1:04:28 As a labor and delivery nurse who has attended 1000s of labors… I can tell you that it is not normal for someone to rip their clothing off and have on nothing.
I think this is an important topic so thank you for covering. I hate the comments (they are everywhere btw) asking “why didn’t she just leave?”.. ”why didn’t her husband make her leave?”.. ”she has plenty of money”… etc etc. What if she wanted to do this because she was passionate about the role? And is it so much to ask to be treated with dignity and respect? From a sociocultural perspective, I hope we can get to a place of asking why HE didn’t leave. Anyone in the modern workplace knows it’ll just happen again and again at the next job(s).
Or why didn’t she report it to HR like a movie set is a regular office where you can go see someone like Toby. I’m sure there are a lot of complaints against Harvey Weinstein that went straight in the shredder.
@@Mama-om6cy Right!!! It’s the new way of asking what was she wearing to a *ape victim. She had a right to work in a non-harassing environment. The question should be, what made him think he was okay to say/do these things.
Aww, Mel! I hope your daughter is feeling better! I had a tonsillectomy at age 28, and it was so so so unpleasant. I had to get steroid shots in my throat after 3-4 days as I was so swollen they were concerned my throat was going to close- following the shots, I was so much better. Pain decreased substantially. And the liquid pain meds can burn if you get the ‘wrong’ one (suspension vs syrup due to the mixture it’s made with). I hope she’s feeling better sooner than later!!
thank you so much for covering this really interesting case ... weekend catch-up crew here and watching in reverse ... the more recent ex-publicist Stephanie Jones filing great too. ✌🏻🤓🇨🇦
I'm shocked at All these Numerous incidents of harassment, and abusive tactics, JB, and his CEO used against Blake, throughout this Entire Movie Production and promotion. And, he's not even that famous or Powerful, in The Hollyweird Industry. Imagine, how many Young actresses get treated by the Truly powerful & untouchable Hollyweird power brokers? SMH 🤔😨
For the record, showing NUDITY to a subordinate at work, childbirth or not, on-topic or not, is NEVER okay. It's nudity. It has no creative influence on the actor, who's capable of performing the scene w/o watching your wife's birthing video.
You don’t know this to be true just because Blake said it does not mean it’s true. Blakes husband was on the set and also Justin’s wife was on the set.
@JYT-n7c Who was or wasn't on set isn't relevant. He obviously said he didn't think it was a big deal, so he would've done it in front of his wife and her husband. I trust Ryan was a witness and will testify to it, as will Blake. I have no reason not to believe her - considering the overwhelming evidence, witnesses, & receipts she has that back up her claims.
This was a childbirth scene. What is normal to discuss and view while filming a labor and delivery scene is completely different than what would be normal filming a flower arranging scene. Blake is spinning everything to paint Justin in worst possible light. BL & RR are the most powerful couple in Hollywood. You really think they would put up w/ type of harassment she is now claiming - AFTER filming is done? Movie is a huge hit & BL/RR desperately want to get control of the rights to the sequel. The motive for legal action and the leaks to the NYT is obvious.
@PNZ73 You must work for Justin's PR manipulator. The text messages speak for themselves - we believe Ms. Lively. I believe she had to wait to report this because the movie was important to her. However, she didn't wait to address it - she made them sign/agree to a corrective action plan before returning to set after the shutdown.
@PNZ73 There is no legal action - this isn't a legal filing. Also, you're wrong for saying it's appropriate to assault your subordinate's eyes at work with a video of your wife's vag (unsolicited). Just like it's never OK to send unsolicited dic pics - same thing. Since this report to the ethics board has nothing to do with movie rights, it's not reasonable to believe the motivation for it was to get the rights to the sequel. That's not a possible result of this.
Excited to listen to this, I heard bits and pieces about this but then watched the movie last week and I really liked Blakes performance and I just felt like the little bits of stuff I heard was questionable. I just really liked her
Nobody looks good in this mudslinging contest... but what really amazes me is that so called "crisis professionals" still use basic text messages to engage in this kind of shady behavior.
I have to say that I’m disappointed, especially on a channel where we discuss law and how the system works, that so many people are making judgments when only one person’s side has been shared. Baldoni is planning to counter-sue, so it seems to me that we should wait to hear his side. I’m not personally comfortable making a definitive decision until then. And yes, I read the NYT article.
💯 exactly ... if you have not already listened, Melanie Little channel has a more recent episode with a filing by ex-publicist Stephanie Jones ... really interesting ... highly recommend.
looking forward to AML channel review of the two filings Dec 31 ... 1) Lively federal court in NY, 2) Baldoni suit against New York Times. Fascinating to watch high-end lawyering.
How unbelievably terrible to go to work under those circumstances. "No more private, multi-hour meetings . . . . with Mr. Baldoni CRYING." ‼Oh my god! I mean, obviously that's the tip o' the iceberg but it made ME cry and laugh simultaneously. Here's hoping that this filing puts Wayfarer and its scummy men as well as Jennifer Nathan & The PURE-EVIL Agency Group so far out of business that they'll be lucky to launch a lemonade stand in Death Valley. On used astroturf.
I’m no lawyer, but I’m pretty sure if Baldoni and his partner had ordered their attorneys to do this campaign, it might’ve been covered by attorney client work product. If it was, these text messages would never have appeared. If you’re doing something sketchy like this, consult your attorney, please #NotAffiliated.
@YallAintRight I am on weekend catch-up ... if you have not heard already, take a listen to the more recent Melanie Little channel read episode, filing by ex-publicist Stephanie Jones, it covers the company phone, subpoena. Really interesting 🤓
I hope your daughter feels better soon Melanie ❤️ my daughter went through the same operation aged 16 and it was horrific. She ended up back in hospital because the pain is so bad the burning with the laser that they do makes it so much worse. Even Endone didn’t take away any level of her pain. Hot drinks with manuka honey in them and Icy Poles by the bucket loads also ice on the outside of her throat.
Smear campaign? She filed a 30 list of demands to continue filming midway through the movie and threatened to not return to set . She fired the first shots . It’s listed in her complaint the demands as well as Sony and Wayfair not agreeing to her demands, but complying to continue filming the movie .
Replay crew. What a terrible thing for him to do to her. I’m afraid he underestimated her and her family. At least, I hope she’s successful in this complaint.
This is disgusting that e Felt it was okay to do these things to Blake or anyone! I am so glad she is speaking up & others will be aware of him & hopefully he will have to face accountable for his actions!
Is THIS what Justin was eluding to when he told interviewer that he found it difficult to “leave this character…”. Sounds like an excuse for bad behaviors
Replay crew. Creeps, such a POS. I can’t believe they think they can still get away with this. Yet some still don’t believe women. 🤬 & oh when u said mastitis I gasped.
I hope that Blake Lively wins this hands down! I commend her for defending professional conduct in the movie industry. We need more people like Blake to stop this madness in Hollywood.
Wow, 36 minutes in and this stuff is awful, just blantantly wanting to destroy people. It is like Baldoni and others know they are wrong and don’t care, just want to cover up and destroy her, awful!
Too young to play her Mother, lol Mel I can't see it. Too young. ❤🥰 I'm waiting on a tonsilectomy at 37, I'm terrified but it's super necessary. Hope your girl heals up quickly lots of love. 💖
Baldoni sounds like a complete jerk. As does Wayfarer co-Chairman Sarowitz. Glad Lively filed and brought this disgusting behavior out into the light for all to see. The men deserve to be sued and heavily penalized as do the "PR" companies and principals involved. Perfect karma that this backfired on them. Horrendous what they did to Lively and no doubt to other public figures as well.
Did you forget about her 30 list of demands that she required to be met midway through filming she threatened not to return to the set if they were not met. Sony and Wayfair didn’t agree with her demands, but they complied just to continue filming. It’s written in her complaint. She fired the first shots. The casting crew were well aware of what was going on with her complaint . Why are none of the other costars of Justin, including the Show Jane the virgin coming out saying anything negative about him ? How exactly did he sexually harass her outside of normal practice of getting into character to make the movie more realistic? Was she sexually harassed in the movie savages where she hooked up with two dudes ?!
It’s funny you mention how they made her look in the film because I couldn’t stop focusing on how frumpy they made her look and how bad they made her hair.
These two Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel are both a piece of work. What happened to women supporting each other and standing against make sexual harassment and abuse? I guess in Hollywood what matters most is the almighty $$$.
can be into anything, but we need CONSENT. 1:28:54 💯 not okay. if he asked, maybe. In a private setting. If it were relevant to the film. lotta “ifs” - imagine a boss in an office gathering employees to present video of his wife (or daughter, niece, sister) giving birth. Gross! and yes, BL has IRL experience 4x - c’mon. The irony of “Wayfarer” and their “vision” is an insult to women. Dude seems like a candidate for NPD. I have no opinion of BL, nor did I know about the film or the negative smear campaign. I do have small-time Hollywood experience and GenX 90’s male-dominated industry experience. The complaint is brave, and I hope all A-list actresses follow, as necessary, to help make the industry safer for struggling actors.
You could’ve been Meryl Streep and he wouldn’t hire you with your resume. I hope StrayKids fandom Stay gets ahold of this. BangChan, the leader if StrayKids is friends of Ryan Reynolds for years now and Ryan pulled off a Deadpool/Wolverine appearance in the music video ChkChkBoom for the Kids. Stay loves Ryan cause Ryan is a Stay. When a KPop fandom comes for you even PR agencies quake in fear.

Do you really believe that Blake Lively 1/2 of power couple who has talked back to famous celebs embarrassing them on press junkets would have any issue talking to a lowly actor first time director ? She is no victim but a mean girl “How’s your little bump “ about Leighton Meester “…I work with monkeys “
Looks like you may have some of TAG group paid trolls in your chat still trying to dismiss the complaint and take down Blake. If this didn't have any evidence I could understand the skepticism, but the receipts are there to be seen and they are still trying to turn attention away from the evidence and onto the portayed Blake personality that the PR team have been pushing. Its the same thing happening in the chat of everyone who is reading this complaint on UA-cam. They use the ecact same points too. Melanie you've been TAGged.
Harassment steems from having power and influence from other person. Blake and her husband, even her family, have MORE power, money and net worth and scope of INFLUENCE among them over what his name co-star/director. She was the producers who brought the money. He also has fame about his integrity in the industry. Now Blake comes with PR campaign in form of legal dressing for people forget what she has done...she still wants the rights for the second film/sequel he ownes. Just thinking... Funny in the interview the Norwagian reporter congratulated her for the baby she understood she was being called fat and was disgusting to the reporter...that's the way she is. She didn't want to talk about DV, but about flowers, her products to sell: hair line and her alchool drinks. The chart of the film with just her face and name...
@sandysilva5659 well said ... weekend catch-up crew here, watching backwards ... a lot of comments in the more recent Melanie Little channel episode, ex-publicist Stephanie Jones filing.
@sandysilva5659 ... apparently the Norwegian entertainment journalist, Kjersti Flaa, was, wrongly, caught up in the accusations of 'smear' against Blake Lively ... Ms. Flaa has an excellent, professional response on her YT channel.
Oh Hollywood, why do you continue to disappoint? So many awful humans, and the public eats it up. I’ve passed on the film because of the constant drama from the creators. My ❤ goes out to the author. Everyone else had the opportunity to walk off the production if it was as bad as claimed.
@@DrGail8 sadly, so did I to an extent. I’m happy she’s letting it be known. I’m afraid this happens all too often online and in the media. It’s terrifying that the demise of someone’s public image can be bought and paid for.
I read the book series. I was so excited about the movie. Loved it personally and never understood what the big deal was. Other than people are so “sensitive” these days and wanted to know ahead of time the move had an abuse storyline.
I never fell for the smear campaign and support Blake.. but I have no legal knowledge so I have one question. People are saying the text's could not have been subpoenad yet, is there any truth to that?
@@SammySmith-g2u omg dude, being unlikeable doesn't make you a liar.... Show me evidence she ever made something up... And unlike you I don't care about two interviews because i know the entirety of earths population has off days, including me and you, and I don't know Blake Lively personally so I will not make assumptions like that
@@SammySmith-g2uAlso, it’s one reporter whining and she’s accused everyone in Hollywood who it’s “hip” to talk bad about in the moment of “bullying” while saying known weirdos are amazing.
I saw some shorts at the time of negative comments of Blake & I felt in my gut how & why would this be true & why she would act badly on set &,in front of people in this day & age. Totally off I didn’t & don’t believe it 💫
Highlighting how PR firms are hired to steer public perception for a film, individual, media company and exactly how they do it won't make her popular in the industry, especially the way it is supposed to be untraceable / can't be linked to the hirer.
@@carrollherzog3313 "Perverted" is a word choice...the connotation doesn't seem to fit, though. If this situation causes more people to watch the movie, I can't imagine you'd be affected in any way.
@carrollherzog3313 on weekend catch-up listening ... I had the same thought, but apparently the movie already was in the theater 🎥🍿 and is on Netflix now, made a lot, and Blake Lively is producer.
This is disgusting. Im horrified by this..poor Blake. And to think I actually believed anything in this gross smear campaign. It’s shameful what these monsters did to her.
It seemed bizarre to me too, because I didn’t see what people were mad about. One article basically implied she was supposed to be publicly giving out her personal contact information so any woman in a DV situation can contact her, because she is now responsible for helping victims. Then people were bringing up things that made no sense.
@ that exact article is what made me start questioning the narrative. I remember being taken aback after reading it because it insinuated that Blake had a duty to respond to anyone and everyone who attempted to contact her about DV. It implied she was responsible for their safety and mental health, as though she was obligated to be their personal therapist. It was absurd. The first thing I came across was the video of Blake supposedly “being rude” to the woman interviewing her. I remember thinking it was a bit of a stretch to be nitpicking over something so insignificant, but I just assumed that people knew something I didn’t. How is purchasing the demise of someone else’s public imagine even a thing? It’s gross. I hope she destroys them.
@@amariepage6041The Huff Post? Their stuff is getting so bad. I used to be a fan and I am saying this as someone with a degree in journalism and having worked in journalism. Everything nowadays seems unreadable. Everything has to be so salacious. It makes me sick. It’s gotten like that with even small town reporting. Honestly, I prefer UA-cam now. I never thought I would. I only read People magazine in print form because I got sick of the comment section and my mom has a subscription. Otherwise, I get the headlines from Google and the weather from Alexa. Everything I want to know about, I watch here. But yeah, I got the same impression, because the question was “how can women who are in DV relationships contact you for help?” She played it off like a joke, because let’s be honest, she’s married to a man who is also a celebrity, she has young children, and she has no training in any of this. It’s not her job. That’s not an appropriate question. Then other things came out in comments that were just so petty. I didn’t think what she said was rude. I thought the article was poorly written and misrepresented what was said. The headline was clickbait. But I’m not going on national television and giving out my personal information.
Oh so everything is supposed to be OK because Ryan Reynolds is her husband and he has a lot of power. So why isn’t they suing Sony and just because Blake says this does not make it true. you are innocent until found guilty.
1. These are not criminal charges so nobody will be found guilty! 2. This is a civil rights complaint filed with the California civil rights department , not a lawsuit and Sony is the distributor and had nothing to do with the production of the film itself and therefore would be an improper party. 3. Are you a bot?
@@ICU-r4b She brought the receipts, she has the witnesses, and the co-complainants. What do Ryan Reynolds or his power have to do with anything? You probably ARE a paid sock account.
Absolutely! And if you read her complaint, Sony didn’t even agree with her list of demands that she made midway through filming, threatening to not return to set .
She didn’t sue Sony because Sony didn’t agree with her list of demands midway through shooting where she threatened not to return to set if they weren’t met. It’s listed in her complaint, but the UA-cam channels always skirt over that part Of her complaint .
@@victoriaStavrou-fs5xcthank you ... catch-up weekend crew ... listening after AML channel more recent episode ex-publicist Stephanie Jones filing. Really interesting 🤓
Why can’t she do the movie ?! She had a meeting and thought everything was dealt with and Justin didn’t stop his nasty behavior you don’t talk about porn with your coworkers especially a wife and mother
As to Amber Heard I never had any idea of who she was until I saw the trial. Therefore nothing Johnny Depp might have put out about her had any effect on my opinion. My opinion was based solely on what came out at the trial, especially Amber Heard’s own words in testimony. Also Meghan Markle has been saying for years that this is what’s going on with her. Things being planted in social media and British Tabloids saying nasty things about her. People have mocked her about exposing this behavior. But we see laid bare just how these things really go on behind the scenes. The same with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s campaign of hate against him. The moral of this story is think for yourself because you can’t believe most of what you read on social media and a lot of what you read in mainstream media.
The only reason I don’t believe Angelina Jolie is because she adopted three children as a single mother (even though she was in a relationship with Brad for two) and filed paperwork for him to adopt them and had three children with him. They were together 8 years before getting married. A bartender in the French Quarter told me Angelina would come in every night and drink and shoot up heroin (which I believe because I’ve seen used syringes in Jackson Square) until 3 or 4. They’d only see Brad with the kids, when he jogged, or came to get her. She better be careful. If someone gave out that information for free (and there’s stories about a lot of celebrities there), imagine what the staff would say for a free trip to California. That’s the thing about Louisiana-sometimes the seediest restaurants and bars have the best food, drinks, and best information.
@@CatMomAmandaMe either with Amber Heard, but so many gems came out of that trial and Johnny’s legal team was fantastic. The psychiatrist who diagnosed him based on Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean.
@ dr Spiegal (idk how to spell his name) ohmygoshhhhh Yes I agree, Ben Chew & crew were AMAZING!!! And Dr Curry?!? Looooved her. And Spicy Draco (Morgan Tremaine). The list goes on! Lots of good memes from the trial too 😆
@@JCM-ry6de Can I just say that it's SO nice to finally see someone who doesn't hate Megan Markle?! I think you are 100% correct (or she is) that there's someone with a vested interest in her downfall because the hatred it seems the entire country has spewed out at her for years is 100% unjustified, in my opinion! I've been the only one around sticking up for her for years - asking why people hate her, because she's presented as completely sweet, intelligent, kind, and caring during the interactions I've observed. It's unheard of for me to differ in opinion so drastically from such a large segment of the population! It's never made sense.
I never believed the narrative that seemed to pop up over night about Blake but so utterly SHOCKED at what she had to endure. I understand why he did it to Blake to protect himself and his company because he’s a disgusting human and does not value women in anyway or see them as equal. But to go after Blake like this with an underhanded campaign is shocking given the $$$$ she bring in along with her husband billions and billions I would’ve thought that he wouldn’t dared threaten 2 of the biggest names…How wrong we ALL were.
innocent, until proven guilty I seriously doubt his beautiful wife and his daughters would agree with your statement. Keep in mind, she was a co-producer on this film. She should’ve laid out all of her 30 demands prior to filming, not midway through and threatening to walk off, set and not return to filming.Sounds like a creative control tactic. Check out her movie savages where she hooks up with two dudes.
So why did she take this role or get all this in a contract prior or quit It all seems so specific and crazy that this was allowed to happen at all and why it came to this point Report to HR and quit! The SAG doesnt have protections for actors for all this stuff??
Did you listen? What happened to her was different to the contract or not in the contract because its standard that you should not harass people. If she quit, they could have successfully sued her. She did report it. They didn't have a dedicated HR other than reporting it to the people that were the problem and they ignored it. She also tried to report ot to Sony who said it wasn't down to them. All of your questions were actually answered in the lawsuit, with evidence. They wouldn't employed the pr team of she hadn't. They were SPECIFICALLY hired in case Blake went public with her HR complaints. The PR team said it themselves.
Why should a woman have to quit her job because she’s being s*exually harassed? Maybe we should be asking why he wasn’t fired for being an unprofessional creep…
Why should a woman have to quit because she’s experiencing SH in the workplace? Shouldn’t we be asking why HE is behaving inappropriately and why he did not get fired?
Yeah, because a movie set is exactly like an office with an HR department and some paper pusher ready to take your form. 🙄🤦🏼♀️I wonder how many actresses did that after working with Harvey Weinstein and never worked again. Or Diddy. Or R Kelly. How many times did Nicole Brown Simpson call the police and say her ex-husband, OJ, threatened to kill her and broke his restraining order again? And people still say she deserved what she got because she was cheating on him. Victim blaming is never a good look.
This was horrific but they couldn’t have faked those horrific interviews we all saw. Where Blake was extremely rude to multiple journalists. This takes the cake two wrongs don’t make a right. This scares the sh!t out of me! How many things is this happening about if you think about it wow!
But wouldn't you be upset if so called journalists were grilling you about lies. It reminds me of people criticising Jay Z for attacking the lawyer who may actually have been part of an extortion plan.
@@apriljoy1094You do know that all media companies that hire professional journalists are owned by the same corporations that own movie studios right? Did the whole Peacock, Disney, Max, and Paramount+ not clue you in to that? If a studio wants to take down someone, they have a morning show on one of the three major networks, an alliance with a major print/web media company, and a PR company too. Then the others pick it up and add or subtract info. Pretty soon, it’s on social media and it’s like a game of telephone. “A lie can get around the world before the truth can even get its pants on.” Winston Churchill said that. And that was a loooooong time ago. If you think we get any morsel of the truth through the media, you’re naive. Because the truth would set the world on fire.
@@lizl2432 lol “horrific interviews?!” Give me a break. Please re-watch those interviews (a lot of which are old and only resurfaced with a particular slant in the caption BECAUSE of JL) There’s nothing horrific about them. Sarcastic? Maybe. Somewhat annoyed with the line of questioning at times? Probably. Horrific? Uh, no. Don’t be ridiculous.
@ I find it horrific to be that flippant and rude to someone who’s just trying to do their job. Calling a woman fat because she congratulated you on being pregnant is gross. We have different standards I guess.
I use to like Blake so much. She was my idol and i watched every movie/show she was in. When she started to push her political views on all other fans I started to not be as much of a fan. Simply because I loved her for her acting skills. I followed her because she was amazing. Not because I wanted to be consumed with her political views. When she was extremely rude to that lady that interviewed her, I completely stopped watching her stuff and unfollowed her. Now it makes me wonder… Was she rude because of what she was going through behind the scenes? Was that lady just at the wrong place at the wrong time? Blake took out her anger on the interviewer? Some of this man’s actions make me think he is very insecure and acting like a teenage boy to get attention. Other things this man has allegedly done makes me think he is an awful man. One with too much money thinking he has all this power. Although Blake will always be financially stable, i’m glad she risked her career to expose these gross men. Not only for herself, but for those who aren’t as successful as her, who cannot risk their careers.
Could your perception be inaccurate as to her political views being forced upon you? I'm sure she didn't tell you outright that you must adopt her political views, OR ELSE! That'd be forcing them upon you. Were you bothered that she _voiced_ her political views? Did she voice them more frequently than you were comfortable with? Perhaps she wasn't aware of your rules on the subject. If she wasn't aware of how often you believed it was appropriate to discuss politics, you should inform her first, and then give her a chance to make it right.
I don’t care what her political views are. I’ve never heard her voice them. But everyone has a right to state that opinion. I don’t know what interview you’re referring to but if it’s the same one everyone else used to say she was this awful person, I personally think the question was terrible and kind of ignorant. I say that as someone with a journalism degree and real reporting experience. Again, I don’t pay attention to what celebrities say in regards to politics because quite frankly I have my own mind and I don’t believe someone should be cancelled because they support a certain political view or candidate. So what? There are people admire who have supported political candidates that represent my district in the Senate. I didn’t say “oh, they’re terrible people because they support X.” I don’t care. They lived here. Went to the same university. Same with other celebrities. They live in the same state. Whom they support is up to them because every cause and candidate has someone (or multiple people) with deep pockets behind it. We usually don’t know who it is.
You mean the interview from 8 years ago? A lot of us have work related stress or other turmoil going on & we don’t get so hostile because we perceived a congratulations to be uncomplimentary. She also could’ve given kudos to the costume designer for the movie being promoted when asked about the fashion portraying the golden age of Hollywood. She was a complete self-absorbed jerk & it wasn’t the first time. The people defending her in the live chat about that interview are probably just like her.
Blake has left a bad taste in my mouth for many years in many ways n I have a hard time believing she isn’t exaggerating this she seems vindictive n was mean to reporters for no reason in the past i just don’t trust her as a person to be completely honest hate to say it for real women that do go through things not that she hasn’t I just don’t fully trust her or her motives
@bernicerivera7729 sounds like you’ve been listening to the exact PR campaign that these documents are proving took place. 🙄🙄 I admit that I believed a lot of it as well, but the proof is right there, plain as day to see, and it’s abundantly clear that Blake is the victim here.
People should remember these are allegations, and Blake and Ryan are extremely powerful and can manipulate in lies to bring down anyone. I do not believe any of her allegations. I think that she is trying to break him down and bring him down because she could not conduct herself professionally, and because people hate her because of her horrible attitude, tone, deaf, personalityshe has the need to bring him down. She did this to herself. I support Justin all the way again these are allegations, not evidence. We are yet to hear his side and so far he has conducted himself super professional professionally she on the other hand everyone has seen.
@@dishashah4260 there are literal texts and documents that prove she is telling the truth. JL and TAG left a paper trail of evidence behind that, thankfully, was able to be recovered and used to prove what they did to her. You don’t think it’s the least bit odd that all this random bad press came out about her during the exact times they wanted it to? It was manufactured outrage designed to sway public opinion and illicit a social, mob-mentality dislike for her. These people knew exactly what they were doing, as they spoon fed their entire plan to each other through text and email for months.
@@SpottedTiger89 Before the promotion of This Ends With Us, I had no idea who JB was. From what I’ve found, he seems to have built his brand around being a feminist and doing a lot of virtue signaling. It’s hard to believe he would act like that with BL, and so publicly on a movie set, if he didn’t think he had consent. Sure, his public image could be fake, and he might actually be a trash person, but how did he keep up the act for so long? With his podcast, TED Talk, and movies promoting awareness for different causes, what happened with BL that made him decide to throw his career away like that?
I don't like either but that doesn't mean people I dislike should have to endure the protections of harassment that I want people I like to have. Protections should be equally given to everyone, not based on our opinions of them. No one should be harassed because their personality is not one that we would like to be around
@@currentlynoname7499 I agree with you, but I think the public needs to separate the allegations of harassment from the smear campaign. Both sides are clearly using PR firms to make themselves look good-it’s just that he ran a more effective campaign. Honestly, no one really knew who JB was before this, and there’s been hate toward BL for a long time. I’m not supporting JB, but I do think some of the alleged inappropriate behavior sounds juvenile-like dumb things people might do with their high school friends or the cast of Jackass. And it’s pretty well-known that BL and RR don’t exactly have a reputation for always behaving appropriately either. Not to say she isn’t a victim, but it’s more complicated than it seems.
@@smiley2477 That's so weird, because I could've sworn there were an overwhelming number of receipts provided which substantiate Blake's claims - not to mention the many witnesses & additional victims corroborating her report. Was I imagining all that?
Funny how there is written evidence by the people who played you, actually proving you have been played.. but you are now so deep into it you wont even see it after the fact. Embarrassing
if the men overstepped her boundaries, Blake has the entire Hollywood machine to set them straight the first time but no, she went had a meeting, filmed the whole movie where they allegedly overstepped the same boundaries again if Blake was a peasant like us, overpowered by Baldoni and team, I get it, I would side with her But Blake on her own (her family) is well connected and known in Hollywood, furthermore she's married to Ryan who is super wealthy and a heavy weight there So, no, I dont believe Blake...this is a power move from her side
So you never heard about Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck both having to threaten to beat up Harvey Weinstein after he SH Gwyneth Paltrow. She comes from a Hollywood family and both of those men were still in the early stages of being successful.
@@Gigi-Anai8c7l she’s said multiple times that this isn’t a neutral channel and she will let her opinions be known. Not sure why you had a different idea. Also, she’s right. So there’s that 🤷♀️
I don't necessarily agree with all of her opinions here - but she has no duty to be neutral. If you don't want to watch a creator that lets her opinion be known (and gives you the courtesy of telling you of their bias), then watch someone else. It's that simple.
I don’t believe this will help Blake. And let’s not pretend UA-cam is any better than Twitter/X. I’ve seen a lot of bullying in these comments. Let’s do better cupcakes! 🧁🩷
Excited to listen to this, I heard bits and pieces about this but then watched the movie last week and I really liked Blakes performance and I just felt like the little bits of stuff I heard was questionable. I just really liked her
I hope that Blake Lively wins this hands down! I commend her for defending professional conduct in the movie industry. We need more people like Blake to stop this madness in Hollywood.
Where was her professional conduct prior to initial shooting? Why weren’t these things laid out for safety and protection? She was a co-producer after all. Motive for creative control to make demands midway through threatening not to return to set unless they were met. rookie producer move on her part.
@Juliette_4 💯 exactly ... every single industry requires constant monitoring to ensure standards ... Ms. Lively is able to be part of that, being from a entertainment industry family and not struggling financially ...
1:04:28 As a labor and delivery nurse who has attended 1000s of labors… I can tell you that it is not normal for someone to rip their clothing off and have on nothing.
@@TaliaBSJ yeah... we know
I think this is an important topic so thank you for covering.
I hate the comments (they are everywhere btw) asking “why didn’t she just leave?”.. ”why didn’t her husband make her leave?”.. ”she has plenty of money”… etc etc. What if she wanted to do this because she was passionate about the role? And is it so much to ask to be treated with dignity and respect? From a sociocultural perspective, I hope we can get to a place of asking why HE didn’t leave. Anyone in the modern workplace knows it’ll just happen again and again at the next job(s).
Right? Or even go to basics like, why can't that man NOT be a perv and just do his job like a normal person would?
Or why didn’t she report it to HR like a movie set is a regular office where you can go see someone like Toby. I’m sure there are a lot of complaints against Harvey Weinstein that went straight in the shredder.
@@ErinH-430 She did.
Exactly. She shouldn’t have to leave and if she had she would’ve been portrayed as an entitled Diva.
@@Mama-om6cy Right!!! It’s the new way of asking what was she wearing to a *ape victim. She had a right to work in a non-harassing environment. The question should be, what made him think he was okay to say/do these things.
Love the two men telling the woman who has had 4 babies.
“Weaponized a digital army” how disgusting
Aww, Mel! I hope your daughter is feeling better! I had a tonsillectomy at age 28, and it was so so so unpleasant. I had to get steroid shots in my throat after 3-4 days as I was so swollen they were concerned my throat was going to close- following the shots, I was so much better. Pain decreased substantially. And the liquid pain meds can burn if you get the ‘wrong’ one (suspension vs syrup due to the mixture it’s made with). I hope she’s feeling better sooner than later!!
thank you so much for covering this really interesting case ... weekend catch-up crew here and watching in reverse ... the more recent ex-publicist Stephanie Jones filing great too. ✌🏻🤓🇨🇦
I'm shocked at All these Numerous incidents of harassment, and abusive tactics, JB, and his CEO used against Blake, throughout this Entire Movie Production and promotion. And, he's not even that famous or Powerful, in The Hollyweird Industry. Imagine, how many Young actresses get treated by the Truly powerful & untouchable Hollyweird power brokers? SMH 🤔😨
🤓 looking forward to your review of the Lively filing Dec 31 in New York federal court, and Dec 31 Baldoni suit against New York Times.
Baldoni and Heath don't have a "past" corn addiction. It's a current issue, but now the men are calling it movie making.
For the record, showing NUDITY to a subordinate at work, childbirth or not, on-topic or not, is NEVER okay. It's nudity. It has no creative influence on the actor, who's capable of performing the scene w/o watching your wife's birthing video.
You don’t know this to be true just because Blake said it does not mean it’s true. Blakes husband was on the set and also Justin’s wife was on the set.
@JYT-n7c Who was or wasn't on set isn't relevant. He obviously said he didn't think it was a big deal, so he would've done it in front of his wife and her husband. I trust Ryan was a witness and will testify to it, as will Blake. I have no reason not to believe her - considering the overwhelming evidence, witnesses, & receipts she has that back up her claims.
This was a childbirth scene. What is normal to discuss and view while filming a labor and delivery scene is completely different than what would be normal filming a flower arranging scene. Blake is spinning everything to paint Justin in worst possible light. BL & RR are the most powerful couple in Hollywood. You really think they would put up w/ type of harassment she is now claiming - AFTER filming is done? Movie is a huge hit & BL/RR desperately want to get control of the rights to the sequel. The motive for legal action and the leaks to the NYT is obvious.
@PNZ73 You must work for Justin's PR manipulator. The text messages speak for themselves - we believe Ms. Lively. I believe she had to wait to report this because the movie was important to her. However, she didn't wait to address it - she made them sign/agree to a corrective action plan before returning to set after the shutdown.
@PNZ73 There is no legal action - this isn't a legal filing. Also, you're wrong for saying it's appropriate to assault your subordinate's eyes at work with a video of your wife's vag (unsolicited). Just like it's never OK to send unsolicited dic pics - same thing.
Since this report to the ethics board has nothing to do with movie rights, it's not reasonable to believe the motivation for it was to get the rights to the sequel. That's not a possible result of this.
Have to ask who was so pissed off they supplied that the confidential information existed. BL had an ally behind the scenes for sure.
The pr person left her previous PR firm to start a new PR agency ..the old PR firm mad she left …they released it
So glad to see that some actresses are finally addressing the harassments existing in film. Long time over due. Go BL!
Excited to listen to this, I heard bits and pieces about this but then watched the movie last week and I really liked Blakes performance and I just felt like the little bits of stuff I heard was questionable. I just really liked her
@@clt420 I've always liked her, too!
I am not gonna lie, i was totally crushing on him by the end of the Jane the Virgin series. Sad to learn he is glassbowl!!
Nobody looks good in this mudslinging contest... but what really amazes me is that so called "crisis professionals" still use basic text messages to engage in this kind of shady behavior.
Blake is one of the least liked celebs in Hollywood
Love the opening ditty! I listen to the entire thing.
I have to say that I’m disappointed, especially on a channel where we discuss law and how the system works, that so many people are making judgments when only one person’s side has been shared. Baldoni is planning to counter-sue, so it seems to me that we should wait to hear his side. I’m not personally comfortable making a definitive decision until then. And yes, I read the NYT article.
💯 exactly ... if you have not already listened, Melanie Little channel has a more recent episode with a filing by ex-publicist Stephanie Jones ... really interesting ... highly recommend.
looking forward to AML channel review of the two filings Dec 31 ... 1) Lively federal court in NY, 2) Baldoni suit against New York Times. Fascinating to watch high-end lawyering.
How unbelievably terrible to go to work under those circumstances. "No more private, multi-hour meetings . . . . with Mr. Baldoni CRYING." ‼Oh my god! I mean, obviously that's the tip o' the iceberg but it made ME cry and laugh simultaneously. Here's hoping that this filing puts Wayfarer and its scummy men as well as Jennifer Nathan & The PURE-EVIL Agency Group so far out of business that they'll be lucky to launch a lemonade stand in Death Valley. On used astroturf.
You don’t know this to be true just because Blake said it does not make it true.
I wonder how this guy treated the young actress, Gina Rodrigues, on Jane the Virgin?
3:25 I could absolutely see you playing Blake’s mother!!!!!!!!! 🥹🥹🤘🏼🤘🏼
You look too young to be her Mom 💞🇨🇦💞
I’m no lawyer, but I’m pretty sure if Baldoni and his partner had ordered their attorneys to do this campaign, it might’ve been covered by attorney client work product. If it was, these text messages would never have appeared. If you’re doing something sketchy like this, consult your attorney, please #NotAffiliated.
😂😂😂😂
@YallAintRight I am on weekend catch-up ... if you have not heard already, take a listen to the more recent Melanie Little channel read episode, filing by ex-publicist Stephanie Jones, it covers the company phone, subpoena. Really interesting 🤓
Hollywood is done.
@@lfc63 I don't see that happening. People are obsessed with it.
We could only be so lucky
I hope your daughter feels better soon Melanie ❤️ my daughter went through the same operation aged 16 and it was horrific. She ended up back in hospital because the pain is so bad the burning with the laser that they do makes it so much worse. Even Endone didn’t take away any level of her pain. Hot drinks with manuka honey in them and Icy Poles by the bucket loads also ice on the outside of her throat.
I never thought BL was as bad as social media was saying. It felt like a smear campaign and it seems I was right. I’ll let my husband know. 😉
Smear campaign?
She filed a 30 list of demands to continue filming midway through the movie and threatened to not return to set .
She fired the first shots .
It’s listed in her complaint the demands as well as Sony and Wayfair not agreeing to her demands, but complying to continue filming the movie .
I’m here for the long content on this topic!!!
Replay crew. What a terrible thing for him to do to her. I’m afraid he underestimated her and her family. At least, I hope she’s successful in this complaint.
This is disgusting that e
Felt it was okay to do these things to Blake or anyone! I am so glad she is speaking up & others will be aware of him & hopefully he will have to face accountable for his actions!
Is THIS what Justin was eluding to when he told interviewer that he found it difficult to “leave this character…”. Sounds like an excuse for bad behaviors
My niece was an extra in a bunch of scenes in the first Twilight movie. She loved it!
Replay crew. Creeps, such a POS. I can’t believe they think they can still get away with this. Yet some still don’t believe women. 🤬 & oh when u said mastitis I gasped.
I hope that Blake Lively wins this hands down! I commend her for defending professional conduct in the movie industry. We need more people like Blake to stop this madness in Hollywood.
He’s a creeper - good on her for standing up to them - it takes grit and courage !!!💪
Wow, 36 minutes in and this stuff is awful, just blantantly wanting to destroy people. It is like Baldoni and others know they are wrong and don’t care, just want to cover up and destroy her, awful!
Wow, just wow.
Wowww. CREEPS. I am glad she is doing this.
Too young to play her Mother, lol Mel I can't see it. Too young. ❤🥰 I'm waiting on a tonsilectomy at 37, I'm terrified but it's super necessary. Hope your girl heals up quickly lots of love. 💖
What happens next? Court?
@@DianaMySky The other sides will respond and deny.
watching Jan 2025 ... in this episode, Ms. Little is reviewing the California Civil Rights Department complaint filed Dec 20.
AML has a subsequent episode which reviews the Dec 24 lawsuit filed by ex-publicist Stephanie Jones.
Dec 31, Ms. Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni etc. in NY federal court.
Dec. 31 Baldoni filed lawsuit against New York Times.
Baldoni sounds like a complete jerk. As does Wayfarer co-Chairman Sarowitz. Glad Lively filed and brought this disgusting behavior out into the light for all to see. The men deserve to be sued and heavily penalized as do the "PR" companies and principals involved. Perfect karma that this backfired on them. Horrendous what they did to Lively and no doubt to other public figures as well.
Did you forget about her 30 list of demands that she required to be met midway through filming she threatened not to return to the set if they were not met.
Sony and Wayfair didn’t agree with her demands, but they complied just to continue filming. It’s written in her complaint. She fired the first shots.
The casting crew were well aware of what was going on with her complaint .
Why are none of the other costars of Justin, including the Show Jane the virgin coming out saying anything negative about him ?
How exactly did he sexually harass her outside of normal practice of getting into character to make the movie more realistic?
Was she sexually harassed in the movie savages where she hooked up with two dudes ?!
It’s funny you mention how they made her look in the film because I couldn’t stop focusing on how frumpy they made her look and how bad they made her hair.
Same!
I hope your daughter feels better soon. So hard as a mum not being able to make it better.
These two Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel are both a piece of work. What happened to women supporting each other and standing against make sexual harassment and abuse? I guess in Hollywood what matters most is the almighty $$$.
Im reminded of Ren calling Stimpy a sick little monkey.
This is gross.
can be into anything, but we need CONSENT. 1:28:54 💯 not okay. if he asked, maybe. In a private setting. If it were relevant to the film. lotta “ifs” - imagine a boss in an office gathering employees to present video of his wife (or daughter, niece, sister) giving birth. Gross! and yes, BL has IRL experience 4x - c’mon. The irony of “Wayfarer” and their “vision” is an insult to women. Dude seems like a candidate for NPD. I have no opinion of BL, nor did I know about the film or the negative smear campaign. I do have small-time Hollywood experience and GenX 90’s male-dominated industry experience. The complaint is brave, and I hope all A-list actresses follow, as necessary, to help make the industry safer for struggling actors.
BL already told a reporter that her husband wrote the rooftop scene at the opening.
You could’ve been Meryl Streep and he wouldn’t hire you with your resume.
I hope StrayKids fandom Stay gets ahold of this. BangChan, the leader if StrayKids is friends of Ryan Reynolds for years now and Ryan pulled off a Deadpool/Wolverine appearance in the music video ChkChkBoom for the Kids. Stay loves Ryan cause Ryan is a Stay. When a KPop fandom comes for you even PR agencies quake in fear.
Melanie, I had my tonsils out at the age of 37. I was given liquid hydrocodone which saved me!
@@justjeanie1466 I didn’t have tonsillitis until I was an adult and then I was told I have abnormally large tonsils. My mom said, “the doctor never said anything when you were little.”

As an sa grape survivor this sickens me. As an autistic adhd suffers how dare he? Strains credulity. Off to cook my turkey and ham tonight for dinner on Xmas eve. Happy holidays to you dear Mel. 🇮🇪❤️🎄
Do you really believe that Blake Lively 1/2 of power couple who has talked back to famous celebs embarrassing them on press junkets would have any issue talking to a lowly actor first time director ? She is no victim but a mean girl “How’s your little bump “ about Leighton Meester “…I work with monkeys “
You’re so beautiful you can be sister but too young to be her mom. Sending love and Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family
I stand by Blake Lively,
Respectfully
Looks like you may have some of TAG group paid trolls in your chat still trying to dismiss the complaint and take down Blake. If this didn't have any evidence I could understand the skepticism, but the receipts are there to be seen and they are still trying to turn attention away from the evidence and onto the portayed Blake personality that the PR team have been pushing.
Its the same thing happening in the chat of everyone who is reading this complaint on UA-cam. They use the ecact same points too. Melanie you've been TAGged.
Harassment steems from having power and influence from other person. Blake and her husband, even her family, have MORE power, money and net worth and scope of INFLUENCE among them over what his name co-star/director. She was the producers who brought the money.
He also has fame about his integrity in the industry.
Now Blake comes with PR campaign in form of legal dressing for people forget what she has done...she still wants the rights for the second film/sequel he ownes.
Just thinking...
Funny in the interview the Norwagian reporter congratulated her for the baby she understood she was being called fat and was disgusting to the reporter...that's the way she is.
She didn't want to talk about DV, but about flowers, her products to sell: hair line and her alchool drinks.
The chart of the film with just her face and name...
@sandysilva5659 well said ... weekend catch-up crew here, watching backwards ... a lot of comments in the more recent Melanie Little channel episode, ex-publicist Stephanie Jones filing.
@sandysilva5659 ... apparently the Norwegian entertainment journalist, Kjersti Flaa, was, wrongly, caught up in the accusations of 'smear' against Blake Lively ... Ms. Flaa has an excellent, professional response on her YT channel.

Oh Hollywood, why do you continue to disappoint? So many awful humans, and the public eats it up. I’ve passed on the film because of the constant drama from the creators. My ❤ goes out to the author. Everyone else had the opportunity to walk off the production if it was as bad as claimed.

That listen and do nothing from his Ted Talk is ironic!
I definitely fell for it. The propaganda was all over UA-cam
@@DrGail8 sadly, so did I to an extent. I’m happy she’s letting it be known.
I’m afraid this happens all too often online and in the media. It’s terrifying that the demise of someone’s public image can be bought and paid for.
I read the book series. I was so excited about the movie. Loved it personally and never understood what the big deal was. Other than people are so “sensitive” these days and wanted to know ahead of time the move had an abuse storyline.
I never fell for the smear campaign and support Blake.. but I have no legal knowledge so I have one question. People are saying the text's could not have been subpoenad yet, is there any truth to that?
Texts can be subpoenad

Started in the Army in the early 80s. Definitely, a man’s world. (Victor is my service dog)
I saw some shorts at the time of negative comments of Blake & I felt in my gut how & why would this be true & why she would act badly on set &,in front of people in this day & age. Totally off I didn’t & don’t believe it 💫
This is discusting, good for her to fight this.
Guess neither are no picnic to work with. Yikes.
Highlighting how PR firms are hired to steer public perception for a film, individual, media company and exactly how they do it won't make her popular in the industry, especially the way it is supposed to be untraceable / can't be linked to the hirer.
The big decision makers won't care because the movie made a lot of money
They need her, too, you know
I hope this doesn’t boost ticket sales because it sounds so perverted.
@@carrollherzog3313 "Perverted" is a word choice...the connotation doesn't seem to fit, though. If this situation causes more people to watch the movie, I can't imagine you'd be affected in any way.
@carrollherzog3313 on weekend catch-up listening ... I had the same thought, but apparently the movie already was in the theater 🎥🍿 and is on Netflix now, made a lot, and Blake Lively is producer.
This is disgusting. Im horrified by this..poor Blake. And to think I actually believed anything in this gross smear campaign. It’s shameful what these monsters did to her.
It seemed bizarre to me too, because I didn’t see what people were mad about. One article basically implied she was supposed to be publicly giving out her personal contact information so any woman in a DV situation can contact her, because she is now responsible for helping victims. Then people were bringing up things that made no sense.
@ that exact article is what made me start questioning the narrative. I remember being taken aback after reading it because it insinuated that Blake had a duty to respond to anyone and everyone who attempted to contact her about DV. It implied she was responsible for their safety and mental health, as though she was obligated to be their personal therapist. It was absurd.
The first thing I came across was the video of Blake supposedly “being rude” to the woman interviewing her. I remember thinking it was a bit of a stretch to be nitpicking over something so insignificant, but I just assumed that people knew something I didn’t.
How is purchasing the demise of someone else’s public imagine even a thing? It’s gross. I hope she destroys them.
@@amariepage6041The Huff Post? Their stuff is getting so bad. I used to be a fan and I am saying this as someone with a degree in journalism and having worked in journalism. Everything nowadays seems unreadable. Everything has to be so salacious. It makes me sick. It’s gotten like that with even small town reporting. Honestly, I prefer UA-cam now. I never thought I would. I only read People magazine in print form because I got sick of the comment section and my mom has a subscription. Otherwise, I get the headlines from Google and the weather from Alexa. Everything I want to know about, I watch here.
But yeah, I got the same impression, because the question was “how can women who are in DV relationships contact you for help?” She played it off like a joke, because let’s be honest, she’s married to a man who is also a celebrity, she has young children, and she has no training in any of this. It’s not her job. That’s not an appropriate question. Then other things came out in comments that were just so petty. I didn’t think what she said was rude. I thought the article was poorly written and misrepresented what was said. The headline was clickbait. But I’m not going on national television and giving out my personal information.
Oh so everything is supposed to be OK because Ryan Reynolds is her husband and he has a lot of power. So why isn’t they suing Sony and just because Blake says this does not make it true. you are innocent until found guilty.
1. These are not criminal charges so nobody will be found guilty!
2. This is a civil rights complaint filed with the California civil rights department , not a lawsuit and Sony is the distributor and had nothing to do with the production of the film itself and therefore would be an improper party.
3. Are you a bot?
@@ICU-r4b She brought the receipts, she has the witnesses, and the co-complainants. What do Ryan Reynolds or his power have to do with anything? You probably ARE a paid sock account.
Absolutely!
And if you read her complaint, Sony didn’t even agree with her list of demands that she made midway through filming, threatening to not return to set .
She didn’t sue Sony because Sony didn’t agree with her list of demands midway through shooting where she threatened not to return to set if they weren’t met.
It’s listed in her complaint, but the UA-cam channels always skirt over that part
Of her complaint .
@@victoriaStavrou-fs5xcthank you ... catch-up weekend crew ... listening after AML channel more recent episode ex-publicist Stephanie Jones filing. Really interesting 🤓
Ugh what they did and talked excitedly about makes me sick to my stomach.
Why can’t she do the movie ?! She had a meeting and thought everything was dealt with and Justin didn’t stop his nasty behavior you don’t talk about porn with your coworkers especially a wife and mother
As to Amber Heard I never had any idea of who she was until I saw the trial. Therefore nothing Johnny Depp might have put out about her had any effect on my opinion. My opinion was based solely on what came out at the trial, especially Amber Heard’s own words in testimony. Also Meghan Markle has been saying for years that this is what’s going on with her. Things being planted in social media and British Tabloids saying nasty things about her. People have mocked her about exposing this behavior. But we see laid bare just how these things really go on behind the scenes. The same with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s campaign of hate against him. The moral of this story is think for yourself because you can’t believe most of what you read on social media and a lot of what you read in mainstream media.
@@JCM-ry6de this is so well said 👏🏼 (and I am 100% the same about AH- no idea who she was until the trial)
The only reason I don’t believe Angelina Jolie is because she adopted three children as a single mother (even though she was in a relationship with Brad for two) and filed paperwork for him to adopt them and had three children with him. They were together 8 years before getting married. A bartender in the French Quarter told me Angelina would come in every night and drink and shoot up heroin (which I believe because I’ve seen used syringes in Jackson Square) until 3 or 4. They’d only see Brad with the kids, when he jogged, or came to get her. She better be careful. If someone gave out that information for free (and there’s stories about a lot of celebrities there), imagine what the staff would say for a free trip to California. That’s the thing about Louisiana-sometimes the seediest restaurants and bars have the best food, drinks, and best information.
@@CatMomAmandaMe either with Amber Heard, but so many gems came out of that trial and Johnny’s legal team was fantastic. The psychiatrist who diagnosed him based on Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean.
@ dr Spiegal (idk how to spell his name) ohmygoshhhhh
Yes I agree, Ben Chew & crew were AMAZING!!! And Dr Curry?!? Looooved her. And Spicy Draco (Morgan Tremaine). The list goes on!
Lots of good memes from the trial too 😆
@@JCM-ry6de Can I just say that it's SO nice to finally see someone who doesn't hate Megan Markle?! I think you are 100% correct (or she is) that there's someone with a vested interest in her downfall because the hatred it seems the entire country has spewed out at her for years is 100% unjustified, in my opinion! I've been the only one around sticking up for her for years - asking why people hate her, because she's presented as completely sweet, intelligent, kind, and caring during the interactions I've observed. It's unheard of for me to differ in opinion so drastically from such a large segment of the population! It's never made sense.
I hope Lively wins this suit and that Baldone's career is permanently over. Enough of this sick, abusive behavior.
Blake is a Narcissist
I never believed the narrative that seemed to pop up over night about Blake but so utterly SHOCKED at what she had to endure. I understand why he did it to Blake to protect himself and his company because he’s a disgusting human and does not value women in anyway or see them as equal. But to go after Blake like this with an underhanded campaign is shocking given the $$$$ she bring in along with her husband billions and billions I would’ve thought that he wouldn’t dared threaten 2 of the biggest names…How wrong we ALL were.
innocent, until proven guilty I seriously doubt his beautiful wife and his daughters would agree with your statement.
Keep in mind, she was a co-producer on this film. She should’ve laid out all of her 30 demands prior to filming, not midway through and threatening to walk off, set and not return to filming.Sounds like a creative control tactic. Check out her movie savages where she hooks up with two dudes.
Sad and disgusting congratulations to Blake for speaking out.
Blake is a liar. She’s made all this BS up. She thinks this is gonna help her reputation, but I don’t think it will.
small-d-energy
So why did she take this role or get all this in a contract prior or quit It all seems so specific and crazy that this was allowed to happen at all and why it came to this point Report to HR and quit! The SAG doesnt have protections for actors for all this stuff??
@@KEo4o5o6 I'm pretty sure they could have sued her if she walked. It's a contractual obligation.
Did you listen? What happened to her was different to the contract or not in the contract because its standard that you should not harass people.
If she quit, they could have successfully sued her.
She did report it. They didn't have a dedicated HR other than reporting it to the people that were the problem and they ignored it. She also tried to report ot to Sony who said it wasn't down to them.
All of your questions were actually answered in the lawsuit, with evidence. They wouldn't employed the pr team of she hadn't. They were SPECIFICALLY hired in case Blake went public with her HR complaints. The PR team said it themselves.
Why should a woman have to quit her job because she’s being s*exually harassed? Maybe we should be asking why he wasn’t fired for being an unprofessional creep…
Why should a woman have to quit because she’s experiencing SH in the workplace? Shouldn’t we be asking why HE is behaving inappropriately and why he did not get fired?
Yeah, because a movie set is exactly like an office with an HR department and some paper pusher ready to take your form. 🙄🤦🏼♀️I wonder how many actresses did that after working with Harvey Weinstein and never worked again. Or Diddy. Or R Kelly. How many times did Nicole Brown Simpson call the police and say her ex-husband, OJ, threatened to kill her and broke his restraining order again? And people still say she deserved what she got because she was cheating on him. Victim blaming is never a good look.
This was horrific but they couldn’t have faked those horrific interviews we all saw. Where Blake was extremely rude to multiple journalists.
This takes the cake two wrongs don’t make a right.
This scares the sh!t out of me! How many things is this happening about if you think about it wow!
But wouldn't you be upset if so called journalists were grilling you about lies. It reminds me of people criticising Jay Z for attacking the lawyer who may actually have been part of an extortion plan.
@ No, I’m referring to the interviews before Justin’s hate campaign. I think that’s beyond horrific. I’m sure he’s going to pay big time for that.
@@apriljoy1094You do know that all media companies that hire professional journalists are owned by the same corporations that own movie studios right? Did the whole Peacock, Disney, Max, and Paramount+ not clue you in to that? If a studio wants to take down someone, they have a morning show on one of the three major networks, an alliance with a major print/web media company, and a PR company too. Then the others pick it up and add or subtract info. Pretty soon, it’s on social media and it’s like a game of telephone. “A lie can get around the world before the truth can even get its pants on.” Winston Churchill said that. And that was a loooooong time ago. If you think we get any morsel of the truth through the media, you’re naive. Because the truth would set the world on fire.
@@lizl2432 lol “horrific interviews?!” Give me a break. Please re-watch those interviews (a lot of which are old and only resurfaced with a particular slant in the caption BECAUSE of JL)
There’s nothing horrific about them. Sarcastic? Maybe. Somewhat annoyed with the line of questioning at times? Probably.
Horrific? Uh, no. Don’t be ridiculous.
@ I find it horrific to be that flippant and rude to someone who’s just trying to do their job. Calling a woman fat because she congratulated you on being pregnant is gross. We have different standards I guess.
I use to like Blake so much. She was my idol and i watched every movie/show she was in. When she started to push her political views on all other fans I started to not be as much of a fan. Simply because I loved her for her acting skills. I followed her because she was amazing. Not because I wanted to be consumed with her political views. When she was extremely rude to that lady that interviewed her, I completely stopped watching her stuff and unfollowed her.
Now it makes me wonder… Was she rude because of what she was going through behind the scenes? Was that lady just at the wrong place at the wrong time? Blake took out her anger on the interviewer?
Some of this man’s actions make me think he is very insecure and acting like a teenage boy to get attention. Other things this man has allegedly done makes me think he is an awful man. One with too much money thinking he has all this power.
Although Blake will always be financially stable, i’m glad she risked her career to expose these gross men. Not only for herself, but for those who aren’t as successful as her, who cannot risk their careers.
Could your perception be inaccurate as to her political views being forced upon you? I'm sure she didn't tell you outright that you must adopt her political views, OR ELSE! That'd be forcing them upon you.
Were you bothered that she _voiced_ her political views? Did she voice them more frequently than you were comfortable with? Perhaps she wasn't aware of your rules on the subject. If she wasn't aware of how often you believed it was appropriate to discuss politics, you should inform her first, and then give her a chance to make it right.
*Pushed, not forced.
I don’t care what her political views are. I’ve never heard her voice them. But everyone has a right to state that opinion. I don’t know what interview you’re referring to but if it’s the same one everyone else used to say she was this awful person, I personally think the question was terrible and kind of ignorant. I say that as someone with a journalism degree and real reporting experience. Again, I don’t pay attention to what celebrities say in regards to politics because quite frankly I have my own mind and I don’t believe someone should be cancelled because they support a certain political view or candidate. So what? There are people admire who have supported political candidates that represent my district in the Senate. I didn’t say “oh, they’re terrible people because they support X.” I don’t care. They lived here. Went to the same university. Same with other celebrities. They live in the same state. Whom they support is up to them because every cause and candidate has someone (or multiple people) with deep pockets behind it. We usually don’t know who it is.
You mean the interview from 8 years ago? A lot of us have work related stress or other turmoil going on & we don’t get so hostile because we perceived a congratulations to be uncomplimentary. She also could’ve given kudos to the costume designer for the movie being promoted when asked about the fashion portraying the golden age of Hollywood. She was a complete self-absorbed jerk & it wasn’t the first time. The people defending her in the live chat about that interview are probably just like her.

Blake has left a bad taste in my mouth for many years in many ways n I have a hard time believing she isn’t exaggerating this she seems vindictive n was mean to reporters for no reason in the past i just don’t trust her as a person to be completely honest hate to say it for real women that do go through things not that she hasn’t I just don’t fully trust her or her motives
@bernicerivera7729 sounds like you’ve been listening to the exact PR campaign that these documents are proving took place. 🙄🙄
I admit that I believed a lot of it as well, but the proof is right there, plain as day to see, and it’s abundantly clear that Blake is the victim here.
People should remember these are allegations, and Blake and Ryan are extremely powerful and can manipulate in lies to bring down anyone. I do not believe any of her allegations. I think that she is trying to break him down and bring him down because she could not conduct herself professionally, and because people hate her because of her horrible attitude, tone, deaf, personalityshe has the need to bring him down. She did this to herself. I support Justin all the way again these are allegations, not evidence. We are yet to hear his side and so far he has conducted himself super professional professionally she on the other hand everyone has seen.
Not taking a position here, but how do the PR team’s communications factor into your belief?
@@dishashah4260 there are literal texts and documents that prove she is telling the truth. JL and TAG left a paper trail of evidence behind that, thankfully, was able to be recovered and used to prove what they did to her.
You don’t think it’s the least bit odd that all this random bad press came out about her during the exact times they wanted it to? It was manufactured outrage designed to sway public opinion and illicit a social, mob-mentality dislike for her.
These people knew exactly what they were doing, as they spoon fed their entire plan to each other through text and email for months.
@ thats why its called my opinion! Allegations are not facts or evidence! Read jennifer abel’s statement
This!
honest opinion they are both not very likeable and should probably retire.

Before the promotion of This Ends With Us, I had no idea who JB was. From what I’ve found, he seems to have built his brand around being a feminist and doing a lot of virtue signaling. It’s hard to believe he would act like that with BL, and so publicly on a movie set, if he didn’t think he had consent. Sure, his public image could be fake, and he might actually be a trash person, but how did he keep up the act for so long? With his podcast, TED Talk, and movies promoting awareness for different causes, what happened with BL that made him decide to throw his career away like that?
I don't like either but that doesn't mean people I dislike should have to endure the protections of harassment that I want people I like to have. Protections should be equally given to everyone, not based on our opinions of them. No one should be harassed because their personality is not one that we would like to be around
@@currentlynoname7499 I agree with you, but I think the public needs to separate the allegations of harassment from the smear campaign. Both sides are clearly using PR firms to make themselves look good-it’s just that he ran a more effective campaign. Honestly, no one really knew who JB was before this, and there’s been hate toward BL for a long time. I’m not supporting JB, but I do think some of the alleged inappropriate behavior sounds juvenile-like dumb things people might do with their high school friends or the cast of Jackass. And it’s pretty well-known that BL and RR don’t exactly have a reputation for always behaving appropriately either. Not to say she isn’t a victim, but it’s more complicated than it seems.
@@wilfreddale764JB was on Jane the Virgin. I knew who he was.
I’m unsubscribing now..if you are not intelligent enough to know when you are played..l#teambadoni
😂
team Melanie !
@@smiley2477 That's so weird, because I could've sworn there were an overwhelming number of receipts provided which substantiate Blake's claims - not to mention the many witnesses & additional victims corroborating her report. Was I imagining all that?
@@smiley2477 If you're going to type out a hashtag, you may want to at least make it worth the trouble by spelling it correctly. 🤷♀️
Funny how there is written evidence by the people who played you, actually proving you have been played.. but you are now so deep into it you wont even see it after the fact. Embarrassing
if the men overstepped her boundaries, Blake has the entire Hollywood machine to set them straight the first time
but no, she went had a meeting, filmed the whole movie where they allegedly overstepped the same boundaries again
if Blake was a peasant like us, overpowered by Baldoni and team, I get it, I would side with her
But Blake on her own (her family) is well connected and known in Hollywood, furthermore she's married to Ryan who is super wealthy and a heavy weight there
So, no, I dont believe Blake...this is a power move from her side
@Gigi-Anai7l so you're stating what your bias is then?
So you never heard about Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck both having to threaten to beat up Harvey Weinstein after he SH Gwyneth Paltrow. She comes from a Hollywood family and both of those men were still in the early stages of being successful.
Common sense to realize this is a power move from the Lively/Renolds legal machine.
No
you are really biased, shouldn't you be neutral at this point of the process (it's not a lawsuit yet)....interesting
Why should she be neutral? it's a youtube channel, she is not in court
@@Gigi-Anai8c7l maybe because Blake came with proof and receipts? She follows facts
It is a lawsuit. A lawsuit starts with a complaint.
@@Gigi-Anai8c7l she’s said multiple times that this isn’t a neutral channel and she will let her opinions be known. Not sure why you had a different idea.
Also, she’s right. So there’s that 🤷♀️
I don't necessarily agree with all of her opinions here - but she has no duty to be neutral. If you don't want to watch a creator that lets her opinion be known (and gives you the courtesy of telling you of their bias), then watch someone else. It's that simple.
I don’t believe this will help Blake. And let’s not pretend UA-cam is any better than Twitter/X. I’ve seen a lot of bullying in these comments. Let’s do better cupcakes! 🧁🩷
Excited to listen to this, I heard bits and pieces about this but then watched the movie last week and I really liked Blakes performance and I just felt like the little bits of stuff I heard was questionable. I just really liked her
I hope that Blake Lively wins this hands down! I commend her for defending professional conduct in the movie industry. We need more people like Blake to stop this madness in Hollywood.
Where was her professional conduct prior to initial shooting? Why weren’t these things laid out for safety and protection? She was a co-producer after all. Motive for creative control to make demands midway through threatening not to return to set unless they were met. rookie producer move on her part.
@Juliette_4 💯 exactly ... every single industry requires constant monitoring to ensure standards ... Ms. Lively is able to be part of that, being from a entertainment industry family and not struggling financially ...
@Juliette_4 what happened on the Rust set shows what can, tragically, occur if high standards are not maintained ...
