As a DV and rape victim, I had promised not to take sides, but after seeing these messages, I'm crying. I can't support Blake or her husband ever again. Instead, I stand with Baldonni.

When all the cast members defended Blake Lively, somehow it reminded me of my experience back in high school, when all my classmates bullied one girl. She was accused of stealing an expensive pen belonged to the richest girl in my class, and turned out she wasn't even the culprit. This rich girl was so influential, all people just flocked into her side and isolated the poor bullied girl. I'm ashamed I didn't do anything back then, since I was such a coward, I was afraid that the rich girl will do something to harm me too. I'm still unsure of what truly happened in this Lively-Baldoni saga, but perhaps this herd mentality is what make all the cast-members flocking together on defending Lively.
@@Najib99 Yes, I agree. Also It's easier for us to believe in what apparently true, or believe what our ally or family members are telling us to be truthful, without doing any due diligence. Bullies sometimes use his/her massive group of friends to repressed someone. These friends maybe innocent, they just believe whatever the bully told them to be true
That happened at my job, and the bully making a girl cry and apologize to me, which was uncalled for. The girl did nothing wrong and I told her not to worry, but even I had days of fear and tears with the bully.
These two bullies maybe suggested that the other actors side with them or else… Or maybe they promised them a role in a future movie, I think that this is true for one of the actors, or maybe they were all scared of BL and RR? I recognized bullies when I see them. Yes, many of us have been in that situation. In high school I was isolated by bullies but I always kept my eyes on the price: my diploma at the end of it, and I was fine with having less popular but nice friends.
@@joannlarson6386 I think the author just sided with Blake because she wanted to merchandise and make money off the topic of DV just as much as Blake did. And I think with Blake’s tactics, she had probably made it hard for anyone to stand up for Baldoni.
She literally bullied that man we all knew it from the beginning, but people are so fickle. She took over she dominated she kept asking for more and more and it seems like she plays games. She’s not a professional and her and her husband can stuck it.
I read that Ryan is very controling. If this is true sounds like Ryan and Blake just took over this whole production and wanted to do what they wanted with the movie even though it was Justins movie. Justin was in a tough spot dealing with a Hollywood powercouple that gave him no respect and did not allow him as the director to do the movie he waited so long to director. She was given a credit to be a co producer but looks like her and Ryan could not settle for that they wanted the whole pie.
It was clearly since the beginning. He wanted a woke movie about domestic violence. She wanted a drama/romantic/flower/blossom movie not woke at all. Ryan and Blake put their money in the movie and the audience was clearly enough with all this woke shit. Deadpool movie was making fun of woke culture. The problem was that they decided to completely ignore to talk about the issue in a movie which this is the great subject. It was weird. It seems she was promoting a lovely romantic movie, her hair products and giving a shit to domestic violence victims. That was bad for her between the audience. Then some interviewer put a viral video on UA-cam showing Blake being a bicth during the interview. She got burned on IG and Twiter/X. For me Blake and Ryan weren't smart enough dealing with the PR and marketing of the movie and of themselves. Some people took tye side of the director. And now they want to put all the blame on him based in nothing.
@@LaraCroftEyes1Blake wanted a vehicle to compete with Margo Robbie. She wanted a Barbie movement with the Deadpool movie, but totally made a fool of herself. Now she is doubling down like an entitled child.
JB and team probably won't bc he doesn't want to damage that relationship. But critical thinkers understand that Sony did nothing to stop Blake or Ryan from taking over the project. They implicitly sided with them so I don't blame JB and team for conceding so much.
@@shortyp1000 Sony also did not permit Justin or Wayfarer studios at the premiere with the rest of the cast, as demanded by Blake/Ryan. He and his family were confined to the basement until she left and also had to view the movie in a different theater. (She originally demanded that he not be allowed at the premiere at all, but under pressure “let them”). She made sure he was not in the poster and did not get “A film by…” credit. This is all in his lawsuit
Blake and Ryan abused their power and used threats and intimidation and threats they would make false claims against people to take over, they hired an outside person to recut the movie, but Blake said if his cut tested higher with audiences than hers, she would go with his cut, but when it did test higher, she still insisted on going with her cut. What she really did was put a lot of his or most of his cut back in place and still claimed it was her cut so she could take credit for the work of other people. Blake didn't just cut out Justin Baldoni, she cut our all the Wayfarer people by saying they were either cut out or she wouldn't promote the movie, and wouldn't even let them be a part of the PR celebrations, she ostracized them all. All so she could steal the credit and glory for other people's work.
Great video commentary Frank. I look forward to seeing many beautiful and emotionally sincere movies directed by Justin Baldoni. Living his truth and thriving... is what all peace loving people want for him. Xx
We need to boycott Ryan’s next movie!!! This is the only way these clowns will get it. They think they have power but we the audience are the only ones with the power.
It's too bad, in the end it was her. They are many other actresses who could take on that role as good and even better then her. Also, add to positive work environment. And most of all, hold space for the movies sensitive subject and powerful message of hope instead of making it about her and her products. She started her own smear campaign. You are right Frank, people are over wokeness, extreme sides, false claimers of "me too", entitled celebrities flaunting themselves and their wealth to the world. The star struck times are over. It's time to bring balance in the world. It all comes out in the end.
@@victoriaStavrou-fs5xc Not sure who this is. Will look her up. Please note I don’t hate this actress. It’s just a shame when there are so many other actresses who could have done a nice job and not have all this drama, taking away from the meaning of the book/film. Hollywood is over
I've always been team Justin. I did not see the movie but I did see clips and what I saw was Justin acting and Blake holding back in an effort to exert control over him. Every once in awhile she'd give in and act in the scene and it was pure magic and I believe it's those little instances that pulled the public in. But overall I didn't like her portrayal of the character because of her calculated restraint. Look how Justin handled all of this. That's a man who walks his talk, someone of deep faith and morals for how he moves in the world. It is highly, highly unlikely he did a damn thing to her
Just got a punch in the gut feeling that BL is 100% playing the sexual harrasment card. She most likely knows that's the biggest way to get people on her side. If so that is Unbelievable and egregious bahavior as I have ever seen.
That was my first thought when her complaint came out. Her reputation was getting slammed based on her own interview and press tour. Then without addressing any of that legitimate criticism, she files a “sexual harassment” and “fat shaming” complaint over a bunch of harmless encounters…nahhhh
Compare how Blake Lively talked about this film (promoting her businesses and husband's film) to how Anna Kendrick talked about the victims in Alice Darling and Woman of the Hour (and how she wouldn't take money from the latter even though she directed as well, donated it to victim organization).
Anna Kendrick is an intelligent woman and a brilliant actress. I'm not surprised she showed such integrity about a DV movie. Anna has strength of character - she could play the lead role in a similar (DV) topic movie.
And Blake’s lawsuit complains that she “lost revenue” , undoubtedly her alcohol and hair products, due to Justin. She’s only thinking about money. And to blame him for her products failing is ludicrous.
@@Daniela-Christianson She might not do it for that reason, but that would really be fantastic. They would have to replace Ryle tho too since he would look so much older. But it might be a great movie.
In my opinion, she did not suit Sony because she just wanted to have her news to go through the Times rather to suit anyone about her complain. She did not think that Justin will suit the Times. Good for Justine , enough is enough .
But of course. I work in the Entertainment Industry here in London with Globally successful artists, bands and A list actors. I am back and forth to the States several times a month. Blake Lively has been ruining her reputation through being unpleasant, rude, a bully and vindictive in numerous interviews over the years, not just the ones which have come to light. She did that to herself and is now trying to muddy the waters. Jada Pinkett Smith, Meghan Markle, Amber Heard, Blake Lively.... all different iterations of the same narcissist. I see it often. And also interestingly enough, all represented by another agency WME 🤔🇬🇧
Now I don't know about the harassment claims but I def know that the movie felt unorganic and it sucked overall eventhough it had its finer moments. Seems like BL has ruined the movie by thinking she's good at everything just like she thinks she knows anything about fashion. Yo Blake, you only played a fashionista in Gossip Girl, that alone doesn't make you one! 😂
Gosh I'm all about standing by your spouse but when your spouse lies on a man's character that's another story. I loved Ryan Reynolds but hearing he used his status to hurt someone it tells me everything I need to know about him😢
Blake is unbelievable in the worst ways. So far, her whole motivation for suing Baldoni comes down to the fact that she got exposed for co-opting someone else’s movie. WHY didn’t she file sexual harassment claims earlier? Because M-O-N-E-Y. Really hideous morals there
It was extortion, like the letter said at 12:56. She threatened them to get the undeserved producer and PGA credit. She/Ryan are horrible people! Cancel them!
I remember thinking that even if Johnny snapped once or twice and got rough while trying to defend himself and get away? Did that then make him an abuser too? No. So even if Justin hired people to let the world know who Blake truly was as an offensive move because he couldn’t be sure that she wouldn’t be doing the same thing after everything else he claims she was doing? Does that then make him the abuser? As of now, I’m thinking no. It’s possible they’re both POS’s. But I’m leaning towards this being just another instance of her narcissistic bullying of those she considers less important.
Remember its not only with Justin but the entire team of Wayfarer including the billionaire owner that she complained about. They may got too pissed and annoyed with her that they are willing to spend millions to bury her But reading JB court filing which are actual conversation screenshots contrary to BL's copy pasted images, it seemed that she made up everything, as in nothing was ever true from all her complaints
You assume that some of her allegations are truth when in fact she is fabricating it all. She is an actress who lies for a living. Its not difficult to make everything up out of thin air. Not all lies are based in truth.
He proved in the new lawsuit that the pr firm did nothing and was being sarcastic because Kiersti Flawsome did it all aka Blake buried herself in the YT interview. So the pr ladies were sarcastically saying hi five… Good work ( 🙃 with this emogi suspiciously omitted by NYT ) denotes sarcasm!! By NYT maliciously blamed the pr firm for a Blake takedowns which was actually caused by Blakes bullying since Years ago!! Karma doesn’t always happen instantly. But when Karma comes, Karma is a biiitch.
The Johny Depp situation is very different. Hiring a PR team and slapping someone or wishing she was dead with detail on how he would kill and burry her is very different. He was found guilty of domestic violence. Plus Jonhy Depp could have left her any time. He did not need financial security from her. And I would say the same for her, she could and should have left anytime. Way sooner. The trial showed that they were both fucking crazy in their relationship and it made 0 sense that they both stayed together in their craziness. He was indeed an abuser and she was as well. Two celebrities who wasted the time of a judge for their foolishness. Justin invested in this movie, it was his project, he could not just fire her. He was stuck with her until the end of the promotion and that's what he did. Sucking it up because he had no power and financial security to do anything. And if he had done anything I can't imagine what Ryan and Blake would have invented. His mistake was to hire her to begin with. With her reputation I wonder where he got that idea from.
wow this is unbelievable. Justin should kick her out when she started to behave like a diva. He should produce this movie with another actor. Now he has spend a lot of money.
It's ironic and tragic-a movie about domestic violence, yet Justin experienced a form of abuse from Blake and her husband, mirroring the very issue the film portrays. Shame on Blake. No wonder she was tone def when promoting the film. A total narcissist.
The fact Lively didnt sue Sony is very telling . Lots of things being put into context sheds light into how it all went down. Baldoni seems like a sweet guy maybe a little like a hippy? Totally rubbed Blake and Ryan the wrong way apparently.
it was literally a nightmare for Justin. worse than i thought...i knew he was hospitalised but reading the texts, his anguish throught out all of this, the fact he sucked it up because at least the message reached many people..i can't...''i don't wanna hurt her''.
I watched the movie last night. First of all the girl that played the young Lilly was a better actor than Blake. Second, the way Blake dressed in the movie was silly. Blake was not good and Justin was amazing playing such a difficult role.
This is eye-opening information for novice actors, producers, directors, editors, sound ppl, costume, make-up, etc... Sometimes we wonder how actors all of a sudden become more influential and powerful for being so basic. Here it is! BTW Lively was probably trying to write-off those $5k boots as a business expense on her taxes😂 I think in the end this is going to make her seem as though shes difficult to work with. Career suicid*
Glad you are still doing these analysis and think you are quite correct re someone I admired until her bullying came to light She's talented but not that good, that the Diva behaviour should be tolerated. Happy New Year for you, your family and your beautiful baby. Love, light, great happiness and success .❤️💯
I agree with you a real case of sexual harassment will be focused on the victim safety. BL didn’t removed herself of that supposed situation even she has financial and power means to get out. Nope BL saw a situation and manipulative way used it to take over the movie. Maybe if it was different kind of movie will work but with DV her style didn’t work. Her Narcissistic personality couldn’t handle it
Solace (sul-is) it’s something that gives your comfort amidst sorrow or hardship or when in trouble or in distress. It can also be “consolation” that you find in difficult times.
I hope the truth comes out. Whichever way. This cancel culture needs to stop until all facts are confirmed. Seems we haven’t learnt anything about cancelling people and accusing them of S**** or abuse issue like from the Johnny Depp case. 😢
Blake should have more class and be the better person considering the fame and wealth she have.Its nice to be important but its more important to be nice.
Exactly it seems like she was already trying to take over the movie pushing her husband in to it, to write parts of it. And anyone who actually had the writes to the book would be pretty miffed at her for not working together with people!!!!??? And now she has used certain allegations to make him look bad to get her way!?!? We'll wait for the other evidence. Why did she continue the movie if she was so uncomfortable!?!? I get sometimes you feel guilty with letting the other team down. But is weird, control issues by the sounds.
I hope more people look closely into both sides of this. Some of the information in this video I haven’t seen until now. For example how Justin was trying very hard to appease Blake and Ryan, his determination to “take the high road.” It’s just sad. Unless you’ve had to experience the heartbreak firsthand of being manipulated and betrayed by the very people whom you formerly thought were friends, swore up and down they would have your back, it’s all too easy to fall for things such as PR media influence. Or framing a person and situations in whatever light suits the desired narrative. I just think it’s interesting, that some people fully believe that there’s no one out there who can see through manipulation, people can easily ruin their own reputation by regular people observing their behaviour in interviews or anything else that they seek out on their own, organically. Many people can spot a manipulated narrative a mile away so they’re able to ignore that and search for the truth. Or that money can’t necessarily buy you a good reputation. The truth is coming to light and the masks are dropping more than ever! Maybe it’s time for anyone who at least WANTS to be better, to do so. Make it authentic and real. People who KNOW truth, the people who should truly matter to you, will see you for who and what you truly are. Every adult has choices and if what you want is for people to see you as a more likeable, relatable human being? Slinging unvarifiable accusations, half truths, exaggerations or lies without any context or witnesses (not that witnesses are necessarily trustworthy and can’t be bribed or intimidated themselves.) to make someone come across as unlikable as possible, in the form of legal documents, which many people falsely believe are required to be factual, which resulted in many people promoting them as fact on their own platforms online……..not what makes a good person! (personally, when I read that it made me dislike her more! And I’m trying to be fair! I truly am! I look for redeeming qualities in anyone and everyone. I just know, sadly from experience (yet I’m grateful for the lessons and resulting wisdom.) with being the target many times. Neurodivergent individuals tend to be targeted often. I hate to sound like I’m trying to be a victim. Not the case. It’s something I rarely mention. It’s a reality however and something I wish more people were conscious of and made highly aware of. Especially in working environments! Bosses, people in positions of power, need to be aware and look out for this very real pattern and problem. AnywaySome documents are required to be factual like a signed affidavit. However what was recently made available to the media, an initial complaint is just a complaint. It included far more, potentially manipulated details than necessary (such as the text “receipts” that were explained later to be completely different in context than they were intended to sound and many others that didn’t fit the narrative were obviously not included. It was so clearly written in order to speak to the media more than the courts. To be fair, Justin’s response to hers probably was similar in that respect. He wanted to put his side out to the media as well. He had every reason and right to. They both did! At least be honest about your side though! I just hope, in my heart, that people will stop and think before automatically going along with an opinion or narrative that is presented, even from sources they might respect. Do your own research and think for yourself. Maybe the best thing that comes out of this, as sad as it all is to me, I have hope that the greater mass of public opinion will stop simply going along with exactly that and instead stop being afraid to question what is presented and do their own deep dives into people and everything online! Especially with the technology available now. It’s never been more clear important to avoid jumping to conclusions or on any bandwagons. Also lean on the side of kindness for others. Give other people the benefit of the doubt. It’s just a good thing to practice and if you’re slow to get angry and accusatory? It’s surprising how much more calm and peaceful you end up feeling in life and other circumstances. I’m still working on it as these things are always a matter of practice and time. I think paying attention to this sort of stuff, as counterintuitive as it may seem, it can be helpful for developing your skills and understanding how to get to the truth in life. As well as just practicing rooting for and pursuing the truth regardless of preconceived beliefs or biases you may have had for people. In this example at least.
Blake and Ryan are just....nope (cringe). You guys are just.... ugh. They drank too much of their own Kool-Aid. I'm team Justin in this case, unless she has solid evidence, which I'm doubting now.
Why don't they replace her with Scarlett Johnson the movie will definitely be a hit. Blake lively does not belong in the film industry you can't trust her who would hire her if she did this to Justin Bardoni she will do it to any other producer. We love you Justin you will get over this and he will bless you with success . Karma is getting her.
The writers have to readdress the stories to fit in the boots ? Not even Baldoni is cloning up with that. Only now she’s raising S harassment? She went to Sony and Baldoni studios years ago !
As someone who read the books, it really annoyed me how they completely changed Lily’s character, and now we know why. It’s because of Blake apparently. Lily is supposed to be a fresh college graduate so early 20’s woman, naturally red headed, and not particularly wealthy. She’s maybe middle class. And her wardrobe is NOTHING like what was portrayed in the movie. I’ll admit I was surprised they even cast Blake and aged up everyone. But it still maybe could have worked if they stuck to the source material. Justifying the boots and making her seem wealthy with a trash sense of fashion completely ignores who the actual character is. They also ruined the message of the film by not making it the center point of promo. Avoiding talking about DV in a DV movie has to be the dumbest move. And the way they portray it at the end of the film is like Lily didn’t know all this time what really happened. That’s so wrong. Lily knew and she’s struggling and justifying the violence from her partner until she realizes she can’t keep giving this man chances and has to choose herself and her baby daughter first. She doesn’t wanna end up like her mother. That’s the point of it ends with us.
@@LaraCroftEyes1 at that point it’s an issue with the source material. Ryle at the end isn’t pleased but still agrees. In book 2 Lily lays down more boundaries for him, and he is still angry but reluctantly follows. But it’s how Colleen Hoover wrote the books. The tension isn’t realistic but there’s still some minor conflicts Lily has to face while co parenting, even in book 2.
I'm not bothered by the fact that she's a woman with power. She was hired as an ACTRESS, to play a role. The fact that Sony allowed her to completely take over creative control of the film is unacceptable. It's mind-blowing that Justin as the director and as the person who owns the rights to the books, was completely pushed aside and wasn't even allowed to see the final cut of the film ahead of time.
Yes he did. I’m still trying to figure out why she didn’t walk off set and waited 4 month to report it. Also, her husband was on set. What a weak a**pair.
I think Justin should make a movie about the making of his movie and how he was a victim of abuse of power!

She literally bullied that man we all knew it from the beginning, but people are so fickle. She took over she dominated she kept asking for more and more and it seems like she plays games. She’s not a professional and her and her husband can stuck it.
Team Justin
I read that Ryan is very controling. If this is true sounds like Ryan and Blake just took over this whole production and wanted to do what they wanted with the movie even though it was Justins movie. Justin was in a tough spot dealing with a Hollywood powercouple that gave him no respect and did not allow him as the director to do the movie he waited so long to director. She was given a credit to be a co producer but looks like her and Ryan could not settle for that they wanted the whole pie.
I knew this was about control!
Yep
It was clearly since the beginning.
He wanted a woke movie about domestic violence.
She wanted a drama/romantic/flower/blossom movie not woke at all.
Ryan and Blake put their money in the movie and the audience was clearly enough with all this woke shit.
Deadpool movie was making fun of woke culture.
The problem was that they decided to completely ignore to talk about the issue in a movie which this is the great subject.
It was weird. It seems she was promoting a lovely romantic movie, her hair products and giving a shit to domestic violence victims.
That was bad for her between the audience. Then some interviewer put a viral video on UA-cam showing Blake being a bicth during the interview. She got burned on IG and Twiter/X.
For me Blake and Ryan weren't smart enough dealing with the PR and marketing of the movie and of themselves.
Some people took tye side of the director.
And now they want to put all the blame on him based in nothing.
Blake didn't want a drama movie about domestic violence; she wanted a romantic comedy about domestic violence Blake is a feminist and a woke actress.
@@LaraCroftEyes1Blake wanted a vehicle to compete with Margo Robbie. She wanted a Barbie movement with the Deadpool movie, but totally made a fool of herself. Now she is doubling down like an entitled child.
@ I agree with most that you stated but why do you call the movie woke? Curious is all
I feel so bad for Justin
I hope they sue Sony too.
JB and team probably won't bc he doesn't want to damage that relationship. But critical thinkers understand that Sony did nothing to stop Blake or Ryan from taking over the project. They implicitly sided with them so I don't blame JB and team for conceding so much.
@@shortyp1000 Sony also did not permit Justin or Wayfarer studios at the premiere with the rest of the cast, as demanded by Blake/Ryan. He and his family were confined to the basement until she left and also had to view the movie in a different theater. (She originally demanded that he not be allowed at the premiere at all, but under pressure “let them”). She made sure he was not in the poster and did not get “A film by…” credit. This is all in his lawsuit
Blake and Ryan abused their power and used threats and intimidation and threats they would make false claims against people to take over, they hired an outside person to recut the movie, but Blake said if his cut tested higher with audiences than hers, she would go with his cut, but when it did test higher, she still insisted on going with her cut.
What she really did was put a lot of his or most of his cut back in place and still claimed it was her cut so she could take credit for the work of other people.
Blake didn't just cut out Justin Baldoni, she cut our all the Wayfarer people by saying they were either cut out or she wouldn't promote the movie, and wouldn't even let them be a part of the PR celebrations, she ostracized them all. All so she could steal the credit and glory for other people's work.
Great video commentary Frank.
I look forward to seeing many beautiful and emotionally sincere movies directed by Justin Baldoni. Living his truth and thriving... is what all peace loving people want for him. Xx
We need to boycott Ryan’s next movie!!! This is the only way these clowns will get it. They think they have power but we the audience are the only ones with the power.
It's too bad, in the end it was her. They are many other actresses who could take on that role as good and even better then her. Also, add to positive work environment. And most of all, hold space for the movies sensitive subject and powerful message of hope instead of making it about her and her products. She started her own smear campaign. You are right Frank, people are over wokeness, extreme sides, false claimers of "me too", entitled celebrities flaunting themselves and their wealth to the world. The star struck times are over. It's time to bring balance in the world. It all comes out in the end.
D list actress. I will never watch her in anything.
Isabela Ferrer should have the main character!
Beautiful and age appropriate for the role❤
Isabela Ferrer ❤
@@victoriaStavrou-fs5xc Not sure who this is. Will look her up.
Please note I don’t hate this actress. It’s just a shame when there are so many other actresses who could have done a nice job and not have all this drama, taking away from the meaning of the book/film.
Hollywood is over
@ Isabela Ferrer plays younger Blake in the movie.
She is 25
She would’ve been perfect for the main character role !
I've always been team Justin. I did not see the movie but I did see clips and what I saw was Justin acting and Blake holding back in an effort to exert control over him. Every once in awhile she'd give in and act in the scene and it was pure magic and I believe it's those little instances that pulled the public in. But overall I didn't like her portrayal of the character because of her calculated restraint. Look how Justin handled all of this. That's a man who walks his talk, someone of deep faith and morals for how he moves in the world. It is highly, highly unlikely he did a damn thing to her
unbelievable ! I feel for Justin being overruled by her en Ryan, such awful people
I'm truly annoyed that Sony allowed this behavior from Blake and Reynolds. They didn't intervene in any meaningful way.
@@shortyp1000they didn't protect their director
Just got a punch in the gut feeling that BL is 100% playing the sexual harrasment card. She most likely knows that's the biggest way to get people on her side. If so that is Unbelievable and egregious bahavior as I have ever seen.
💯 💯 💯 💯 💯💯💯
That was my first thought when her complaint came out. Her reputation was getting slammed based on her own interview and press tour. Then without addressing any of that legitimate criticism, she files a “sexual harassment” and “fat shaming” complaint over a bunch of harmless encounters…nahhhh
Compare how Blake Lively talked about this film (promoting her businesses and husband's film) to how Anna Kendrick talked about the victims in Alice Darling and Woman of the Hour (and how she wouldn't take money from the latter even though she directed as well, donated it to victim organization).
Anna Kendrick is an intelligent woman and a brilliant actress. I'm not surprised she showed such integrity about a DV movie.
Anna has strength of character - she could play the lead role in a similar (DV) topic movie.
And Blake’s lawsuit complains that she “lost revenue” , undoubtedly her alcohol and hair products, due to Justin. She’s only thinking about money. And to blame him for her products failing is ludicrous.
Scarlett J missed a bullet, big time!!!
And she should have played the lead in this movie.
Isabela Ferrer ( younger lilli/Blake)should play Lily in the next movie. She is beautiful and more age-appropriate plus the profits would double!
I could see her bowing out in fear of being canceled for going against the great BL
@@Daniela-Christianson She might not do it for that reason, but that would really be fantastic. They would have to replace Ryle tho too since he would look so much older. But it might be a great movie.
In my opinion, she did not suit Sony because she just wanted to have her news to go through the Times rather to suit anyone about her complain. She did not think that Justin will suit the Times. Good for Justine , enough is enough .
But of course. I work in the Entertainment Industry here in London with Globally successful artists, bands and A list actors. I am back and forth to the States several times a month.
Blake Lively has been ruining her reputation through being unpleasant, rude, a bully and vindictive in numerous interviews over the years, not just the ones which have come to light. She did that to herself and is now trying to muddy the waters.
Jada Pinkett Smith, Meghan Markle, Amber Heard, Blake Lively.... all different iterations of the same narcissist.
I see it often.
And also interestingly enough, all represented by another agency WME 🤔🇬🇧
Blake the snake.
Slander is the worst lie, the slanderer has no idea of the dangers and destruction it can cause in someone's life.
Maybe they do know and Maybe that is exactly why they do it
This is worse than I thought. Really crazy!
Now I don't know about the harassment claims but I def know that the movie felt unorganic and it sucked overall eventhough it had its finer moments. Seems like BL has ruined the movie by thinking she's good at everything just like she thinks she knows anything about fashion. Yo Blake, you only played a fashionista in Gossip Girl, that alone doesn't make you one! 😂
Gosh I'm all about standing by your spouse but when your spouse lies on a man's character that's another story. I loved Ryan Reynolds but hearing he used his status to hurt someone it tells me everything I need to know about him😢
His messages are so nice and thoughtful I just can’t 😢 I bet he was suffering a lot and now more
This is depp vs heard case all over again
Blake is unbelievable in the worst ways. So far, her whole motivation for suing Baldoni comes down to the fact that she got exposed for co-opting someone else’s movie.
WHY didn’t she file sexual harassment claims earlier? Because M-O-N-E-Y. Really hideous morals there
It was extortion, like the letter said at 12:56. She threatened them to get the undeserved producer and PGA credit. She/Ryan are horrible people! Cancel them!
I remember thinking that even if Johnny snapped once or twice and got rough while trying to defend himself and get away? Did that then make him an abuser too? No. So even if Justin hired people to let the world know who Blake truly was as an offensive move because he couldn’t be sure that she wouldn’t be doing the same thing after everything else he claims she was doing? Does that then make him the abuser? As of now, I’m thinking no. It’s possible they’re both POS’s. But I’m leaning towards this being just another instance of her narcissistic bullying of those she considers less important.
Remember its not only with Justin but the entire team of Wayfarer including the billionaire owner that she complained about. They may got too pissed and annoyed with her that they are willing to spend millions to bury her But reading JB court filing which are actual conversation screenshots contrary to BL's copy pasted images, it seemed that she made up everything, as in nothing was ever true from all her complaints
You assume that some of her allegations are truth when in fact she is fabricating it all. She is an actress who lies for a living. Its not difficult to make everything up out of thin air. Not all lies are based in truth.
@@MariaJuana-s9j💯💯💯💯
He proved in the new lawsuit that the pr firm did nothing and was being sarcastic because Kiersti Flawsome did it all aka Blake buried herself in the YT interview. So the pr ladies were sarcastically saying hi five… Good work ( 🙃 with this emogi suspiciously omitted by NYT ) denotes sarcasm!! By NYT maliciously blamed the pr firm for a Blake takedowns which was actually caused by Blakes bullying since Years ago!! Karma doesn’t always happen instantly. But when Karma comes, Karma is a biiitch.
The Johny Depp situation is very different. Hiring a PR team and slapping someone or wishing she was dead with detail on how he would kill and burry her is very different. He was found guilty of domestic violence. Plus Jonhy Depp could have left her any time. He did not need financial security from her. And I would say the same for her, she could and should have left anytime. Way sooner. The trial showed that they were both fucking crazy in their relationship and it made 0 sense that they both stayed together in their craziness. He was indeed an abuser and she was as well. Two celebrities who wasted the time of a judge for their foolishness.
Justin invested in this movie, it was his project, he could not just fire her. He was stuck with her until the end of the promotion and that's what he did. Sucking it up because he had no power and financial security to do anything. And if he had done anything I can't imagine what Ryan and Blake would have invented. His mistake was to hire her to begin with. With her reputation I wonder where he got that idea from.
wow this is unbelievable. Justin should kick her out when she started to behave like a diva. He should produce this movie with another actor. Now he has spend a lot of money.
I think she would take getting kicked out, and her and Ryan would start up chaos then to, imo
Wow! She thought she was going to get away with this bullshit?!
It's ironic and tragic-a movie about domestic violence, yet Justin experienced a form of abuse from Blake and her husband, mirroring the very issue the film portrays. Shame on Blake. No wonder she was tone def when promoting the film. A total narcissist.
She wanted to explore directing and producing a movie. BL took over and manipulated the situation bc she didn’t want to put $$ to make her own movie.
The level of bully is wild 😮, he was strong All the time not even bad mouthing her
The fact Lively didnt sue Sony is very telling . Lots of things being put into context sheds light into how it all went down. Baldoni seems like a sweet guy maybe a little like a hippy? Totally rubbed Blake and Ryan the wrong way apparently.
it was literally a nightmare for Justin. worse than i thought...i knew he was hospitalised but reading the texts, his anguish throught out all of this, the fact he sucked it up because at least the message reached many people..i can't...''i don't wanna hurt her''.
I watched the movie last night. First of all the girl that played the young Lilly was a better actor than Blake. Second, the way Blake dressed in the movie was silly. Blake was not good and Justin was amazing playing such a difficult role.
Team Baldoni always
The NYT should be ashamed of itself too I hope they get dragged just as hard. I hope this ruins BL's reputation in the industry.
The only power BL has is she can afford to breach her contract by quitting.
Amba heard 😂 💯
Hello Mr. Frank 💖🌹 Happy New Year to you and yours! ✨✨
Happy new year!
This is eye-opening information for novice actors, producers, directors, editors, sound ppl, costume, make-up, etc... Sometimes we wonder how actors all of a sudden become more influential and powerful for being so basic. Here it is! BTW Lively was probably trying to write-off those $5k boots as a business expense on her taxes😂 I think in the end this is going to make her seem as though shes difficult to work with. Career suicid*
I watched the movie and I didn’t like it, some scenes seemed incomplete and I thought she was too old for this character
Glad you are still doing these analysis and think you are quite correct re someone I admired until her bullying came to light She's talented but not that good, that the Diva behaviour should be tolerated. Happy New Year for you, your family and your beautiful baby. Love, light, great happiness and success .❤️💯
I agree with you a real case of sexual harassment will be focused on the victim safety. BL didn’t removed herself of that supposed situation even she has financial and power means to get out. Nope BL saw a situation and manipulative way used it to take over the movie. Maybe if it was different kind of movie will work but with DV her style didn’t work. Her Narcissistic personality couldn’t handle it
Solace (sul-is) it’s something that gives your comfort amidst sorrow or hardship or when in trouble or in distress. It can also be “consolation” that you find in difficult times.
I hope the truth comes out. Whichever way. This cancel culture needs to stop until all facts are confirmed. Seems we haven’t learnt anything about cancelling people and accusing them of S**** or abuse issue like from the Johnny Depp case. 😢
I feel sorry for Justin Baldoni
Good show happy New Year
She's such a victim 😂

Blake should have more class and be the better person considering the fame and wealth she have.Its nice to be important but its more important to be nice.
Wow she is digging her own career grave . Fine by me. I never liked her mean girl style nor her narcissistic husband
It's another Hollywood story of a bully. It's a shame because we liked the movie but heck that's another case like AH. Yukky
I wonder if all of this is just to steal thunder away from her husband? Weren’t the opening dates close?
Knew she was another Amber Heard wanna be 💯
When this will end. Justin will be more famous and Blake Lively carer will suffer. Because she do this to herself with bully and manipulations
Boa tarde Sr. Frank!!!❤
Exactly it seems like she was already trying to take over the movie pushing her husband in to it, to write parts of it. And anyone who actually had the writes to the book would be pretty miffed at her for not working together with people!!!!??? And now she has used certain allegations to make him look bad to get her way!?!? We'll wait for the other evidence. Why did she continue the movie if she was so uncomfortable!?!? I get sometimes you feel guilty with letting the other team down. But is weird, control issues by the sounds.
I hope more people look closely into both sides of this. Some of the information in this video I haven’t seen until now. For example how Justin was trying very hard to appease Blake and Ryan, his determination to “take the high road.” It’s just sad. Unless you’ve had to experience the heartbreak firsthand of being manipulated and betrayed by the very people whom you formerly thought were friends, swore up and down they would have your back, it’s all too easy to fall for things such as PR media influence. Or framing a person and situations in whatever light suits the desired narrative. I just think it’s interesting, that some people fully believe that there’s no one out there who can see through manipulation, people can easily ruin their own reputation by regular people observing their behaviour in interviews or anything else that they seek out on their own, organically. Many people can spot a manipulated narrative a mile away so they’re able to ignore that and search for the truth. Or that money can’t necessarily buy you a good reputation. The truth is coming to light and the masks are dropping more than ever! Maybe it’s time for anyone who at least WANTS to be better, to do so. Make it authentic and real. People who KNOW truth, the people who should truly matter to you, will see you for who and what you truly are. Every adult has choices and if what you want is for people to see you as a more likeable, relatable human being? Slinging unvarifiable accusations, half truths, exaggerations or lies without any context or witnesses (not that witnesses are necessarily trustworthy and can’t be bribed or intimidated themselves.) to make someone come across as unlikable as possible, in the form of legal documents, which many people falsely believe are required to be factual, which resulted in many people promoting them as fact on their own platforms online……..not what makes a good person! (personally, when I read that it made me dislike her more! And I’m trying to be fair! I truly am! I look for redeeming qualities in anyone and everyone. I just know, sadly from experience (yet I’m grateful for the lessons and resulting wisdom.) with being the target many times. Neurodivergent individuals tend to be targeted often. I hate to sound like I’m trying to be a victim. Not the case. It’s something I rarely mention. It’s a reality however and something I wish more people were conscious of and made highly aware of. Especially in working environments! Bosses, people in positions of power, need to be aware and look out for this very real pattern and problem. AnywaySome documents are required to be factual like a signed affidavit. However what was recently made available to the media, an initial complaint is just a complaint. It included far more, potentially manipulated details than necessary (such as the text “receipts” that were explained later to be completely different in context than they were intended to sound and many others that didn’t fit the narrative were obviously not included. It was so clearly written in order to speak to the media more than the courts. To be fair, Justin’s response to hers probably was similar in that respect. He wanted to put his side out to the media as well. He had every reason and right to. They both did! At least be honest about your side though! I just hope, in my heart, that people will stop and think before automatically going along with an opinion or narrative that is presented, even from sources they might respect. Do your own research and think for yourself. Maybe the best thing that comes out of this, as sad as it all is to me, I have hope that the greater mass of public opinion will stop simply going along with exactly that and instead stop being afraid to question what is presented and do their own deep dives into people and everything online! Especially with the technology available now. It’s never been more clear important to avoid jumping to conclusions or on any bandwagons. Also lean on the side of kindness for others. Give other people the benefit of the doubt. It’s just a good thing to practice and if you’re slow to get angry and accusatory? It’s surprising how much more calm and peaceful you end up feeling in life and other circumstances. I’m still working on it as these things are always a matter of practice and time. I think paying attention to this sort of stuff, as counterintuitive as it may seem, it can be helpful for developing your skills and understanding how to get to the truth in life. As well as just practicing rooting for and pursuing the truth regardless of preconceived beliefs or biases you may have had for people. In this example at least.
Blake and Ryan are just....nope (cringe). You guys are just.... ugh. They drank too much of their own Kool-Aid. I'm team Justin in this case, unless she has solid evidence, which I'm doubting now.
Why don't they replace her with Scarlett Johnson the movie will definitely be a hit. Blake lively does not belong in the film industry you can't trust her who would hire her if she did this to Justin Bardoni she will do it to any other producer. We love you Justin you will get over this and he will bless you with success . Karma is getting her.
Methinks she wants to play boss...
I read the book and felt like I was watching the Blake Lively show! She did not portray the books character.
Wow.
The writers have to readdress the stories to fit in the boots ? Not even Baldoni is cloning up with that.
Only now she’s raising S harassment? She went to Sony and Baldoni studios years ago !
As someone who read the books, it really annoyed me how they completely changed Lily’s character, and now we know why. It’s because of Blake apparently. Lily is supposed to be a fresh college graduate so early 20’s woman, naturally red headed, and not particularly wealthy. She’s maybe middle class. And her wardrobe is NOTHING like what was portrayed in the movie. I’ll admit I was surprised they even cast Blake and aged up everyone. But it still maybe could have worked if they stuck to the source material. Justifying the boots and making her seem wealthy with a trash sense of fashion completely ignores who the actual character is. They also ruined the message of the film by not making it the center point of promo. Avoiding talking about DV in a DV movie has to be the dumbest move. And the way they portray it at the end of the film is like Lily didn’t know all this time what really happened. That’s so wrong. Lily knew and she’s struggling and justifying the violence from her partner until she realizes she can’t keep giving this man chances and has to choose herself and her baby daughter first. She doesn’t wanna end up like her mother. That’s the point of it ends with us.
@@PearlM38plus no one would let the abuser hold the baby while saying I am divorcing you.
No abuser would let their wife leave with their newborn child.
@@LaraCroftEyes1 at that point it’s an issue with the source material. Ryle at the end isn’t pleased but still agrees. In book 2 Lily lays down more boundaries for him, and he is still angry but reluctantly follows. But it’s how Colleen Hoover wrote the books. The tension isn’t realistic but there’s still some minor conflicts Lily has to face while co parenting, even in book 2.
I wonder what this says about Taylor swift, since they are basically best friends. It’s a terrible reflection on her character…
Team Baldoni. I just don’t believe her. I have to go with my gut.
Agree
Hi Frank

Heaven forbid a woman has power.
How much are YOU being paid.
Heaven forbid--you can’t handle the TRUTH!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Look what she did with that power. She abused it. Isn't that the problem we have with some men?
I'm not bothered by the fact that she's a woman with power. She was hired as an ACTRESS, to play a role. The fact that Sony allowed her to completely take over creative control of the film is unacceptable. It's mind-blowing that Justin as the director and as the person who owns the rights to the books, was completely pushed aside and wasn't even allowed to see the final cut of the film ahead of time.
@@Nikki-TBlake Sit Down!!!🪑

You’re out of your mind if you think it makes her look bad. Her allegations were serious and he didn’t dispute any of them

We don't believe without proof anymore. Too much damage done.
I believe the lawsuit he just filed would be considered disputing them.
