I’ve always got a weird vibe from Ryan too honestly. Even though I have no evidence that he’s a bad guy, he seems like that person you meet that everyone else loves but you get bad vibes from and then eventually turns out to be an asshole
@@HeatMiserr example mr. Beat
NO
No
It is NOT triggering
She's trying to play victim but that is NOT the same thing - triggering is a real word that psychologists use to have a specific meaning and everybody claiming to be "triggered" at everything completely detracts from that meaning
@@samstromberg5593I wish more people understood your point.
Normalize treating celebrities like regular people.
But, our neo-feudalist society needs its nobility!
I honestly think they’re way more aloof than regular people 😒
They never get critical questions in interviews like in talk shows or political/social questions about their society.
They are
In order for this to work, they also have to treat us like equals too. Not put up a rude or paranoid wall like they do so much. But I totally agree.
Crazy that she's treating the whole movie promo as her own personal fashion show, yet when that interviewer in 2016 kindly asked her about clothing, she was so rude and sarcastic about it.
Maybe playing Lady Deadpool has rubbed off onto Blake.
Could be.she's the Atention seeker@@pagemastrogiovanni9195
She comes off as 1.) tone deaf 2.) extremely insensitive 3.) unable to talk about deep topics or even be on topic at all.
@@alfonsoobando3616 You’re not keeping up with the news today.

Blake has admitted in interviews that she's controlling and loves it, so I'm not surprised this is happening.
You really gotta respect actors like Justin here (or Penn Badgley in You) where they’re concerned about the audience and genuinely saying “Please do not romanticize this character”
Agreed
I feel like the audience has romanticized this whole thing (including the off screen drama) which is terribly ironic
I think Hollywood actors have finally understood that people have been doing that for bad characters for so long that now with the mental health crisis and other issues actors who now portray villains are trying to make sure people really understand to not romanticize those villains anymore
@@criscabrera9098 People? You mean women. There is a reason serial killers received thousand of letters while in jail, also there is a show call "love behind bars" basically a show about people, most of the time women, that fell in love with inmates. stereotypes exists for a reason, women love bad boys specially at young age. Trust me, the concern is not about mental health but women being taking advantage of
@@n0cn1l well you said what I was thinking. 👏 bravo!!!
The way Blake answered the question about abused people coming to her was absolutely abhorrent and disgusting. She basically laughed at the subject she should be utterly ashamed of herself.
Why should these people be coming to Blake at all? She is not a therapist and doesn't want to be one. It would be like people asking RDJ jr about weapons manufacturing for the government. People need to separate actors from the roles they play.
Exactly! I never thought she was like this! No wonder she’s friends with Taylor Swift
It was rude, sarcastic and unnecessary
@@TheDegobunny it’s just a question in which she chose to answer disrespectfully. While I agree that people need to separate themselves from actors the sad reality is they don’t and go as far as worshiping these people. She should take it more seriously given her platform.
@@TheDegobunny I agree, but she should have said that. It was an ambush question that she wasn't prepared for.
Fact: Blake has ridden the "pretty privilege" train for a long time. It never lasts.....
She’s also a nepo baby - her father was an actor. She is spoiled rotten to the core.
Thank you so much for saying that bc that is exactly what her entire career has been, and it literally ends here
I think that's why she's so mean. Deep down knowing that and being incredibly insecure, it's the only reason I can think someone so fortunate would be such an arsewipe.
She was playing herself in Gossip Girl
Yeah girl looks haggard in the trailer tbh. I said what I said.
So clear from interviews that Justin is humble and pointing to the hope that is out there for domestic violence survivors and that they can get out of their dangerous situation. It is so clear that he has a true appreciation for the key points of story. Seems that the others are stuck on themselves. I'm glad everyone is seeing this and questioning the selfishness of the others involved with the film. Hopefully this is a good learning experience for the selfish ones and they learn to treat such a serious topic with appropriate respect and dignity. We all have to learn things the hard way sometimes and I sure hope they can adjust their attitudes.
Nobody should treat domestic abuse as a rom com, how stupid...
Agreed, but it got people in the door. 2nd week is going to have a major drop as it goes from being a date movie to a chick flick. The rewrite ruined awards chances but probably contributed to the movie trailer that fed 1st weekend results. Feel sorry for Justin, the movie's legacy would have been better with an award.
So should rebounds and cheating, which has been basically the core of every highly rated American romcom EVER
It's feminist lefty mental gymnastics. Same thing lefties do with religion. They will mock it in one hand, while loving the "religion of pieces". They will will want to defund the police, while making proven violent criminals saints. Just shows the left is nothing more than mental disorders and hypocrisy now.
I hope Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni would make amends. They are both good actors and the drama isn’t really helping the movie and what it stands for.

Blake is NO Princess Di or Kate Middleton. Get over herself....one word "YUCK"
Yes, I did not like the book. Yes, I laughed at the casting when it came out. But I will say the only good thing to come out from this movie was Justin Baldoni’s involvement and genuine care for DV survivors potentially watching.
Agreed. Legit you spoke my thoughts. Justin is carrying this movie's success on his back at this point. Love everything he's done so far during promotions for this film.
I understand why his cut of the movie won over Blake’s cut. She hired comedy writers. Lol. You can’t make comedy out of abuse.
Also, in my honest opinion, she stole a younger actress' job. She cast herself in a role that was meant for someone like 15-20 years younger.
@@Angel_Auraa Trueeee, the fancasts for Lily to be Abigail Cowen were perfect, she was robbed!
The irony is that even though this movie is supposed to be shining a light on this problem, Brett can't even say the word ab*se or ab*ser(without being bleeped/censored) and that people have to use an acronym for d***stic vi****ce. It's just like the word su*cide. If we can't remove the stigma of the word, how are we going to solve the problem.
Can't have people "triggered".
well to give you my genuine opinion mind you i completely understand what you’re saying and you sound very intelligent, i haven’t been through dv personally (im only 17) but um my cousin who was 19 actually committed last year and words like that do actually trigger me. in the sense of v depressive thoughts heavy anxiety and sometimes anxiety and panic attacks etc. in conclusion to give my opinion based off experience, i think its pretty tough to hear that stuff so soon still heavily going through that pain and healing process. also the younger you are it can definitely make things more difficult. however I’ve met people that haven’t been through anything of the sort and they claim that their “triggered” by certain things like this, and it does really bother me because there’s really no point when you don’t know that pain firsthand.
It's not about stigma. It's about classifying content for advertisers. UA-cam (Google) has options for advertisers to select content they want to exclude their ads from, like mature content, sensitive topics, etc. It only matters if you want your videos to make money, it's not censorship.
Bailey Sarien doesn’t bleep anything out..
@@jisu222
If you don't bleep anything, youtube has certain words it will flag which gives you less ads and doesn't promote your channel as much. It's not impossible to have a channel. But it becomes way harder to monetize. Even comments get removed for having words or names that have negative conotation

It's disgusting. What a brat. So disconnected. And then trying to throw the co-star under the bus to paint herself as a victim. Wow.
He's absolutely right. I was an actor in domestic violence awareness presentations, and it was the worst I've ever felt, especially seeing victims of DV in the audience and sometimes having them tell me they lived the exact scene we portrayed. The idea of being able to be jovial about marketing a project like this baffles me, almost as if she and her squad aren't taking such a serious subject seriously. I'm glad Justin understands the gravity of the subject matter.
That squad thing is getting old. I'm tired of these women thinking like they're better than everyone else.
I’m not turning on her, but her rudeness is being called out. It’s disappointing to see her acting like a mean girl…
It's almost like she's a Gossip Girl? 🤔

I’m glad you came out with this. I was absolutely clueless and out the loop on the Blake drama. Thank you for explaining.
He seems to have integrity that has not been jaded by Hollywood. Let’s hope that never happens.
I think that he chose wisely to remove himself far from the madding crowd.
Somebody needs to tell Blake that the cutesy retorts when in front of a Mike are not appropriate anymore. She is old enough to to know that this needs a different approach to such a serious film.
I never realized how annoying her voice is. I HATE how she responded to the question about people wanting to talk to her about the movie. That's disgusting
She doesn't seem to like "little people" and recoiled immediately at the thought of being approached by them. Especially victims of DV, they are broken people who should not approach her altar of perfection.

@@PS-qn4oz She can't help them. She isn't trained.
If Justin Baldoni was so awful and abusive as director then the cast should be open and calling him out. Period.

If it’s so bad you’re ostracizing this man, then SPEAK UP!! Otherwise it’s incredibly unprofessional. And especially of Colleen Hoover. She clearly allowed herself to be wooed by Blake & Ryan. I’ve lost respect for all of them except Justin.
Anyone who follows Justin career knows it's not the case, he would never be an abusive director, ever.

She actually didn’t read the book. She said in an interview that she never read it.
Of course she didn't. Knowing Hollywood they probably demanded that she not read it
I don't know how you can take a part, when it's based on a book, and not read it. She sucks!
It honestly depends on person i think. Like when u read the book, and script defers or changes character narrative, u have a pre made image in your head of the script which may affect your performance style when u're used to the script work.
Like when tom holland in mcu was told to cry as if it were a wedding but it was a funeral and the acting was top notch. So, they're used to a certain pattern to do their best. If the pattern of them acting or being instructed is changed by giving them a indepth construct of the character, it could potentially hamper performer.
Imagine trying to act out the emotions of - Her laugh symbolised both happiness at being being able to........ And then just being told to cry softly with a smile like saying goodbye for 10 years. It makes a difference in internal perspective.
Apparently the book is shit anyways and the author tried to bury the allegations of SA of her son. The writer is also problematic af.
Booktube, a place that loved Coolleen Hoover so much, in October 2022 all they could talk about over there was It Starts With Us, the sequel to this thing I guess, decided at some point in 2023 that they hated her and wanted her to never be brought up again outside of a negative context.
Seriously i was traumatized. I thought it was a rom com. This movie needed a warning l. And it needed a more responsible and serious approach to PR and to advocate for the real issues this book and movie were exposing. Only Justin has done an admirable job. All his movies tend to be about social issues and this vain mean girl vibe Lively is giving only withers the real meaning behind this book and project. 14:43

Jason Baldoni might be a gem to work with etc but he was not charismatic enough to be a credible lover opposite Blake Lively.
Blake dropped the ball badly and possibly ruined the emotional range of the movie with her flighty uninterested response to helping women who are barely surviving with DV.
Am I the only one who has found herself and Ryan’s annoying performative constant “we’re so funny” sarcasm bs really annoying this whole entire time?
And now that she’s being forced to talk about serious issues she can’t. It’s like she’s played funny for so long she can’t turn it off
I saw Deadpool 3 today in cinema. Such an annoying and stupid movie. Ryan Reynolds takes himself too serious, fame has clouded his brain.
Yes, they are absolute cringe and the way they are publicly to each other with like their "flirty" (but actually super mean) little like public quips and shit. The attention seeking Makes me wanna vomit. Just exactly what you said performative fake yuck
Always have. It’s sad bc I’ve seen Blake take serious issues to heart and speak on it, and it was beautiful. I really wonder what’s going on with her lately.
Nope, you’re not the only one. And I don’t understand everyone’s praise for her. She’s a mediocre actress!
14:14 Blake Lively telling the rest of the world “don’t you dare approach me if you see me on the street, I don’t really ever care about your DV story, please understand this movie for me was about elevating my star status, promoting my hair care brand and smugly talking about my Uber famous husband. I’m Hollywood royalty you know.” As a past DV victim her tone has totally been triggering.
Thanks. If it hadn't been for the comments section, I would've had no idea how her answer connected to the question. Well, it doesn't connect at all, but now I understand that she regards herself too far above the rest of us rabble to even give a straight answer to a legitimate question.
I don't get how anyone in this modern age cares about what a celebrity says.
You know what is interesting about this is that Blake used to be outspoken about her support in combatting child sexual abuse, child p*rn, and trafficking. She is no stranger to tackling hard topics. I am not sure why it is so different this time around. It reminds me a lot of the Ashton Kutcher / Mila Kunis situation.
Well said
I think she is probably medicated to deal with exhaustion with all those damn kids. Liquors. Hair care companies. She is probably on a lot of uppers and birth control😂 At the end of the day. She is a Hollywood person. Not normal. And definitely not all of these ladies therapist. How lucky are we as a society that people can get so worked up about a movie. Meanwhile 88 k little ones are missing and crickets. Adults can take care of themselves. It's our job to protect keeds. Sorry. I'm not very empathetic for Hollywood. Just curious what was going on with this story... Brett is wrong on this one... you didn't have money to hire Meryl streep. You hired a b rated actress. An old man once told me the worst ship to be on is a partnership! Sounds like they're bad partners and both hold fault.

It’s “sex” that was censored.
@@rogermortimer111She said “It’s a story about domestic violence and abuse” and they had to censor abuse.
Plugging her hair care products was pathetic compared to the content of the movie is disgusting.
Literally and saying "grab your florals" like wtf
@@saadiakhan7524 Dude I cringed out of my skin when she said that. It's like when a celebrity gets detached and self-centered in a cartoon except it's real life. 😭
Some people just aren't good at being vulnerable or being authentic with strangers. Turns out Blake is one of them. Not that she isn't this way with close friends. She shouldn't have done a movie with such serious themes because it seems that she can't really be serious as a "persona," which makes sense since her and her husband are known to be fun-loving, easy going and sarcastic, and that just doesn't mix with serious DV discussions.
The “fat shaming” is just hilarious. Blake lively is my height (almost 5’11”) so naturally we weigh more than the average woman. I’m 145lbs at my leanest, and would imagine Blake is likely around 130-140lbs. Even with a woman of normal height, asking the weight of someone you’re about to lift when you have back problems isn’t fat shaming, it’s literally just trying to not hurt yourself 😅
I'm 5'7 and 105 lbs. It wouldn't offend me if he asked the safest way to pick me up without injuring his back. Blake just wanted to make him look bad, and it appears to have backfired on her.
blake is 5'8 not your height buddy
@RayPhilip700 She's 5'10", according to Google.
She's gotta be closer to 160lbs
@@JA-ur8cx this is what I think. No shame at all, but she is super tall and doesn't exactly have a delicate frame (you can tell because of how different the Britney dress looks on her). I would say at least 150
i lost respect for blake when i watched an interview of her from a few years ago. the interviewer said, "congratulations on your little bump!" (blake was pregnant), & blake SO RUDELY replied, "ohh congratulations on YOUR little bump!!" & then proceeded to talk to her friend sitting next to her & pretending the interviewer wasn't there. the interviewer looks so embarrassed & sad.. it was awful. blake is a "mean girl".
the interviewer had no right to say that to Blake first. I'm not a fan at all, but put the blame where it needs to go
@@kjeksklaus7944 had no right to congratulate her on being pregnant? please. that's ridiculous. no one in their right mind would blame an interviewer for congratulating someone on being pregnant.
@@kjeksklaus7944 Blake publicly confirmed she was pregnant a day or two before that interview so it was absolutely appropriate to congratulate her. So people are correctly placing the blame where it needs to go, on Blake.
Not to mention the poor interviewer was struggling with infertility and I’m sure would have given anything to have an actual little bump of her own so that was extra painful.
In my opinion, I didn't see anything wrong with what the interviewer said.. I have been pregnant three times and would never find that offensive. I guess to each their own.
It’s like it was a passion project for Mr. Baldoni, and just a business opportunity for Ms. Lively.
Precisely. She wants to sell coffee, hair products and shampoo. He wants to provide aid for real life victims of violence and abuse.
She even hired comedy writers to mess with his script and shot a different version. 😅
Didn’t she once call the Gossip Girl cast “her pet monkeys” or something along those lines? I hope she disappears for good. Crazy respect for Justin
Justin is the one who initially contacted Colleen and praised the book and then acquired rights to make it into a film.
Yup. Back in 2019. It’s hard to imagine something you worked on for that long being stolen and rewritten.
@@skyboss1184 Because she made changes without permission, made it about herself to sell products, and showed a different cut of the film.
ok well thats a bit concerning too considering colleen hoover is a vile person.
I’m not a fan of Ryan Reynolds or Blake for that matter. She is over rated as an actor. But their whole media persona “oh we are so funny”, “we don’t take ourselves too serious”…. She’s trying to be funny and it’s coming off so out of touch and tone deaf. She is a self absorbed celebrity who’s learning in real time how out of touch she is and how many people are finding her annoying.
Ryan is actually very funny, maybe it's not fit for Blake but that's another thing
I have never liked those two. There is something about them that feels extremely fake and pretentious.
@@joanofarcxxi what's so bad about Ryan?
I was a huge fan till I ran into them in person in Vancouver. Holy crap Ryan either hates the concept of peace or got skeletons where he can tolerate Blake and what sounds like an endless stream of madness. My only hope for their kids is now they got the nanny 24/7 yikes. I went from maybe try to approach to let's not even know who they are real quick. I am thankfully not used to my friends constantly projecting the vibes of a major domestic situation erupting at any moment.
Agree. He’s not a very good actor but he’s hilarious in Deadpool. She was pretty good in A simple plan but probably playing a character close to her personality. 🤣
She lost me as a fan when she heartlessly went after princess Catherine, who was undergoing cancer diagnosis and treatment. Blake showed she is just a juvenile mean girl.
She's always been a mean girl. I think people forget all the back to the sisters of the traveling pants. HOW COULD TAYLOR HAVE A FRIEND LIKE THIS?
Same, when I saw that, I knew she was suspect.
what did she do?
@@melissabishop2982
Because that whole group is the epitome of a mean girl. Tylor gives off the same vibe, she just hides it better, watch her not say a word to defend her best friend.
What did she say
I love Justin. I may not be 100% accurate but since he transitioned to directing and producing he does movies for people. Specific people. Still can't forget five feet apart.
Blake made fun of Princess Kate. Now she belittles the theme of this movie. She’s a shady person.
Perception is key.. but please do tell women how we should handle our topics that affect us. Perhaps if men would stop being so "shady" and downright violent then none of this would have been a topic in the first place. Scapegoating women for how we handle it is just another form of abuse. STOP IT! And in reality there is no such thing as Princesses ..which is it you want her to accept fairy tales or not..make up your mind because you sound confused.
I remember that. She's sick. Someone should have told Prince William that BL and T Swift are best friends before he took his kids to the Swift concert and brought them backstage later. After all the trouble the royal family endures from that Markle woman, he doesn't realize that Swift and Lively are just as bad.
Someone should have told Prince William that Lively and T Swift are best friends before he brought his kids to that concert and backstage afterwards. After the abuse that whole family has taken from Markle, you'd think he could tell that Swift and Lively are the same pernicious species that she is.

well they don't care, you're watching it and talking about it - also sad for the kids who will grow up to be an ahole like Blake and Ryan, Ryan is just as much one
I recently watched another interview this one lady had with Blake and it was ATROCIOUS. It was titled something like “This Blake Lively interview almost made me quit me job”. It was nasty mean girl behavior and she showed who she really is
That interview was really tough to watch…
I saw that interview. Blake and Parker Posey were horrid creatures to that journalist. I felt so bad for her. Blake and Parker just kept going on and on and did not even look at the journalist.
they were behaving like nasty stupid teenagers that nobody wanna be around because of their lack of reality
Makes sense she hangs out with TS..
@@Malum09exactly! We probably won’t see them together now for a while….
Or maybe Taylor will bring her back and try to get her *cough* cult *cough* to give her some good pr
18:33 The "fat shaming" thing. He literally asked how much she weighed because HE HAS BACK PROBLEM. Asking for her weight is not fat shaming, it's ensuring both he AND Blake are safe on set while she is in the air.
Take it from a theatre angle. When we have a show that has flight, we need to know an actor's weight. We need at LEAST 2x the actor's weight on the backend. Why? So the rope holders aren't straining under someone's weight because the actor lied about it. You don't want the people holding you up straining. They literally have your life in their hands.
If you lie about your weight when you're in flight, you could either get injured, sustain lifelong injuries, or die. You could do the same for the people who are also holding you up. That's literally it.
I say this as someone who has had body image issues and been fat shamed - the responsible thing to do in a situation like this is to ask for your costar's weight. Especially if you have a history of back problems.
Blake has an issue with him asking for her weight. She probably would've had an issue with him dropping her if he didn't do the responsible thing and ask for her weight. There's no winning.
I like to say - if you're in a scene and your feet aren't on the ground - you need to get comfortable with the fact that you might need to disclose your weight.
I feel like Blake is trying to make It Ends with Us and Deadpool into Barbinheimer
That's EXACTLY what I told my girlfriend! She's a DIEHARD Blake Lively fan, and she doesn't idolize ANYBODY else, she's just always had a HUGE thing for Lively, and this has been CRUSHING her. I really believe this and told her that too, and that I THINK Lively wanted some light-hearted crossover promotion for her and her husband ever since having the notoriety of a couple in tinsel town receiving two of the highest grossing box office successes, just.. as a couple (as mentioned in the video).
I mean she’s a pretty well known popular celebrity. She didnt need this. Not like this.
That actually makes so much sense!
I was telling my sister the sammmmeeee this morning!!!!
That makes me think. What is the difference with Barbenheimer to this then. I mean both would be about real horrible situations, along with a light comedy. Maybe it's the way the cast treats the darker movie
I am team Justin, anyone who’s listened to his TED talk would be. He’s a very thoughtful person.
You should be on the side of not caring about celebrity squabbles. Grow up.
She was offended by the “bump” comment because she’s well known for her physical beauty. Instead of taking the compliment (or comment depending on how you see it) with grace, she chose to show her true colors.
I think only a narcissistic mother could get offended when someone draws attention to her baby. It was as if the baby did not matter whatsoever.
HER BODY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER ACTING OR HER MOVIES. ARE WE REALLY STILL HAVING THIS ABSURD CONVERSATION ABOUT WHY WOMEN DONT HAVE TO BE NICE WHEN WE ARE BEING EXPLOITED FOR NO REASON?

Words matter.

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
I dont what beauty about her, she got big warts on her face 😂
Oh my! I absolutely LOVED your transition to “Ruff Greens”! Pure talent 🤩👍🏻
Thanks for your insight. Love your energy.
The fact that Blake took such an amazing opportunity to advise her on hair care line rather than maybe some DV charities….😬
This!!!
Too bad you can’t dictate what people do with THIER money….
@@1lessaname too bad it went over your head that the ‘money’ is actually the film companies and she should be endorsing the film or themes related to it and not her own PRIVATE business 🙄
are you purposely being dumb??
@@1lessanametheir money? You mean, the studios money?? They’re paying her for these promos. What are you missing?
I don’t understand why people put Blake and Ryan on a pedestal to begin with? the whole we’re so funny & reletable act was never convincing, and she literally broke his marriage with Scarlet Jo- but everyone looks over that because they’re a power couple.
Blake has been rude her whole career, and she got her husband to buy her a possible oscar nom (hilarious) and when it didn’t go her way she tried to make justin the villian. Blake will never be that girl because she’s a bully.
Yes! Glad to see this. So many people gloss over this in MANY celebrity relationships and then act surprised when things like this or worse come out. Clearly neither one of these people (Ryan and Blake ) have any shame.
Never liked her. She always seemed disingenuous
No kidding! I’m over them! After his comments about downplaying comedians. Whatever! You too good for everyone Ryan!
The fact that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds can join a random movie and they'll change your whole script is crazy. 😅
It was definitely an Oscar material project that they bought and 'bulldozed' all over.
Blake has also been seemingly trying to have a "Barbie moment" by wearing floral outfits during the promotional tour to tie in with her character's surname of Bloom! She couldn't be more tone deaf, the movie is about DV!
Whats DV?
@@vougevouge1115Domestic Violence
Why would that be bad? The quran says a few things about the subject and islam IS right about women...
@@vougevouge1115 I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering
Its not just her character's surname of Bloom, the character literally loves flowers and is a florist lmao
As a victim of DV it is slightly offensive to see her plugging her hair care when she could be talking about the actual point of the film
I was already over Blake Lively, but now I simply cannot stand her. The vanity, the lack of humility, the assumptions that everything revolves around her and everyone wants to be her is disgraceful. And she’s supposed be a feminist?! Maybe she needs to take a deep dive into what that means, and what it really means to take on a role of a DV victim. On another note, I’m extremely impressed with how Justin has handled this whole film, including press.
The fact that a 36 year old thinks she can pass as a 23 year old ? 😂😂😂
@sebastiananthony5442 I'm 31 I could easily pass as a late teen/early 20's..that's really not that far fetched when you actually look a lot younger than you are 🤷🏾♀️..lol!!
@@EdenMB-w3x Oh, so EVERYONE who has ever met me & didn't know how old I was, was just lying..even the kids & teenagers themselves who have told me..👌🏾😆!!
Is her being a feminist explained exactly why she is the way she is. I didn't realize she was that bad of a person. Feminists hate women but are very good manipulators of women.
That actually sounds just like a feminist. Vain, prideful, doesn't actually care about women.
As someone myself who lived with dv for 14 years and narrowly escaped him killing me, her behavior is abhorrent. She is ignorant and cruel. I’m thankful God got me and my children out before he ended my life and knowing there are many others who don’t get that chance or are still living that hell this infuriates me the way she is acting about this. Justin has the right attitude about it. Classy, compassionate and respectful. She is disrespectful and another reason I’m so tired of hollywood. We make these ppl rich by supporting their work and they treat us like garbage.
I’m so glad you survived - you’re so strong!
@@cuddlypenguin123I’m so sorry that y’all went thru that but so so happy you survived and are here to tell your story!
our real sin is that we like entertainment, that's why we give a stage to these celebrities, but the good part is that no one is no longer putting up with every shit they do, as they say: celebrities are not untouchable
Thank the Lord that you and your children survived, you showed amazing strength. God bless you. ❤️ My mother was murdered by her abusive partner 5 years ago.
I'm so glad that you are out of that situation. That must have been very traumatic for you. I wish you peace and healthy love for now and the future 💖🙏.
Blake belittling violence is horrendous. Victims take a long time, if not a lifetime, to recover from something like this. Shame she is focusing on something else.
Justin’s sincere remarks about this movie being about the abuses going on in relationships and how it effected him emotionally, made me want to see the movie.
I lost respect for Blake Lively when she mocked Princess Kate’s photoshopped picture. No class whatsoever.
Oh yeah!
Yeah, me too!
Wow seriously?! I didn’t know she did that. Welp Blake, you’re done. I always thought she was one of the nice ones, too.
@@chrismurphy3184 she joined in the whole "Where's Kate" drama to promote her drink, and then gave half-assed apology afterwards.
releasing that fake photo was so bizarre. she could've simply told people what was going on, or just not released a weird fake picture that she then pretended was real
Who would've thought Hollywood's Sweetheart would fall this low? I loved Justin in Jane the Virgin and I'm glad he's handling all of this with such grace.
I've seen Jane the Virgin from ages 18-21 and I loved it.
When has Blake Lively ever been called “America’s “sweetheart”? I have never that. Ever.
Blake has never been called "America's Sweetheart. "
Blake always was just Ryan Reynolds wife 😂 and just that, until this movie where she kinda had creative control with her husband and decided to take the wrong movie to mess with, exactly this kind of topic you want it to be a rom-com instead of something serious, she always was a bully, out of touch with reality but only now people see her for real 😂
They are censoring the word "abuse" now. How sensitive are you people?
Don’t use the word “people” either. Some of us are dragons in 2024…
It’s the UA-cam guidelines
How dare you
srsly its so annoying
The strategy is if you can’t talk about it it doesn’t exist. It starts with small things but eventually you won’t be able to talk about anything negative therefore soon enough you won’t know what’s going on around you, you will be an innocent naive sitting duck.
I don’t see why someone who went through something like this would want to go out of their way to see this movie. I personally don’t plan on putting myself through that…
This is all very calculated on Lively’s part and it is blowing up in her face. Justin has handled this with grace.
I think she’s promoting it as a chick flick to get a bigger audience. I think she’s using that as a hook and doesn’t want to give away it’s about dv. Such a deceitful way to get more ppl through the theater doors.
Exactly. It’s interesting how many people are surprised by this. Both Ryan and Blake are shrewd business people and they own multiple businesses worth millions. They approached this movie as any other business venture and chose the strategy that would make them more money. They are just simply promoting all of their projects in a way that can brings them the highest financial gains.
It's very clear from the trailer that the story is about DV. Do people not watch trailers anymore?
@@rationalcynic8416no lol i don’t think it was like before

@@rationalcynic8416 Exactly. I watched the trailer and knew what to expect going in
Justin seems very classy whenever he speaks, she just seems rude and extremely out of touch
😂 or perhaps she is more experienced as an actress to not live the role anywhere else except while the movie was being filmed.
Thanks for covering this Brett. I keep seeing stuff show up in my feed and was like what is happening here? I know I've had plenty of times where I have stuck my foot in my mouth or just acted a certain way cuz I thought it was funny but now I look back and groan. I'm hoping that is the case here. I'm also wondering if so many more ppl are aware and considerate of such sensitive topics so even having a casual attitude during press tours now is like wow, not cool. I think back to movies I grew up with in 90s when DV and SA was like the punch lines of the movies. Times have changed
I think Blake wants this to be this year's "Barbenheimer", with the new Deadpool movie, but instead of realizing that her movie would be the "Oppenheimer" in this sense, she tries to make it the "Barbie", which would actually be the Deadpool movie...
I would have loved to see Blake and Ryan lean into the Barbenheimer vibe but having Ryan covering the “Barbie” and Blake covering something of greater emotional depth. That really would have been the winning combination.
I think you are absolutely spot on
@@mademoisellesachaaa they could have been SO MUCH smarter with it
Agreed
I think her first real mask slip was her commenting on Princess Catherine "missing" drama.

Yup
*1000% AGREE!*
I loved her growing up. I’m not a big celebrity follower because I tend to not want to know what they think when they are allowed to talk freely (Rachel Ziegler anyone). Basically using “don’t meet your heroes” in a don’t follow them on social media way.
I lost respect for many famous people Because I made the mistake of following them on social and watching them become social justice drones.
The Princess of Wales did literally nothing to deserve being made a joke for the amusement of rich social drone
...and then apologized via IG story that disappears in a day. A sincere apology would be vocal or at least a permanent post.
I completely agree. Blake bullied a fellow mom recovering from a serious surgery. She had no issues using Princess Catherine's name to make fun of her but didn’t mention Princess Catherine's name in her apology...absolutely disgusting
15:38 she said what she said, and if you listen closely, she’s telling us she doesn’t care about domestic violence victims. She can’t relate so she doesn’t care
Yeah I agree. That's the thing. It's like she is completely dissociating/disconnecting by using humour. Not from experienced trauma but because she has no personal experience so it's not relatable for her at all. And that's very unfortunate considering the seriousness of the topic. She should have been more elegant and serious and used the opportunity to connect with victims and bring awareness.
