Same. I don't follow celebrity gossip but I'm into mysteries and true crime. So I'm engaged in trying to figure out what really happened. So, far it looks bad for Lively. It sounds like she bullied Justin and made minor things seem like some pattern of sexaul harassment. Her attempt to edit the film herself and excluding Justin from the premier look like her using her power and celebrity to bully Justin.
I think we're invested because it's such blatant bullying by Blake and Ryan. And we want to see justice. Before social media, we had to eat whatever they fed us.
She will probably try to settle but Justin’s going to take this all the way to clear his name and take everyone down. For this man it’s not about money it’s about integrity and you can’t buy your way out of that
For the writer to love and want Blake Lively as the female lead, yet Blake confessed that she never read the book to understand the story and the character properly even AFTER the shooting began, should be a huge sign of disrespect to everyone involved.
Exactly! Reading the book at the very least would show respect for the writer. Not to mention she would have gained an even greater understanding of the role.
@@flyandshy00 Because it give you a greater depth on the character's personality and who they are. It's normal for most actors to consume the source media before auditioning even.
@@morgankneip4890 because it shows her character? Had she actually read the book or thought about anything beyond her own vanity, she'd know they were terrible choices not only for the character but just in general. "Wear your florals" lol
what, a movie based on such an important, significant book? he wouldn’t have bought the rights on a dostoievski novel. a superficial book with a superficial adaptation that makes a good saturday afternoon watch. and people were up in flames on how lively was talking about wearing one’s florals to the premiere. this is not some profound movie. it IS a chick flick, with a touch of darkness, just to make it more dramatic. the book is the same. joust two paces removed from twilight and one pace removed from fifty shades. sorry, but it is what it is. much ado made by superficial people about nothing.
No way. So we can have another circus? While I'm glad she's been caught working behind the scenes unlike Johnny, we don't need this shit to be more public
@@KellyRyan-k9k "caught working behind the scenes" and its her keeping a sexual harasser away from her majority female costars. Y'all gonna look mad stupid one of these days, and there's no walking it back.
@@KellyRyan-k9k”so we can have another circus?” Uhm, no… so we can have the truth. This case is massive and will set a precedent no matter which one of them is lying.
Being bullied into giving in all her demands. This is Baldoni's movie, but we all know he was pushed out completely. Most people would save evidence when working relationship hostile like that.
It's bc he was on a show with CW for years and so was she. GOSSIP Girl was on CW. He got all the tea from. Them about what it was like to work with her.
Because that's not what she was doing. She was giving direction. An intimacy coordinator does a lot more. They mediate separately, they have you sign documents, they ensure everything is legal and no one feels coerced or harrassed. She was correcting hand placement etc.
Excerpt from Rolling Stone interview with crew members: "Not long after photos of her [and Baldoni] on set leaked in the press, her passion for the project seemed to drop off precipitously, all three noted. It was widely discussed among the line members of production, these sources say, that Lively lacked a desire to be on set." My guess is that Ryan was having his own postnatal period and probably having feelings of jealously (feeling left out) and possessive of his wife. He isn't threatened by Brandon Sklenar, who has shown his loyalty to the Reynolds and who even made a little video with Ryan and, of course, Hugh Jackman: "See FB Jealous Ryan Reynolds interrogates Brandon Sklenar". And the Nicepool stuff ... 🤦♀ Someone's obsessing. But I think Ryan felt threatened by Baldoni and got his mean girl wife believing the man is a [fill in the blank] and had to be taken out/down. I believe Reynolds was on set and involved in order to make things difficult for Baldoni and to charm the cast and the author into their (the Reynolds') corner, and perhaps to try to get their support for pressuring Baldoni to give up the rights to the financial hit's sequel. Just my two cents.
I think Blake didn’t expect Justin to fight back. Her and her husband need to be taken down a few notches. Ryan doesn’t play deadpool so well by accident.
@@chantaljames2755Do you know the lawyer was accused of SA in college? He and his buddy was supposed to be helping a drunk girl to get to her boyfriend’sfriends BUT she woke up in a dorm room with them SA her, taking turns. His family paid her $40,000 to keep it out of court. So I wouldn’t trust that lawyer. Nor Baldoni.
@@SnowLeopardForever How does Darvo apply here? I see blake using it to a T. And while they both seem a bit weird, i think she might be the aggressor in this situation. Even after assessing my biases and internal misogyny, it seems like she is in the wrong here
It *ACTUALLY ISNT* a random point to bring up Blake not reading the source material of It Ends with Us. This all started because fans were furious with Blake for refusing to address DV and downplaying It Ends with Us. The videos are online of her trying to make light of DV and make it a Barbenheimer. So yeah, the claim she didn’t even read the book makes sense, because she couldn’t even articulate DV in her interviews. It came off like she was so out of touch with the actual subject matter she claimed to be trying to be a champion of. As for the cast supporting Blake, I have lost so much respect for Jenny Slate- who should know better after how badly she was bullied while dating Chris Evans. And Brandon Skelnar just looks like lapdog with no backbone. He’s willing to lick whatever boot to get his next role. It’s honestly shameful how little of a backbone he has.
Yup - the whole “wear florals” to see a movie about DV… such a weird marketing tactic on her end. All she wanted was to make it about fashion - very strange. She had no idea going into it what the movie would be about, she just had an agenda, and then even after filming the movie knowing full well the context of it she continued to fulfill said agenda. It was SO bizarre. And somehow she think Baldoni is to blame why the public reacted how they did… she’s not a good person. ALSO if Justin was SH her on set, why would she finish the movie and then file a lawsuit…. Like it makes no sense AT ALL. She doesnt need money. It’s very obvious what she was doing all along.
@@cyangrattan4398they’ve reported multiple times that Sony contracted her into advertising it as a light hearted movie, they wanted as minimal discussion about DV as much as possible.
@@CNoT-p1qyou realize that Sony was accommodating whatever direction Blake wanted to go in when it came to marketing right? If she honestly felt passionate about doing it properly for victims she could have and they would’ve let it slide like they did everything else. Stop turning a blind eye.
I feel like the reason Blake is receiving so much celebrity support is bc of the power she and Ryan Reynolds yield in Hollywood. Justin doesn’t have the star power they do (even though he should imho), but what he does seem to have is the support of the public. At the end of the day it’s the public that make celebrities who they are, we give our hard earned money to support their projects. Blake and Ryan really have shot themselves in the foot.
People are also quick to show "support" to a "victim" because it makes them look good and it gives them attention. Specially because news websites and stuff post "xxxxx shows support for victim of harassment!".
Shows how brown nose actors are. Then we see why bullies like Weinstein got away with stuff for so long. Women can be villains too. I am a woman, and have a son and daughter. Women who think only women are angels have no sons they raised right.
You know who is not publicly supporting her? Her dear friend Taylor Swift and I think that's very telling. She made a stand on politics!! On a very divided country! However, she's not taking a stand for her friend.
Nah...Blake and Ryan are gonna continue to thrive, if public opinion worked like you said ppl like Tom Cruise wouldnt have a career and he still does. On the other hand most GP met Justin on this mediocre movie...he lost. I personally think him and Heath were creeps to her but that cant be criminaziled so...I also dont believe that she was alone on the movies "take over", I think she was backed by someone they dont wanna name.
Did anyone else see that video of Blake calling her co-stars "monkeys" during a panel and when no one laughed she said sth about it being just a joke and pointed directly at Leighton Meester aka Blair Waldorf (who was born in prison) and said how some of them started out in a cage...that was crazy.
@@rebecca7081it was an GG panel I believe, that’s the only time Blake and leighton have ever worked together and have never since. But everyone else on the gg case are still friends to this day and support each other etc except for Blake.
@@alexistisby1601 yeah she low key not low at all was horrible and terrible to leighton, she was so jealous of her, insisted she get better wardrobe than leighton on set bc she didn’t deserve it, always said she was better/smarter than her, more likable etc but always framed in as either a Joke or as the character on GG, which is so gross bc either leighton is being harassed just as a person living life, or she’s being harassed at work which Blake is now trying to say happened to her. It’s wild what she’s gotten away w this whole time.
I saw the clip and she said the monkey comment but I didn't hear the 'some of them started out in a cage' that's disgusting and how did she get away with that if she said it infront of tons of ppl
Justin wanting to work with the Intimacy co-ordinator to film with a female gaze doesn’t mean he wanted Blake to take control over the movie, its not strange that he wasn't ok with that.
right, Spill is crazy for trying to say, "oh but then why did he get mad at her for taking over the movie if he was ok with female input?" wtf, those r two SEPARATE things dear.🤣🤣
@ it’s like what for? Probably paid. I like her too but it’s annoying when evidence is screaming at you and the person keeps ignoring it and sticking to their angle. She is just probably paid she has NO REASON to believe Blake blindly when Justin brought receipts for everything. So she’s Woke or gets paid
I am Team Justin!! Imagine, his name was not even in the film's poster, only Blake's name in there. Justin starred opposite Blake, he directed and produced the film. He bought the rights for the book to be adapted. Who is the real Bully? Who overstepped their role?
This is what gets me. If it was truly that bad. Then why didn't she tell her union rep from Sag- Aftra? I forgot what movie is was but remember an actress got slapped her co-star and she told the union and they shut down the movie to investigate and the actress who hit her was kicked off the movie. They have provisions in that contracts for these reason. Blake has been a problem from the moment they went into pre-production.
Agreed. My theory is that Blake and her collaborators didn't want to include SAG bc they actually investigate claims unlike CA Civil Rights Commission. SAG has a fixed timeline for their investigations bc they know movie sets can be 4 months to a year.
Most likely afraid of being either no evidence or being banned from the union, Blake accidentally revealed in an interview that Ryan took control of the script for it ends with us (particularly writing the intimacy scenes between her, and the other actor) while he was also writing / finishing some of the deapool and wolverine scenes during the SAG protests. Anyone working on films while under contract with SAG would received a ban from the industry, depending on the committee it could be a lifetime ban or 5 years max. If the SAG investigated the claims, and they saw what Ryan was doing, he would get banned immediately.
JB had a good reputation, there are TikTok videos from some of his colleagues supporting him. They said the only reason they dare to speak up is because they are not in the industry anymore. BL and RR have too much power.
I believe Justin he never had any problems in his career till he was cast with her. I just watched the behavioural arts video of this case and it is really well explained
I find it to be an interesting clash of personalities. He seems to have a very overly sincere and altruistic way about him ( genuine or not) and she is endlessly sarcastic and jokey- kind of like her husband. ( although he is a natural at it, while I have always found her behavior cringe af). These two people were never going to get along and Blake saw an opportunity to girl boss her way into being a big time producer by taking advantage of a less powerful and, frankly, naive nice guy. I also think she probably had a bit of a crush on Justin initially… I mean, she def inviting him into her dressing room while she was pumping- which is odd. She could have said - “ just pumping and I’ll let you know when I’m ready..” but she didn’t. Just my two cents
@@ericaexplainsitall2135 shes always overly flirty with her male co-stars, if she was a guy, she would have been banned in hollywood ages ago. Even tho Ryan didnt cheat on Scarlet (allegedly), Blake was still with Penn Badgley, when she got together with Ryan, Penn found out from the rumor mill / interviews. I would not be surprised if she has cheated on Ryan but because he work-ships the ground she walks on, he either dismiss it or is not aware.
People forget, all violence is about power and control, and he gave that power and control up to her willingly and was trying to work with her, so it really confuses me why she is portraying him this way. not one abuser I have ever met her heard about would be willing to allow her to take over
Yes, people keep saying power and control and that because he was the producer and director he had the power. All the things that she did during filming and after show that she was the one with the power.
There’s been an overwhelming support for Justin after the text messages were released. Colleen Hoover should really reconsider supporting someone that couldn’t even take the time to read her book.
I'm not surprised at all that Colleen Hoover sided with Blake. This is the same lady who tried to cover up her own son's sexual harassing of an under age girl.
A lot of times, the most vocal lawyers are the ones to watch out for. When I see lawyers going out of their way to get interviews, I'm skeptical. Most great lawyers really stay quiet, and preserve their comments for court. Not always. Some lawyers come out loud and strong for good reasons. But in general, I'd be cautious.
Honesty Blake and Ryan are that insufferable rich couple that kills the vibe while trying to act like the cool couple, and bullies everyone around. I have no idea if Justin did or not the allegations but damn Blake I can’t believe you wouldn’t try and speak things out instead of sending him to the backrooms, I saw a lot of evidence of workplace bullying just by looking at the way they treated Justin at the red carpet.
Yeah I can’t get past the way she manipulated her way into more power and take over of control. A victim is powerless, not capable of easily overpowering her abuser. So it makes no sense. I think that video of her showing him how to grab her is very telling of the control she had and the voice she has. Victims are usually voiceless.
she refused to work with an intimacy coordinator & directed the intimacy scenes herself! there are literally videos of her coaching him on how to pull her close & kiss her! HE should sue her for SA!
@@pinchepeaches there was like an 80 something page document released where all the incidents she claimed were harassment got detailed. for example: in one, allegedly blake said he walked into the trailer while she was topless but supposedly she called the meeting, and so him and another guy asked if they could come in because he saw she was breastfeeding and she said yes. so she was not changing and topless as she claimed and she invited them in. the incidents seem to be pointing to this style of her trying to make something out of nothing to make herself look better
@@_Amit_Sunilmaybe it was Justin that shouldn’t have gotten involved with Colleen Hoover, not the other way around? if we are going by the reputations of everyone involved before the movie went into production
The timing is just off. She waited until her reputation was going down the tubes from the promotion of this movie to file a lawsuit? It seems like she was just trying to save face. Also wasn’t Ryan involved in the movie (and shouldn’t have been), so why would Justin even attempt anything with Blake when her husband was around??
She is saying that the negative response that she was getting was due to a retaliation campaign. Apparently, there was a clause in the agreement that there would be no retaliation.
Or maybe she wanted to give the movie a chance in theaters before she filed her complaint. She wouldn't want to cause a massive boycott just as it was hitting theaters. That would hurt not only her paycheck, but potentially all of her coworkers paychecks as well. Everyone is really harping on this "mean girl" persona and looking at all of her actions through that lens, but this timing really was better for everyone including Baldoni.
@@user-ox5nh8kx1l Nope, if you are filing a workplace harassment claim then you need to do it within 180 days of the harassment. Blake brought this when she did because she has claimed that the public backlash against her was because of a smear campaign that was a retaliation attack. Retaliation is one of the things that you can use to file for harassment.
@@abbied Correction, it’s 3 more: Verity (which will have Anne Hathaway as Verity and Dakota Johnson as the ghost writer), Reminders of Him, and Regretting You.
Him wanting there to be female gaze and BL taking control over the movie are very different things. She didn’t just provide her female pov input here and there, she hijacked the production.
I know, its wild that he kept saying he wanted "female gaze" but tried to shut down every bit of female gaze she offered. So much cognitive dissonance from him!
@@user-ox5nh8kx1l he didn't.......so you haven't been paying attention or you are not intelligent. i've been on this and it is well known that he was TOO nice to Blake and gave her everything....she chose her own clothes, she took over the movie. just be quiet if you don't know anything. You will stick out to anyone else who is paying attention to this too and you will look dumb to them, like u don't know what you are talking about. There are plenty of videos talking about how much he gave up and he said he took in all the female input so it was from the girls perspective like the book.
If Blake really did what was alleged, I think it was because she and Ryan wanted a power couple moment by having both their movies (which was showing at the same time) be hits. That’s the only reason I can see why they were so eager to hijack a movie and get credits for it.
@@oohlalaa2390 Ryan is not the problem how big Margot it to Blake. Blake can’t stand her since Margot was nobody and got the role in the Wolf Blake wanted . And then all the Barbie summer
There has been numerous A list actors who have out in support of Justin, like Colin Firth, Robert Downey Jr, and all his cast members from Jane the Virgin…their are heavy hitters supporting him, all is not for Blake
@bunny_koo sorry, misspoke about RDJ...I meant to say Sabrina Carpenter who was in the movie Clouds which Justin produced & directed. Also food for thought, Scarlett Johansson is directing a movie that Justin production company is producing 😉
Holy shit that clip of her and Colleen Hoover and Brandon is insane. "Where have you seen this??" And Colleen mentions seeing it on IG and Brandon takes the opportunity to take a sip from his cup and then laughs obviously just to placate Blake. You can TELL that they're terrified of upsetting her. So cringe I could barely even LOOK at the screen. The second hand embarrassment is real with this one.
I don’t think her celebrity friends backing her means anything. It just means she has celebrity friends. Justin has the support from the crew who worked on the film and the public who can see through the Hollywood bs and know that he didn’t do anything wrong and she is just butthurt that her reputation got trashed and feels like he is to blame for it because everyone felt bad for him because she literally segregated him from promotional content. If she wanted the public on her side, she would have done what Justin did and take the movie’s message more seriously when it came to promoting it and stop promoting herself. And I don’t think it was weird of Justin’s lawyer to bring up that Blake didn’t read the book because to Justin, it was a passion project. To Blake it was a business move and also Colleen might be backing Blake but Colleen Hoover also tried to create a coloring book based off her novel that is about dv, so great minds think alike. I always said that this lawsuit it clearly her trying to suit for defamation but since he did not do anything directly to defame her, she could not sue him on those grounds so she found her own workaround and it’s backfiring.
I partially feel like her celebrity friends do make a difference.. especially when one celebrity has a huge following of fans that blindly follow, and a lot of money. It’s a group of bullies that all have too much money.
I'm glad everyone is seeing right through Blake Lively's fakeness. I feel like she was trying to make moves on him to get a role, but he denied her for the role in another movie and rejected her, so now she's trying to cover it up since it will be exposed.
Here's the thing even Blake didn't expect this to go this far. she thought she can throw some baseless accusations and ruin mans reputation based on an article, and get all the attention and praise and that will be that. she didn't expect him to stand up for himself, fight back and bring receipts, now she dug a hole for herself because now she has to go through with it and keep claiming harassment etc but she wont be able to prove a thing in court because all the evidence show she's a manipulative lying bully
I think the comments that say “this movie doesn’t deserve this attention” or “it wasn’t good enough for all this drama” this isn’t drama, this is a celebrity using her power and status against people she thinks are beneath her, stuff like this deserves attention and needs to be heard, women who use the fact that people will believe them when they knowingly falsely accuse someone of sexual harassment IS serious.
The Lawyers on JBs team are amazing. Freedman has taken on news sources previously, Benson whole law career focus on SH in workplaces, Sunshine has dealt with industry PR before, and all of them have gotten 8fig settlements. Blake's claims dont hold up to basics of scrutiny, simply too. Id be legit scared rn if I were her
Blake is very relaxed and taking up space, while they seem kinda silent and small. I mean the way Blake is sitting, she clearly believes she’s the star. Which I mean , I guess she’s not wrong, but it definitely comes off as obnoxious and inconsiderate, not like they’re just good friends all hanging out. Come to think of it, that’s how she seems to be in all these cast interviews
The only real takeaway from this situation is the public is as stupid as ever, confidently stating who is right or wrong without clear evidence on both sides being made public or a trial even having commenced, simply coming down to which person has the "vibes" they mesh with from videos on their algorithm. Humanity at it's utter finest.
So thankful to see another rational level headed person in the comments. At this point, I don’t know what to believe. I’m going to wait until there is more evidence to have an opinion. It is concerning how quickly people are willing to have a passionate opinion either way without considering the nuances of the situation.
Let’s be real: the internet acts like it rides the moral high horse at all times but actually doesn‘t give a damn about „truth“ or whatever - ppl just want to be entertained at the end of the day …
Dude when Blake came out with her story and everyone started backing her up, that’s exactly what I said!! But people were like «This is nothing like Depp V. Heard» Smh
We all know of people like Blake Lively. The ones who are self-entitled, never know how to read the room, arrogant, zero accountability, etc. Blake Lively appears to encompass those traits.
I’m a female lawyer and early in my career an older female lawyer let me do her work while making twice my salary. She talked to me like I was small and flaunted her lifestyle. And she was suppose to be a peer technically. It was a horrible time in my life. Blake reminds me of her.
It could’ve been a good movie and it honestly sends a message to both men and women, if you are willing to listen, but the whole scandal of the drama behind the film kind of overshadows the plot and true message of the movie…. It’s just all such a mess.
The movie turned out like that because you can tell there were two ideas not meeting up. It just seemed off well now we know why because blake wanted all her ideas and not go for the one that was already script.
I just wanna mention that collaboration in order to ensure it’s filmed through a female gaze and Blake lively, taking over and completely shutting him out are two different things
I believe him...just look at every other case like this. If he was really guilty other women would be coming forward ESPECIALLY after someone as famous as BL.....nothing.....crickets. I think this time they'll be some solid evidence behind this lawsuit. I hope he buries her if what they claim is true.
14:45 That's not really fair commentary. There is a difference between industry experienced women who are intimacy coordinators or directors, and an actress. Blake herself even saying she's not supposed to act as the intimacy coordinator. Nor is she supposed to dictate costume changes, override the budget, and make horrible false harassment claimes.
Eventhough i like Blake as in Adeline, this is getting too much. I really feel bad for Justin. I hope Justin get the justice as he deserved from all the evidence we've seen + heard so far.
It is over for Blake because her lawsuit is petty and ludicrous. Allegedly Justin kiss her a bit too long during a kissing scene? That's her justification of filling the complaint and now lawsuit? No one would dare to even look at her funny.
the thing is that it is normal for us as a society to believe the woman or man who speaks up about sexual harassment first. because it's so dangerous not to. The sad thing is that it's turning out like what happened with amber and Jonny where the public first sided with amber until more information came out. Jonny just had to grin in bare it till the tide turned. . Justin ( if he is innocent) will have to wait for his day in court to prove his innocence. I'm not siding with one or the other till more information comes out but so far considering what has been released now and during the whole movie release- it's not looking good for blake -- at least in my opinion.
@@seaofgeese No, it was never even a smear campaign, he hired PR to protect the reputation of the film when Blake started attracting horrible attention and a rift began. It was a pre-emptive getting ahead of potential negative press towards the film/Blake looking like a further AH.
Personally, I believe BL and RR massively miscalculated everything about the lawsuit they filed against JB. I don't think they expected JB to go on the offense like this and for public opinion to be so much in his favour as a result. They probably believed it would all be quietly settled out of court with nobody any the wiser about any of the details. Instead, they're looking really bad so far, even if only half the things are true that are being alleged about them. We'll see how this all develops but in any case, I highly doubt that things are going the way they thought they would...
I think the lawyer brought up that Blake didn’t read the book to point out how she is weaponizing feminism and Me Too to fill her own agenda without understanding the message of her own film she said she was so passionate about when really she didn’t understand the story or know it fully, while Justin did in order to do his job right and make sure he had all the tools to make the film and character from the book so the message would come across properly. Blake Lively is a bigger name in the industry, and yes she has her own success, but it’s due to her marriage that she is as popular as she is. And it shows with how many other actors instantly backed her up even though they had nothing to do with her film or some have never even met Justin, it felt almost like she had her team call up any one she had worked with before to make them put out statements. Blake has not worked with the women of Travelling Pants for YEARS, and it’s not to say they aren’t still friends, but it’s weird they called back to how she was when she was a literal teenager as a explanation of her character when she is a literal adult now. Who also got married on a plantation, romanticized the south during and even before segregation times, and had some micro racist moments that have been scrubbed from the internet magically till more recent. Also where is this attitude with feminism when it comes to Woody Allen? She loves him and worked with him despite it being PUBLIC knowledge what he did to not only his step daughter, now wife, but possibly also his adoptive daughter who is always claims isn’t his despite the fact she saw him as a father because that is the role he filled in her life, as much as he refused it so he would feel less guilt and shame for his horrific actions. His films, especially the ones he stars in show his attitude towards not only women but minors being in “relationships” that are predatory with old men like him.
I just don’t understand why Blake + Justin think that this movie was going to be some sort of masterpiece; was the book popular yes…. But it’s not like a Christopher Nolan movie. What was her hang up with wanting to take over this movie so much?
I’ve never liked Blake, ever. She reminds me of my cousin and that’s all I needed to know 😂🤦🏻♀️ so w that said I don’t keep up w her career at all, besides showing up to fashion shows award shows etc or being RR wife, when was the last time she acted? Was she thinking maybe this was going to be her big plunge back in or? Bc I know one of her movies that was popular w Anna Kendrick was getting a sequel after a long period of time but straight to streaming no theatre so maybe she was hoping she was gonnah really boost her and market her for a particular genre or? Idk just wondering bc idk how much she’s acted in literally like the last 10 years? And from what I understand the role of Lilly? Was a much younger girl in the books compared to Blake so maybe she sees this as her one shot? Or thought it was?
I could be wrong, so please don't take this as gospel but I thought I read that there are more books/movie rights from this author or this books series and that Blake wanted to do the next one also and Justin declined. I believe I heard someone suggest this is what set Blake off at the very beginning of this whole mess but I haven't heard anything about it since. I honestly could be wrong. The only thing I know about this situation is what I have seen on social media.
@ i understand why Justin wanted to do it and where his headspace was (him writing to the author and buying the rights and wanting to tell the story that i understand) I just don’t understand her issue with it.
@ oooh! Maybe I had the timeline wrong? I thought he declined after or midway (like thinking to himself I’m not going through this again) when things started going bad with her. But that would make a lot of sense because I was going to say (and again like you not gospel) everyone is saying Justin did something (not to her) but that hurt her ego in some way and that’s kindah what started this literal spiral, but your point of view/timeline makes a lot Of sense. Did he ever talk about making more movies from IEWU? or was he always only just doing the one movie to focus on sending the message of DV/abuse etc? Bc that makes sense to me, I know he bought the rights to the first book (idk how many there are) is there any proof or anything in writing showing he bought the rights to the other books? Or was planning to?
I honestly think that because the texts were not complete, others could blame him. But once I saw the texts in context, I realized that Justin was being railroaded. I honestly think BL should drop this as she is ruining her career and possibly her husband’s.
You know who is also guilty of bullying Justin? The cast and author of the book. They had no brain and conscience, blindly obeying Blake and betraying the director who gave them this incredible opportunity. If Blake is canceled, so should they be. In a passive aggressive way, they betrayed and bullied Justin (by unfollowing him and not promoting the film with him) while they should be beyond grateful to him for giving them an incredible and life-changing opportunity. Their actions are despicable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At 12:26, The interviewer asks Blake, you were teaching Justin on how to pull you in.. She immediately tries to hide it by saying, "Where have u seen this?".. The author who sits next to her makes a snide comment as she has seen that in instagram as well and the sarcastic laughter by Brandon screams she is a liar, manipulator who tried seducing Justin...and now trying to cover it up..
I don't think he wanted blake to be so involved but when interviewed justin just said he stepped back and let the female take over etc simply to not bitch about blake in the interview, he was trying to smooth out the situation for the sake of avoiding more drama
I should NOT be THIS invested in this.
You aint alone 😅😅😅
Mee too😂😅

It sounds like she bullied Justin and made minor things seem like some pattern of sexaul harassment.

Idk what’s going on at this point 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m here for it
I think we're invested because it's such blatant bullying by Blake and Ryan. And we want to see justice. Before social media, we had to eat whatever they fed us.
I have the feeling that this will be settled out of court and no one will ever know exactly what happened
Thats likely, but there’s also a big chance that Blake and Ryans egos won’t let that happen and they’ll take it to court to try to look good.
She will probably try to settle but Justin’s going to take this all the way to clear his name and take everyone down. For this man it’s not about money it’s about integrity and you can’t buy your way out of that
That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking too. I feel like that’s why Justin’s team is releasing stuff so the people still know the truth
Me too. I bet they're gonna settle so that all of the receipts against Blake don't get shared.
@@ladyhexton3773 if there’s so much alleged evidence againts Blake I don’t think she and Ryan will risk her reputation beign further damaged
For the writer to love and want Blake Lively as the female lead, yet Blake confessed that she never read the book to understand the story and the character properly even AFTER the shooting began, should be a huge sign of disrespect to everyone involved.
The author also has a son who has committed r*pe of a kid, literally tho 😭 Colleen hoover is awful. She still supports him and victim blames.
She read the script before accepting the role. Why to read the book???
Exactly! Reading the book at the very least would show respect for the writer. Not to mention she would have gained an even greater understanding of the role.
@@flyandshy00 Because it give you a greater depth on the character's personality and who they are. It's normal for most actors to consume the source media before auditioning even.
@@flyandshy00a lot of times the film adaptations of books don’t include all the details that are written in the book!!!
I still can't get over how bad the outfits were
She picked out her own outfits. I want to see what the original costume designer picked out.
Her original choices for the wardrobe was a shocker, she was dressed as an oversized clown.
Double D , Dawg shit, Does she own a miror
What an irrelevant point
@@morgankneip4890 because it shows her character? Had she actually read the book or thought about anything beyond her own vanity, she'd know they were terrible choices not only for the character but just in general. "Wear your florals" lol

Really makes me miss the Dont Worry Darling drama. That was at least mostly harmless
More like It Goes On and On With Us, amirite?! 🙃
what are you talking about, this drama is so fun
It’s not about the movie though, is it?
what, a movie based on such an important, significant book? he wouldn’t have bought the rights on a dostoievski novel. a superficial book with a superficial adaptation that makes a good saturday afternoon watch. and people were up in flames on how lively was talking about wearing one’s florals to the premiere. this is not some profound movie. it IS a chick flick, with a touch of darkness, just to make it more dramatic. the book is the same. joust two paces removed from twilight and one pace removed from fifty shades. sorry, but it is what it is.
much ado made by superficial people about nothing.
God please let there be a trial. Please let it be livestreamed. I think there is so much mudslinging to happen.

@@moyaxoxo5923 cover his ass? If he has evidence disproving her claims, he wouldn't have an ass that needed covering.
Being bullied into giving in all her demands. This is Baldoni's movie, but we all know he was pushed out completely. Most people would save evidence when working relationship hostile like that.
It's bc he was on a show with CW for years and so was she. GOSSIP Girl was on CW. He got all the tea from. Them about what it was like to work with her.
Blake was shook when the author said she saw the video of her coordinating Justin after she just like "where did you see that"
THIS!
the way Brandon Sklenar laughed lol
Because that's not what she was doing. She was giving direction. An intimacy coordinator does a lot more. They mediate separately, they have you sign documents, they ensure everything is legal and no one feels coerced or harrassed. She was correcting hand placement etc.
Excerpt from Rolling Stone interview with crew members:
"Not long after photos of her [and Baldoni] on set leaked in the press, her passion for the project seemed to drop off precipitously, all three noted. It was widely discussed among the line members of production, these sources say, that Lively lacked a desire to be on set."
My guess is that Ryan was having his own postnatal period and probably having feelings of jealously (feeling left out) and possessive of his wife. He isn't threatened by Brandon Sklenar, who has shown his loyalty to the Reynolds and who even made a little video with Ryan and, of course, Hugh Jackman: "See FB Jealous Ryan Reynolds interrogates Brandon Sklenar". And the Nicepool stuff ... 🤦♀ Someone's obsessing. But I think Ryan felt threatened by Baldoni and got his mean girl wife believing the man is a [fill in the blank] and had to be taken out/down. I believe Reynolds was on set and involved in order to make things difficult for Baldoni and to charm the cast and the author into their (the Reynolds') corner, and perhaps to try to get their support for pressuring Baldoni to give up the rights to the financial hit's sequel. Just my two cents.
and you missed the part where she rejected the meetings with the intimacy coordinator @@user-ox5nh8kx1l
I‘m equal parts invested in and tired of this drama 😂😂
Same... like I want to skip to the end
@@jocelynsmyth6604it ends with us, the audience to this drama.

Yup, I just posted saying the same. They thought they could bully or buy his silence... he's not gonna let it happen
Baldoni is using DARVO.
And too many people are fooled.

He and his buddy was supposed to be helping a drunk girl to get to her boyfriend’sfriends BUT she woke up in a dorm room with them SA her, taking turns. His family paid her $40,000 to keep it out of court. So I wouldn’t trust that lawyer. Nor Baldoni.
@@SnowLeopardForever How does Darvo apply here? I see blake using it to a T. And while they both seem a bit weird, i think she might be the aggressor in this situation. Even after assessing my biases and internal misogyny, it seems like she is in the wrong here
It *ACTUALLY ISNT* a random point to bring up Blake not reading the source material of It Ends with Us. This all started because fans were furious with Blake for refusing to address DV and downplaying It Ends with Us. The videos are online of her trying to make light of DV and make it a Barbenheimer. So yeah, the claim she didn’t even read the book makes sense, because she couldn’t even articulate DV in her interviews. It came off like she was so out of touch with the actual subject matter she claimed to be trying to be a champion of.
As for the cast supporting Blake, I have lost so much respect for Jenny Slate- who should know better after how badly she was bullied while dating Chris Evans. And Brandon Skelnar just looks like lapdog with no backbone. He’s willing to lick whatever boot to get his next role. It’s honestly shameful how little of a backbone he has.
Yup - the whole “wear florals” to see a movie about DV… such a weird marketing tactic on her end. All she wanted was to make it about fashion - very strange. She had no idea going into it what the movie would be about, she just had an agenda, and then even after filming the movie knowing full well the context of it she continued to fulfill said agenda. It was SO bizarre.
And somehow she think Baldoni is to blame why the public reacted how they did… she’s not a good person.
ALSO if Justin was SH her on set, why would she finish the movie and then file a lawsuit…. Like it makes no sense AT ALL. She doesnt need money. It’s very obvious what she was doing all along.
@@cyangrattan4398they’ve reported multiple times that Sony contracted her into advertising it as a light hearted movie, they wanted as minimal discussion about DV as much as possible.
@@CNoT-p1q Can you send me links to the source of the articles?
@@CNoT-p1qyou realize that Sony was accommodating whatever direction Blake wanted to go in when it came to marketing right? If she honestly felt passionate about doing it properly for victims she could have and they would’ve let it slide like they did everything else. Stop turning a blind eye.
Ain't Jenny Slate an a buser too? Chris Evans claimed how he experienced it while dating her.
I feel like the reason Blake is receiving so much celebrity support is bc of the power she and Ryan Reynolds yield in Hollywood. Justin doesn’t have the star power they do (even though he should imho), but what he does seem to have is the support of the public. At the end of the day it’s the public that make celebrities who they are, we give our hard earned money to support their projects. Blake and Ryan really have shot themselves in the foot.
That's literally the only reason
People are also quick to show "support" to a "victim" because it makes them look good and it gives them attention. Specially because news websites and stuff post "xxxxx shows support for victim of harassment!".
Shows how brown nose actors are. Then we see why bullies like Weinstein got away with stuff for so long. Women can be villains too. I am a woman, and have a son and daughter. Women who think only women are angels have no sons they raised right.
You know who is not publicly supporting her? Her dear friend Taylor Swift and I think that's very telling. She made a stand on politics!! On a very divided country! However, she's not taking a stand for her friend.
Nah...Blake and Ryan are gonna continue to thrive, if public opinion worked like you said ppl like Tom Cruise wouldnt have a career and he still does. On the other hand most GP met Justin on this mediocre movie...he lost. I personally think him and Heath were creeps to her but that cant be criminaziled so...I also dont believe that she was alone on the movies "take over", I think she was backed by someone they dont wanna name.
Did anyone else see that video of Blake calling her co-stars "monkeys" during a panel and when no one laughed she said sth about it being just a joke and pointed directly at Leighton Meester aka Blair Waldorf (who was born in prison) and said how some of them started out in a cage...that was crazy.
Where did that happen that’s crazy!
@@rebecca7081it was an GG panel I believe, that’s the only time Blake and leighton have ever worked together and have never since. But everyone else on the gg case are still friends to this day and support each other etc except for Blake.
Wild that she would say this shit
@@alexistisby1601 yeah she low key not low at all was horrible and terrible to leighton, she was so jealous of her, insisted she get better wardrobe than leighton on set bc she didn’t deserve it, always said she was better/smarter than her, more likable etc but always framed in as either a Joke or as the character on GG, which is so gross bc either leighton is being harassed just as a person living life, or she’s being harassed at work which Blake is now trying to say happened to her. It’s wild what she’s gotten away w this whole time.
I saw the clip and she said the monkey comment but I didn't hear the 'some of them started out in a cage' that's disgusting and how did she get away with that if she said it infront of tons of ppl

Justin wanting to work with the Intimacy co-ordinator to film with a female gaze doesn’t mean he wanted Blake to take control over the movie, its not strange that he wasn't ok with that.

@@kariannerickson3228 What a weirdo
Dont listen to the bot lol.
@@kariannerickson3228 she literally lied lmao
This is what gets me. If it was truly that bad. Then why didn't she tell her union rep from Sag- Aftra? I forgot what movie is was but remember an actress got slapped her co-star and she told the union and they shut down the movie to investigate and the actress who hit her was kicked off the movie. They have provisions in that contracts for these reason. Blake has been a problem from the moment they went into pre-production.
Agreed. My theory is that Blake and her collaborators didn't want to include SAG bc they actually investigate claims unlike CA Civil Rights Commission. SAG has a fixed timeline for their investigations bc they know movie sets can be 4 months to a year.
Most likely afraid of being either no evidence or being banned from the union, Blake accidentally revealed in an interview that Ryan took control of the script for it ends with us (particularly writing the intimacy scenes between her, and the other actor) while he was also writing / finishing some of the deapool and wolverine scenes during the SAG protests. Anyone working on films while under contract with SAG would received a ban from the industry, depending on the committee it could be a lifetime ban or 5 years max.
If the SAG investigated the claims, and they saw what Ryan was doing, he would get banned immediately.
@@drkatbun8566 this is such an important point 💯
@@drkatbun8566 Exactly.
you have NO IDEA what she told her union rep. if she made it all up, hey why have they admitted to the video?
JB had a good reputation, there are TikTok videos from some of his colleagues supporting him. They said the only reason they dare to speak up is because they are not in the industry anymore. BL and RR have too much power.
JB had the power in this dynamic and abused it.
Now, every time I see RR on my Snapchat story video ads I get my mad cuz of his wife
Love JBs podcast!
I believe Justin he never had any problems in his career till he was cast with her. I just watched the behavioural arts video of this case and it is really well explained
Link ?? 🩷
Ikr, he worked for years at Jane the virgin with many female co stars and all of them speak highly about him
what vídeo?
I find it to be an interesting clash of personalities. He seems to have a very overly sincere and altruistic way about him
( genuine or not) and she is endlessly sarcastic and jokey- kind of like her husband. ( although he is a natural at it, while I have always found her behavior cringe af). These two people were never going to get along and Blake saw an opportunity to girl boss her way into being a big time producer by taking advantage of a less powerful and, frankly, naive nice guy. I also think she probably had a bit of a crush on Justin initially… I mean, she def inviting him into her dressing room while she was pumping- which is odd. She could have said - “ just pumping and I’ll let you know when I’m ready..” but she didn’t. Just my two cents
@@ericaexplainsitall2135 shes always overly flirty with her male co-stars, if she was a guy, she would have been banned in hollywood ages ago.
Even tho Ryan didnt cheat on Scarlet (allegedly), Blake was still with Penn Badgley, when she got together with Ryan, Penn found out from the rumor mill / interviews.
I would not be surprised if she has cheated on Ryan but because he work-ships the ground she walks on, he either dismiss it or is not aware.
People forget, all violence is about power and control, and he gave that power and control up to her willingly and was trying to work with her, so it really confuses me why she is portraying him this way. not one abuser I have ever met her heard about would be willing to allow her to take over
boom.
Really freaking good point
Yes, people keep saying power and control and that because he was the producer and director he had the power. All the things that she did during filming and after show that she was the one with the power.
@ he’s been so agreeable the whole time and claimed he didn’t want her to get hurt. I don’t see a power animal lol
…because he said so?? Orrrr
There’s been an overwhelming support for Justin after the text messages were released. Colleen Hoover should really reconsider supporting someone that couldn’t even take the time to read her book.
Never forget that Hoover's son SA'd a minor and she defended him. She's already proven her morals are utter trash.
She’s too busy being at the cool kids table. She shouldn’t have said anything at all
I'm not surprised at all that Colleen Hoover sided with Blake. This is the same lady who tried to cover up her own son's sexual harassing of an under age girl.
@ wow I didn’t know that
@vintagegallerina yeah that's one of the reasons I stop reading her books and also I grow out her books.

A lot of times, the most vocal lawyers are the ones to watch out for. When I see lawyers going out of their way to get interviews, I'm skeptical. Most great lawyers really stay quiet, and preserve their comments for court. Not always. Some lawyers come out loud and strong for good reasons. But in general, I'd be cautious.
@@margot9349morally corrupt to you right? Because her morals don’t align with yours, people have different morals believe it or not.
Honesty Blake and Ryan are that insufferable rich couple that kills the vibe while trying to act like the cool couple, and bullies everyone around. I have no idea if Justin did or not the allegations but damn Blake I can’t believe you wouldn’t try and speak things out instead of sending him to the backrooms, I saw a lot of evidence of workplace bullying just by looking at the way they treated Justin at the red carpet.
She is childish af
If she was the victim then why did her husband make light of the story?
Either he is a horrible husband... or she lied 👀
Yeah. Am also disappointed in Jackman for Nicepool scenes too.
Comedians make 9/11 jokes, doesn't mean the issue wasn't serious. Also you're projecting about nicepool being Baldoni.
Yeah I can’t get past the way she manipulated her way into more power and take over of control. A victim is powerless, not capable of easily overpowering her abuser. So it makes no sense. I think that video of her showing him how to grab her is very telling of the control she had and the voice she has. Victims are usually voiceless.
Exactly
she refused to work with an intimacy coordinator & directed the intimacy scenes herself!
there are literally videos of her coaching him on how to pull her close & kiss her! HE should sue her for SA!

@@pinchepeaches there was like an 80 something page document released where all the incidents she claimed were harassment got detailed. for example: in one, allegedly blake said he walked into the trailer while she was topless but supposedly she called the meeting, and so him and another guy asked if they could come in because he saw she was breastfeeding and she said yes. so she was not changing and topless as she claimed and she invited them in. the incidents seem to be pointing to this style of her trying to make something out of nothing to make herself look better
@@_Amit_Sunilmaybe it was Justin that shouldn’t have gotten involved with Colleen Hoover, not the other way around? if we are going by the reputations of everyone involved before the movie went into production
The timing is just off. She waited until her reputation was going down the tubes from the promotion of this movie to file a lawsuit? It seems like she was just trying to save face. Also wasn’t Ryan involved in the movie (and shouldn’t have been), so why would Justin even attempt anything with Blake when her husband was around??
She is saying that the negative response that she was getting was due to a retaliation campaign. Apparently, there was a clause in the agreement that there would be no retaliation.
Or maybe she wanted to give the movie a chance in theaters before she filed her complaint. She wouldn't want to cause a massive boycott just as it was hitting theaters. That would hurt not only her paycheck, but potentially all of her coworkers paychecks as well.
Everyone is really harping on this "mean girl" persona and looking at all of her actions through that lens, but this timing really was better for everyone including Baldoni.
Do y’all know how long these things take….
Oh wait clearly y’all don’t know anything and take everything for face value or what other comments tell you to feel lol
@@user-ox5nh8kx1l Nope, if you are filing a workplace harassment claim then you need to do it within 180 days of the harassment. Blake brought this when she did because she has claimed that the public backlash against her was because of a smear campaign that was a retaliation attack.
Retaliation is one of the things that you can use to file for harassment.

I know, its wild that he kept saying he wanted "female gaze" but tried to shut down every bit of female gaze she offered. So much cognitive dissonance from him!
@@user-ox5nh8kx1l he didn't.......so you haven't been paying attention or you are not intelligent. i've been on this and it is well known that he was TOO nice to Blake and gave her everything....she chose her own clothes, she took over the movie. just be quiet if you don't know anything. You will stick out to anyone else who is paying attention to this too and you will look dumb to them, like u don't know what you are talking about. There are plenty of videos talking about how much he gave up and he said he took in all the female input so it was from the girls perspective like the book.
Not to mention it was specifically about the sex scenes and overuse of them…
If Blake really did what was alleged, I think it was because she and Ryan wanted a power couple moment by having both their movies (which was showing at the same time) be hits. That’s the only reason I can see why they were so eager to hijack a movie and get credits for it.
And to rival the barbenheimer moment

@@a1ntcry1noveru Yeah the bullies that as soon as they get the smallest amount of pushback cry that they are the victim.
Holy shit that clip of her and Colleen Hoover and Brandon is insane. "Where have you seen this??" And Colleen mentions seeing it on IG and Brandon takes the opportunity to take a sip from his cup and then laughs obviously just to placate Blake. You can TELL that they're terrified of upsetting her. So cringe I could barely even LOOK at the screen. The second hand embarrassment is real with this one.
And did u see how Brandon looks at her as she responds? He looks confused lol
I don’t think her celebrity friends backing her means anything. It just means she has celebrity friends. Justin has the support from the crew who worked on the film and the public who can see through the Hollywood bs and know that he didn’t do anything wrong and she is just butthurt that her reputation got trashed and feels like he is to blame for it because everyone felt bad for him because she literally segregated him from promotional content.
If she wanted the public on her side, she would have done what Justin did and take the movie’s message more seriously when it came to promoting it and stop promoting herself. And I don’t think it was weird of Justin’s lawyer to bring up that Blake didn’t read the book because to Justin, it was a passion project. To Blake it was a business move and also Colleen might be backing Blake but Colleen Hoover also tried to create a coloring book based off her novel that is about dv, so great minds think alike.
I always said that this lawsuit it clearly her trying to suit for defamation but since he did not do anything directly to defame her, she could not sue him on those grounds so she found her own workaround and it’s backfiring.
Colleen also defended her son when he SA'd a minor. Her morals are easily discarded when convenient for her.
thankyou for typing that, and YES
I partially feel like her celebrity friends do make a difference.. especially when one celebrity has a huge following of fans that blindly follow, and a lot of money. It’s a group of bullies that all have too much money.

This whole situation is giving me fatigue 😭
Honestly, I'm disappointed in The NYT, why can't we have one serious, intelligent newspaper in North America?
I want to see Justin’s cut of the movie. Period.
if only he wasn’t such a bad actor
Here's the thing even Blake didn't expect this to go this far. she thought she can throw some baseless accusations and ruin mans reputation based on an article, and get all the attention and praise and that will be that. she didn't expect him to stand up for himself, fight back and bring receipts, now she dug a hole for herself because now she has to go through with it and keep claiming harassment etc but she wont be able to prove a thing in court because all the evidence show she's a manipulative lying bully
I think the comments that say “this movie doesn’t deserve this attention” or “it wasn’t good enough for all this drama” this isn’t drama, this is a celebrity using her power and status against people she thinks are beneath her, stuff like this deserves attention and needs to be heard, women who use the fact that people will believe them when they knowingly falsely accuse someone of sexual harassment IS serious.
Agreed. Another rich person running the world like they have no one to answer to
The Lawyers on JBs team are amazing. Freedman has taken on news sources previously, Benson whole law career focus on SH in workplaces, Sunshine has dealt with industry PR before, and all of them have gotten 8fig settlements.

Blake is very relaxed and taking up space, while they seem kinda silent and small. I mean the way Blake is sitting, she clearly believes she’s the star. Which I mean , I guess she’s not wrong, but it definitely comes off as obnoxious and inconsiderate, not like they’re just good friends all hanging out. Come to think of it, that’s how she seems to be in all these cast interviews
they did not seem to enjoy her.
Like they’re scared of her!
@@ponchomom they weren't intimidated at all.
The only real takeaway from this situation is the public is as stupid as ever, confidently stating who is right or wrong without clear evidence on both sides being made public or a trial even having commenced, simply coming down to which person has the "vibes" they mesh with from videos on their algorithm. Humanity at it's utter finest.
So thankful to see another rational level headed person in the comments. At this point, I don’t know what to believe. I’m going to wait until there is more evidence to have an opinion. It is concerning how quickly people are willing to have a passionate opinion either way without considering the nuances of the situation.
It’s really disturbing. Ppl just get off on hating
Let’s be real: the internet acts like it rides the moral high horse at all times but actually doesn‘t give a damn about „truth“ or whatever - ppl just want to be entertained at the end of the day …
@alahna- have you actually read both lawsuits !? accompanied with the evidence that both parties provide ?5
@@nothankyou7979 the main point of social media, basically.
The Jonny Depp vs Amber Heard of 2025;
Already got my popcorn popped.
It’s not a tv show.
Dude when Blake came out with her story and everyone started backing her up, that’s exactly what I said!! But people were like «This is nothing like Depp V. Heard» Smh
@@howdypartna dude, neither was Johnny Depp and Amber Turd’s Back and Forth Assault / Abuse / Allegations- case, either …?
@@howdypartna admittedly the popcorn sentiment was in poor taste, I shouldn’t have added that in an attempt to bring amusement to others.
Tbh i think im siding with justin on this.
Sammmmeeeee. This IS what these guys do. This is crisis management. Girly bop hated that she lost and tried a Hail Mary.
We all are
@@Hey367Lo A Hail Mary? 😂
@@abbied it’s a North American football term. Basically means… When you’ve got no chance so you try something crazy
@@Hey367Lo 👍🏻👌🏻
We all know of people like Blake Lively. The ones who are self-entitled, never know how to read the room, arrogant, zero accountability, etc.
Blake Lively appears to encompass those traits.
Same can be said about ppl that like that creep baldoni
I’m a female lawyer and early in my career an older female lawyer let me do her work while making twice my salary. She talked to me like I was small and flaunted her lifestyle. And she was suppose to be a peer technically. It was a horrible time in my life. Blake reminds me of her.
All this for a mediocre movie and actress😂
Maybe thats part of this whole scheme 😂.
@ ready with more popcorn 😂
OMG yes!
It could’ve been a good movie and it honestly sends a message to both men and women, if you are willing to listen, but the whole scandal of the drama behind the film kind of overshadows the plot and true message of the movie….
It’s just all such a mess.
The movie turned out like that because you can tell there were two ideas not meeting up. It just seemed off well now we know why because blake wanted all her ideas and not go for the one that was already script.
Now I know why he said Blake should direct the next one
I just wanna mention that collaboration in order to ensure it’s filmed through a female gaze and Blake lively, taking over and completely shutting him out are two different things
Fake Lively and Cryin' Reynolds should be "sued into oblivion" by Justice Baldoni!
I believe him...just look at every other case like this. If he was really guilty other women would be coming forward ESPECIALLY after someone as famous as BL.....nothing.....crickets. I think this time they'll be some solid evidence behind this lawsuit. I hope he buries her if what they claim is true.
I AM begging Justins lawyer to wear florals in court.
Justice for Justin baldoni 🙏🏼🙏🏼💜
Imagine being told you cant go to your own premier 🤯 Blake is a bully.
She sent him to the basement wtf
Never been this early for the tea
14:45
That's not really fair commentary. There is a difference between industry experienced women who are intimacy coordinators or directors, and an actress. Blake herself even saying she's not supposed to act as the intimacy coordinator. Nor is she supposed to dictate costume changes, override the budget, and make horrible false harassment claimes.
Whoever is writing 2025’s script needs to cool is cause it’s barely the beginning of January 😭😭
2025 wanted to start with a bang, apparently there's a new virus making some weird waves in the world called HMPV, because of the winter season.
The public makes up their own mind - not influenced by the power of RR and BL
I’m disgusted with myself how much I enjoy this lawsuit 😂😂😂
Grace to you…😊
Same.😢
😂😂
She is acting the victim but is the bully. How can the director and major actor in the film be pushed out of the poster and red carpet?
Eventhough i like Blake as in Adeline, this is getting too much. I really feel bad for Justin. I hope Justin get the justice as he deserved from all the evidence we've seen + heard so far.
I’ve never clicked faster 😂
So hooked
Real😭 lowkey want to see her downfall and lowkey Ryan Reynolds as well now that DeadPool 3 is done like he feels like such an asshole as well lmaoooo
It is over for Blake because her lawsuit is petty and ludicrous. Allegedly Justin kiss her a bit too long during a kissing scene? That's her justification of filling the complaint and now lawsuit? No one would dare to even look at her funny.
So petty and ludicrous! 😂
This is awesome! Your humility in success is something to be proud of.
the thing is that it is normal for us as a society to believe the woman or man who speaks up about sexual harassment first. because it's so dangerous not to. The sad thing is that it's turning out like what happened with amber and Jonny where the public first sided with amber until more information came out. Jonny just had to grin in bare it till the tide turned. . Justin ( if he is innocent) will have to wait for his day in court to prove his innocence.
I'm not siding with one or the other till more information comes out but so far considering what has been released now and during the whole movie release- it's not looking good for blake -- at least in my opinion.
Amber heard is terrible person for what she did but Johnny isn’t innocent either, as we’ve seen in their trail.
Didn't Justin start the smear campaign first?
@@seaofgeeseNo lol it was her or the cast started saying slick stuff
In the sense that he revealed to the public that she was taking over the production, yes. Imo, once he did that she took the gloves off.
@@seaofgeese No, it was never even a smear campaign, he hired PR to protect the reputation of the film when Blake started attracting horrible attention and a rift began. It was a pre-emptive getting ahead of potential negative press towards the film/Blake looking like a further AH.
Blake has never had my support even before this movie. 😐
Justin seems genuine in his beliefs. I can't stop picturing Gabbie from the premiere
Nothing about him is genuine yall drinking the koolaid
Personally, I believe BL and RR massively miscalculated everything about the lawsuit they filed against JB. I don't think they expected JB to go on the offense like this and for public opinion to be so much in his favour as a result. They probably believed it would all be quietly settled out of court with nobody any the wiser about any of the details. Instead, they're looking really bad so far, even if only half the things are true that are being alleged about them. We'll see how this all develops but in any case, I highly doubt that things are going the way they thought they would...
I think the lawyer brought up that Blake didn’t read the book to point out how she is weaponizing feminism and Me Too to fill her own agenda without understanding the message of her own film she said she was so passionate about when really she didn’t understand the story or know it fully, while Justin did in order to do his job right and make sure he had all the tools to make the film and character from the book so the message would come across properly. Blake Lively is a bigger name in the industry, and yes she has her own success, but it’s due to her marriage that she is as popular as she is. And it shows with how many other actors instantly backed her up even though they had nothing to do with her film or some have never even met Justin, it felt almost like she had her team call up any one she had worked with before to make them put out statements. Blake has not worked with the women of Travelling Pants for YEARS, and it’s not to say they aren’t still friends, but it’s weird they called back to how she was when she was a literal teenager as a explanation of her character when she is a literal adult now. Who also got married on a plantation, romanticized the south during and even before segregation times, and had some micro racist moments that have been scrubbed from the internet magically till more recent.
Also where is this attitude with feminism when it comes to Woody Allen? She loves him and worked with him despite it being PUBLIC knowledge what he did to not only his step daughter, now wife, but possibly also his adoptive daughter who is always claims isn’t his despite the fact she saw him as a father because that is the role he filled in her life, as much as he refused it so he would feel less guilt and shame for his horrific actions. His films, especially the ones he stars in show his attitude towards not only women but minors being in “relationships” that are predatory with old men like him.
If they are going to sue them to oblivion, it will be crazy and the end of Blake. 😳😳😳😳
I just don’t understand why Blake + Justin think that this movie was going to be some sort of masterpiece; was the book popular yes…. But it’s not like a Christopher Nolan movie. What was her hang up with wanting to take over this movie so much?
My thoughts exactly what was so significant about this movie venture for her
I’ve never liked Blake, ever. She reminds me of my cousin and that’s all I needed to know 😂🤦🏻♀️ so w that said I don’t keep up w her career at all, besides showing up to fashion shows award shows etc or being RR wife, when was the last time she acted? Was she thinking maybe this was going to be her big plunge back in or? Bc I know one of her movies that was popular w Anna Kendrick was getting a sequel after a long period of time but straight to streaming no theatre so maybe she was hoping she was gonnah really boost her and market her for a particular genre or? Idk just wondering bc idk how much she’s acted in literally like the last 10 years? And from what I understand the role of Lilly? Was a much younger girl in the books compared to Blake so maybe she sees this as her one shot? Or thought it was?
I could be wrong, so please don't take this as gospel but I thought I read that there are more books/movie rights from this author or this books series and that Blake wanted to do the next one also and Justin declined. I believe I heard someone suggest this is what set Blake off at the very beginning of this whole mess but I haven't heard anything about it since. I honestly could be wrong. The only thing I know about this situation is what I have seen on social media.
@ i understand why Justin wanted to do it and where his headspace was (him writing to the author and buying the rights and wanting to tell the story that i understand) I just don’t understand her issue with it.
@ oooh! Maybe I had the timeline wrong? I thought he declined after or midway (like thinking to himself I’m not going through this again) when things started going bad with her. But that would make a lot of sense because I was going to say (and again like you not gospel) everyone is saying Justin did something (not to her) but that hurt her ego in some way and that’s kindah what started this literal spiral, but your point of view/timeline makes a lot
Of sense.
Did he ever talk about making more movies from IEWU? or was he always only just doing the one movie to focus on sending the message of DV/abuse etc? Bc that makes sense to me, I know he bought the rights to the first book (idk how many there are) is there any proof or anything in writing showing he bought the rights to the other books? Or was planning to?
Not the captions saying “female gays” instead of female GAZE HAHAHAHA
I honestly think that because the texts were not complete, others could blame him. But once I saw the texts in context, I realized that Justin was being railroaded. I honestly think BL should drop this as she is ruining her career and possibly her husband’s.
This is better than the actual movie
If Justin proves that he’s right and Blake is the bully I think the people that came to “support”Blake should be canceled as well!
Some already were Amber Turd/Heard is supporting her 😂😂😂😂
The way people switch so fast from sides hahhaha 😂
really
welcome to the internet 😭🙏
@Romantic_Juliet I am learning this. I don't like it. Ppl should stick to what they mean when they are passionate about the subject.
Protecting yourself is bullying only to bullies
exactly, she returned because she was not bullied, she is the bully
You know who is also guilty of bullying Justin? The cast and author of the book. They had no brain and conscience, blindly obeying Blake and betraying the director who gave them this incredible opportunity. If Blake is canceled, so should they be. In a passive aggressive way, they betrayed and bullied Justin (by unfollowing him and not promoting the film with him) while they should be beyond grateful to him for giving them an incredible and life-changing opportunity. Their actions are despicable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The question I have is now with Ryan Reynolds. What man marries a woman like that and has kids with?
You’re just questioning him now? He cheated on Scarlett Johansson with Blake. They both lack morals. Perfect match
@@janetperez7509 Im sorry. I have to honest. I'm late to the story. Wow how long has this been happening?
ryan reynolds is notorious for not being a good person so don’t be shocked lol
The fact that all of this drama is going down when Netflix got Gossip Girl makes me feel like I'm watching a reality TV show now 😂
She got her way during the movie so she thought she'd get her way when she filed......
thank you!!!
youre the only few youtubers who have common sense on this, its crazy to see many others jumped on the bandwagon to defend her smh
It's me ptsd from the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case.
It ends with us 2 should be about how Justin Baldoni suffered Blake Lively's abusive manipulative behavior
💯
lmao okay sexist
Ryan is going down as well😂😂😂
At 12:26, The interviewer asks Blake, you were teaching Justin on how to pull you in.. She immediately tries to hide it by saying, "Where have u seen this?".. The author who sits next to her makes a snide comment as she has seen that in instagram as well and the sarcastic laughter by Brandon screams she is a liar, manipulator who tried seducing Justin...and now trying to cover it up..
Awesome work! Humility in your achievements is notable.
I don't think he wanted blake to be so involved but when interviewed justin just said he stepped back and let the female take over etc simply to not bitch about blake in the interview, he was trying to smooth out the situation for the sake of avoiding more drama
