Of course not. He was bullied during production, post production, and release of the film. They expected him to lay down like the dog they treated him like for the past year and a half. He had enough after the lies told on the NYT article. Good for him for finally sticking up for himself.
I believed her At First I WAS team Blake. But.. She cried wolf to us and Ryan. He defended her. Now Ryan will see the Full text of Blake inviting Justin to her trailer While Nursing!! He’s going to be mad at her for making him look like a fool.
It depends on which side of the internet you're on, really. I'm personally in favor of Justin because his team has clearly been more transparent with evidence while Blake's side has edited theirs heavily. But a lot of people are on her side because they don't even know he countered.
Piled on the hate campaign against princess Catherine while she was being treated for cancer, the same treatment of Leighton meester, interviewer were treated with disdain and belittled, these are the things I don’t like her for. Add this debacle and it aligns with her being a nasty piece of work, imo
As a DV survivor and a sexual assault victim/survivor when the pr was going on for this movie the way Blake Lively and cast were promoting it was absolutely horrible. It was extremely off putting and I haven’t even wanted to watch the movie. The backlash was a lot of people like myself didn’t like the way they were promoting it.
I'm so that happened to you and as a survivor myself, I found the promo tour be misguided. Even the author had the gall to push her nail polish and coloring books. Talk abt entrenched ignorance.
I've been thinking about people in your situation a lot throughout all of this. The mockery she made of it must be hurtful, and that sucks. I'm sorry ❤
I’m so sorry you had to live through that. I cannot imagine how hard it must’ve been and I hope you find joy and happiness for the rest of your life. ❤ I have never experienced DV myself but my sister did and the promo was all about Blake nothing about the message of the movie. 😢
I watched the interviews. Blake did this to herself and now she is trying to fix her and her husband's reputation. With all of the texts her team lef out that clears up the conversation and his team shows the rest. I believe Justin
@cheswick1057 this situation doesn't represent all men or all women. The original poster references reasons for believing the man in this case. This is not a men vs women fight.
I was so confused about florals representing DV, because I couldn't find anything about florals as a generic. It seems like "florals" is a giant target for identifying potential victims when they may want to wear a small item of support/representation. My understanding from those who do work with those in the DV community, keeping the low profile or no profile is a high priority.
@@CatInWonderlands "Wear your florals" wasn't deeper than that Blake's character "Lily Blossom Bloom" owns a flower shop in the movie. That was it. No deep meaning, no representation of DV, nothing.
@@CatInWonderlandsit wasn’t to do with DV. She completely ignored that issue. It was a reference to her character. Also, I thing it was her way of gaslighting people to see the film as they might not have gone if they knew it was about DV. She tried to make people think it was a romantic movie to get bums on seats IMO
@@CatInWonderlandsit was to try and show support for the character, Lily. It was just not excecuted well, but the cast and Blake were under contract from Sony to do that.
The reason why it was a problem with Ryan Reynolds writing a part of the script is because there was a writers strike at that time! There might be other reasons too, but that’s a huge one.
As someone who has followed Justin on social media since covid and seeing his values I can’t for a second believe he intentionally caused harm or distress . This just what happens when the “elite” don’t get their way 🤷♀️
I completely agree. Like maybe if he had a string of accusers coming out with some solid proof, I’d believe it but that’s not what we have here. I very much doubt all of his actions and social media is faked.
And it might already be over. If it turned out everything Lively alleged was untrue, he doesn’t have the leverage like Depp to come back, especially since it seems like he comes off as self important to some people in the business (at least according to his publicist)
The fact is, she was not at the movie for the right reasons. She never really spoke about what the movie was about. Instead, she was promoting her brand
Exactly. And that hair care line was criminal. People also have terrible reviews for the alcohol. And considering she doesn't drink and alcohol's role in many domestic violence cases makes it a terrible project to promote it during the PR tour. Very selfish, tone def, greedy and completely lacking empathy. It makes me think she isn't very intelligent because it just doesn't give good optics, even if she doesn't actually care about anything but money, it's a bad branding move. I wonder if anyone gave her advice that it was in poor taste?
Let’s not forget that Ryan used his fame, wealth and power to bully his way to getting the Deadpool franchise and now Blake wants her own franchise and chose this movie to do the same to Justin… this is also why Colleen (or whatever that traitor is who wrote the books) sided with Blake because she thought she would make more money with Ryan and Blake on her side than Justin.
Justin and wayfarer own the film rights to the second book / sequel . I think Blake’s lawsuit is an overall attempt to get the rights to make that movie and push Justin and Wayfarer out.
i don’t think you know how lawsuits work. The result of this isn’t getting film rights. LOL It doesn’t even make sense just you are mindlessly parroting this dude that you don’t even know. Stop embarrassing yourself
@ do you not think film rights could be part of a settlement or part of some sort of back channel agreement to drop the lawsuit ? I’m not sure why you feel the need to be so rude when replying to me, but to say that rights to a film could not be part of a civil lawsuit means YOU dont know how lawsuits work, not me. 😘
@@V23325 it's no secret this is about the sequels. Justin already said he wasn't doing the sequels with her. They want to hurt him because he wouldn't quit and give them the rights to the sequels. He probably refused to sell to them. I personally don't get why BL and RR didn't just look for another novel, invest in it, make a movie etc and just leave JB alone
It seems very obvious to me what occurred here. Blake Lively is extremely unpopular with the public particularly when clips of her were released of her obnoxious behaviour and treatment of others so she threw this poor, lesser known actor under the bus in a way that could have destroyed his career and reputation to take the attention off her. I'm glad she is being exposed, I hope he is publicly vindicated.
I think it's far too soon to say, personally. Things said by both sides are somewhat problematic. I'm interested, but way too soon for me to even consider passing judgement.
I hope and pray for Justin B win all his lawsuists, the abuse of power of the Reynolds is disgusting make me feel bad every time i heard all the damage against this man 😢
I hope not much weight is spent on whether Justin is not liked by the cast or not. In my 65 years I cannot stress enough how many times people have ganged up on people in the work force. It could be the person is quirky, conceited, frustrating etc. It could also be that people want to naturally gravitate to and be seen with the more powerful and important person, who in this case will be Blake! 99% of the times people have created lies just to support there poor behaviour. Being annoying isn’t a crime.
Same here, Terri. I've seen the high school clique-ish behavior in many work spaces. With the advent of social media, it's gotten even worse. The story about Justin is not uncommon.
If BL was truly SH, wouldn’t it feel more true to her to promote it for what it was? And not looking all cute, making fashion statements and treating it like a RomCom
But how can she say she couldn't be around him bc he Sexually harassed her when she Continued working with him after she said it happened to Sony? And why did she refuse the intimacy coordinator? , you have to understand she is more famous, more rich, she has more Hollywood status, so she could walked out without losing a penny where Justin invested 5 years into this Project he spent millions, he's not as powerful rich and famous as her so she had the upper hand and she used that to her advantage and she did exactly what her husband did with the Deadpool where he took from the original director so she's not some poor woman that was too scared to speak up, if you see her interviews she is very rude outspoken for herself although she I mean she's not some poor defenceless actress so she wanted to have more say in films and she saw one opportunity and she took from him The reason she did is bc she hijacked the whole movie but her reputation got ruined!
Sounds like he agreed to go to the basement because he was a bad boy. Then he was resentful he wasn’t reaper the rewards of the movie succeeding so he tried a smear campaign…now that she outed him and has proof is trying to justify his smear campaign. He could have publicly criticized her but chose not to. He changed PR teams because the first wouldn’t do it.
Team JB all the way. Shame on BL and RR. So shocking they can manipulate the industry. It doesn't matter if JB wins. He has already won the publics vote. Can you believe the power they have placing the Producer/Director in the basement. Did the rest of the cast know. Wow if they did and blindly went along with this then shame on them as well. BL and RR so shocking. Honestly words can not express how awful a person has to be to do this to another. JB stay strong.
@@misslou43 Yes! When my red flag radar is going off, when I see someone displaying narcissistic traits, I look how other people act around them. Watching "Young Lily" and how she acts around Blake, was so evident to me how toxic Blake is.
I have to say, I liked the wardrobe choices. Sorry not sorry. I do think this entire situation could/should have been handled privately. Bad look all the way around, but then, I liked the everybody’s fashion in the movie so take it as you will.
@ I respect that 💯 Just not my taste in the slightest. But then again, I am from the west coast and hated the clothes & shoes in SATC😹😹 Did you like the movie?
@ I did. I wasn’t knocked over by any means, lesson or not. It was an interesting diversion no piece of art, but I saw it all the way through. Like watching Castle, I enjoyed it, but I’ve had brain surgery back in 2010 so…
From what we have seen regarding Blake's choices even the Justin cut that we have won't be what he envisioned seeing as she made so many changes while they were filming.
This started with Blake Lively NYT blasting Justin . So then Justin Lawyer is taking on NYT which they should . Have Right Defend yourself especially when she put it in NYT . Seriously? So doesn’t seem to be started by Justin . I think this is ridiculous especially telling Justin can’t come to the premier of movie that he directed and star in as male actor .
I am a DV survivor and work in DV, mental health and addictions for my local government. And Blake's laissez faire promotion of film about such a serious subject matter was tone deaf and insensitive. I was very put off by it. And because of her behaviour in the press tour, I had no interest in seeing the movie at all.
@@leslieacoca5876 Yes! If they manipulate and bully Justin Baldoni et al who has a modest amount of clout in Hollywood, imagine how awful they are to people less than him. I'll bet there are hundreds of people with stories to tell.
Blake could use that argument but Justin’s actions before they even had a cast prove that he really did believe in it and want to tell the story. He read the book and bought the rights in 2019. From the very beginning he wanted to do justice to survivors and those currently going through something similar. You can tell this by the way he promoted it.
Most disappointed in the abject failure of the NYT to exercise due diligence in their reporting. Publishing unsubstantiated claims as news because they were too busy chasing clicks. Edited: spelling
I think this will all end in a divorce between Blake and Ryan. She honestly reminds me of Amber Heard, full of histrionics: exaggerating everything for attention, "he fat shamed me," " he sexually harassed me." I wouldn't be surprised if she was diagnosed with borderline disorder personality as well.
Absolutely. My mother had histrionic personality disorder, it’s a lifetime sentence to hell for everyone else. People with untreated personality disorders cause huge societal harm and yet this is never addressed or even discussed at a significant level ?
Do you think they will divorce? If think they seem like very solid, two peas in a pod. I don't think they'll divorce. I think Ryan is quite scary and can be a wolf in sheep clothing. Blake reminds me of Heard in that sense you mention, but I think Heard is much more explosive and intense and an other level of abusive. Blake remind me much more about Meghan Markle.
i doubt it’ll end in divorce, i feel like blake lively and ryan reynolds are perfectly happy being among the hollywood elite, supporting and enabling each other’s behaviors. and while this has been damaging to lively’s career/reputation, it’s just going to be a blip in ryan reynolds’.
I don't think that it will end in divorce, her taking over the movie is giving very similar vibes of Ryan doing the same with Deadpool around the same time.
What I WANT to see is Blake Lively’s sexual harassment complaint to HR after the harassment allegedly happened or documentation that corroborated her claim of sexual harassment. Also, are you telling me that she was sexually harassed but didn’t complaint about it to the studio when her husband is Ryan Reynolds. Heck, if she were sexually harassed she would have made h3ll about it due to her husband’s standing. Her claims are just not credible.
Incredible that Justin’s lawyer comes with a trail of receipts documenting how Justin was being bullied by Blake & hijacking his movie & there are people who still think that it might still be possible that Justin SH Blake?!? She had ALL the power. She never states that Justin was making ANY or repeated advances or suggestions. And, her lawsuit confirms that the alleged offensive behavior ceased once all parties agreed. If the accused is not hitting on you or objectifying you, the offenses are not repeated, and the accused holds no power & is being bullied by the “victim”, then it’s NOT SH.
Johnny Depp had all the power (age, wealth, influence) over Amber Heard and people believe he was victimised. I’ll wait for the trials since all lawyers are going to withhold information that doesn’t look good for their clients.
The argument that BL stayed on despite the s*xual harassment because she believed in the cause is easily debunked by her lacked efforts to speak about DV during the promotion of the movie. She instead chose to promote her hair care line and alcohol brand. It’s very insensitive.
Blake Lively is no victim. Her and Ryan always had the upper hand in this production and in Hollywood. None of what she said rings true. I felt from day one, that there had to be so much more to this story. Her reputation and personality just don’t vibe with someone who would let this happen. Some people just can’t look at this objectively because they want to support women, but this makes it actually worse for real victims. I hope he gets redeemed.
Any woman who believes woman allegations just because they are women are naive, and ignorant. They sound like they are twelve years old. Justin already provided texts, a screen shot and context to Blake's allegation and Justin's attorney will be suing BL, RR, her publicist and his former publicist and providing all documents, many more texts and emails proving that Blake's allegations are false. Blake's lawsuit after her complaint has no evidence against Justin. In law, you need evidence.
@Frisco42 none of what she said rings true? His lawyer literally confirmed there was a meeting where JB signed the list of requirements she indicated in her lawsuit. Almost all the points listed in her lawsuit regarding the harassment could be proven with the video evidences, so let's see, shall we? And regarding the retaliation and the smear campaign, it is already proven and all the hate comments here are evidences that it was wildly successful.
Why would someone do a PR stunt that could literally ruin their career (Baldoni). And he is just responding to her claims, she is the one that started all.od this.
Blake's lawsuit is very telling. It focuses heavily on how Justin's team allegedly used PR to damage her image as a way to discredit her, suggesting that by ruining her reputation, people would be less likely to believe her sexual abuse allegations against Justin. This makes her lawsuit seem more centered on the negative press she received during the movie’s press tour rather than on addressing or speaking out against sexual abuse itself. If she truly experienced the sexual misconduct she alleges, she likely wouldn’t focus on blaming Justin for the backlash. Her priority would presumably be addressing the misconduct itself, rather than trying to tie him to the negative press.
Ryan also rewrote scenes in the script, and would insert some of his own control during production. This is why most work places avoid having couples working in the same space. It gets messy AF.
I have yet to see ANY evidence of sexual harassment that blake suffered. Edited texts from his PR team don't cut it. They're not even texts from him. Justin lost representation, lost an award, all because of Blake's accusation. So if anyone has been defamed and has the receipts so far, it's definitely Justin.
Justin not only lost his reputation and name, his award, and management representation, he has potential income loss from the sequel to it ends with us. We are talking millions and millions of dollars.
I’m so curious to see how this plays out. I just have a feeling that Blake and Ryan miscalculated and underestimated Justin. Possibly assuming he was this fake feminist who didn’t actually care about women’s DV, and also assuming he was talking crap about her all the time behind her back, trying to ruin her. And so now seeing that Justin apparently really did care about female survivors and that he wasn’t being vindictive behind the scenes and trying to ruin her reputation, Blake has to be slowly dying on the inside. If his texts and other communications only show what his lawyer is asserting, she really screwed herself. And her lawsuit against him will be one of the most epic fails.
Justin said that he agreed to her ridiculous demands because they were so far down with the movie and already over budget because of her. Any stoppage and casting changes would have costed them more money. She wanted the credit and control Justin’s movie!
I appreciate you standing by and hearing out all sides before deciding either side is in the wrong here. I’m reminded of the Depp/Heard trial, just in that similar to Amber’s WaPo op-ed, she claimed to be a victim of a smear campaign, and then ultimately a jury decided that that WAS a smear campaign she instigated. Now that we’re here after that NYT article, I think we’ll see what Baldoni’s defense is and have to just keep an open mind and see how it all plays out. The difference in Depp/Heard was Depp was the bigger star by far. Here, Lively took the big first public shot, on Baldoni who is less influential and has everything to lose. Now I think he will fight this to the end and we’ll have to all read hundreds of pages of catty convos between P.R. people until everyone’s actually deposed
The difference with Heards op ed is that no names were mentioned and there were generic descriptions of various situations of SA she experienced/witnessed through out her left. With the NYT article it’s explicitly stated who it’s about and a laundry list of direct accusations.
I've seen Lively in interviews where she behaves horribly. She's mean, condescending and arrogant. If she doesn't like her public persona, perhaps she could practice being a good person. She's a bully.
I think Taylor and Ryan’s fame went to her head. Blake often came across as being entitled and far too sure of herself. Mocking the Princess of Wales spoke volumes. She didn’t expect the backlash because she thinks she’s adored across the globe. The audacity of that being that she mocked Catherine for filtering a photo when Blake has literally filtered her whole face with plastic surgery.
Why didn't BL file a complaint with SAG? I theorize that since SAG's process is not confidential bc if filed, SAG sends a formal complaint (emphasis on formal) to the producer(s). The producers have a right to know who lodged the complaint bc they have a certain amount of time to resolve the alleged issues. This information is on SAG's site.
No way she wanted SAG involved! First, she pressured/blackmailed for a producer's credit that was not warranted and stripped Jason (she could never have anticipated the duress letter Jamey Heath subsequently submitted which may bury her). Secondly, if Ryan was messing with the script during the strike there would be dire consequences. NOPE! She did it via California Agency because no investigation they would independently conduct could harm her or Ryan's interests.
The discussion around why she would stay if she was being harassed is similar to the discussion why someone might stay in an abusive relationship. There are all kinds of nuance involved, making it hard to leave. But I am NOT suggesting she was an actual victim here or that Baldoni was abusive. It is my suspicion that BL came onto set with DIVA demands and her husband to pressure them into bending to her, and Baldoni fighting back when he needed to to preserve the integrity of the subject matter of the film. BL has a long history of mean-girl behaviour and bullying, tone deafness & racism. She and her husband are problematic.
NY Times suit is to get disclosure not a settlement. Past actions of Lively speak to past PATTERN of bullying behavior of others Interviews I've seen of her support this! & are very much relevant proof to a civil case judgment. Takeover of the film (future rights?), undermining of his future working opportunities, compromise of his standing as being committed to women's issues well before this and humiliating shut out of premiere/credit (pain & suffering) all will be weighed by a jury in their verdict. Expect a massive one for him.
What baffles and angers me is the only time that Sony stepped in at any time was when they gave notes on Blakely‘s dress and wanted her dress to be sexier because her dress the way she was dressed, was not reviewing well. Why would Sony not step in if all these alleged complaints were being made but step in on the fact that a charactercostume was not testing well at all?
Well, we will have to see how this all plays out. In my opinion, if Blake Lively is embellishing and/or lying about the circumstances, she will be ruined just as Amber Heard is ruined.
Does anyone else on the chat think that this self centered behavior isn't uncommon in entertainers? I just think that entertainers are too honored in our society. They aren't heroes. Heroes are parents, teachers, first responders, military, medical teams especially nurses. Yes, even in these groups there are bad people, but for the most part, they are the real heroes.
Absolutely agree. There’s some entertainers that are normal and kind people but unfortunately the environment and atmosphere really brings the worst, it’s honestly sickening sometimes.
I have never idolatrize anybody. I like artists' work, but at the end of the day, they're people just like us. However, we as society idolatrize artists like they're godsend.
But how can she say she couldn't be around him bc he Sexually harassed her when she Continued working with him after she said it happened to Sony? And why did she refuse the intimacy coordinator? , you have to understand she is more famous, more rich, she has more Hollywood status, so she could walked out without losing a penny where Justin invested 5 years into this Project he spent millions, he's not as powerful rich and famous as her so she had the upper hand and she used that to her advantage and she did exactly what her husband did with the Deadpool where he took from the original director so she's not some poor woman that was too scared to speak up, if you see her interviews she is very rude outspoken for herself although she I mean she's not some poor defenceless actress so she wanted to have more say in films and she saw one opportunity and she took from him The reason she did is bc she hijacked the whole movie but her reputation got ruined!
@@sallycinnamon5370 Yes she did. Justin had to take notes during his meeting with the IC and come deliver the information to her. There are text messages in JB's complaint to corroborate that.
@ It doesn’t say that in the text messages. He offers a meet and greet and then says that she declined to work on the scenes with the IC. That is not what was asked to her. Absolute BS and his texts show exactly what he asked her. He didn’t not offer a work session…he offered to let her meet them with NO MENTION of preproduction work shopping which is VERY different. Then the other person doesn’t say we’ll have the IC run her through the plan when we arrive on set. No…”you will have to show her what you guys come up with.” Then he goes and works on the sex scene with her and doesn’t bring the IC with him. At that point there is NO WAY that he thought that she didn’t want to work on the sex scenes and there is no evidence that he offered or that she declined the IC to be there. Shady AF. He is the director. If he was just being lazy and that is what made the situation difficult…then fine. But then he deserved her criticism. He knew and IC should be there and he didn’t bring them…that is on them.
The one thing in her complaint made me very suspicious was that part about him never again mentioning her dead father. Sounds creepy, right? Well, she is a nepo baby, her dad was an actor and acting coach. I bet JB wanted to get on her good side and said something nice about her dad. And she turned it against him.
Yeah, if that got him in trouble I'd be screwed. Sounds like Blake is taking every possible little thing and wanted to turn it into something else. When you put it all together it looks whack. I'm curious what will come of all this because I think BL and RR have dug their heels in.
Peter be real! She didn’t believe in the message she believed in promoting her products that’s why she kept filming the movie that’s why she took control of the movie
If you ever meet ppl at the top of various industries, you discover they didn’t get there by being a good or reasonable people. There are rare exceptions, the Reynolds are not of that category…
Continued abuse required a power imbalance. Without that significant power imbalance, an abusive situation stops pretty quickly. So, I think it’s important to remember that in these types of situations
After watching her interviews with the reporter that congratulated Blake about her bump” and previous interviews I think Blake is totally wrong! She is twisting everything like she did in the interview. IMO!!!
yes and this video ignored this glaring fact. I think this Peter was paid by the Reynolds to make this video as part of their damage control for the Megyn Kelly video.
I’m fairly sure it was in Justin Baldoni’s law suit that he didn’t see that list of complaints until around the same point everyone else did when it was posted at Christmas. And to my understanding the meeting that took place in Ryan R’s condo was mainly about the “fat shaming” complaint that Blake had made and discussed with her husband. I don’t know for certain as I wasn’t there. That’s just what I got from reading both documents fully.
Additionally from the information I’ve read and come across while following this. It seems more that what Baldoni was agreeing to throughout the process of filming was giving Blake and her husband more and more control as Blake was threatening to quit all together otherwise. Baldoni’s text about continuing to take the high road seemed to be more so regarding this and his resolve to get this movie finished and out the best way possible even if he had to make a lot of compromises or more like sacrifices in the creative process more than anything related to SH. When you look at it from that perspective, it makes more sense why she might come out with the list of claims of anything she can twist or frame in a way to make him look bad and herself as a victim in the public’s perception. I think this is why so many people instinctively found the timing of her complaint document coming out as suspicious. It does say something. The initial complaint that was put out by the Times never needed to be seen as factual in any legal sense. What she actually ended up filing could have been different and left out most of those complaints. Of course we don’t know at this point. We can put together all of the information we have and come to some realistic and logical conclusions on some key matters however.
Sony wants to stay on RR’s good side because they have a huge new deal with him to be the star of the new Clue franchise. His production company is making it.
This is all about $$$. Blake and her husband want the rights to the second book. Justin already has those rights and is not willing to sell. #teamJustin
This isn’t getting them the rights. This is about Justin being resentful about not getting the spotlight because of his bad behaviour. His story makes 0 logical sense.
@@sallycinnamon5370 Are you dense? How had he shown that he is resentful. If he was, he would have came out before now and shared how BL had him and his family sent to the basement. How BL made him pay for a cast party for Blake and her friends that he couldn't even attend. He had to pay for a separate party for his friends and family. That is shameful! Blake has more money than him, she could have thrown their own party. She and her beady eyed husband are trash.
I need her to come out and tell everyone SPECIFICALLY what did he do. I'm willing to be wrong and I'm willing to be on her side, but everything she's put out is bogus so far.
Please do watch and share your opinion on Ryan Reynold's own interview with It Ends with Us actor Brandon Sklener. Interestingly, just how is it that Ryan Reynolds and family can joke around and make sexual comedic innuendos towards Brandon Sklener and they don't consider that sexual harrasment ? why was that type of humor acceptable and not offensive to Ryan Reynolds & Brandon Sklener??? How are Reynolds and Blake Lively so righteous and conservative now towards Baldoni?? plzzzzz ........ The double standards and hyprocrisy they represent are an understatement !
I watched a video from the lady who did the bump interview. She had in a young lady cited by Lively as participating in the smear campaign. She said she went to a screening and Justin was lovely. She did a video where she was critical of Lively. As xhe is in the complaint they should be able to call her to refute she was in any kind of smear campaign.
Was this the Nikki tiktok? My pov, it more than her tiktok proved that he was promoting the movie as DV when Blake and others were promoting the movie as instructed in their contract. So not that Nikki participated in the smear campaign (unwillingly imo) but JB knew what he was doing to manipulate the public view where he looks good and Blake looks bad.
@@Rose28rBlake didn’t seem to need help “looking bad” during her interviews for the movie (just a layperson here that saw some of the interviews). Blake lacks insight into the severity of DV, and her style showed that during the interviews.
@rick-grim yeah i agree. She definitely needs better interview skills, but it doesn't mean it should discredit everything she claims because she lacks the skills. I am looking forward to seeing the truth.
He literally SAID why he allowed her to take over the movie...because she threatened bottom promote the movie etc and it would of cost him millions of dollars, years of wasted time, and a severed relationship with Sony.
Please explain to me, why she didn’t file against him in the first place? Could it be that she didnt want to sit for deposition, under oath? Her goal was to attack his reputation, ruin his career while thinking that she could add the *DV* survivor to her resume, just like she insisted on receiving a producer credit without being qualified and not doing any of the work. She’s went fired the costume designer and refused to talk with the intimacy coordinator, which Justin proved. As for all the crew and other actors, they all look she’ll shocked in interviews because they know how toxic and mean she is, and not wanting to go up against her and Ryan. They knew they would be blacklisted and would never work again in the industry. Her motive is completely clear. She wants the power. You don’t act in a Woody Allen film, think he’s a genius and be friends with Harvey Weinstein, and cry SA . She is the aggressor.
I bet in hindsight JB would have let BL part ways when he was accused of “fat shaming” by asking his trainer if he could safely lift her during said scene due to his back condition, not to mention when BL said they could rehearse lines as she was pumping. No one in their right mind would consider her inviting him in the trailer during her pumping as SH.
That’s the different from BL from Justin. His idea was to put out a good movie to move people’s heart in which he invested 5 years. Her idea was to destroy a men’s career for her to emerge as producer, writer and protagonist……. She is a selfish Narcissist. He has so much evidence and people is coming forward showing I believe he will win and continue with his uprising career bc of his character, he is real, honest, kind. BL does have money but in reality she is nobody reliable as a professional in Hollywood.
This movie wasn’t close to what it’s like to experience DV. No woman would leave like that, just one easy conversation after the HUGE emotion you feel after having a baby? Nope… she would have gone back, thought he would be kind because of the baby…. If she REALLY wanted to leave, she would need to take huge precautions. I’ve been there.. My daughter nearly died from DV and is permanently disabled. This movie just pissed those of us who have been through this off. Blake’s just a greedy, ugly rich girl. She’s not even a good actress!
Exactly. Leaving is the most dangerous time of all in a DV situation...it takes careful and safe planning to do so without being hurt (or even killed).
And yes he would be kind at first because of the.m baby, but really as manipulation. And then the DV would either creep back in, or come full force after being just kind enough to manipulate the other into staying, enough to manipulate the other into believing it wouldn't happen again, etc.
Content creators who made videos about Blake have come out and said it had nothing to do with Baldoni. They did it in their own volition, because they were upset about the promotion of the film, and how she used it to promote her alcohol brand.
Let’s be honest, you are a no-name actor suddenly pulled into that conflict between a „small“ director and some people really big in the business that start to flatter you and you are suddenly „seeing the big money“… what would you do?
Oh please. Blake would have absolutely said something earlier. Shes just mad because she has been exposed for being a mean woman through her own behavior and interviews.
Exactly Peter. FL paralegal here. And like my former boss would always say. 'you have Duty and Breach with Causation being the bridge between the 2....i dont get this and from what I've heard so far, would not even want to watch this trial.
I don't think Team Blake expected Team Justin to fight back...I bet she was surprised...
Of course not. He was bullied during production, post production, and release of the film. They expected him to lay down like the dog they treated him like for the past year and a half. He had enough after the lies told on the NYT article. Good for him for finally sticking up for himself.
this was bullying to get film rights.@@WarlordRising
I believed her At First I WAS team Blake.
But.. She cried wolf to us and Ryan. He defended her. Now Ryan will see the Full text of Blake inviting Justin to her trailer While Nursing!! He’s going to be mad at her for making him look like a fool.
@Here4TheTEA40well he left his wife for Blake Lively ...now he will know what is the price of doing wrong.
Exactly. They saw him as nice pool
I dont think the public is split. Its 80/20 in favor of Justin.
Oh, oh Blake, wake up.
No one should be deciding yet, its not in court, this is JUST the begining.
It depends on which side of the internet you're on, really. I'm personally in favor of Justin because his team has clearly been more transparent with evidence while Blake's side has edited theirs heavily. But a lot of people are on her side because they don't even know he countered.
No
@@josephgabriel2336You think there's NO evidence? Then you clearly haven't been paying ANY attention lol
Piled on the hate campaign against princess Catherine while she was being treated for cancer, the same treatment of Leighton meester, interviewer were treated with disdain and belittled, these are the things I don’t like her for. Add this debacle and it aligns with her being a nasty piece of work, imo
As a DV survivor and a sexual assault victim/survivor when the pr was going on for this movie the way Blake Lively and cast were promoting it was absolutely horrible. It was extremely off putting and I haven’t even wanted to watch the movie. The backlash was a lot of people like myself didn’t like the way they were promoting it.
I'm so that happened to you and as a survivor myself, I found the promo tour be misguided. Even the author had the gall to push her nail polish and coloring books. Talk abt entrenched ignorance.
I've been thinking about people in your situation a lot throughout all of this. The mockery she made of it must be hurtful, and that sucks. I'm sorry ❤
Exactly same for me. It made me feel sick and inadvertently belittled
And the privilege now just maker it even grosser to me
I’m so sorry you had to live through that. I cannot imagine how hard it must’ve been and I hope you find joy and happiness for the rest of your life. ❤ I have never experienced DV myself but my sister did and the promo was all about Blake nothing about the message of the movie. 😢
I watched the interviews. Blake did this to herself and now she is trying to fix her and her husband's reputation. With all of the texts her team lef out that clears up the conversation and his team shows the rest. I believe Justin
In other words, “I believe in men”!? 🙄
@@cheswick1057believe this man. Women can lie too.
@cheswick1057 this situation doesn't represent all men or all women.
The original poster references reasons for believing the man in this case.
This is not a men vs women fight.
@cheswick1057 ...this time I do.
She was told to promote it that way. 🤦🏻♀️
Don’t forget to wear your florals to “ It ends with Court”! 😂😂😂
I was so confused about florals representing DV, because I couldn't find anything about florals as a generic. It seems like "florals" is a giant target for identifying potential victims when they may want to wear a small item of support/representation. My understanding from those who do work with those in the DV community, keeping the low profile or no profile is a high priority.
@@CatInWonderlands "Wear your florals" wasn't deeper than that Blake's character "Lily Blossom Bloom" owns a flower shop in the movie. That was it. No deep meaning, no representation of DV, nothing.
@@CatInWonderlandsit wasn’t to do with DV. She completely ignored that issue. It was a reference to her character. Also, I thing it was her way of gaslighting people to see the film as they might not have gone if they knew it was about DV. She tried to make people think it was a romantic movie to get bums on seats IMO
@@CatInWonderlandsit was to try and show support for the character, Lily. It was just not excecuted well, but the cast and Blake were under contract from Sony to do that.

She was literally told to promote the movie that way. 🤦🏻♀️
The reason why it was a problem with Ryan Reynolds writing a part of the script is because there was a writers strike at that time! There might be other reasons too, but that’s a huge one.
This! And even if Ryan didn't break strike rules (which i believe he did), it still looks bad for them bc it's not his project.
He a total scab and a complete asshole! No wonder they’re together.
One of the reasons yes
That's interesting. I hadn't realised it was during the strike.
Ryan has a high school education. Has he ever been credited as a writer of anything?
As someone who has followed Justin on social media since covid and seeing his values I can’t for a second believe he intentionally caused harm or distress . This just what happens when the “elite” don’t get their way 🤷♀️
I completely agree. Like maybe if he had a string of accusers coming out with some solid proof, I’d believe it but that’s not what we have here. I very much doubt all of his actions and social media is faked.
Blake and her husband are bullies.
Of course Justin Baldoni is responding aggressively - he’s being accused of serious sexual predation. His career is over if he doesn’t fight back.
As opposed to mild sexual predation?
And it might already be over. If it turned out everything Lively alleged was untrue, he doesn’t have the leverage like Depp to come back, especially since it seems like he comes off as self important to some people in the business (at least according to his publicist)
I hope Baldoni gets everything!!
Same
Ya, hope he gets everything that’s coming to him for smearing her and sexually harassing her.
The fact is, she was not at the movie for the right reasons. She never really spoke about what the movie was about. Instead, she was promoting her brand
Hair carer and drinks.
Exactly. And that hair care line was criminal. People also have terrible reviews for the alcohol. And considering she doesn't drink and alcohol's role in many domestic violence cases makes it a terrible project to promote it during the PR tour. Very selfish, tone def, greedy and completely lacking empathy. It makes me think she isn't very intelligent because it just doesn't give good optics, even if she doesn't actually care about anything but money, it's a bad branding move. I wonder if anyone gave her advice that it was in poor taste?
What it really a fact or just your opinion?
Agreed. Wrong person for this movie
What makes it worse, the author started promoting her nail polish as Blake promoted her stuff. I couldn’t believe how these two could be so tone-deaf.
🤔 Judging from the comments section here, the public doesn't seem to be too split. Seems like more people are team Justin.
Which is WILD. Why would you pick a side when there are still so many questions!
@@jackielehman8945
They are completely ignoring her side. It’s ridiculous.
Let’s not forget that Ryan used his fame, wealth and power to bully his way to getting the Deadpool franchise and now Blake wants her own franchise and chose this movie to do the same to Justin… this is also why Colleen (or whatever that traitor is who wrote the books) sided with Blake because she thought she would make more money with Ryan and Blake on her side than Justin.
Colleen is as horrible as her books. Only a terrible person can publish that brain rot of books and not feel ashamed of themselves.
That is so dark and evil and disgusting behaviour. I wouldn't even be able to do such a thing just to gain profit from something for myself
The author was also the one who wanted Blake to be the lead actress .
@phuongthaolee4100 perhaps the writer and Blake were friends already. .
@@1282louiseI know too many people who are that way, who bully their way with no sympathy or empathy for others.
Justin and wayfarer own the film rights to the second book / sequel . I think Blake’s lawsuit is an overall attempt to get the rights to make that movie and push Justin and Wayfarer out.
Yeah because Ryan did this on Deadpool and the director quit too
i don’t think you know how lawsuits work.
The result of this isn’t getting film rights. LOL
It doesn’t even make sense just you are mindlessly parroting this dude that you don’t even know. Stop embarrassing yourself
@ do you not think film rights could be part of a settlement or part of some sort of back channel agreement to drop the lawsuit ?
I’m not sure why you feel the need to be so rude when replying to me, but to say that rights to a film could not be part of a civil lawsuit means YOU dont know how lawsuits work, not me. 😘
@@V23325 it's no secret this is about the sequels. Justin already said he wasn't doing the sequels with her. They want to hurt him because he wouldn't quit and give them the rights to the sequels. He probably refused to sell to them. I personally don't get why BL and RR didn't just look for another novel, invest in it, make a movie etc and just leave JB alone
V23325 is stating facts.
i can't imagine an actor wrestling control over a director's artistic vision, even releasing an alternative cut. I hope Baldini gets tons of millions.
Blake was not about the cause at all! She was self absorbed, it was all about her! She was careless in how she promoted a movie about DV!
It seems very obvious to me what occurred here. Blake Lively is extremely unpopular with the public particularly when clips of her were released of her obnoxious behaviour and treatment of others so she threw this poor, lesser known actor under the bus in a way that could have destroyed his career and reputation to take the attention off her. I'm glad she is being exposed, I hope he is publicly vindicated.
🎯🎯🎯
100% true. I was turned off by BL from her previous behavior/clips before JB was even involved. She’s missing this entirely.
I think it's far too soon to say, personally. Things said by both sides are somewhat problematic. I'm interested, but way too soon for me to even consider passing judgement.
She was the harasser.
True. She could have used this movie to improve her image and career, yet she chose this route.
I hope and pray for Justin B win all his lawsuists, the abuse of power of the Reynolds is disgusting make me feel bad every time i heard all the damage against this man 😢
I hope he never works again. Seems like a skeezebag.
When I found out the association with Scooter Braun that solidified it for me.
I hope not much weight is spent on whether Justin is not liked by the cast or not.
In my 65 years I cannot stress enough how many times people have ganged up on people in the work force. It could be the person is quirky, conceited, frustrating etc. It could also be that people want to naturally gravitate to and be seen with the more powerful and important person, who in this case will be Blake!
99% of the times people have created lies just to support there poor behaviour.
Being annoying isn’t a crime.
Same here, Terri. I've seen the high school clique-ish behavior in many work spaces. With the advent of social media, it's gotten even worse. The story about Justin is not uncommon.
Exactly! We’ve seen it time and time again haven’t we. It’s not just a school thing.
Absolutely correct. This dynamic can be traced back to the playground as well. Some people never outgrow being mean. It's sad.
@ Agree! It is so sad.
False allegations should be a crime
If BL was truly SH, wouldn’t it feel more true to her to promote it for what it was? And not looking all cute, making fashion statements and treating it like a RomCom
Don't forget prioritising promoting her alcohol and hair care lines when she was supposed to be promoting the movie
💯
If Justin was truly exiled to the basement for no good reason either than BL hijacking the movie- it feels crminal.
In my experience, the objective is to demoralize the target. BL and RR are cruel and disgusting.
But how can she say she couldn't be around him bc he Sexually harassed her when she Continued working with him after she said it happened to Sony? And why did she refuse the intimacy coordinator?
, you have to understand she is more famous, more rich, she has more Hollywood status, so she could walked out without losing a penny where Justin invested 5 years into this Project he spent millions, he's not as powerful rich and famous as her so she had the upper hand and she used that to her advantage and she did exactly what her husband did with the Deadpool where he took from the original director so she's not some poor woman that was too scared to speak up, if you see her interviews she is very rude outspoken for herself although she I mean she's not some poor defenceless actress so she wanted to have more say in films and she saw one opportunity and she took from him
The reason she did is bc she hijacked the whole movie but her reputation got ruined!
Sounds like he agreed to go to the basement because he was a bad boy. Then he was resentful he wasn’t reaper the rewards of the movie succeeding so he tried a smear campaign…now that she outed him and has proof is trying to justify his smear campaign.
He could have publicly criticized her but chose not to. He changed PR teams because the first wouldn’t do it.
Agree
@@sallycinnamon5370 I think you’re on the wrong thread!
Team JB all the way. Shame on BL and RR. So shocking they can manipulate the industry. It doesn't matter if JB wins. He has already won the publics vote. Can you believe the power they have placing the Producer/Director in the basement. Did the rest of the cast know. Wow if they did and blindly went along with this then shame on them as well. BL and RR so shocking. Honestly words can not express how awful a person has to be to do this to another. JB stay strong.

I do think this entire situation could/should have been handled privately. Bad look all the way around, but then, I liked the everybody’s fashion in the movie so take it as you will.
@ I respect that 💯 Just not my taste in the slightest. But then again, I am from the west coast and hated the clothes & shoes in SATC😹😹
Did you like the movie?
@mariaparkinson8150 I did not like the clothes. I just like the party black dress.
@ I did. I wasn’t knocked over by any means, lesson or not. It was an interesting diversion no piece of art, but I saw it all the way through. Like watching Castle, I enjoyed it, but I’ve had brain surgery back in 2010 so…
From what we have seen regarding Blake's choices even the Justin cut that we have won't be what he envisioned seeing as she made so many changes while they were filming.
This started with Blake Lively NYT blasting Justin . So then Justin Lawyer is taking on NYT which they should . Have Right Defend yourself especially when she put it in NYT . Seriously?
So doesn’t seem to be started by Justin .
I think this is ridiculous especially telling Justin can’t come to the premier of movie that he directed and star in as male actor .
I am a DV survivor and work in DV, mental health and addictions for my local government. And Blake's laissez faire promotion of film about such a serious subject matter was tone deaf and insensitive. I was very put off by it. And because of her behaviour in the press tour, I had no interest in seeing the movie at all.
I do not believe that Blake was desperately abused.. she wealthier and more powerful AND SHE HAD HER HUSBAND WITH HER!
I believe Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds want the rights to the second book and they think that they can get it this way.
@@beverlyw6881 It's depressing to watch big money and power run over Baldoni even if he's not perfect.
@@leslieacoca5876 Yes! If they manipulate and bully Justin Baldoni et al who has a modest amount of clout in Hollywood, imagine how awful they are to people less than him. I'll bet there are hundreds of people with stories to tell.
Blake could use that argument but Justin’s actions before they even had a cast prove that he really did believe in it and want to tell the story. He read the book and bought the rights in 2019. From the very beginning he wanted to do justice to survivors and those currently going through something similar. You can tell this by the way he promoted it.
And it's all on his Instagram.....❤
Most disappointed in the abject failure of the NYT to exercise due diligence in their reporting.
Publishing unsubstantiated claims as news because they were too busy chasing clicks.
Edited: spelling
Journalists are lazy these days, that’s why they are an unreliable source of information…
I think this will all end in a divorce between Blake and Ryan. She honestly reminds me of Amber Heard, full of histrionics: exaggerating everything for attention, "he fat shamed me," " he sexually harassed me." I wouldn't be surprised if she was diagnosed with borderline disorder personality as well.
Absolutely. My mother had histrionic personality disorder, it’s a lifetime sentence to hell for everyone else. People with untreated personality disorders cause huge societal harm and yet this is never addressed or even discussed at a significant level ?
BL is just like Amber. Both mean girls.
Do you think they will divorce? If think they seem like very solid, two peas in a pod. I don't think they'll divorce. I think Ryan is quite scary and can be a wolf in sheep clothing.
Blake reminds me of Heard in that sense you mention, but I think Heard is much more explosive and intense and an other level of abusive. Blake remind me much more about Meghan Markle.
i doubt it’ll end in divorce, i feel like blake lively and ryan reynolds are perfectly happy being among the hollywood elite, supporting and enabling each other’s behaviors. and while this has been damaging to lively’s career/reputation, it’s just going to be a blip in ryan reynolds’.
I don't think that it will end in divorce, her taking over the movie is giving very similar vibes of Ryan doing the same with Deadpool around the same time.
What I WANT to see is Blake Lively’s sexual harassment complaint to HR after the harassment allegedly happened or documentation that corroborated her claim of sexual harassment. Also, are you telling me that she was sexually harassed but didn’t complaint about it to the studio when her husband is Ryan Reynolds. Heck, if she were sexually harassed she would have made h3ll about it due to her husband’s standing. Her claims are just not credible.
Need to add Ryan was on the set of It Ends with Us.
Incredible that Justin’s lawyer comes with a trail of receipts documenting how Justin was being bullied by Blake & hijacking his movie & there are people who still think that it might still be possible that Justin SH Blake?!? She had ALL the power. She never states that Justin was making ANY or repeated advances or suggestions. And, her lawsuit confirms that the alleged offensive behavior ceased once all parties agreed. If the accused is not hitting on you or objectifying you, the offenses are not repeated, and the accused holds no power & is being bullied by the “victim”, then it’s NOT SH.
Johnny Depp had all the power (age, wealth, influence) over Amber Heard and people believe he was victimised. I’ll wait for the trials since all lawyers are going to withhold information that doesn’t look good for their clients.
i havent seen that the public is split. it definitely seems the majority seems to be leaning to supporting justin.
The argument that BL stayed on despite the s*xual harassment because she believed in the cause is easily debunked by her lacked efforts to speak about DV during the promotion of the movie. She instead chose to promote her hair care line and alcohol brand. It’s very insensitive.
Blake Lively is no victim. Her and Ryan always had the upper hand in this production and in Hollywood. None of what she said rings true. I felt from day one, that there had to be so much more to this story. Her reputation and personality just don’t vibe with someone who would let this happen. Some people just can’t look at this objectively because they want to support women, but this makes it actually worse for real victims. I hope he gets redeemed.
You made a snap judgement that she is lying. Why can’t you make that same snap judgement against him? What’s your bias?
Any woman who believes woman allegations just because they are women are naive, and ignorant. They sound like they are twelve years old. Justin already provided texts, a screen shot and context to Blake's allegation and Justin's attorney will be suing BL, RR, her publicist and his former publicist and providing all documents, many more texts and emails proving that Blake's allegations are false. Blake's lawsuit after her complaint has no evidence against Justin. In law, you need evidence.
@Frisco42 none of what she said rings true? His lawyer literally confirmed there was a meeting where JB signed the list of requirements she indicated in her lawsuit. Almost all the points listed in her lawsuit regarding the harassment could be proven with the video evidences, so let's see, shall we? And regarding the retaliation and the smear campaign, it is already proven and all the hate comments here are evidences that it was wildly successful.
Why would someone do a PR stunt that could literally ruin their career (Baldoni). And he is just responding to her claims, she is the one that started all.od this.
Blake's lawsuit is very telling. It focuses heavily on how Justin's team allegedly used PR to damage her image as a way to discredit her, suggesting that by ruining her reputation, people would be less likely to believe her sexual abuse allegations against Justin. This makes her lawsuit seem more centered on the negative press she received during the movie’s press tour rather than on addressing or speaking out against sexual abuse itself.
If she truly experienced the sexual misconduct she alleges, she likely wouldn’t focus on blaming Justin for the backlash. Her priority would presumably be addressing the misconduct itself, rather than trying to tie him to the negative press.
This is about ego and control. Allegedly, Lively took artistic licence piece by piece then delivered an alternative Final Cut to Boldoni’s.
Ryan also rewrote scenes in the script, and would insert some of his own control during production. This is why most work places avoid having couples working in the same space. It gets messy AF.
I have yet to see ANY evidence of sexual harassment that blake suffered. Edited texts from his PR team don't cut it. They're not even texts from him. Justin lost representation, lost an award, all because of Blake's accusation. So if anyone has been defamed and has the receipts so far, it's definitely Justin.
Justin not only lost his reputation and name, his award, and management representation, he has potential income loss from the sequel to it ends with us. We are talking millions and millions of dollars.
I’m so curious to see how this plays out. I just have a feeling that Blake and Ryan miscalculated and underestimated Justin. Possibly assuming he was this fake feminist who didn’t actually care about women’s DV, and also assuming he was talking crap about her all the time behind her back, trying to ruin her. And so now seeing that Justin apparently really did care about female survivors and that he wasn’t being vindictive behind the scenes and trying to ruin her reputation, Blake has to be slowly dying on the inside. If his texts and other communications only show what his lawyer is asserting, she really screwed herself. And her lawsuit against him will be one of the most epic fails.
If anyone has ANY doubts, look at the press junkets for the film. You don't have to dig that deep.
Justin said that he agreed to her ridiculous demands because they were so far down with the movie and already over budget because of her. Any stoppage and casting changes would have costed them more money. She wanted the credit and control Justin’s movie!
Team Justin from day one…always have and unless some earth shattering TRUTH comes out about Justin I always will be!!!xoxoxo
I appreciate you standing by and hearing out all sides before deciding either side is in the wrong here. I’m reminded of the Depp/Heard trial, just in that similar to Amber’s WaPo op-ed, she claimed to be a victim of a smear campaign, and then ultimately a jury decided that that WAS a smear campaign she instigated. Now that we’re here after that NYT article, I think we’ll see what Baldoni’s defense is and have to just keep an open mind and see how it all plays out. The difference in Depp/Heard was Depp was the bigger star by far. Here, Lively took the big first public shot, on Baldoni who is less influential and has everything to lose. Now I think he will fight this to the end and we’ll have to all read hundreds of pages of catty convos between P.R. people until everyone’s actually deposed
The difference with Heards op ed is that no names were mentioned and there were generic descriptions of various situations of SA she experienced/witnessed through out her left. With the NYT article it’s explicitly stated who it’s about and a laundry list of direct accusations.
I've seen Lively in interviews where she behaves horribly. She's mean, condescending and arrogant. If she doesn't like her public persona, perhaps she could practice being a good person. She's a bully.
Since when does an actress have a right to edit a movie? Blake seriously crossed a line there.
I think Taylor and Ryan’s fame went to
her head. Blake often came across as being entitled and far too sure of herself. Mocking the Princess of Wales spoke volumes. She didn’t expect the backlash because she thinks she’s adored across the globe. The audacity of that being that she mocked Catherine for filtering a photo when Blake has literally filtered her whole face with plastic surgery.
Why didn't BL file a complaint with SAG? I theorize that since SAG's process is not confidential bc if filed, SAG sends a formal complaint (emphasis on formal) to the producer(s). The producers have a right to know who lodged the complaint bc they have a certain amount of time to resolve the alleged issues. This information is on SAG's site.
No way she wanted SAG involved! First, she pressured/blackmailed for a producer's credit that was not warranted and stripped Jason (she could never have anticipated the duress letter Jamey Heath subsequently submitted which may bury her). Secondly, if Ryan was messing with the script during the strike there would be dire consequences. NOPE! She did it via California Agency because no investigation they would independently conduct could harm her or Ryan's interests.
Ryan Reynolds nuked his hard-earned fame and career over his talentless narcissistic spouse..such a shame.
He did this on Deadpool and his director quit. Don't be fooled. He is the one pushing this
A malignant narcissist married to a covert narcissist imo…divorce incoming is my prediction.
@@lynnd.5135 easy fact check shows that this is wrong no matter how many time you post it
@@The_Winters_Soldier well look it up why Tim Miller left Deadpool
Agreed. Ryan is finished! They will be considered as LEPERS! In Hollywood…
I think if Justin said he did it for the cause, I would believe it. If Blake said the same thing, I would call BS.
The discussion around why she would stay if she was being harassed is similar to the discussion why someone might stay in an abusive relationship. There are all kinds of nuance involved, making it hard to leave. But I am NOT suggesting she was an actual victim here or that Baldoni was abusive. It is my suspicion that BL came onto set with DIVA demands and her husband to pressure them into bending to her, and Baldoni fighting back when he needed to to preserve the integrity of the subject matter of the film. BL has a long history of mean-girl behaviour and bullying, tone deafness & racism. She and her husband are problematic.
NY Times suit is to get disclosure not a settlement. Past actions of Lively speak to past PATTERN of bullying behavior of others Interviews I've seen of her support this! & are very much relevant proof to a civil case judgment. Takeover of the film (future rights?), undermining of his future working opportunities, compromise of his standing as being committed to women's issues well before this and humiliating shut out of premiere/credit (pain & suffering) all will be weighed by a jury in their verdict. Expect a massive one for him.
Yes and people had 48+ hours after she filed her suit to come out of the woodwork with similar stories about him. They did not!
What baffles and angers me is the only time that Sony stepped in at any time was when they gave notes on Blakely‘s dress and wanted her dress to be sexier because her dress the way she was dressed, was not reviewing well. Why would Sony not step in if all these alleged complaints were being made but step in on the fact that a charactercostume was not testing well at all?
I think she sent him to the basement because she wanted the spotlight on her. Sexual harassment is an excuse she used. Horrific!😮
Well, we will have to see how this all plays out. In my opinion, if Blake Lively is embellishing and/or lying about the circumstances, she will be ruined just as Amber Heard is ruined.
These high profile women lying, gaslighting, exaggerating and bullying others are ruining it for all the genuine victims/survivors.
THIS. It really makes me sick. But it goes to show that the power imbalance isn't always working against the woman in the situation.
Does anyone else on the chat think that this self centered behavior isn't uncommon in entertainers?
I just think that entertainers are too honored in our society. They aren't heroes. Heroes are parents, teachers, first responders, military, medical teams especially nurses. Yes, even in these groups there are bad people, but for the most part, they are the real heroes.
👏👏👏
Absolutely agree. There’s some entertainers that are normal and kind people but unfortunately the environment and atmosphere really brings the worst, it’s honestly sickening sometimes.
I have never idolatrize anybody. I like artists' work, but at the end of the day, they're people just like us. However, we as society idolatrize artists like they're godsend.
This is why I was so dubious about the allegations by BL. Sexual harassment is about power. BL and RR have so much money and power.
But how can she say she couldn't be around him bc he Sexually harassed her when she Continued working with him after she said it happened to Sony? And why did she refuse the intimacy coordinator?

What are you even talking about?
@@sallycinnamon5370 Yes she did. Justin had to take notes during his meeting with the IC and come deliver the information to her. There are text messages in JB's complaint to corroborate that.
@ It doesn’t say that in the text messages. He offers a meet and greet and then says that she declined to work on the scenes with the IC. That is not what was asked to her. Absolute BS and his texts show exactly what he asked her. He didn’t not offer a work session…he offered to let her meet them with NO MENTION of preproduction work shopping which is VERY different. Then the other person doesn’t say we’ll have the IC run her through the plan when we arrive on set. No…”you will have to show her what you guys come up with.”
Then he goes and works on the sex scene with her and doesn’t bring the IC with him. At that point there is NO WAY that he thought that she didn’t want to work on the sex scenes and there is no evidence that he offered or that she declined the IC to be there. Shady AF.
He is the director. If he was just being lazy and that is what made the situation difficult…then fine. But then he deserved her criticism. He knew and IC should be there and he didn’t bring them…that is on them.
Spot on.
@sallycinnamon5370 She did
The one thing in her complaint made me very suspicious was that part about him never again mentioning her dead father. Sounds creepy, right? Well, she is a nepo baby, her dad was an actor and acting coach. I bet JB wanted to get on her good side and said something nice about her dad. And she turned it against him.
She's a pathological liar,
Yeah, if that got him in trouble I'd be screwed. Sounds like Blake is taking every possible little thing and wanted to turn it into something else. When you put it all together it looks whack. I'm curious what will come of all this because I think BL and RR have dug their heels in.
Peter be real! She didn’t believe in the message she believed in promoting her products that’s why she kept filming the movie that’s why she took control of the movie
The fact is, it’s his movie. She blocked him from his movie and taking credit for it!
This is heartbreaking. How did she get away with this shit??
If you ever meet ppl at the top of various industries, you discover they didn’t get there by being a good or reasonable people. There are rare exceptions, the Reynolds are not of that category…
Money and power
The ‘crew’ was provably kept in the dark about her fake allegations and they had no choice but to believe her!
I believe Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds want the rights to the second book and they think that they can get it this way.
Justice for Justin Baldoni.😢
Blake lively and Ryan Reynolds are trying to destroy him.😢
They are truly evil
Continued abuse required a power imbalance. Without that significant power imbalance, an abusive situation stops pretty quickly. So, I think it’s important to remember that in these types of situations
After watching her interviews with the reporter that congratulated Blake about her bump” and previous interviews I think Blake is totally wrong! She is twisting everything like she did in the interview. IMO!!!
Blake does not come across as a reliable narrator…a psych evaluation may be needed, she appears to have highly distorted/disordered thinking
😂😂 @@Cat999-cz7kf
She’s disgraceful.
I heard she didn't even read the book prior to making the movie. But I don't know that is what his lawyer said.
yes and this video ignored this glaring fact. I think this Peter was paid by the Reynolds to make this video as part of their damage control for the Megyn Kelly video.
Thanks Peter brilliant as always
I’m fairly sure it was in Justin Baldoni’s law suit that he didn’t see that list of complaints until around the same point everyone else did when it was posted at Christmas. And to my understanding the meeting that took place in Ryan R’s condo was mainly about the “fat shaming” complaint that Blake had made and discussed with her husband. I don’t know for certain as I wasn’t there. That’s just what I got from reading both documents fully.
Additionally from the information I’ve read and come across while following this. It seems more that what Baldoni was agreeing to throughout the process of filming was giving Blake and her husband more and more control as Blake was threatening to quit all together otherwise. Baldoni’s text about continuing to take the high road seemed to be more so regarding this and his resolve to get this movie finished and out the best way possible even if he had to make a lot of compromises or more like sacrifices in the creative process more than anything related to SH. When you look at it from that perspective, it makes more sense why she might come out with the list of claims of anything she can twist or frame in a way to make him look bad and herself as a victim in the public’s perception. I think this is why so many people instinctively found the timing of her complaint document coming out as suspicious. It does say something. The initial complaint that was put out by the Times never needed to be seen as factual in any legal sense. What she actually ended up filing could have been different and left out most of those complaints. Of course we don’t know at this point. We can put together all of the information we have and come to some realistic and logical conclusions on some key matters however.
His lawyer just said during the interview that JB reviewed the list of requirements on the meeting with Ryan Reynolds present.
JB allowed BL to take more control bc Sony conceded to her too. Sony has the most power here.
Sony wants to stay on RR’s good side because they have a huge new deal with him to be the star of the new Clue franchise. His production company is making it.
@kelli6466 Exactly! Which is why I blame Sony primarily. Which begs the question: Why hasn't BL sued them too? We know why she didn't.
@@shortyp1000why hasn’t Justin sued Sony for forcing him out is more the question. Is Blake got more power it was because Sony agreed to it.
This is all about $$$. Blake and her husband want the rights to the second book. Justin already has those rights and is not willing to sell.
#teamJustin
This isn’t getting them the rights.
This is about Justin being resentful about not getting the spotlight because of his bad behaviour. His story makes 0 logical sense.
@@sallycinnamon5370ahhhh so he acted bad on set -
@@sallycinnamon5370Blake, you can sign out, I can see your straw-like hair sticking out
@@sim-b No, this person is a bot. BL and RR want to bankrupt JB so that they can get the rights to the sequel.
@@sallycinnamon5370 Are you dense? How had he shown that he is resentful. If he was, he would have came out before now and shared how BL had him and his family sent to the basement. How BL made him pay for a cast party for Blake and her friends that he couldn't even attend. He had to pay for a separate party for his friends and family. That is shameful! Blake has more money than him, she could have thrown their own party. She and her beady eyed husband are trash.
Blake Lively = Amber Heard
Having Ryan Reynolds Mint Mobile ads popping up on this is kinda funny. 😅
I've long gotten tired of his phony schtick and blocked the ads
I need her to come out and tell everyone SPECIFICALLY what did he do. I'm willing to be wrong and I'm willing to be on her side, but everything she's put out is bogus so far.
So you just didn’t bother to read the lawsuit?
Blake is a mean girl. Totally a bully. I don't believe her.
I love this lawyer Bryan Freedman, he's doing a great job.
Please do watch and share your opinion on Ryan Reynold's own interview with It Ends with Us actor Brandon Sklener. Interestingly, just how is it that Ryan Reynolds and family can joke around and make sexual comedic innuendos towards Brandon Sklener and they don't consider that sexual harrasment ? why was that type of humor acceptable and not offensive to Ryan Reynolds & Brandon Sklener??? How are Reynolds and Blake Lively so righteous and conservative now towards Baldoni?? plzzzzz ........ The double standards and hyprocrisy they represent are an understatement !
I fully believe Justin all the way. Have you seen the interviews with BL? She is another Amber Heard
I watched a video from the lady who did the bump interview. She had in a young lady cited by Lively as participating in the smear campaign. She said she went to a screening and Justin was lovely. She did a video where she was critical of Lively. As xhe is in the complaint they should be able to call her to refute she was in any kind of smear campaign.
Was this the Nikki tiktok? My pov, it more than her tiktok proved that he was promoting the movie as DV when Blake and others were promoting the movie as instructed in their contract.
So not that Nikki participated in the smear campaign (unwillingly imo) but JB knew what he was doing to manipulate the public view where he looks good and Blake looks bad.
Oh she knows exactly what she is doing. Did the same thing to Anne Hathaway years ago.
@@Rose28rBlake didn’t seem to need help “looking bad” during her interviews for the movie (just a layperson here that saw some of the interviews). Blake lacks insight into the severity of DV, and her style showed that during the interviews.
Blake is the manipulator and she lied about Justin.
@rick-grim yeah i agree. She definitely needs better interview skills, but it doesn't mean it should discredit everything she claims because she lacks the skills.
I am looking forward to seeing the truth.
I reaaally need Camilla V to stop by court and roast Blake like she did Amber 🎉
You are my favorite! You are a calming, kind presence!! Thank you for doing what you do!! ❤❤❤
He literally SAID why he allowed her to take over the movie...because she threatened bottom promote the movie etc and it would of cost him millions of dollars, years of wasted time, and a severed relationship with Sony.
Please explain to me, why she didn’t file against him in the first place? Could it be that she didnt want to sit for deposition, under oath? Her goal was to attack his reputation, ruin his career while thinking that she could add the *DV* survivor to her resume, just like she insisted on receiving a producer credit without being qualified and not doing any of the work. She’s went fired the costume designer and refused to talk with the intimacy coordinator, which Justin proved. As for all the crew and other actors, they all look she’ll shocked in interviews because they know how toxic and mean she is, and not wanting to go up against her and Ryan. They knew they would be blacklisted and would never work again in the industry. Her motive is completely clear. She wants the power. You don’t act in a Woody Allen film, think he’s a genius and be friends with Harvey Weinstein, and cry SA . She is the aggressor.
We are impressed with your command of law and your integrity.😇
I bet in hindsight JB would have let BL part ways when he was accused of “fat shaming” by asking his trainer if he could safely lift her during said scene due to his back condition, not to mention when BL said they could rehearse lines as she was pumping. No one in their right mind would consider her inviting him in the trailer during her pumping as SH.
That’s the different from BL from Justin. His idea was to put out a good movie to move people’s heart in which he invested 5 years. Her idea was to destroy a men’s career for her to emerge as producer, writer and protagonist……. She is a selfish Narcissist.
He has so much evidence and people is coming forward showing
I believe he will win and continue with his uprising career bc of his character, he is real, honest, kind.
BL does have money but in reality she is nobody reliable as a professional in Hollywood.
Another great video!
This movie wasn’t close to what it’s like to experience DV. No woman would leave like that, just one easy conversation after the HUGE emotion you feel after having a baby? Nope… she would have gone back, thought he would be kind because of the baby…. If she REALLY wanted to leave, she would need to take huge precautions. I’ve been there.. My daughter nearly died from DV and is permanently disabled. This movie just pissed those of us who have been through this off. Blake’s just a greedy, ugly rich girl. She’s not even a good actress!
Exactly. Leaving is the most dangerous time of all in a DV situation...it takes careful and safe planning to do so without being hurt (or even killed).
And yes he would be kind at first because of the.m baby, but really as manipulation. And then the DV would either creep back in, or come full force after being just kind enough to manipulate the other into staying, enough to manipulate the other into believing it wouldn't happen again, etc.
Content creators who made videos about Blake have come out and said it had nothing to do with Baldoni. They did it in their own volition, because they were upset about the promotion of the film, and how she used it to promote her alcohol brand.
One of these two is going to have their reputation destroyed because of this. Probably Blake.
Justin Baldoni’s former talent agency should also be sued.
I am so invested in this lawsuit. I don’t know if we have Amber Herd 2.0 or Weinstein 2.0 or something even more out there and wild.
As I understand, the cast sided with Blake but the actual crew sided with him. They have a lot less to lose by not siding with her than the co-stars.
Let’s be honest, you are a no-name actor suddenly pulled into that conflict between a „small“ director and some people really big in the business that start to flatter you and you are suddenly „seeing the big money“… what would you do?
I wonder how much the producer credit and position negates employment law. She was “management“.
Really like that you point out that there are arguments on each side that are basically the same.
She sounds like a rejected lover
I don’t think she even read the book before the movie And didn’t understand the basic premises of the plot.
She didn't read the book
Oh please. Blake would have absolutely said something earlier. Shes just mad because she has been exposed for being a mean woman through her own behavior and interviews.
Exactly Peter. FL paralegal here. And like my former boss would always say. 'you have Duty and Breach with Causation being the bridge between the 2....i dont get this and from what I've heard so far, would not even want to watch this trial.
