Blake Lively is Gonna Get You, Justin!

I hope he didn’t really do this, but I still hate her either way.

She's doubling down like a dumbass, all angry because the public is going sour on her and Blake.

oh wow, she's an actress? i thought she was some kind of professional bully

Useless - discard.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Ryan Reynolds must not be fucking her properly. Insufferable cunt she has become.

[Quote] She's doubling down like a dumbass, all angry because the public is going sour on her and Blake.

What? Who are “her and Blake?” Isn’t Blake Lively … Blake Lively?

R7 The cunt meant to say Ryan I bet.

She is so unlikeable. I now hate Ryan by extension.

Her hair stylist got her with that perm! This is fact: everybody hates Blake.

I wrote in this thread that he was an extremely toxic narcissist.

Whatever happened onset in production, Baldoni broke a big rule of Hollywood of not airing dirty laundry in public. A good example of this exact situation happened last year when Beau De Mayo went public with his grievances over being fired from X-Men 97, and Disney went public a day later and revealed he was fired for sexually harassing male subordinates.

Baldoni started a PR offensive against Lively shortly after the movie premiered because he did not like her overruling his creative decisions (which she, as a producer of the film, had a right to do.) He should have just shut up, licked his wounds and waited for a new job. Now after this, he’s likely done in Hollywood as a director.

He's a tool. Have you seen his interviews with that freak Alok Menon?

I like Blake. there is no "everybody" r10.

I’ll add that it’s exceedingly rare for some who has a reputation as an “abs for hire” actor is given a chance to direct and star in a studio film, especially if he’s never distinguished himself creatively, even as a performer.

Additionally, Baldoni has fucked himself as an actor, because now he is deemed “problematic for women.” As soon as actor who has nothing but his good looks is labeled toxic, it’s over. Look at Armie Hammer.

Baldoni spent five seasons on Jane the Virgin. If he's a douchebag harasser, shouldn't there be tons of stories from that set about his toxic behavior? Where are there? By comparison, Blake spent 5 years on Gossip Girl and there are loads of stories about her feuding with co-stars and being a pain in the ass on set.

Obviously the accusations she's making are serious, but it's also easy for things to be twisted out of context. We already know discussions about her weight were in relation to a scene where he had to lift her up. Showing nudes sounds awful, but if it was to approve body doubles for a sex scene then it seems kind of standard. Etc.

[quote]Additionally, Baldoni has fucked himself as an actor, because now he is deemed “problematic for women.”

Only in Blake's social circle (and in your mind), the town is very much behind Baldoni.

What a POS to do this to him practically on Christmas Day.

r13 I understand rooting for the villain, but Blake simply lacks charisma.

I thought he did a good job directing the film. As an actor he's just ok. Blake was much better but is getting very matronly.

r18 You hate her because she...... lacks charisma?

"Rooting for the Villain"? Who does that?

[quote]the town is very much behind Baldoni.

The ENTIRE CAST unfollowed him on social media.

If you want to see which way the wind is blowing, just wait until Brandon Sklenar, who is on a career ascendancy, posts about it on social media.

I really hope for a Reynolds/Lively murder-suicide sometime soon.

The demands that were addressed in that meeting, according to the lawsuit, included

1) not showing nude videos or images of women to Lively;

2) no more mentions of Baldoni’s alleged previous “pornography addiction”

3) no more discussions about sexual experiences in front of Lively and others

4) no further mentions of cast and crew’s genitalia

5) no more inquiries about Lively’s weight.

5 is a legetimate question due to worker safety for Justin

4 if justin and his bros were doing this, gross and inappropriate

3 was this in the context of reads and character preparation? Than it might make sense

2 ditto above

1 if it was to get her approval for a body double, what is the problem? She could wave seeing that if she wanted but I assume she would want a say on her faked body onscreen

Summary - a massive cunt

waive

r21 Lots of people. For example, the majority of American voters.

The full complaint is online. I haven't finished it yet, but so far what I've read is REALLY damaging--tons of really gross, toxic, and sexually inappropriate behavior by Baldoni. What's funny, though, is that they allege he purposefully set out to destroy her reputation (and they seem to have receipts on this) yet the one thing they aren't suing for is defamation.

They are both so bland.

He’s hot

A few years ago, he was a regular fill-in cohost on 'The Talk'. The audience loved him, and he really campaigned for the job to become the first male cohost on the show (I believe it was when Carrie Ann left). In the end, they decided not to go with him or any male host at the time. I have a feeling if there was anything devious going on with JB behind the scenes, it would have happened with these women at 'The Talk' and they would've said something by now (especially 'Mrs O').

r20 I don't think she's a good actress. And she's not charming. And she got married on a plantation. She's thinks she's funny but she's actually mean. Her taste in fashion is terrible. Please explain what it is that you like about her. Perhaps I am overlooking her redeeming qualities.

He "gave talks on toxic masculinity." That is such a red flag.

I can understand the questions about her weight. Watching the film I kept wondering if she had been pregnant during the filming, then I checked and no, she was just fat.

She's a certified twat with shades of Amber Heard.

Blake is so transparent. This lawsuit wouldn't have happened had she won the PR battle the first time.

r20 Any updates on why we should like Blake Lively?

She strikes me as on the Spectrum and Lady Aspies have an endearing quality to me.

[quote]Blake is so transparent. This lawsuit wouldn't have happened had she won the PR battle the first time.

While I get that sexual harassment may not be about sex so much as power, he would be a fool to have harassed her because, well, look where we are now.

She clearly had the power in the situation. The rest of the cast seems to be siding with her, so you know there will be "testimony" against him with them recounting tales of woe.

She's simply not a good enough actress for me to believe her.

This film had a 25 million dollar budget and grossed 350 million worldwide. In other words, a successful non franchise Rom/SerioCom did very, very well.

But the people who made the film are fucking it up, dragging their issues out in the media and upstaging their own movie.

Not. Smart.

The cast is siding with her because She's married to one of the most powerful movie stars in the business.

I really dislike her and her ferret face husband.

"Someone would have said something by now" is not a great argument.

That said, I'll wait and see how this plays out.

Blake is insufferable.

Yes, the test will be in the corroborating testimony. Unfollowing is harmless if you're just siding with (afraid of) the Ryan/Blake power dynamic. Committing perjury is not gonna happen for that reason, however. If cast corroborates, he's done.

I love that many of you are joining in to this silly popularity game: "All the powerful and connected people side with HER/HIM!" Who gives a flying fuck who sides with whom? I left high school quite a while ago,.

R44 Yet here you are, sweetie. You prefer Trump threads on this GOSSIP site?

This is going to make the public hate her even more. I can't wait!

[quote]I’ll add that it’s exceedingly rare for some who has a reputation as an “abs for hire” actor is given a chance to direct and star in a studio film, especially if he’s never distinguished himself creatively, even as a performer.

While a studio film, "It Ends with Us" was made on a $25 million dollar budget, which is modest nowadays. The Independent Spirt Awards is only for films that are made for $30 million and under (increased from $22.5), Plus, he has directed similar soft films like "Five Feet Apart'. I could see why he was hired to direct this film.

R43- I suspect the cast will corroborate, and Blake already knows this..

I bet the rest of the cast wishes they’d never gotten involved in this film.

If the cast corroborates it's because they feel it's better for their careers to side with her given her and her husband's position in the industry, not because she's telling the truth. And that's showbiz, kid.

The rest of the case probably prefers to be left out of this particular drama. It's like any other work place. Everybody's friends until they really have to step up to the plate and testify in court.

R50, R48 here- Blake seems like such a shallow bitch- just a nasty piece of work...

I pray that her colleagues and co stars would not be evil enough to lie on her behalf, or because they were afraid of whatever power that she has...

I do wonder where the truth lies here---Her accusations are damning if corroborated

My gut says this is 1/2 revenge. 1/2 true.

Wait until the legions of Swiftie flying monkeys are deployed against him!

In her dreams. She's 4th hand goods.

This would not be happening if Blake Lively hadn't been the target of criticism over her behavior for the last few months on social media.

From Deadline:

“Having known Justin Baldoni for years and previously worked under him at Wayfarer, I can attest to the validity of these claims. Justin, Steve Sarowitz, and Jessica Sarowitz have repeatedly wielded their wealth, power, and influence—under the guise of religious piety—to manipulate and harm those who work for them. Despite presenting themselves as devout members of the Bahá’í faith, their actions have often prioritized power and status over genuine values. Like many others who have worked for them, I have witnessed the gaslighting, emotional manipulation, and the profound harm they have caused. Their carefully curated image as agents of “social change” masks the truth, and I commend Blake for having the courage to speak publicly about what so many of us have felt but couldn’t voice. Hollywood is undergoing a moment of accountability, and it’s time for individuals like Justin, Steve, and Jessica—whose combined wealth is in the billions—to face scrutiny for their actions. Thank you, Blake and Ryan, for bringing these truths to light. More will undoubtedly emerge, and it is a step toward justice. Justin, it’s time to be MAN ENOUGH and take accountability for what you’ve become.”

He sounds mentally ill - hours of him crying? Wanting to sage her employees?

His astroturfing campaign is plainly apparent.

[quote] Please explain what it is that you like about her.

It's not her acting abilities, that's for sure.

R27, can you give bullet points? That thing is long.

They're both assholes. He hid it better, but she didn't. Filing a lawsuit is going to backfire on her, though.

R56, ouch, more fuel to the fire. I'm also confused as to how a Jewish Italian dude ended up bahai??

Everybody's going to come out of this smelling like shit.

R61 parents were hippies and converted.

Justin Baldoni is indeed responsible for helping platform ALOK ™️

Therefore, he is guilty.

Justin is some piece of work. Had he not hired crisis PR to launch a retaliatory social media campaign she may not have filed.

OP. Blake is doing this because she lost the PR battle against Justin & the crisis PR firm he hired to protect "his interests".

This lawsuit is going to damage Ryan's career& reputation too!! That Crisis PR firm Justin hired are "Vampires" not sharks. They are that Good, and fucking mean.

“No more mention by Mr Baldoni of him "speaking to" BL's dead father.”

“No more pressing by Mr Baldoni for BL to disclose her religious beliefs, or unsolicited sharing of his.”

Oh. So he’s one of THOSE.

R13=Blake

R15 My opinion of her changed when I saw how nasty she treated that interview lady. It was so passively aggressively harsh and relentless too. Through the entirety of it, she and Parker Posey were a twat to that lady. I know how females can get with each other but dayummm at their level you would think that mean girl behavior wouldn’t exist. From there I started believing all the things people posted about her throughout the years.

But, R44, Blake hasn’t.

The producer and financier Steve Sarowitz is also a Bahai convert. It’s a cult, it’s just Scientology with a veneer of Eastern religion respectability.

I honestly didn’t think I could hate Blake more than I already do. That interview where she and Parker Posey go full mean girl is devastating and should have been enough for Blake to lie low for a (long) while. But, because she’s a deluded, arrogant cunt who can only see what’s in front of her rather than the big picture l, she’s filing this. I can’t WAIT for the backlash to ruin her and to would Reynolds’ rep, too. Her blindness as to this likelihood is staggering.

All that said, Parker Posey disappointed me, too. Her delight in that cruelty (let alone her joining in) really turned me off.

I don't know anything about Justin, but I do know that Blake, Ryan, and Taylor Swift are insufferable cunts. I hope this blows up in her face in the most spectacular manner.

She's a heinous cunt, but she'll probably win because of her gay husband.

I’m gonna go the other way on the prevailing sentiment in this thread, and approach it like a written math problem that needs to be solved…

Lively’s reputation has been in the shitter for many months now, even years, as people bitched about her previously.

That said, I believe her.

Why?

Because there’s really no reason for her to dig herself deeper into the hole she currently finds herself in. Accusing him of sexual harassment can easily bury him, just as much as it will bury her.

Why make this up? Why double down, unless it’s true?

Women deal with men like this in the workplace constantly. They’re exposed to men saying highly inappropriate shit, and absolutely will men expose women to actual pornography at work, if they think a “cool girl” won’t rat them out.

There’s a good chance Baldoni is an idiot.

It’s either he’s an idiot and did this, or Blake Lively wants revenge because they were having some sordid, adulterous affair, and he dumped her.

There’s gotta be a very good reason for her doing this. One doesn’t make these accusations unless they’re true. Yes, there are women who accuse men of sexual harassment, and lie when doing so. But this case here? I don’t think so. The problem here is that he does not believe that what he did is sexual harassment, when it is, indeed.

I could be totally wrong. We shall see.

Not surprised he and another producer are in a cult. These aggressive astroturfing smear tactics are similar to cults like Scientology, now with social media and gossip sites as additional tools in the arsenal.

The film made lots of money and put her on the map, but Baldoni holds the rights to the sequel, which must anger her to no end. She and Ryan must want the rights to the sequel in order to make a Justin-less sequel. Maybe that's part of the settlement she wants to make this legal mess go away.

Google AI:

[quote] Justin Baldoni, through his production company Wayfarer Studios, holds the rights to the "It Ends With Us" sequel, titled "It Starts With Us," meaning he has the option to develop a film adaptation of the book if he chooses to do so.

[bold]"We Can Bury Anyone": Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine[/bold]

The text messages and emails between Baldoni and his "crisis management team" are pretty damning.

was really disappointing to see parker posey ganging up with blake.

That his smear PR mavens were also used by Scooter Braun is not that surprising.

How many posts on this thread are astroturfing?

R80 Just learned a new word. She so happy.

Omg, like I have been astroturfed

Justin has the same creepy faux feminist vibe as Jian Ghomeshi in the vid linked above with Alok. Hope this suit is his Big Ears Teddy takedown. Don’t forget Ted Bundy volunteered on a rape crisis hotline. Predators deflect.

The texts in the NYT piece are quite damning to Justin and his flying monkeys. Facts are facts.

They’re both cunts QED

I think they’re both shallow, attractive people who were used to being worshiped by others. They met each other and their tools of manipulation stopped working because they both had massive egos and considered this job as doing the other person a favor.

The complaint linked above is quite damning, particularly the texts by Justin and his team. They truly seemed to not even consider that risky, no rules applied to them, they were the most clever bears, etc.

That he is being given awards as an ally to women is preposterous.

Which hurt his ego more, that she would not convert to his cult or that she rebuffed his advances?

Two cunts suing each other. It’s a win-win situation for everybody else.

The pr are vicious but dumb, what a paper trail they created.

R85 nails it.

But what details at R56 are actually being alleged? “Emotional manipulation” is highly subjective. What does it even mean?

Lawsuits are won through detailed evidence and testimony. Not opinionated conjecture.

The thing I take away from that testimony, which would be questioned by the defence, is; they worked for Wayfarer, allegedly under those conditions, for years. Why?

They also be asked if they’ve been coerced by Lively and Reynolds. This isn’t some slam dunk.

Personally, I find the behaviour Lively describes in her suit to be kind of unbelievable. Why would anybody behave that way and, also, if his behaviour is SO extreme and everybody knew about it, why did Lively work with him? Her husband is one of the biggest stars in the industry - you mean to tell me that none of his advisers or representatives had ever heard anything about Baldoni and Wayfarer’s behaviour? They would just allow Lively to take this project without any warning?

Is it a coincidence that Lively filed suit a week after the Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations were announced and she missed out?

This will go on for years and the only person it helps right now is the beleaguered Brian Jordan Alvarez.

Also, the #metoo moment happened 6 years ago and what we’ve learned since then is how easily these accusations can be weaponised. In fact, given Lively’s murky intentions here, you could say this suit marks the end of the #metoo era and the beginning of the “every man for himself” era.

Why wait all this time?

bullshit.

So, Blake is after the movie rights to the sequel that Justin owns (that is what she wants).

The producers allowed Blake& Ryan to edit the movie their way, they did not protest the end result.

It sounds like an affair between Justin& Blake went bad, this is the result To R50& R51, I agree with you on that!!

that is a great theory, r93.

a woman scorned. and too heavy to lift for a person whose back was already compromised.

I think that's what this is REALLY about.

Yep, this is a fight for the movie rights.

Also Ryan Reynolds appearing at the emergency meeting with Blake is hilarious. Can you imagine any other industry where a woman is accompanied by her decade older, wealthy husband?

unbelievable. this cunt is next level bullshit.

The hair looks very Amanda Marshall.

[quote]The producer and financier Steve Sarowitz is also a Bahai convert. It’s a cult, it’s just Scientology with a veneer of Eastern religion respectability.

But they give good temple.

Baldoni and company re going down, down, down.

Bread and circuses - two vile cunts, make that three if you include Ryan, having a spat. Next!

r99 thanks for visiting us, Ryan!

Maybe Ryan made a failed play for Justin. So he's poisoning Blake against Justin and Blake is too stupid to realise it.

Justin dropped by WME

r102 great take. Possible.

R98, they do have beautiful temples worldwide, minus the hideous building they use in Los Angeles.

R101, ore astroturfing. Maybe you should rest the nytimes investigation before commenting.

R103 OK a win for Blake and Ryan already. Damn.

r106 thanks (again) for letting us know you are either Ryan, Blake or a shill.

R108, astroturf away. You’re on the wrong side of history here. Again, read the investigation. It’s damning and this suit will be settled quickly.

Nice looking church, so I'm guessing this Church has Billions of dollars in contributions. You don't think this "church" has the goods on Miss Reynolds about his "sexual preferences".

I can already tell that Deadline is Team Blake!!

what is your thing with "astroturf"?

Yep. Justin Baldoni is toast.

As soon as WME drops you, it’s OVER.

He’d be smart to sell the rights of the sequel, unless he has access to cash that allows him to go totally independent, which I doubt & even if he did, it wouldn’t make much of a difference, because cast and specific crew who have top notch representation, may get black balled if they go off the reservation.

Anyone here familiar with the agencies? Is there a chance he will be repped by another one?

How did Justin think this would all play out for him?

r112 is a paid bullshit artist.

The texts are damning, ironic that he paid for them. And he will keep paying.

Exactly....if Justin did these things, how did he feel it would play out??

...which is why it doesn't make sense. He wasn't exactly "high end" and would think this behavior would be okay a la other numerous directors that were overtly sexually harrassing their talent.

He's just starting out in his career.

You’re just silly, R114.

Why attack me? I haven’t written anything horribly offensive.

It’s incredible is that he put everything in writing. He and his whole team documented everything that they were doing. I guess these people just loved hearing themselves talk about their own greatness.

Google is your friend.

Let's see how this plays out. i doubt it's credible.

i will be willing to believe if Gina Rodriguez (Jane, the Virgin) chimes in.

If not, I doubt the veracity of these claims.

R119 We know what it means, it’s just silly that this poster only recently learned, and now she’s obsessed with the word in order to appear so very edgy.

Read the Times piece and say you still find the allegations hard to believe.

Has anyone asked Al Franken for comment? I don't believe he was guilty of sexual harrassment yet he was instantly cancelled before anything could be investigated and clarified. I don't know if Justin really harrassed Blake Lively, but he's already been dumped by his agency, now.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand cosied up to and championed that INSANE Columbian cunt, Mattress Girl. When all the dust settled, Mattress Girl destoyed a young man with her histrionics and false accusations.

Color me completely unconvinced that Blake Lively has produced a slam dunk with this latest power play.

Her husband is a BIG WIG in Hollywood. Of course they will dump a little known talent because Ryan said "boo!"

Now Justin's attorney's and PR team get to release their attack upon Team Blake Lively.

Blake should be very careful because of Ryan's "alleged Homosexual activity".

And his talent agency has dropped him. Women really have too much power and Lively has a cuntish reputation.

Begone Baldoni, you insufferable phony prick.

I didn't realize Ryan R. was 10 years older than Blake.

I can't believe they're a power couple.

He looks like a possum and she looks like an average lady next door.

It is now being intimated/alleged that the Swedish reporter above (Kirsten?) is/was in cahoots with Justin's team (rereleasing that Lively interview as well as the. fact that she released a pro- Johnny Depp interview- As Justin's firm works for both-

I don't believe this- but the coincidence is interesting..

how much are the Lively-fans being paid to topple this thread?

My guess is that this is going to end up like the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard case.

No matters who technically wins, it will end with the same result, with both being permanently canceled.

The Lively' stans are all over the Deadline comments, they're swarming!!

I don't know R131, Amber Heard lost that case and the PR battle. Depp's attorney destroyed Amber, she wasn't that good of a make-up artist or actress.

The Times article is interesting.

Allegedly, Baldoni shared nudes of his wife with Lively, and/or the crew?

Amber was never a make-up artist, was she? She was a model then actress.

It is not against the law to be unlikeable at work. Being "toxic" is wholly subjective and to the law means absolutely nothing as do "astroturfing", and "gaslighting". Those are not legal terms.

If you don't like working with someone, don't hire them again.

i think the poster meant Amber was "making it up" and therefore a makeup artist.

which I somewhat agree. but they were both horrific in their behavior

Depp was already on his way down. Alcoholism out of control. Rolling Stone article. Using an earpiece to "remember" his lines in the Pirates movie.

Even though he won the defamation lawsuit, he came out looking like an old man who had been had tricked by a young gold digger.

Amber Heard is histrionic. I believe Mattress Girl is as well. It wouldn't surprise me if Lively is. I followed the story and it seemed that Lively and her "camp" were smearing Baldoni first. So he hired a firm and went hardcore. Meanwhile, all that time Blake and Ryan were stealing the film away from the director and producers. Baldoni's PR firm went hard core, and scored! Great counterstrike, which really damaged Lively. Everything the public saw was based on Lively real behavior.

So now she is lobbing a new round of heavy ammunition.

Sorry but my spidey sense says she has trumped up her claims, considerably. I may be proved wrong in the end, of course.

I'm not saying I like how his PR firm operated, rather I'm saying, she clearly started it. Maybe it was all based on some real harrassment on that set, however. Time will tell.

Preserve was an offensive, risible, and inept exercise in folie de grandeur. She is dumb and tacky, yet pretentious and obviously a cunt. That's her look for her failing hair company? Says it all. Fake, cynical cunt.

[quote] I don't know [R131], Amber Heard lost that case and the PR battle.

Agreed, but Johnny Depp has been canceled too after the trial. He will never, ever be an A-lister again.

That's my entire point: this is another case of mutually assured career destruction.

She was never a talent to begin with.

Johnny Depp, on the other hand, was.

Justin Baldoni is too new to comment on.

^^I meant Blake, but this also applies to Amber Heard

Lively also didn't give a shit about her character or the theme of this movie. It's all product in service to her folie de grandeur.

It was Jamey Heath, the lead producer, who showed Lively a video of his wife naked R134.

Wow, R145.

If true, what a horrendously toxic set to have worked on.

Here’s the thing… who believes she would sue this man & his co-producers who are associated with Wayfarer, unless she has solid testimony from various people on set?

I understand she’s married to an A-Lister who has immense pull within the industry, however, to me that signifies that both she & her husband have a LOT to lose, if it turns out she’s making all of this stuff up, & has somehow convinced her underlings to outright lie on her behalf.

I’d also like to remind DLers about how incredibly obtuse & stupid some straight guys are, when it comes to seeking dominance over female co-workers and even female supervisors in regular, non entertainment related offices.

Some straight men can be as toxic as some women, or more so. I’ve repeatedly witnessed men in various office settings target the one woman who isn’t interested in them, or who speak up for themselves in hopes of stopping further damage to their careers & reputations.

Some men really do some very fucked up shit when they don’t get their way, & it’s disingenuous to claim that these men are always targets of revenge campaigns, instead of admitting they’re just assholes.

Baldoni and his friend Heath look like creeps. Baldoni was wanting to add explicit sex scenes and hung around her dressing room while she was toples and having body makeup applied. She's not making all of this up. The fucking has probably done this before. I don't much about, but these allegations sound true.

r147 i don't believe it.

this is a hit job, courtesy one Ryan Reynolds and his beige wife, Blake.

No not a hit job R148. Probably completely true.

R146, there’s a ton of written evidence in this case. Lively complained early on during the filming about Baldoni and the producer; lawyers were involved, a written settlement was signed. THEN Baldoni engaged a firm to malign Lively, because he was worried about her documented complaints becoming public. He wanted to ruin her reputation so that no one would care about what he had done. Baldoni and the people he hired exchanged amazingly extensive text messages documenting what they were doing and why.

If Lively and Ryan Reynolds faked all of that evidence it would be easy to disprove, wouldn’t it?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

To R150, not when you have Mr. Ryans billion dollars behind you. That can BUY u lots of testimony!!

Hiring his non-actor buddy to play OB in a birth scene and not closing the set to limit gawkers was abusive and pervy.

Oh the Baldoni guy is DONE. These Publicists in the texts are FINISHED...

Blake is an UTTER CUNT, yes-

But how could this production company, Justin, producers, and publicists be THIS STUPID??

But most of all- With Me Too, etc--- WHO THE FUCK STILL BEHAVES LIKE THIS IN ANY WORKPLACE!!??? These fuckers are DUMB AS FUCK- and horrible people to boot-

Exactly, R150. PR lady was malicious but dumb as a box of rocks. They documented and were so self congratulatory that their own devices created and contained damning evidence. It’s their own text messages, R152. Try to be a bit more plausible.

I just don’t get why they thought they had such impunity, R154? For the abuse and for the prolonged smear campaign. I side eye anyone giving him awards, too. Weinstein once had real power, Justin is cooked small potatoes. Why did he feel so untouchable?

R156- That should be interesting to find out-

Blake's case is clearly so strong-

And the defendants are so-so--- FUCKED..

We should learn something. about Hollywood, of sure!

Baldoni is a Christian douchebro. I dislike Blake but after reading the complain it reads true.

Blake is besties with Taylor Swift who loves getting her revenge on those who wronged her. baldoni fucked with the wrong one.

Baldoni would be a complete sociopath if his behavior as the suit alleges is true.

Even Armie Hammer didn’t go around acting like he was a vegan.

R156, Baldoni has -- well, had -- a powerful backer, a billionaire named Steve Sarowitz. They are both members of the Baha'i faith, some vague fusion religion.

Like, it's one thing to accuse him of harassment, fine, that's plausible. But are we supposed to believe that guilty as fuck Justin "Who?" Baldoni had an upper hand in a smear war against totally innocent Blake Lively AND Ryan Reynolds?

Bahai explained, using drag culture as a metaphor, per ChatGPT

Let’s break down the Bahá’í Faith using drag queens and drag houses as a metaphor.

God as the Ultimate Drag Mother

In this metaphor, God is like the ultimate Drag Mother, the supreme source of creativity, love, and guidance. Just like a Drag Mother oversees her house, inspires her children, and sets the standard for their art, God provides the foundation and guidance for all creation.

Religions as Different Drag Houses

Each major world religion—Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, etc.—is like a different Drag House. These houses (religions) have been established at different times, by different Drag Mothers (prophets or messengers), to serve their communities’ unique needs while still drawing inspiration from the same source.

For example: • House of Abraham (Judaism) • House of Jesus (Christianity) • House of Muhammad (Islam) • House of Buddha (Buddhism)

Every house has its own aesthetic, rules, and culture, but ultimately, they share the same goal: to express love, truth, and beauty, and to help their children become the best versions of themselves.

Bahá’u’lláh as the New Drag Mother

Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Bahá’í Faith, is like the latest legendary Drag Mother to start a new house—let’s call it the House of Bahá’í. • Bahá’u’lláh didn’t come to erase the other houses but to unite them under one ballroom roof. • The House of Bahá’í teaches that all the previous Drag Mothers (prophets) are valid and came from the same source (God). • It emphasizes that it’s time for all the houses to stop competing and start collaborating—because in the end, it’s all one big family.

The Ballroom as the World

The world is like a giant ballroom. Historically, each House has walked its own category (e.g., Religion Realness, Spiritual Eleganza), but Bahá’u’lláh’s message is clear: • No more shade. No more battles. It’s time for a Grand Finale where everyone shines together.

The Bahá’í Faith teaches that we are all performers in the same cosmic show, and the best performance happens when everyone gets along, supports each other, and celebrates diversity.

Equality and Inclusion as Key Values

In the House of Bahá’í: • No one gets chopped based on gender, race, sexuality, or background. • Everyone is seen as unique, valuable, and worthy of respect. • The House is about universal love, education, and building each other up, not tearing each other down.

Conclusion: We’re All in This Together

The Bahá’í Faith says: • “We’re all in the same ballroom, darling. Let’s stop throwing shade and start building bridges.” • The time has come for a global family reunion where every House (religion) and every performer (individual) contributes to a world of unity, love, and dazzling harmony.

In short: Different looks, same runway. One Love, One God, One House.

How could Bahai teachings in this metaphor, be exploited by a particularly ruthless and amoral drag queen troublemaker?

Great question! Even in a metaphorical drag ballroom inspired by Bahá’í teachings, a ruthless and amoral drag queen troublemaker could exploit those ideals for their own gain. Let’s break it down:

1. Unity as a Weapon of Control

Bahá’í Teaching: All houses (religions) are part of one universal family, and everyone should work together in harmony. Troublemaker Move: The drag queen might twist this teaching by saying, “Unity means obedience to me because I represent the ‘vision’ of this unity.” • They might claim they are the “true interpreter” of the House of Bahá’í’s vision. • Any dissent or questioning could be reframed as “disrupting unity” or “causing division.” • They might guilt others by saying, “If you’re not following me, you’re not supporting unity.”

In short: They weaponize the idea of unity to silence critics and centralize power under themselves.

2. Exploiting the Idea of Progressive Revelation

Bahá’í Teaching: God reveals truth progressively through different messengers (Drag Mothers) over time. Troublemaker Move: The drag queen could claim, “I’m the newest messenger! A fresh prophet in six-inch heels. It’s time for my house to lead this ballroom.” • They could argue that their interpretation of Bahá’í ideals is the most up-to-date and therefore must be obeyed. • They could start creating new rules under the guise of progressive revelation. • Dissenters could be dismissed as “old-fashioned” or “stuck in outdated interpretations.”

In short: They exploit the concept of progress and change to position themselves as the ultimate authority.

3. Using the Absence of Clergy to Their Advantage

Bahá’í Teaching: There is no clergy or religious elite in the Bahá’í Faith; everyone is responsible for their own spiritual journey. Troublemaker Move: The queen might fill that power vacuum and declare themselves the “de facto leader” of the House. • They could say, “Well, since there’s no official clergy, someone has to lead—and I’m clearly the most qualified!” • They might build an inner circle of loyal queens who act as enforcers. • They could dismiss any critique with, “I’m just stepping up where leadership is needed, darling.”

In short: They exploit the lack of formal hierarchy to install themselves as an unofficial ruler.

4. Turning Inclusivity into Performative Allyship

Bahá’í Teaching: Everyone is equal and worthy of love and respect. Troublemaker Move: The queen might loudly perform inclusivity while secretly playing favorites. • They could give fake ally speeches to the crowd while ensuring only their inner circle gets featured or rewarded. • They might say, “I’m here for everyone—as long as you’re loyal to me.” • They might accuse dissenters of “being divisive” or “not being team players” if they call out hypocrisy.

In short: They exploit the language of inclusion and equality to create a veneer of fairness while running a clique.

5. Using the Lack of Rituals to Gaslight Others

Bahá’í Teaching: The faith avoids rigid rituals and dogma, focusing on principles and personal reflection. Troublemaker Move: The drag queen might constantly shift expectations and rules so no one can ever meet them. • They might say, “There are no set rules, so I’ll decide what’s appropriate in the moment.” • They could accuse others of “not getting the spirit of the House” if they step out of line. • They might keep things intentionally vague and inconsistent, making others feel unsure or insecure.

In short: They exploit the absence of strict dogma to keep people off balance and dependent on their guidance.

6. Capitalizing on the Vision of World Peace

Bahá’í Teaching: The ultimate goal is global unity and peace. Troublemaker Move: The queen could frame any criticism of them as an attack on peace itself. • They might say, “I’m working for world peace, and you’re nitpicking about my leadership? Priorities, darling!” • They could portray themselves as a martyr for the cause, saying things like, “I carry the burden of this house on my sequined shoulders!” • They might demand sacrifices from others in the name of the “greater good.”

In short: They exploit the noble vision of peace and harmony to shut down dissent and demand sacrifice.

Final Performance: The Troublemaker’s Legacy

If this ruthless drag queen troublemaker played their cards right, they might end up: • As an untouchable figurehead in the House. • With a loyal following that dismisses criticism as divisive. • Seen as “necessary for unity” even if their actions are damaging.

But ultimately, their exploitation would undermine the core values of the House of Bahá’í: inclusivity, equality, and unity.

Moral of the Story

Just like in the ballroom, in any spiritual or social movement: • Charisma isn’t the same as virtue. • Unity shouldn’t mean blind obedience. • Inclusivity isn’t about optics—it’s about integrity.

The House of Bahá’í, like any great drag house, thrives when its queens are humble, collaborative, and focused on lifting everyone up—not just themselves.

He did #4.

Damn, R158, you are one low info poster. If you are too lazy to read the thread or the complaint, try Google.

Op, what is the book about? I never read it and never will, Was Blake a rape victim or a battered wife?

Could she not play the part well?

Industry publications falling in line, he is OVAH.

He’d be wise to reach a settlement and get this out of the headlines. Continuing the DARVO victim/bully schtick through surrogates is unlikely to help.

Yikes

Most of his “upcoming” work is in post-production and I suspect the performative ally gigs will dry up. He’s so dumb he’ll probably dig the hole deeper on his bro podcast.

According to the complaint, “another cast member” also filed sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni.

There was always something that bothered me about him, couldn't figure out. Never found him the least bit attractive on Jane the Virgin

Hes ok looking, the director is FUG. He prob showed a naked vid of his wife to brag about it, hideous men do it all the time.

Those texts will not only damage Justin's career but the careers of the two cunts who orchestrated the takedown of Blake.

It's funny, I was ignoring most of the idiots bleating about Blake, it was such an obvious smear campaign. And Justin essentially provided proof of his own smear campaign against Blake.

Baldoni has a disquieting vibe because like many neurodivergent people, his eyes don’t appear to be looking at anything even when looking directly at you.

Dear Justin,

Buh bye, BITCH.

Bye

You deserve every bit of this you fucking cunt

[quote]Like, it's one thing to accuse him of harassment, fine, that's plausible. But are we supposed to believe that guilty as fuck Justin "Who?" Baldoni had an upper hand in a smear war against totally innocent Blake Lively AND Ryan Reynolds?

Yes. Because it's the truth. Why do you have a problem with the truth? The text messages PROVE this

The one thing that really stands out to me, is that he allegedly claimed on various occasions to BL, that he was communicating with her deceased father.

Can you imagine having to work on a film with an actor you’re repulsed by due to his shitty behavior, AND then he walks up to you not once, but twice, claiming to be shooting the shit with your dead father???

I would have kneed him in the nuts, immediately & would have walked away from the whole thing right then & there.

It took great self control for her not to go off like that. That bullshit would have disturbed me more than the sexual harassment, because it displays a level of narcissism that is completely out of the ballpark, even for Hollywood.

His PR Crisis Team are total scum, and just as ghoulish as Baldoni.

Having ADHD is no excuse for being an abuser. Was the smear campaign just another “dopamine rush?!”

R178 is right-

I just recently learned of a CUNT who sued my company (also- a CUNT at Large-- the most evil group of people you could ever meet or know)

I paid for every file from Pacer- I learned these fuckers salaries, read their testimony-

I realized that SHE was human garbage and that they were human garbage.. But she had a great case and beat them at their own game.

Sometimes, it's evil vs. evil.

In this case- Blake played this WAY smarter. Baldoni and team were DUMB AS FUCK.

Both parties are trash. Blake wins.

Someone is VERY invested in this thread.

He really does seem to be on the spath spectrum, R179, that is some next level shit to have to deal with. I believe his death was recent, too. He is a sick and twisted mofo.

[quote]thanks for visiting us, Ryan!

You sound like a fool

R160, that’s so sad to watch.

I think the guy is absolutely GORGEOUS & really believed his side of the story when the smear campaign against Lively was taking place.

But having read those texts, it’s clear he was more than OK with having completely unethical people going up to bat for him, & that does genuinely say something about him, and his ethics, or lack thereof.

Porn addiction is quite common among ADHD because the brain responds strongly to “data stimulus” - this is called hyperfocus.

“Hyperfocus is an intense state of concentration where a person becomes completely absorbed in a task or activity, often to the point of losing track of time, surroundings, and even basic needs like eating or sleeping. It’s like having a mental spotlight shining directly on one thing, blocking out everything else. People with ADHD or autism often experience hyperfocus, especially when they’re engaged in something they find interesting, challenging, or rewarding. While it can lead to impressive productivity, creativity, or skill development, it can also cause problems if it prevents someone from switching to other important tasks or responsibilities.” ChatGPT

“I guess I missed the HR meeting…”

He's a dumbass, wow.

Why did he agree to this if baseless?

Can't believe people even care about this.

Oh yeah. He's fucked and he did it to himself. Total dumbass.

Way to go, buddy. Hope you have a back up career.

Why Justin lost his career

Yeah, he's over. WME dropping him was the final nail in the coffin.

DLers siding with Blake fucking Lively of all people – and so passionately, at that – is not something I'd ever imagine seeing, but we do live in the strangest of times. She and her husband are beyond vile, I don't watch anything with them in it.

Or maybe it's just one poster. That happens sometimes, too.

The most confounding aspect of this was not just Baldoni harassing Lively while making himself the spokesperson for male feminists

The most confounding aspect is why he chose to harass the wife of one of Hollywood’s few remaining superstars and thought he would get away with it

It seems like Baldoni, a himbo who fancied himself a multi hyphenate, was probably more fixated on Ryan Reynolds and the unfairness that Ryan had achieved success instead of Baldoni, whose crackpot religion probably nurtured the notion the Baldoni was more pure and enlightened and deserved material success more than Ryan.

I'm pretty sure it's one poster; I am hoping that he is not working for Mr. Reynolds.

To R195, I feel you had 1 too many edibles tonight.

R195, any straight man who describes himself as a “male feminist” hates women.

An acquaintance achieved some success as an actor. His show closed and he got involved in a ridiculous so called feminist movement called free the nipple. It involves women walking around bare breasted. He has had no acting jobs since. Some men are true feminists and others are just creeps.

Girls, girls, you’re all assholes

Am I the only one who thinks Phillywhore is a narcissist full of shit? He claims to have insider info on every celebrity spat

Phillywhore is much worse than that

Phillywhore is autistic

It’s quite obvious

The giveaway is the stilted speech

Phillywhore also posts from two accounts

Account one

Account two

Read the NYT article. I don’t know much about Blake but the slagging of her husband is sad. He’s unbelievably generous with charitable causes and just received the Order of Canada. So fuck you crusty bitches.

Doesn’t this suit just prove what a cuck Ryan Reynolds is? How could he allow his wife to report to this set every day?

I can’t decide which of these two people I like least.

That's a tough one, r206. It's a choice between a sexual harasser and bully who pretends to be a feminist and pretends to talk to dead people OR a B list actor who sometimes comes off as an asshole.

[quote] He’d be wise to reach a settlement

And what exactly would that settlement be, genius?

Perhaps... signing over the movie rights to that nasty fucking CUNT Black Lively and her GAY HUSBAND?

No thank you.

Those two dirty cunts already caused Justin to be dropped by WME.

He has nothing gain by signing over movie rights to those two evil cunts.

I hope he stands his ground and drags the two of them through the motherfucking MUD in court.

And then I hope Blake CUNTFACE DIRTY PUSSY Lively gets hit by a car and dies.

Because she's an evil, rotten fucking CUNT!

R189, he probably agreed to it because filming was already underway and he wanted to complete the movie.

I think Blake Lively is misjudging how awful she is coming across here.

The internet should just start referring to her as "BL" everywhere.

Per the lawsuit: "The emotional impact on Ms. Lively has been extreme, not only affecting her, but her family, including her husband and four children. There are days when she has struggled to get out of bed, and she frequently chooses not to venture outside in public. While she has fought to maintain her personal life and business interests, behind closed doors she has suffered from grief, fear, trauma, and extreme anxiety. She also has been experiencing repeated and painful physical symptoms as a result of this experience. Mr. Reynolds, too, has been affected mentally, physically, and professionally by his wife and children’s pain. Worst of all, however, has been the impact on their young children, who have been traumatized and emotionally uprooted in ways that have substantially impacted their well-being."

Manipulative cunts like Blake Lively always pull this card.

They're the meanest fucking Mean Girl CUNT bullies, who always play the victim when people fight back against their bullshit.

I don't believe a word out of her filthy mouth.

I imagine that Baldoni’s PR reps are going to take quite a hit as a result of this lawsuit. At least one of them must be cussing away on this thread, pleading with us to go back to hating that bitch!

It was a power play for the sequel, and now they poisoned the well. Killed the goose that laid the golden egg. No one in Hollywood is going to touch that sequel now.

None of the situations in her trailer where Juston or others saw her topless (removing makeup and breastfeeding) had to happen. It sounds like everything was casual and friendly among them, but now she’s digging up or manufacturing dirt. It almost sounds almost like she enjoyed the leering until she didn’t, or lured them in to a compromising situation she could use to her benefit later. She could’ve used a sheer fabric scarf, etc. to cover if she was that enraged.

Justin is cute but not that cute- and looks a little too sinewy/methy. I also think Ryan and Blake seem tainted a bit now, and knowing the behind the scene machinations makes me think twice about watching anything they produce. And I really like some of her movies until now.

Why not post a security guard at the trailer door?

I don't care, do you?

Idiots, the lot of 'em.

NOBODY CARES about these D-listers.

If they wanted to expand their paychecks from this fluke cinema hit, they should have buried the hatchet and come to an agreement.

But victim victim victim whining doesn't equal Hollywood $$$. Will they finally be the ones to learn.

Read the time article.

Time magazing? No thanks.

Referring to him as her GAY husband is supposed to be a slur? GTFO R 208.

R208. Homophobic trash.

[quote]this is another case of mutually assured career destruction.

Yep, the only winners are the lawyers.

[quote]One doesn’t make these accusations unless they’re true.

Bless your heart.

Justin is kind of long in the tooth to finally be learning about consequences for his actions.

R223 A malignant narcissist is incapable of learning from their mistakes or feeling remorse.

Watch the Armie Hammer podcast below, start around 1:36:00

He only takes responsibility for his actions in as much as he believes “he didn’t know any better” and refuses to make any amends if it would personally damage his reputation

[quote]Watch the Armie Hammer podcast below

Thank you, no.

R6- Are you new?

Ryan Reynolds is a homosexual.

Speaking of nudes, I am now recalling the rumour that Blake Lively’s nudes were leaked because Jennifer Garner found them on Ben Affleck’s phone and went nuclear.

I wish for all the "PR people" and "behind the scenes crisis managers" to go fuck themselves. Blake is a bit of a cunt but is beautiful and mostly stays in her lane; She held herself well during the movie despite the snipers Ryan does interesting projects and is kind of funny. Balduni guy and his associates are embarrassing and hopefully dug their career graves

Blake Lively? Blake Deadly!

Both teams are probably already in heavy negotiation with designers concerning the free wardrobe for the court appearances. The stylists have their christmas ruined by working overtime on mood boards and the heavy decision what kind of sunglasses are appropriate and wheter to remove them in front of the courthouse. Maybe Blake will go for the Goop trial look and wear Jeffrey Darmer specs?

Hope they don´t expect gift bags from the court.

Minor point, but the thing about her weight? That is dick-ish. He knows about what she weighs. It’s not like she is morbidly obese and it’s hard to tell if she weights 300 or 375 pounds. She is tall and slim. Assuming she is 5’10” (and he’d know her height just by looking at her) she weighs somewhere between 135 and 150 pounds. Even at a range of 135-155 that’s close enough. It’s not like a doctor told him, “Don’t lift any women who weighs over 147.5 pounds.”

He was making a point of getting the weight because she is tall and he knew the number might be higher than expected.

Oh please. She could simply tell her weight to the guy who will lift her. It's a fucking job. What makes her so sensitive to the touch and ego fragile? We are adults.

I said it was a minor point and including it in her lawsuit is probably a mistake because it is so petty. But he was being a jerk.

^ but it would be hysterical if this ended with her having g to get on a scale in a courtroom.

It was clear through the entire Preserve boondoggle that Mis Lively's shit doesn't stink and that she is grand dame of the highest realm.

[quote]Baldoni and team were DUMB AS FUCK.

Seriously, seriously stupid.

1. Did they think Blake & Ryan would just take his organized world wide bashing of her, lying down?

2. And to have the nerve to go after her, after the way he behaved to her and other actors on set

He must think there was nothing wrong with any of his behavior. I'm sure she was no prize to work with, but I'd have just shut the hell up about her. There is something wrong with him mentally. He committed career suicide. And these two viscous cunts involved in this attack on Blake are beyond stupid. Like it or not, Ryan Reynolds is very powerful in the entertainment industry. To think he'd allow his wife and himself and their brands to be attacked & just take it, is insane.

I'm no fan of Blake or Ryan, but I hope these 3 cunts never work again. I hope that lying journalist also doesn't work again.

[quote]Oh please. She could simply tell her weight to the guy who will lift her. It's a fucking job. What makes her so sensitive to the touch and ego fragile? We are adults.

She had just had a baby. If they were so concerned about her weight, they shouldn't have hired her. Only a piece of shit would harass a new mother about her weight.

This, from way back in August, raises some really good points.

R231, and there were no lifting scenes in the script. He was just being creepy and aggressive. He's a professional; he's supposed to focus on the film. He's not an important person, he doesn't have years of good will to draw on if he constantly tries to undermine the star. Lively did was she was programmed to do: she raised her complaints with HR, she didn't blow up the film, she went through with the promotional work. No one from the set has said anything bad about her; many of them knew what was going on.

Justin Baldoni’s lawyer stated that the decision to hire PR crisis manager Melissa Nathan stemmed from “multiple demands and threats made by Ms. Lively during production.”

According to TMZ, Blake Lively’s demands included:

• no more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake • no more mention of Baldoni's alleged previous "pornography addiction"

• no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others • no further mentions of cast and crew's genitalia • no more inquiries about Blake's weight • no further mention of Blake's dead father

[quote]these two viscous cunts

Pics please.

Everyone on this board used to be so eager to jump down the throat of an actor who belongs to a cult like religion that hates homosexuality. What changed?

Over/under on whether his own crisis management expert has turned on him?

[quote]In one exchange dated Aug. 4, the complaint obtained by PEOPLE on Dec. 21 shows that Baldoni texted a screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) about Bieber, 28, titled "Hailey Bieber's history of bullying many women."

[quote]"This is what we would need," Baldoni wrote in the text, per the complaint, to which Abel replied: "Yes I literally just spoke to Melissa about this on the break about what we discussed last night for social and digital. Focus on Reddit, TikTok, [Instagram]."

[quote]Per the complaint, on the same day, Abel sent a message to Nathan stating: "I'm having reckless thoughts of wanting to plant pieces this week of how horrible Blake is to work with… Just to get ahead of it."

[quote]"Same," Nathan responded at the time, noting that one journalist friend of hers was "ready when we are," according to the complaint.

R243, California allows discovery before a lawsuit is filed. All of these messages had to be turned over.

So the pr mavens were aware of the risks of putting things in writing, yet did exactly that? That these morons use social media to effectively shape opinion is chilling.

Love when assholes are also stupid.

He refused to go down on her. The warts turned him off.

Bless your ❤️ as well, R222.

[quote]All of these messages had to be turned over.

Which makes the crisis management expert look inept, and Baldoni even dumber for pursuing an aggressive course of action in this particular way when his star was on the rise. If someone's career is going down with this ship and it's either his or the crisis management maven's, he's pretty expendable.

[quote] He has nothing gain by signing over movie rights to those two evil cunts.

Nothing but money, money, money, money. No one said he has to give up the option rights for free.

Taylor Swift engages in the same petty,underhanded, smearing of people just like Baldoni does. I bet she's helping Blake take him down

Welp, R251, our very own Patron Saint of DL said/sang your conclusion best… 👇🏽

Crybully Justin doesn't need anyone but himsekf to "take him down." R251 is very hurt when women take care of business.

[quote] She had just had a baby. If they were so concerned about her weight, they shouldn't have hired her. Only a piece of shit would harass a new mother about her weight.

Fuck off, FRAU.

She was always a fat, mean PIG.

[quote] He refused to go down on her. The warts turned him off.

That, and her flabby cellulite jiggling ass.

[quote] Taylor Swift engages in the same petty,underhanded, smearing of people just like Baldoni does. I bet she's helping Blake take him down

Yup. Taylor and Blake, lesbian mean girls.

I hate it when people I work with bring up their religion and ask/harass me about my own or if I'm religious.

Screw him just for that. Seriously, FU buddy.

R227- Are you new too- unless you're the same person

Ben Affleck is a homosexual bottom.

All this sound and fury over what's basically a Lifetime movie.

I'm still surprised this movie did as well as it did? Is it because of Blake's connection to Ryan?

R257, the movie isn’t what is important. The bigger story is about how easy it is to manipulate people through social media. It’s one thing to be generally aware that could happen; it’s another to see the details of how it is done and to see how easy it is to plant fake or misleading stories.

DL posts were definitely part of the “campaign.”

Touch grass, R254.

R243- I. am really starting to wonder if that Kirsten chick from YT WAS involved with Justin's team..

"The journalist friend"....

Ryan's so busy trying to suck his own dick he can't possibly be shutting the cunt up in the time-honored way.

She doesn't look very lively to me.

But she does resemble some blake people I grew up around in East Orange.

Fuck that.

Yes, R262. She was also involved re their campaign against Amber Heard. A go to.

When we had to kiss, he kissed me.

When we had to shoot a nude scene, I was partly nude!

When we got to know each other, he had the nerve to kid around!!!!

I was raped by HIS THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!

She's trying to do to Justin what those other fraudulent #metoo CUNTS did to Armie Hammer.

Fuck her.

I hope he counter sues Lively AND Ryan Reynolds and gets a shit ton of money out of those two fucking cunts.

The posters throwing gay and lesbian around as slurs may have forgotten where they are posting.

Scooter Braun is involved with PR agency so used the Justin campaign to even some old scores.

Or those posters aren't gay/lesbian, R268 and are being paid to post.

I’m R268, that was my guess too, R270. With misogyny as a go to tool to shape opinion, why not homophobia, eh?

Utterly disgusting, Justin and his flying monkeys, and their “work.”

R271, the lawsuit describes the plan to attack Lively by referring to her friendship with Taylor Swift and claiming that Lively is a “bully” just like Swift. Posters are trying to execute that strategy now on this thread—see R251.

This pisses me off, because he was successfully destroying that bitch. How she will be even more insufferable

Just about the time R251 talked about TS, a story something like his appeared in the Fail. I have little info about sm smearing, but having followed the debacle that is Prince Harry and his wife, I see his PR/stans all over sm bullying, lying, manipulating and brigading alongside certain "media" outlets, but so sad for him Harry's crisis mansgement has mostly failed. When you disagree with soneone on many DL threads, they just might be on someone's "team."

R274 why bring up Harry and Meghan? Whatever they do media wise doesn’t even compare to what the palace does. The palace is also the one to conduct a review of Megan’s alleged mistreatment of staff and other royal households and had to hurry it after I assume it showed how shirt they themselves have been, lol.

So, this is nothing like the royal gossip of a couple vs and entire nation’s press.

Cry bully is a perfect moniker for Justin, Lively even had to contend with him sobbing at length in her trailer. What an utter manipulative twat he is.

In his wounded narc ego scheming he did not even seem to consider if he was harming the gross of the film. Who would want to insure his work going forward? Such a liability and so disordered. He’s box office poison and bad at business and an utter hypocrite to boot.

Fake Lively is a fraud.

None of this negates the fact that she's a horrible cunt to her "lessers."

I would never, ever watch one of her movies.

And now? Same goes for Ryan Reynolds.

They can both fuck off permanently, and die in a grease fire.

I avoid Lively, Reynolds’s and Swift. Never watched GG, Deadpool or listen to Top 40 pop. They are all irrelevant in this instance.

Baldoni is scum and was dumb enough to pay to document the case against him. He’s going down, was already dropped by his agency.

Justin sounds like a fucking lunatic, but she's known to be a piece of work herself--Armie Hammer was famously fired from Gossip Girl for calling her an "insufferable bitch" on set. How ironic that "It Ends with Us" may end them both.

Didn’t Blake Lively get married on a plantation? Enough said.

Lions and tigers and bots, oh my!

He’s been like this a long time…

I saw that all of Livley's 'TRAVELING PANTS' co-stars just released a joint statement of support of her.

Didn't DL claim they all hated Blake? Or, was that Justin's paid PR minions saying? Either way, it was incorrect.

The Traveling Pants statement is ridiculous. “Throughout the filming of It Ends With Us, we saw her summon the courage to ask for a safe workplace for herself and colleagues on set,” Uh, no you didn’t. None of you were on set so you didn’t see shit.

Exactly, R284.

Once again, Blake Lively the CUNT is over playing her hand by getting people to lie for her.

She's doing the EXACT thing she's accusing Justin Baldoni of doing.

Fucking hypocritical cunt.

As I stated in an earlier thread a crew friend who worked on the film told me Baldoni was clueless and in over his head but Lively was a raging cunt who caused unnecessary delays with her tantrums and despicabke, disrespectful behavior. And she got a highly experienced 1st AD named Julie Bloom fired. I hope maybe Bloom will speak out someday about the toxic piece of shit who is Blake Li ely,

[quote]Just about the time [R251] talked about TS, a story something like his appeared in the Fail.

God knows nobody ever writes stories about Taylor Swift without being influenced by Datalounge.

R286 sounds like more astroturfing to me,

This doesn't make me like Blake & Ryan more.

^Oh no oh no oh no

[quote] Ryan does interesting projects

As soon as one of you fuckers had this nonsense to say I knew this thread had been swarmed with PR jackals

True r291, if you look at Ryan's resume he has made so much trash

Oh, Ryan has the "PR jackels" now does he?

Ha. There's only absolute proof one person has "PR jackels" in this situation and it's been admitted by his own text messages, dear.

Next he will be suing the PR firm he hired to smear Livley!

Blake Lively P.R. Fan Frau Cunt Alert at R293!!!!!

Someone get the stinky pussy odor repellent for R293 and make it go away!!!!

The rotten fish smell is killing us!

First off r293 if you need to know how to spell "jackals" correctly you can just look at my post, which you claim to be quoting but went on to misspell repeatedly.

And secondly I was skimming through this thread to have a handle on this story to have something to talk about with my insufferable mainstream-minded dullard relatives over Christmas, who will inevitably find this tabloid nonsense "juicy" -- but someone calling Ryan Reynolds' work "interesting" was simply a bridge too far and needed to be called out as such.

[quote]No more private, multi hour meetings in BL's trailer, [bold]with Mr Baldoni crying,[/bold]with no outside BL appointed representativeto monitor.

r27 Bro. What? 🥴

It's like a movie where two horrible people magically find each other and then get what they deserve.

R297, it's quite a world when having a snotty attitude is considered just as awful as being a destructive sexual harasser.

[quote] Blake Lively Claims Justin Baldoni 'Cried' in Her Dressing Room Over Reports That She 'Looked Old' for “It Ends with Us” Role

Bwahahahahaha!!!

So the FAT and OLD bitch can't take it when someone else acts like a Mean Girl to her?

Awwww.... poor little cunt.

[quote]Awwww.... poor little cunt.

Actually, she is a quite well-off little cunt.

[quote]If you want to see which way the wind is blowing, just wait until Brandon Sklenar, who is on a career ascendancy, posts about it on social media.

He made a post of support for Blake on Instagram.

I love him so much.

R298 none of that harrassment has been proved. And Armie Hammer wasn't a cannibal. And Mattress Girl lied.

Baldoni’s podcast cohost quits.

Wait… he was crying in her trailer over “reports” that claimed she looked too old for the part???

JFC. What a manipulative blowhard.

Cry bully to the max, R305, reportedly carried on for hours. It would be funny if he wasn’t also a predator.

Either Blake Lively is a complete sociopath or that is guy is disturbed. I think she is a cunt but I don’t think she is a complete sociopath.

Justin may want to curtail his pr expenses and save for his legal bills and dwindling career prospects.

The PR is not denying the texts, R307. Lively did not invent them.

R307 the man platformed ALOK.

He’s the sociopath.

Pussy Power Among The Entertainment Oligarchs.

JUSTICE FOR BLAKE'$ PU$$Y as the offending movie just happens to open.

[quote] The one thing that really stands out to me, is that he allegedly claimed on various occasions to BL, that he was communicating with her deceased father.

[quote] Can you imagine having to work on a film with an actor you’re repulsed by due to his shitty behavior, AND then he walks up to you not once, but twice, claiming to be shooting the shit with your dead father???

That one jumped out to me as well, R179. I believe my response would be offering to arrange a face-to-face meeting with the deceased if he’s so keen on conversing with him.

He looks like Luigi cleaned up.

Stop! Stop! He’s already dead!

Why wouldn't an actress be a sociopath. An actress such as Lively with her long track record of cuntitude.

1) Emotional Detachment: Sociopaths often have a limited ability to feel emotions like empathy, which can allow them to portray a wide range of characters without being emotionally affected by the roles they play.

Miss Lively immediately distanced herself from this role and movie about spouse abuse and restructed the PR campaign as almost a lie, about flowers and uplifting message.

2) Manipulation Skills: They tend to be skilled at reading others and understanding social dynamics, which can help them mimic emotions and behaviors convincingly.

3) Focus on Performance: Sociopaths may be highly focused on achieving their goals, including excelling in acting, which could drive them to hone their craft intensively.

4) Charisma: Many sociopaths can be charming and charismatic, traits that are advantageous in the entertainment industry.

Miss Lively is missing only #4

R311, the movie was released months ago and killed at the box office, grossing over $340 million worldwide. I wouldn’t have guessed that either. There may have been money left on the table due to Baldoni’s pre-exmptive PR attack on Lively when the movie was just released.

Variety found out where all the text messages came from: the publicist Abel who had worked on the anti-Blake campaign was fired from her agency, and, as a result, agreed to turn over her phone when she left. When Lively’s lawyers came calling, the agency (which itself had been involved in the smear campaign) were able to produce the messages.

Variety

[Quote] According to TMZ, Blake Lively’s demands included:

[Quote] • no more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake • no more mention of Baldoni's alleged previous "pornography addiction"

[Quote] • no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others • no further mentions of cast and crew's genitalia • no more inquiries about Blake's weight • no further mention of Blake's dead father

Jesus Christ what an asshole Baldoni is.

He’s something alright.

He really is OVAH.

So tired of hearing about the Blake Lively.Hope we get to hear her and Renyold’s splitsville!!!

SAG is also supporting Lively.

Personally, I have never experienced a “professional” setting as I have always been one to develop personal relationships with co-workers and bosses throughout the years and various jobs. Conversations about personal lives involving sex, drugs, cheating, poor humor, jokes, nudity, porn, alcohol - I’ve heard and seen it all.

I think every boss I’ve ever had, I have gotten drunk with, most likely at a concert.

I suppose in situations, I could have weaponized it against someone and someone could also probably weaponize it against me.

I just feel like this is a woman who didn’t have anything bad to say about Harvey Weinstein and Woody Allen, who she knew and worked with, is going to be offended by some of these things.

Sure - a lot of what she is saying sounds like they were being unprofessional. But, had he given her the rights to the movie like she initially wanted and she didn’t feel forced to work under his control and production company, I’m sure this would have been nothing.

they are all falling in line with the Reynolds' Requirement.

Just to point out what I mean in my R323 post, just watch that interview with Blake Lively and Parker Posey with that female journalist.

That journalist could easily file a sexual harassment lawsuit against Blake Lively and Parker Posey as not only were they nasty to her, they started to make crude jokes about their tits as a way to undermine her questions - then attacked her for asking them about costumes in the movie directly after.

That is 100% sexual harassment and unprofessional and everything Blake Lively is claiming was done to her.

You can’t pick and chose when to play victim and sexually harass others.

Cool, r325. Your experience really has nothing to do with what happened. Blake Lively is a woman and most women don't want to hear some nasty fuck coworker talk about sex.

You're not a serious person if you're comparing a rude interview to sustained sexual harassment and general douchebaggery. The journalist obviously hates women hence her support for Johnny Depp.

R326 I work in the beauty industry it’s ALL been women!

And yes — what they did WAS sexual harassment. Talking about your ass and tits in an interview to annoy and undermine another woman is absolutely positively sexual harassment.

You’re just ignoring it because I suppose women can’t sexually harass other women.

And if that journalist hates women, what does that make Blake Lively keeping her mouth shut about Harvey and Woody?

See the hypocrisy here?

Stupid Actress-The End.

[quote] R298 none of that harrassment has been proved. And Armie Hammer wasn't a cannibal. And Mattress Girl lied.

[quote] Baldoni’s podcast cohost quits.

Blake Lively is a fetid cunt, who's trying to pull an Armie Hammer on Justin Baldoni.

And all the cowardly Hollywood sheep are standing behind her, thanks to her marriage to Ryan Reynolds.

I hope that Lively and Reynolds both die in a plane crash.

I don't wish death to anybody. However, it feels like this might be a plot to raise her shitty profile.

If so, how diabolical.

Waiting for the court case. Neither principals are likeable, but I can't help wondering why Lively needed to call out specific "don't" behaviors to continue working on set? Aren't movie productions governed by workplace safety and typical HR policies already? And not just by the studio, but in the jurisdictions of filming? Why didn't Lively cite any of these in her grievance?

Uh, yeah, ok, R332.

Melissa Nathan, Scooter Braun and his TAG PR company are gonna be toxic waste in tinseltown after this PR disaster.

Good!

All I personally know about Blake is that she’s a deep racist as shown in her ‘it’s always been my ultimate dream to get married on a plantation’ statement. It’s likely she couldn’t stand being directed by a Latino.

Justin Baldoni is Italian you freaking dumbass.

Blake Lively is a problematic racist. In 2020 she said in an interview she had “an LA face, and an Oakland booty”. She doesn’t have any non-white friends unless unless they are rich celebrities.

Blake Lively has had problems getting along with most of her costars on TV sets and films. Ask Anna Kendrick how she liked her in the movie they did together. They were notorious for feuding. The Norwegian interviewer revealed the real Blake Lively in the behind the scenes interview on YouTube with Parker Posey.

Parker Posey also believed the interviewer was a cunt. Parker Posey’s judgment wins.

Blake Lively and Parker Posey were the definition of cunts throughout the interview. Parker Posey was drunk during the interview.

Blake Lively didn’t have any problems promoting her alcohol brands on a red carpet about domestic violence.

Cunt vs cunt

What's with that Bernadette Peters 1983 hair?

R332, it was an HR matter. Those were the specific things she complained about to the studio and she wanted Baldoni to stop. She got the studio's lawyers involved and there was a negotiated agreement in which Baldoni agreed not to keep harass her. Subsequently Baldoni worried that news of the agreement would come out. Other people on the set did not like him, either, and Ryan Reynolds certainly didn't. That was why Baldoni turned to his PR people to preemptively attack Lively.

Why on earth would Baldoni harass someone who is way higher in the Hollywood food chain than he is? Could he be that stupid?

Many religious people are, R345

[quote] That was why Baldoni turned to his PR people to preemptively attack Lively.

Wrong.

It was CUNT Blake Lively that started all the trouble with her typical Mean Girl cuntiness, and Justin was forced to respond.

The beauty of this whole thing is that Justin owns the rights to "It Ends With Us," so Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds can go fuck themselves if they want a remake.

Team Justin ALL THE WAY!

R345, Baldoni isn't just some guy. He has a backer, Steve Sarowitz, a "billionaire philanthropist" who has been willing to invest heavily in Baldoni's production company.

[quote] Only in Blake's social circle (and in your mind), the town is very much behind Baldoni.

"[T]he town"??? Honey, this is real life not a Ryan Murphy Netflix series.

But it has potential...hmm.

Has Ben Affleck weighed in yet?

Sisterhood of the Traveling C*nts is more like it.

Did somebody say “Amber Heard?”

She has generously taken time out of her very busy schedule to come out swinging in support of Blake Lively, who no doubt will benefit from being associated with the very honest and non-problematic Amber.

Christina Ricci just posted on Instagram in support of Blake.

Ok the poster who claims Lively is a bitch because she didnt get along with Anna Kendrick has to be joking. Anna is known for being a stuck up cunt.

[quote] Ok the poster who claims Lively is a bitch because she didnt get along with Anna Kendrick has to be joking. Anna is known for being a stuck up cunt.

Girls, girls.

You're BOTH rotten, evil CUNTS!

This is what they did to Chris Hardwick-The Talking Dead host who got "Me-tooed" by many of his ex-girlfriends who sued him.

Even Yvette Nicole Brown turned on him to get control of the Host job in AMC. He was cleared eventually( it helped that Lydia Hearst was his wife). He wasn't a "good-breakup boyfriend" but several of his ex-GF's defended him& he got his job back.

Jenny Slate.

"“As Blake Lively’s castmate and friend, I voice my support as she takes action against those reported to have planned and carried out an attack on her reputation,” Slate—who portrayed the sister of Baldoni's character in It Ends With Us— shared in a statement to Today Dec. 23. “Blake is a leader, loyal friend and a trusted source of emotional support for me and so many who know and love her.”

“What has been revealed about the attack on Blake is terribly dark, disturbing, and wholly threatening," she continued. "I commend my friend, I admire her bravery, and I stand by her side.”"

Cunts supporting cunts.

Quelle surprise.

None of these celebrity endorsements of Fake Lively mean anything.

They're just bought and paid for WHORES, doing her bidding.

It's meaningless.

Jenny Slate would say or to anything to promote herself.

I’m surprised her statement of support didn’t end with, “I am alive and available to work.”

Interesting that Lively hasn't also filed a defamation suit. Baldoni might have started a "smear" campaign, but all that campaign did was circulate reports of Lively's own behavior. A defamation suit can only prevail if the plaintiff can provide evidence of falsity in the information being spread.

Lively and and Kendrick both being cunts and both be true

R360, in the U.S., it's difficult for a "public figure" to sue for defamation. It's not enough to prove that someone made false statements. Suing for defamation is usually regarded as a waste of money and court resources.

R360 makes an important point. Truth is an absolute defense against defamation claims, and if there was any basis to “PR smears to my reputation,” defamation would be part of the lawsuit she is filing.

Basically her lawsuit is saying “I was a cunt and he had NO RIGHT to tell the world about it!”

Didn’t Blake Lively make fun of Kate Middleton when she was being treated for cancer.

Gwyneth Paltrow came to her defense. Gwyneth Paltrow and Blake Lively were both Harvey Weinstein actresses. Think of all the actresses they could have saved if they had spoken out about Harvey, instead of riding his coattails.

R365, thank you for noting my strong support for my suffering sister, Blake Lively. I’m standing with her and am pleased to announce my newest GOOP product, the Stand With Blake Yoni Egg! Made out of beautiful and naturally anti-fungal Swarovski crystal, the SWB Yoni Egg is a beautiful and timeless way to add a powerful weapon against patriarchy to your bedside drawer for only $1,999.

And from now through January 1, $5 of every sale will be donated to Blake’s attorneys. Order NOW!

R362, the difficulty in prevailing in such as case in no way prevents Lively from categorically calling out every supposed "smear" as a lie. Which she hasn't. Because she can't because she is a known quantity in the industry no matter how many lemmings release statements for fear of reprisal from Reynolds.

She’s also suing his producer partner? Cause he sexually harassed her as well according to the documents.

R368, yes, she has.

Yup, this writer gets it.

He’s being sued for defamation by his former publicist

Summarized by ChatGPT

The lawsuit filed by Stephanie Jones, founder of the PR firm Jonesworks, against Justin Baldoni, his company Wayfarer Studios, and publicists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel, centers on claims of defamation, breach of contract, and conspiracy. Here are the key points: 1. Allegations of Conspiracy and Smear Campaign: • Jones alleges that Nathan and Abel conspired with Baldoni and Wayfarer to implement a media smear campaign against It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively. • Jones claims she had no knowledge or involvement in this campaign but was later blamed for it. 2. Breach of Contract: • Baldoni and Wayfarer had an active PR contract with Jonesworks from May 2024 to May 2025, valued at $25,000 per month. • Abel allegedly left Jonesworks suddenly to form her own firm, taking clients, including Baldoni and Wayfarer, with her. 3. Defamation and Damage to Reputation: • Jones accuses Abel and Nathan of defaming her within the industry and spreading false claims about her involvement in the smear campaign against Lively. • Abel allegedly claimed that Jones doctored text messages, which Jones denies, stating the messages were forensically extracted from a company phone. 4. Allegations of Client Poaching and Document Theft: • Abel and Nathan are accused of stealing clients and confidential documents during Abel’s departure from Jonesworks. 5. Text Message Evidence: • The lawsuit references incriminating text messages from Abel, including negative comments about Baldoni and Nathan. 6. Retaliation and Industry Fallout: • Jones claims the misconduct by Abel, Nathan, Baldoni, and Wayfarer caused significant harm to her business and reputation.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and court orders to address the alleged misconduct. It also aims to counter any implication that Jones leaked texts to Lively’s legal team. This case appears to be the first of several anticipated lawsuits emerging from the It Ends With Us controversy.

Get's what, R370? The "not a perfect person" defense is the calling card of a narcissist.

I guess she wasn't 'perfect person' when she defended Woody Allen?

Or, hung out with Weinstein? Or, sent nudes to Affleck while he was married?

Or fucked Reynolds while he was married to ScarJo?

Or bullied the other folks on Gossip Girl? Or bullied that interviewer?

Or used a movie about DV to hawk her booze and hair products?

Or got married on a plantation?

Or glorified antebellum culture?

This article is no doubt more drivel planted by her PR team. It's not complicated and it has nothing to do with her being a woman. She is a Grade A asshole and a bully.

Explained using drag queens

🎭 The Setting: A Drag House Drama

Imagine “House of Jones” is a well-established drag house run by Mama Stephanie Jones (the PR firm owner). The house is famous for managing some high-profile queens, including Justin Baldoni (a star queen) and his performance troupe, Wayfarer Studios.

👑 The Key Players:

• Mama Stephanie Jones: The seasoned house mother who runs things with a sharp eye and fierce wigs.

• Justin Baldoni (Wayfarer Studios): A headlining queen known for being a “feminist icon” but who’s been causing backstage chaos.

• Melissa Nathan & Jennifer Abel: Two drag daughters in the house who worked closely with Stephanie but have now left to start their own house (House of Abel).

💥 The Drama Unfolds:

1. The Smear Campaign Scandal:

• A rival queen (Blake Lively) claims that Justin Baldoni and his troupe (Wayfarer Studios) tried to sabotage her with nasty rumors and shady backstage antics.

• The scandal blows up on Drag Race Twitter, and everyone’s wigs are on fire.

2. Blame Game:

• Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel (Jones’ former drag daughters) allegedly whispered to Baldoni, “Mama Jones is the one who started all this drama, not us!”

• Meanwhile, Mama Jones is clutching her pearls, claiming she knew nothing about the drama and is being falsely blamed.

3. The Walkout:

• Jennifer Abel suddenly leaves the House of Jones, taking Justin Baldoni and several other star queens (clients) with her to start her own house (House of Abel).

• Mama Jones is left with empty rhinestone corsets and unpaid contracts.

4. Receipt Time:

• Mama Jones brings out the texts (receipts) — messages from Jennifer Abel saying things like:

• “Justin is so pompous. He’s not that important.”

• “Melissa is a piece of sht.”*

• These shady messages were allegedly extracted from a company phone Abel returned after leaving the house.

5. Defamation on the Drag Scene:

• Abel and Nathan are allegedly still walking around the ballroom scene, whispering to other queens that Mama Jones doctored the texts and is spreading lies to save face.

• Mama Jones denies this, saying the texts are real and unedited receipts.

📜 The Lawsuit (Drag Ball Main Event):

Mama Jones has now sashayed into the courtroom with a list of demands:

• She wants compensation for the damage caused to her drag house’s reputation.

• She’s accusing Abel, Nathan, and Baldoni of defamation, breach of contract, and client poaching.

• She wants the court to officially declare that she’s not the villain in this storyline.

🔥 The Stakes:

This isn’t just one performance on the runway — it’s the beginning of a full drag war.

• Mama Jones wants justice and her drag house restored.

• Abel and Nathan are trying to protect their new house’s reputation.

• Baldoni is stuck in the middle, watching his sequins fall off under the harsh stage lights.

It’s a classic drag scandal: backstage whispers, stolen wigs (clients), text message receipts, and a very public feud.

And as they say in the drag world: “The library is open, and the reading has begun!”

Damn, when it rains, it pours! He's totally fucked.

I'm also not feeling the article at R370. Yes, men get away with bad behavior more than women do and yes it's unfair. But there are other actresses who've had the "difficult" label thrown at them and had it fail to stick because there was just wasn't enough there to back it up. That isn't the case with Blake who has managed to alienate people on nearly every set she's worked on. On top of that, her public persona comes off as very, very fake. Again, maybe men can get away with that shit more than women do, but that's not really much of a defense, is it?

R376, but being annoying or “difficult” is, in the scheme of things, trivial. People work with her and her films make money. If there was something truly wrong with her, she would have been dropped long ago. Nothing she’s been accused of doing is remotely comparable to what Baldoni did.

I didn't say Baldoni's actions aren't far worse. They're insanely fucking worse. The man deserves to never fucking work again. I'm only saying that painting Blake's pre-existing reputation problems as solely the result of sexism is a little disingenuous.

I hope all the PR bitches and the writers and these rags get dragged through the mud. Show them what it feels like when it happens to them.

LOLz indeed. See if they're laughing about it now that it's happening to them - but this time with receipts and the truth.

R370 This article is just “Free The White Bitch”.

Amber Heard was exposed for her bruise kit photos and took a shit on his bed.

That interviewer that launched the Blake Lively disaster also posted Anne Hathaway. Anne sent her an apology email and explained her issues.

Blake never apologized just like she’s never apologized for her failed white female Antebellum worship brand or her plantation wedding or working with Woody Allen and among a lot of other things.

She just hides behind her PR team who no doubt asked for this.

R380 - you're deranged. Do you know how many stars have worked with Woody Allen - what the hell are you talking about?

You hate Blake - fine. But it's obvious this was a smear campaign for someone who is creepy.

The only sane person among all these articles and lawsuits looks to be Blake. So sorry your team lost.

Blake is on the list of Woody Allen defenders.

Well if you can't trust warring PR types ...

Sorry, there's just no legitimate way to end that sentence.

I know it's relly difficult, but can you spot Crisis Mgr Jen's guys in here? LOVE the lawsuit against her, a fun Christmas eve miracle

Where Blake and I differ is, I'd be demanding more discussion of cast and crew's genitalia.

I don't know or care about this Baldoni person but I was done with this bitch and her bitch husband when they jizzed out their mouths over their gorgeous plantation wedding - sick fucks

Blake Lively is a problematic racist. In 2020 she said in an interview she had “an LA face, and an Oakland booty”. She doesn’t have any non-white friends unless unless they are rich celebrities.

—Anonymous”

So like, a female Mel Gibson?

Hmmmmm…

Does anyone else see a creepy parallel between Baldoni and Nev Schulman?

How Did Blake Lively’s Lawyers Obtain Bombshell Texts From Justin Baldoni’s PR Team?

R373, I’ve always defended Woody Allen. Get over it. Even Mia Farrow defends him these days.

R391 - Mia? Defends Woody?

Why is this nobody getting attention in the news?

All of this infighting forever taints her brand, Ryan included.

Doesn’t matter if she lands on the right side in court, NO production or movie company is going to invest or promote her if the wheels come off halfway through the launch.

You cannot throw a pound of rotten hamburger into two pounds of fresh and expect a happy outcome.

Baldoni and Lively are peas in a pod. It seems to have been a cat fight from the moment they started working together. His scorched earth smear campaign was tacky as hell but very effective and public reaction is based on Lively's real behavior and vibe. She had alredy gone scorched earth on him twice, with the labour disputes and trying to steal away control of. his project in at least two significant ways. Then her obvious hissy mean girl fit during the PR. His PR campaign doesn't make sense for his future career. Her latest volley doesn't make sense for her likeability and employability, behind doors people will think she is trouble. It really seems like two immature, emotionally driven control freaks having a tit for tat. As much as I dislike Lively, if Boldoni was director (and producer?), any untoward behavior on set was finally his responsibility. If he was the perpetrator, what an amateur.

Most men learn in their 20s, or by their 30s, learn from their first experience about women such as Lively. Trouble from a mile away. One must be polite and otherwise "grey rock" them. Disengage.

Blake has a problem with strong, swarthy, Baha'i-mian men who act rings around her, even when they themselves aren't complete thespians.

This rapidly approaching Jon-Benet levels of fascination for the Datalounge.

“They say you look fat, Blake”, sobbed Justin.

I need to see Lifetime make this. Blake to be played by Alison Sweeney.
